Trend - Patterned Tights

By diane • Oct 21st, 2009 • Category: Fashion How-to's

Recently I have been revisiting one of my personal favorite looks – patterned tights. Of course in the 80’s we just couldn’t get enough, then came the 90’s when it was all about fishnets (the more holes- the better to grunge with). Though nothing can replace my favorite – opaque tights, this season with all [...]

Can you feel the buzz in the air? It’s almost palpable… Barneys is just a mere week away along with Michael Stars, Christian Audigier, Banana Republic, Stash, Love Culture plus tasty new eateries from Fox Concepts own master of taste, Sam Fox and plenty more. Really darling just how much shopping can one [...]



How To - Dress like an A-Lister

By diane • Aug 17th, 2009 • Category: Uncategorized

On a recent shopping excursion I was halted in my tracks by a lovely young sales associate that was all too eager to let me know that they just got in some “hot” skirts very similar to the one I picked that Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian or some other pop culture darling was photographed in. [...]



Over-the-Knee Boots

By Marlene • Jul 22nd, 2009 • Category: Trend Time

I cannot stop thinking about thigh-high boots. They’re definitely a huge trend for fall 2009 and were seen all over the fall runways. Whether you want some in suede, leather, flat or with a great big stiletto, there’s a style to suit pretty much everyone.
Now, the thigh-high boots I’m lusting after are heeled. But, I [...]



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 [...]



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 [...]



Spring/Summer 2009 Trend: Nudes

By Marlene • Jul 6th, 2009 • Category: Trend Time

One of my favorite spring/summer 2009 fashion trends of the season was the return of the nude-tone palette. Seen in dresses, skirts, tops and shoes all over the runway, the barely-there color has become a total smash.
Though the lack of color can be frightening to some, there’s actually a wide range of nude-tones that can [...]



How to Build a Work Wardrobe

By Marlene • Jul 1st, 2009 • Category: Fashion How-to's

After graduating college when I first started working, my wardrobe situation was incredibly frustrating. In fact, I clearly remember not being the only one of my friends who consistently suffered from having absolutely nothing to wear. My closet was filled with clothes mind you, and so was theirs. But the problem was it was filled [...]



Gilt Groupe

By Marlene • Jun 29th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

While Arizona may be stocked with boutiques and high-end stores like Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Barney’s New York (in T-minus 107 days, yay!) we don’t have access to the designer sample sales in LA and New York. The good thing is, just like this other online sample sale retailer I blogged about before, [...]



Neiman Marcus Sale

By Marlene • Jun 22nd, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

If you haven’t yet heard, Neiman Marcus is having a fabulous sale online and at the Scottsdale Fashion Square location. How fabulous do I mean? Think an extra 25% off sale items plus up to 55% off on regularly-priced merchandise. And you can also get free shipping with code NMSUMMER. Now that’s some incentive to [...]
