Brooke grew up in a small town on Cape Cod where she learned the fine art of Abercrombie and Fitch living and 400-meter dash running. You can imagine her relief when she started college at Brown; needless to say she took the jokes about her tattered-jeans based wardrobe in stride. After learning the keen art of success by procrastination, Brooke graduated and landed a job in New York, working for an entertainment lawyer/ entrepreneur. After September 11th she moved back to Providence where she rested on her psychology degree and spent time counseling the not-so-chic side of heroin addicts. Currently Brooke divides her time between practicing law, consulting and writing. She draws inspiration from her amazing and diverse group of friends, her job, and all the great designers she gets to work with on a daily basis. She is currently obsessed with: Aventura, a 10:30 mile, and of course mi sol.

What is an Urban Socialite?

An Urban Socialite is not a socialite in the Paris Hilton sense (thank goodness) or some weird manifestation of the Bergdorf Blond. An Urban Socialite is a girl who has distinguished herself as a trend setter in Urban Style. It’s no secret that the city streets dictate most if not all of fashions latest trends, therefore its better to be known there, than for imitating the style 6 months later for thousands more dollars. An Urban Socialite is someone more likely to follow Paris than the lithe and listless blond of The Simple Life fame; someone driven more by their Inner Bling than the ridiculous Swarovski Crystal craze, but well versed enough to understand all of the above.

Urban Socialite is literally read all over the world!

From delight’s BLOG REVIEW of Urban Socialite:
 

From the site: “Some blogs are, well, just smarter than others. Jazzed up with photos, cartoony artwork, and plenty of color, Urban Socialite is a riot. Though edging out fashion as more of a lifestyle blog, there is plenty to learn here. With so many obsessive shopping sites out there, we find it compelling that the so-called Urban Socialite goes deeper. Blogger B, a Brown graduate from Cape Cod with aspirations of being a student for life, describes the Urban Socialite not as Paris Hilton, but rather as someone “driven more by their Inner Bling than the ridiculous Swarovski Crystal craze.” In this day and age, to find a clever journal of someone who not only reads but describes her subway commute novel of choice and then provides the DIY for a cute book cover to prevent dog eardom is pretty darn….savvy.”

”

You know, it’s the innominate way of being able to admit my total terminal unhipness…virtually…but, feel no need to ever have to concede that, ‘If I can’t find anything nice to wear, I’m just not going!’”
“Not with blogers like The Adventures Of An Urban Socialite around — who I can visit with anytime of the day (even in my pajamas) and share in some blog gossip, while she introduces me to her Designer a la moment and graciously helps me discover my “inner-bling!”"

Now, that’s what I call shopping in style…as well as comfort…perhaps there’s hope for me, yet?”
