The Broke Socialite Featured On Rene Syler’s G.E.M. (Good Enough Mother) Blog

Image: Good Enough Mother Blog A little over a year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Rene Syler.  You’ll likely remember her name from her stint as one of the lead anchors on CBS’ The Early Show.  She and I hit it off almost immediately and have been joined at the virtual hip; she’s stuck with me now!

Maxi Skirts: The Broke Socialite’s Alternative To Jeans This Spring/Summer

Alice + Olivia Maxi Skirt *waves* Don’t be mad. Soooo much going on but hey!….I’m here today. Speaking of being busy, I’ve really spent a lot of time assessing my warm weather wardrobe since, well, Spring 2012 arrived in the midst of Winter 2012.  I’m almost afraid to change out the closets because Daddy TBS SWEARS we’re going to get [...]

The Broke Socialite Updates

I know, I know….it’s been a while and, if it counts for anything, I TOTALLY miss you all. Where shall I start? Maybe with “Happy New Year!”? Ha.

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.

The Broke Socialite Recalibrates…Again…*SIGH*

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

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 [...]
