    Plie. Eleve. Ballet Flats.

    Mr TBS says that if I never acquire another pair of ballet flats, it will be too soon. I do admit that I’ve the rainbow coalition of flats: black, brown, pony hair, pointed toes, round toes, Tory Burch Revas, Target Mossimos. And speaking of Tar-zhay, while everyone are waiting and anticipating the arrival of the Missoni line, I am reveling [...]

    The Broke Socialite Recalibrates…Again…*SIGH*

    Hi Everyone! I know…I know…it’s been a while.  Honestly, I’ve been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.  I’ve REALLY missed blogging and am trying to figure how I can STILL maintain a presence; after all, the blog was my first love and it serves as a foundation for EVERYTHING that I’ve been able to accomplish including lavish!, [...]

    The Latest Deal From The Broke Socialite: Help Me Accessorize!

    This weekend, I’ll be enjoying an outdoor concert with the most delightful group of girlfriends, including bloggers My Brown Baby and True Southern Elegance.  We’ve been anticipating this outing for a couple of months now and we could not be more excited.  As I am addicted to most any  maxi dress that’s actually long enough (remember: I’m nearly 6 feet [...]

    I Miss Oprah!

    …and that is all. Do y’all?  My DVR is a tad lighter and my 4 PM each weekday is empty without Aunt Oprah.  She’s promised us that she’s working on dynamic programming at OWN and I can’t wait to hear what’s up her sleeves (and how about that L’Wren Scott dress that she wore on the last show? *faints*). While [...]

    The Help: The Broke Socialite’s Reflections

      Last week, I was invited to an advance screening of the much anticipated movie, The Help, (surely you’ve heard of it…unless you’ve been under a boulder, that is) which was based on the novel with the same name.  I have been a fan of the author, Kathryn Stockett and the book since I read it.  I’ve told anyone who [...]

    OB-SESSED With Summer Bebidas

    Over the summer while I have NOT been blogging (*pops own hand*), I’ve become a pseudo mixologist. There are so many fantastic cocktails and who am I not to offer of my taste buds. I LOVE searching the internet for new ideas. I must admit that Saveur has been one of my go-to spots for concoctions to help me survive [...]

    I’m Baaaaaaaccccckkkk!

      So what do you think? Have you looked around here a bit?  Cool, right? Well, let me tell you. I surely have missed everyone over the past 5 months. My respite from blogging was absolutely, positively necessary. I KNOW that I am stepping back into THIS space more rested (bloggers need downtime, too, you know?) and with a much [...]

    Blackberry Highlights Food Bloggers

    I was watching the pilot for The Chicago Code last night when a Blackberry App World commercial ad.  Never have I seen such an influential brand highlight the importance/reality of blogging.  Take a gander at the clip below. I must say that it gave me chills. Don’t get me wrong…I think these “food bloggers” are supposed to be Every Blogger. [...]
