07.09.08Isn’t Science Beautiful?Ah my last day of vacation freedom has come and gone. I spent most of my day yesterday walking around my new neighborhood. I rediscovered (have I told you that I lived here before?) my favorite little grocery shop, bought a yummy bottle of wine at this adorable little wine shop, worked out at the gym and learned a little bit about spontaneous celebrations. You'd think all that walking around would have killed my feet, especially since I was wearing an adorable pair of heeled sandals. No so with my latest shoe obsession, Asgi! Asgi is a new shoe company that ...

07.02.08Sowing the S.E.A.D.S of Style**Yeah, that's a not so subtle reference to Tears for Fears and their creepy music video. I'm totally going to have that song stuck in my head all day. Anyway, before I leave I wanted to let you know about the Sustainable Collective. Why? Because I love clothes with a concept that stretches beyond, "I paid hundreds of dollars for this shirt." The Sustainable Collective is a collective vision of eco and social change. Their goal? Planting seeds to create something bigger for all. They call their mission S.E.A.D.S which stands for: Sustainable (their fabrics, dyes, labels and ...

05.15.08Creature of HabitThese came out a while ago and despite the fact I know they're ridiculous, a tiny part of cringes every time one of the select shops that carries them sells out. Creature Hoodies are the brain child of Belgium born and US raised Patrick York Ma. He currently resides in the Bay (have I mentioned how much I love the Bay?) where he works in his studio on a variety of projects, from sculpture and digital photography to furniture, apparel, and product design. His site, Rocket World (fun, though a bit confusing to navigate at times) is home to several ...

04.27.08Nak Nak (It’s Naketano’s New Spring/Summer Collection)I've written about Naketano in the past because I absolutely love the brand. I wear my Lari Grey Multi all the time... it's seriously the most comfortable sweatshirt ever (plus I always get tons of compliments whenever I wear it). Anyway, Christina and Jozo are always great about updating us with their latest collections. This time they wanted you to be the first to know about their their new spring/summer collection (I got the e-mail a while ago, sorry I'm just posting about it now!) Anyway, I'm sure you're going to adore their new line as much as I do. ...

04.24.08Lasso yourself a Lalesso!Lalesso is a brand I fell in love with a while back and I thought today would be a perfect day to share this wonderful Kenyan clothing line with you! Lalesso was created by Alice and Olivia who met while studying fashion design in Cape Town. The pair traveled to Olivia's home country of Kenya over a holiday where they were inspired by the beautiful "khanga" or "lesso" which prompted the creation of their trademark Lesso skirt. The 'lesso' is actually a spotted handkerchief brough to the East African Coast in the 19th century from India. Kenyan and Tanzanian manufactures loved the ...

04.21.08Urban Socialite Loves T-Post!!I'm always looking for cool t-shirt companies and this one might be my favorite so far. T-Post is a Swedish based design company with a truly creative idea. It's a subscription based t-shirt company... kinda like subscribing to a magazine, but instead of getting pages and pages of waste that will eventually find their way into the trash, you get an awesome t-shirt in the mail every six-weeks. Every shirt is based on a news item (they hand pick stories of importance that may or may not be in the mainstream media) and each comes with a colorful graphic and ...

04.01.08Planet LuLu*sI'm not much of a shoe person... but I almost fell out of my chair when I saw these adorable heels from Naugthy Monkey. The best part? They're under $100! The floral tunic? Under $40! Both items are from the same place and, I'm not gonna lie, part of me wants to keep this on-line boutique to myself. I love going out in something no one else has and looking like I spent tons of money on it... especially when it was great deal (remember, I'm subsisting on a "public interest" salary here). But, in light of Ali's suggestion that ...

03.30.08New site (finally!) and NaMoDAFinally!!! All signs (or should I say, sites) point to UrbanSocialite.com! Thanks to my creative internet guru, Langston (I'm still not sure I know what an FTP client is, but I'm learning....) and site design by Sadish, I'm finally up and running again! This site has been a work in progress. Through law school, the bar, and now a real-world career, my love of fashion has remained, so I'm happy this site is finally where I want it to be! Ok, ok, enough with the sentimental stuff, I know why you're here so here you go: I came across NaMoDA last ...
