Fall Trend- Biker Chic

By diane • Aug 11th, 2009 • Category: Trend Time

Have you seen Miley C on the previous cover of Elle? And that fab pictorial inside? How about Jen Aniston’s upcoming September cover in leather? I mean really who can’t resist a good biker chic moment in fashion even if it is on a teen queen? This trend is perched firmly at the top of [...]



New at Net-a-Porter

By Marlene • Jul 28th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

I think I was sweating this morning as I went to take Lola out. But the rest of the world is in fall fashion mode, and now that I’m back in the air conditioning, I’m fantasizing about it too.
So, off to Net-a-Porter I went, in search of their latest, greatest fall additions. The site is [...]



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 [...]



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 [...]



Memorial Day Weekend Packing Essentials

By Marlene • May 21st, 2009 • Category: Fashion How-to's

Last week I was bad. I was invited to a daytime pool party that I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make. In fact, it would’ve been a complete surprise since to be honest, I just don’t go to pool parties. I’m not really a fan of outside. Especially in Arizona.
At any [...]



Phillip Lim Swimwear, Lingerie and Shoe Line

By Marlene • May 18th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

Oh yah. That title above is totally true. Can you say “yeah!?!?”
Generally, when I hear there’s Phillip Lim news, I get pretty excited. It’s probably one of my favorite contemporary lines out there. So when I read on The Cut that Phillip Lim has debuted a swimwear line this season and a lingerie line is [...]



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 [...]



Spring 2009 Trend: Florals

By Marlene • Apr 3rd, 2009 • Category: Trend Time

I know, florals for spring….groundbreaking. But hey, at least it’s one trend we can usually count on. To be honest, even though I’m about as girly as they come, I’m not really much of a floral-print kinda gal. For some reason, most dresses remind me of my Grandmother’s curtains, or that crazy Aunt’s couch…you get [...]



Summer Finds

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

Today, I just feel like shopping. It’s bright and sunny out, surprisingly toasty actually, and a perfect day to spend outdoors…in the form of shopping that is.
Today I’m lusting after

These red Fendi bow pumps from Neiman Marcus. I don’t think I could actually pull off a bright red shoe, but if I could this would [...]



Spring 2009 Trend: The Jumpsuit

By Marlene • Feb 24th, 2009 • Category: Trend Time

I definitely wasn’t feeling it for fall, but the jumpsuit has totally grown on me for spring 2009. From romper, capri and long versions to sleeveless and shortsleeved ones, there’s just about any jumpsuit to suit any gal.
The funny thing about the jumpsuit is it started out as such a utilitarian garment. The Phoenix Art [...]
