To say that I’m an addict is [...]

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 [...]

  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 [...]
