Update on Barney's Arrival in Scottsdale

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 17:36:00 +0000

I was in Scottsdale last week and confirmed that there is a space in which Barney's is being built right across from the Scottsdale Fashion Mall...a fashion insider (the Jessica Bennett shoe rep) also told me he heard that Barney's has received funding for the company---so they are back in the works again! Exciting news I have to say! And also, just another bit of research that confirms that Barney's is in fact making its way to AZ, slowly but surely is that there are job postings online for positions at the AMAZING Barneys New York...so apply or just be excited about shopping your heart away:)

Don't Miss Out: AZ Spa Week

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:02:00 +0000

There are somethings you just can't miss out on and this is one of them! When I read about this, I thought of Restaurant week in New York---which, I have to say, Arizona also has a Restaurant week that I heard is AMAZING! Well, who can miss out on Spa week for top location in the states to go for spa's? The cool part is even though you are getting a discounted rate, you should still plan to be there all day so you can take advantage of the pool, sauna and everything else you would expect at a spa resort! Go to spaweek.com to find out who is offering what now!

When: April 13-19 (start making appointments now!)

Where: Too many spas to list...you have to check it out and find your dream spa that you have always wanted to go to and have you chance for full bliss:)

Fashion Exhibit in AZ

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:31:00 +0000

There is so much fashion to find in AZ...you just have to know where to look. The Phoenix Art Museum always has exceptional art exhibits with a focus in fashion every year. Right now, the museum has the Medievalism: Fashion's Roman with the Middle Ages....it looks like these pieces are pretty modern...so, it will be a fun take on what you can be inspired to wear now. The exhibit ends July 5, so you still have time to make a date with The Phoenix Art Museum:) I plan on wearing my goth inspired shoes that have been rocking the fashion flock the past season:) They seem pretty appropriate:)

These sound fun to attend too:

Lectures & Talks
Fashion in the Middle Ages? March 31, 7pm
Reforming Women’s Fashion, May 5, 7pm
Revisiting Details of History, March 3, 7pm
Day Dress, April 7, 14, 21 & 28, 11:30am

Fashion Shows To Attend this Spring

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:18:00 +0000

I was just in Phoenix this past weekend and fell in love with a boutique called, Fleurt! They have fab designer pieces to items that the owner has created...my friend purchased a hat with Greenbay designs for her hubby's games:) Turned out very cute! Well, the boutique will be having a fashion show at Valley Ho (I have been to this hotel for a fashion show last year and it was AMAZING!) on May 8th. Make sure to get on the list, so many people show up!

Another show I just got an email about:

Don't Forget to Go to Forever 21 @ Tucson Mall Tomorrow!

Grand Store Opening: The Largest Forever 21 in Tucson

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 03:56:00 +0000

The Grand opening of the new Forever 21 location at Tucson Mall is on Saturday, March 20th and worth checking out because the first 300 people to walk through the doors will receive a gift card! I wish I could go! This is going to be a grand location. It is in the old Mervyn's location, so that is a lot of space! With the way the economy is looking right now, there is no going wrong with the prices you will get in this store! Have fun!

Sad News

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:33:00 +0000

H&M will not be coming to Scottsdale this spring anymore...the date has been pushed back to the fall..most likely due to the economy...as soon as I receive an update, I will share with everyone...so, head out to get the Matthew Williamson pieces in April!

I am Back!!!!

It's been a while, but I will start to update with fashion tidbits for the Tucson area again:)

SEPHORA

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:23:00 +0000

Just like Nordstrom, I think that is all I have to say in a title letting you know that SEPHORA is finally coming to town! And, actually, is already in town. In the JC Penny at Park Place, where the new and improved Forever 21 (that I am going to today) there is now a SEPHORA! Yes, fashionista's, JC Penny and SEPHORA are partners. But, beyond that, we will also be getting a free standing SEPHORA at Tucson Mall very soon! Both Tucson Mall and Park Place Mall (which now has a COACH store) are transforming drastically. We might actually have places to shop besides La Encantada (which I have to share that J. Crew is having a fab sale right now and students get an extra 15% off already reduced prices!)....so, maybe there is hope for a Nordstrom...let's cross our fashion fingers:)

I just ordered all of these products I have been needing for a while and now, I won't have to...isn't that fab!?

Fashion Meet Up

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:21:00 +0000

Fashion Show

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:05:00 +0000

Check this out...it is not only for a great cause (and the first event for the local non-profit), but, our very own Philip Manus, will be presenting his designs. Manus has been featured in Oro Valley Marana and has auditioned for Project Runway. His designs are AMAZING! I want a couple of his pieces and would wear them in New York or LA and I know I would be stopped! So, attend the fashion show and enjoy all of Philip Manus' designs.

I have been so MIA, but there is so much coming up, I have to share!

Channel 12 attended a fashion show that I worked on backstage at Dinnerware's Art Gallery on Broadway and has a great amount of footage from the show if you missed it and a few shots of moi:) Also, I just found out that on the last Saturday of each month, there is a great downtown event that everyone should try attending at least once for food, boutiques open late as well as art spaces open for viewing galleries and participating in a new style of art.

Getaway Locally

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:17:00 +0000

Why have to get away for a BIG BUCK this summer? Save your plane ticket and travel only a couple of miles to save your gas with one of these options:

In Town:

The Hotel Congress had discount specials for locals this summer for weekends at the Hotel to enjoy everything from the Cup and also tasty drinks at the bar. What more can you want? The rooms are authentic and look like what they might have looked like years ago.

A little Drive:

Hacienda Coronada, a bed and breakfast in the desert...a location that was updated and kept the old glamor of the location. Each room has its own distinct feature and styling. This is a romantic getaway near wineries or just stay, relax and enjoy the stars and nature surroundings.

A train ride away:

The most romantic way to travel, the train...and what better way to do it than with wine? Verde Canyon Railroad brings you that and more with their many packages. After you take the day riding on the train and enjoying wine complete you day at Jerome Hotel...a location you would never expect out in the desert...

Summer Style: Arizona Vs. Everywhere Else

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 04:36:00 +0000

I read an article in the August issue of Lucky magazine comparing LA style vs. NYC style...Since everyone seems to think LA and NYC are the only places that have style...I figured I would share what we, in Arizona wear.

As we all know, it is scorching HOT out here, so we need to keep cool, it seems all year-long. Summer essentials:

Mini Dresses

*Anything that breathes

Fabrics: Natural Cotton and Linen

Shoes:

Sandals, flats or heels, we drive everywhere...can we say air conditioning?

Skirts--(from Forever 21...it's not about cost...no need to put all of your money into all the pieces for this summer)

Shorts--(from shopbop)there are such a wide range of styles out there right now, high waist shorts, wide leg shorts, longer loose styles...etc...you are not only left with the super short, shorts...they are styles for every shape and that can be worn with more than just flip flops...if done the correct way, you can pair heels with shorts and look very chic.
