New site (finally!) and NaMoDA
Finally!!! 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,...
celebrate your priorities with minoritees
I know you’re probably sick of me posting about how I’m going to fix this site… If only this was my full time job (closing my eyes and dreaming about independent, urban fashion…), I’d be set. My real full time job is wonderful but very very time consuming…. I’m hoping to grt a new phone...
wonhundred reasons to shop
I’m in one of those phases of my life where I can’t begin to explain how over committed I am. On that note, I’ve been working on the layout for the new version of this site (www.urbansocialite.com). For your insatiable desire for the best fashion, I thought I’d leave you with Danish design house Wonhundred....

So much fashion, so little time. My to-do reviews are literally stacking up on my desk… Great clothes, cool jewelry, and of course, my favorite, MAC make-up. By the way, does anyone want some of MAC’s latest collection? I have some fabulous samples just looking for a new home (the trade off is, you have...
Find your outer Kuyichi
Part of me is happy about daylight savings… it means we’re one step closer to spring! An other part of me was pretty displeased when my alarm went off at 6am this morning. Technically, my body still thinks its 5am …which is far too early to wake up. Mornings like this make me wish I...
The never ending search for the perfect bag…
I may have found it. In my never ending search for the perfect bag, I landed on Star 50′s Louisiana Market Sac, I just may never go back. Even my boyfriend couldn’t help but be impressed by this gorgeous, roomy, can’t-live-without-it canvas and leather tote. Not only is this bag fabulous looking and big enough...
Artists for Obama
When is the last time you’ve seen so many different kinds of people galvanizing behind one U.S. politician? Not in my lifetime anyway. As Texas and Ohio grow near and Obama’s campaign contributions have grown to almost one -million individual donors, its easy to see how people are becoming inspired. Take for instance, the Date...
Get refined with Anna C
Although I love posting about great urban designers, I often get frustrated. Lets just say, my job is super formal and there’s no way I could ever get away with wearing some of my favorite designers to work. That’s why Anna Cohen has a special place in my heart. Her gorgeous designs are crisp enough...
Fafi
What do you get when you mix sassy illustrations with the best make-up around? MAC’s hot new collection which just so happens to be a collaboration with designer, Fafi. I’ve always been a fan of Fafi’s graffiti art. Its really cool watching an artist develop and I’m a huge supporter of this exciting “next step”...

You’re an Animal
Monday Monday Monday. I’ve been relaxing all weekend with the understanding that this week is going to be low key… It just so happens that every time I do this, I get slammed with work I either didn’t know about or didn’t see coming. Anyway, enjoy Leananimal! Leanimal is designed by Leanne Marshall, a graduate...
