Tempted to Touch
Brrr!! I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of winter! At least we have the superbowl to look forward to this weekend! Instead of focusing on one designer, I thought I’d tell you about a cool site called Touch. Touch collaborates with some of the most unique emerging designers around. Their aim is to...
Urban Socialite Loves Nicacelly!
I’ve had so many great site suggestions lately! (For those who have sent them in, I’m still weeding my way through December e-mails so I should be getting to all of them sometime soon). Nicacelly is one of the most unique urban designers I’ve featured on this site. I adore her line!! Her clothes are...
The best collections come in small collections!
One of my moms favorite expressions is, “the best things come in small packages.” In this case, one of the best collections I’ve seen in a long time, comes in a small collection. Designer Alyson Fox takes eco-couture to the next level in her highly wearable collection. She uses sustainable fabric, no zippers, organic elastic,...
Mind Mixer
I adore fashion designer, environmentalist and author Ma Ke and I’m quite certain you will too. A friend of a friend recommended her and I have to say the moment I clicked on her site I was hooked. One of China’s brightest young designers, Ma Ke delights with flowy fabrics, clean lines, and comfortable feel....
H2..Oh!
I’m sitting here trying to write something poignant, but my mind is kind of numb. I think its the mix of post-Patriots buzz and the impending stack of work I have waiting on my desk tomorrow. Since I know I’ll be in a hurry in the AM, I thought I’d leave you with something now...
It’s a curious thing…
Life is full of curiosities: chance encounters on the subway, meeting someone for the first time and feeling like you’ve known them forever, or random events that lead to an epiphany. These curiosities always emerge (simply emerge, for those who get the joke) when I think I have everything figured out. I’ll be headed down...
You can thank Chloe
As soon as Chloe sent me a link to this site, I considered keeping it myself. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen such a great collection of vintage fashion! I kind of wanted to keep it under wraps, at least until I ordered what I wanted (specifically, I’ll be very upset if any...
AT… L
This week has truly been a roller coaster. A week of reconnecting with old inspirations, taking on new responsibilities and true vindication. Plus, have you ever had a pile of things on your desk so high that you literally can’t see over it when you sit down? Needless to say, I’m looking forward to this...
If you steal my sunshine…
We’re supposed to have some kind of record temperatures today… 60 degrees in the middle of January! Though I’m excited about the idea of not wearing hosiery, such occurrences certainly bring the issue of global warming to the forefront. That’s why its always great to find designers who make clothes in a socially and environmentally...
Just Battee
The next few weeks are going to be crazy!! Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend. I have several thoughts about the past couple days that I hope to share with you this afternoon. Until then, enjoy Sacrick Marico Battee… a fabulous designer who’s very excited to share his line with Urban Socialite readers!...
Bona Drag
Somehow, I thought that during the week or so I took off from work I’d be able to accomplish all sorts of things… revamping the website, writing chapters of my novel, taking my cat to the vet, etc. etc. Unfortunately I’ve only made a small dent in my various obligations. The rest of this week...
