The Broke Socialite Does…Pinterest!

“Hello. My name is The Broke Socialite and I, in fact, am addicted to Pinterest.”  Are you? It’s been a few months since I received one of the much coveted invitations to create my very own virtual inspiration boards that are related to style, food and wine, products that I love and more.

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*).

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 [...]
