Bag it, Tag it (yes, that’s a Phish reference…)
I SERIOUSLY need a vacation. Anyway, I’m running around like a crazy person today. On days like this, I’m always grateful for an amazing bag. You know, the kind that can be stuffed with: case-files, a change of clothes, make-up, that amazing book you’re reading, iPod, phone, wallet…. For that reason, I thought I’d write...
Don’t Quit Your Day Job… and bag your lunch while you’re at it.
Kim the Quilter wants to change the way people look at quilts and the people who make them. I personally love quilts (my mom has a huge collection back on the Cape)– but I must admit they don’t always fit with my decor. With that in mind, Kim of Don’t Quit Your Day Job, has...
Don’t Judge Me!
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...
Extra! Extra!
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...
The Early Bird… Gets the Wallet
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....
FAKE Bag Obsession
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...
It’s My Party (No Tears, I Promise)
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...
Utt-erly Amazing
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...
A Vita Green
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...
Win!! Win!! Win!!
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....
Here’s a Little Story, About Jack and Marjorie…
I love it when designers take unusual, discarded things and make them beautiful. Its like true artists can find the beauty in anything. Take for instance, jack & marjorie. jack & marjorie uses military surplus materials like wool blankets, ground sheets, parachutes and webbing, and combines them with more feminine elements including vintage lace, silk,...
Golf Fore the Urban Socialite
One of my favorite things about summer, besides the fact Boston actually thaws a bit, (and besides the beach, of course), is golf season. If you’ve never tried the sport before, you should. Every urban socialite should know how to golf! Its fun, stress relieving, and and great excuse to spend half a day outside....
