Grovel for Gravel
For whatever reason I could NOT sleep last night… I always get a little cabid-feversih this time of year…. Hence the 2am phone conversations/ emails about capitalism, physics and the American Dream… Anyway, I’m ready to pack my pink and green suitcase and jet off somewhere without explanation. One place that’s always fun to...
Jammin’
Finally! The weekend! I still have very mixed feelings about Urban Outfitters, so I was reluctant to write about these earphones (U.O. was the only place I could find them!)– but they’re just so hot! These rich, decadent oversized DJ headphones are designed by Boosted and are the ultimate upgrade for your personal sound system....
Good in Bed/ Waffo maniac
Yesterday was one of those days where I literally couldn’t do or say anything right. The worst part was, as I knew I was messing up as I was doing it, but I still couldn’t help myself. It was like “word vomit” from the movie Mean Girls. The day dragged and dragged and by...
Obama-Oakland Style
I was definitely right about this week… its been crazy. Its only Wednesday and I already have dreams of throwing on one of my favorite t-shirts, a pair of sweats and relaxing all weekend (for the first time in a long time I only have one event planned!!). If you’re lacking the “favorite t-shirt”...
Planet LuLu*s
I’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...
Covet this

Covet is a Montreal based design house that has mastered the fusion and balance between high fashion and real world comfort.

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....
Wanted: Sublet
WANTED: Cool, comfortable clothes, socially conscious designers, and a great story. To find? Look no further than Sublet Clothing, a great New York clothing company with close ties to the environment, the community… and of all things, Craigslist! After responding to a Craigslist sublet posting during college, Inessah found herself dragging two suitcases up three...

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...
