Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes

By Marlene • Jul 21st, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

This season has definitely been the season of the Statement Shoe. They were seen all over the spring runways and again for this coming fall too. Though I usually don’t advocate making a big monetary investment in shoes that aren’t classic, some shoes are just so different in special it’d be silly not to.
One particular [...]

By Marlene • Jul 20th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

If you’ve read my blog more than say, once, you already know I’m a big big fan of shopbop.com. Today you’ll notice the company’s site has been totally overhauled, making our shopping experience even better than ever. The front page now has a few user-friendly options; you can choose to shop the newest, hottest, latest; [...]



New Fall 2009 Shoe Arrivals

By Marlene • Jul 17th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Not surprisingly as I write this, I probably should be at the gym. Bad. But I can’t seem to go when it’s so hot out. The idea of getting out of my baking car and walking through the oven we call “AZ” to get inside and sweat some more and walk back through the oven [...]



MySkins Nude Lingerie

By Marlene • Jul 15th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

A lot of people don’t like to take work home with them. They try and leave it at the office or at the very least, don’t bring it into personal activities. When you’re a bit obsessed with the nature of your work, however, it’s a totally different thing. You can’t help when and where you [...]



Barneys New York Finds

By Marlene • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

As I write this post, there are officially 97 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes and 2 seconds until the Barneys New York store at Scottsdale Fashion Square opens and I could not be more excited. Yay! Most of us fashion-obsessed just can’t wait as a store like Barney’s in Arizona is long overdue.
I could quite [...]



BCBG MaxAzria Spring 2009 Runway

By Marlene • Jun 2nd, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Last year I scored this amazing BCBG MaxAzria Runway dress on sale for my birthday. I’m still totally obsessed with it because it’s truly just gorgeous. One thing I love about BCBG is there’s always fantastic sales. You can score an amazing dress at 75% off that’s good quality and not something everyone else. With [...]



Absolutely Fabulous Party Dresses

By Marlene • May 27th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

So in exactly one month, I’ll be turning 59 in Bunny Years. (If you haven’t seen the movie “House Bunny” yet, go get it now, it’s hilarious and you’ll totally understand the reference.)
Like any gal, I’m not too thrilled. Except for hopefully some nice presents, turning older is never any fun. And even if I’m [...]



Cute Gym Clothes

By Marlene • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

If you’ve been living in Arizona longer than say, five minutes, it’s pretty safe to say you’ve noticed how gym obsessed everyone is here. Maybe it’s because it’s a West Coast mentality or everyone is just a health freak but personally, I think it’s just because it’s so freaking hot.  What can you wear when [...]



Summer’s Best Wedges

By Marlene • May 15th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Spring and summer footwear calls for two things: some sassy sandals and some super sexy wedges. Whether you call them espadrilles or wedges ( I prefer wedges just cause espadrilles is such a PIA to pronounce) what’s best about them is you get all the height without looking overdone. I mean, what else are you [...]



Phoenix Summer Fashion Finds

By Marlene • May 13th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Today, I just feel like shopping. It’s just one of those days. I know, I pretty much feel like shopping everyday. But today I’m curious what’s new at all my favorite shops. And since it’s so unbelievably hot out (I’m really really not excited for the 100 degree+ temps), at least I have the luxury [...]
