  Don’t Judge Me! Bags | (2)

  Independence day weekend has several meanings for me this year... tomorrow, of course, being the big move in day. I love the area I'm moving to. Jamaica Plain is like this little artsy section of Boston. One thing that's become strikingly obvious over the past few days is that I'm not a good mover. For instance, I don't really know how to pack and I haven't quite figured out the whole utility situation (hopefully there's wireless somewhere or else you're gonna have to wait a couple days for a post!) I'm semi-hoping I can just stand there and look ...

  Extra! Extra! Bags, Eco-Couture | (0)

  Can you believe it's almost July? This summer is zipping by way too fast. Anyway, I'm running late as usual. Time to grab my morning paper and bounce.... Speaking of the morning paper, what better way to carry it, than in a bag made from 100% recycled morning papers (and candy wrappers and other recycled paper goods)? That's the concept behind Ecoist's sleek and stylish Slim Portfolio, a uniquely styled handbag that was a finalist at the Independent Handbag Awards. These great bags are strong, waterproof (I know you were wondering), and made fairly in ...

  The Early Bird… Gets the Wallet Bags | (1)

  I've been a little scattered the past few months. So scattered in fact, that I've been neglecting one of my favorite spring rituals: transferring the contents from my black winter wallet to one of my cute, colorful summer wallets! Right now I've opted for Karen Callan's amazing "medium" sized wallet with a fun alligator ornament. Not only is the wallet a perfect size, it literally holds everything. More than meets the eye, so to speak! I also got tons of cool stuff from MAC the other day. Their Volcanic Ash Exfoliator is definitely my new obsession. In case you didn't know, ...

  FAKE Bag Obsession Bags, Eco-Couture, Fashion, Ponder this... | (4)

  How many times I have I rolled my eyes and ranted on this site about fake bags. Especially fake Louis. I won't bore you with a repeat-rant . . . however I will say every time I see someone carrying a fake I want to tell them nicely, "We all know its a fake. We're not impressed." I'm not suggesting you should have a closet full of the real thing (I actually don't think I own any Louis, now that I think about it), I'm just saying, buy what you can afford, rock your own style, and for heaven's sake ...

  It’s My Party (No Tears, I Promise) Bags | (0)

  I'm sooo excited about this up-coming long weekend. I'm definitely heading to the Cape for some rest and relaxation . . . I may even head back to Brown for good old fashioned reunion! In the meantime, I have to make it through these next two days (which, as I look at my calender, may not be such a easy task). Anyway, today I thought I'd write about designer Corrina Paterno's handbag line, cutely named "One Girl's Party." Corrina started her design career working for a theater company as a set and costume designer. She also spent fifteen years doing ...

  Utt-erly Amazing Bags, Dresses/ Party, Eco-Couture, Fashion | (0)

  For those of you who have been commenting, I finally fixed the comments box so it fits my template. I've been teaching myself CSS which is actually more intuitive than HTML, but the comments box thing really threw me for a loop. Anyway its all fixed, so comment away! I actually have the day off because my crazy (and I mean that in the endearing sense) friend from college is getting married. She's the one in the "about" section who has climbed Mt. Everest several times. She loooves Nepal and it's only fitting that I post about a great online boutique, ...

  A Vita Green Bags, Dresses/ Party, Eco-Couture, Fashion, Streetwear | (2)

  In the spirit of all things good for the planet and all things fun to wear, I felt compelled to introduce you LA-based fashion designer Amanda Shi and her creative label, Avita. She developed the name Avita from the Italian word "vita," meaning life. And it is obvious that her vision encompasses not only the richness that clothing brings to our lives, but in the case of eco friendly apparel – “vita” means making our planet a better place to live. Her aesthetic designs blend classic with contemporary touches, and include sweaters, tanks, dresses and a variety of sheer over-lays with bold ...

  Win!! Win!! Win!! Bags | (44)

  Yikes!!! I almost forgot (because I'm running around like a crazy person). Star 50 handbags has been kind enough to offer you the chance to win one of their amazing purses! All you have to do it win is: Email moi, brooke@urbansocialite.com, and tell me a cool, personalized fact about the state you live in. For instance, I love Massachusetts because I love to play hockey on the frozen cranberry bogs in the winter.. or something more creative than that. That's it! The contest will run for about a week. I have posted about Star50 a couple times (the perfect bag ...
