By Marlene • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Trend Time

Summer is staring me square in the face and there’s still some things to add to this season’s wardrobe I haven’t snapped up yet. And just like any season, I’ll probably fall short by a few. But in case you’re looking to complete your 2009 summer must-haves list, here’s what I’d be snapping up this [...]



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, [...]



Macy’s Scottsdale Fashion Square Shoe Sale

By Marlene • Jun 26th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

So, I’ve got the dress (it’s not amazing but it’ll do) and now I have no shoes. It’s unfortunate how you can own about 100 million pair and for some reason not have the ones that would be just right. Fortunately for me, Macy’s at Scottsdale Fashion Square is having a sale on shoes this [...]



Dillard’s Scottsdale Fashion Square

By Marlene • Jun 24th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

On the ever-present hunt for my birthday dress, I stopped into Dillard’s at Scottsdale Fashion Square yesterday and boy was I surprised! I had heard awhile back that Dillard’s was trying to “freshen up” its image by buying new contemporary lines that are trendy and modern. I’d also heard that the Dillard’s at Scottsdale Fashion [...]

Torneau Sale at Scottsdale Fashion Square

By Marlene • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

I’ve always been somewhat of a firm believer that men are to watches like women are to shoes. Well, purses actually. They become obsessed with them, they can get ridiculously expensive but it’s O.K. to own several of them for all your different outfits. After all, it’d be silly not to admit men are a [...]



How to Build a Wardrobe-Part 2

By Marlene • Jun 8th, 2009 • Category: Fashion How-to's

If you read last week’s edition on How to Build a Wardrobe and actually implemented the ideas, it’s time for Step 2! Trust me, it’s much easier if you start that way before moving on to the rest. Depending on the pie chart of your life you made in Part 1 (you did make one [...]
