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. To say that I’m an addict is [...]

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 [...]

Baubles, Baubles and More Baubles!

I have a problem, y’all. *inching a bit closer to you* I’ve never met a big, fat, ostentatious, chunky necklace that is affordable (and doesn’t look cheap) that I could turn down.  The bulkier the better and, in fact, I’d say that fabulous baubles have become a part of my signature look. For the past few years, I’ve been trying [...]

A TBS Primer: A Halloween Soiree On A Budget for the Chic, Fabulous and Us Procrastinators

I usually do little more for Halloween than try to evade the candy-grubbing kids in our neighborhood—all six of them! Hey, why should I buy a monstrous bag of candy for only six kids? I’d rather pretend that I’m not home. Furthermore, since The Boy is off at college (Go SMU Mustangs!), the fun for me has almost been vacuumed [...]

The Broke Socialite’s Guide Primer To The Perfect Social Networking Meet-Up/Conference Wardrobe

 LolaHaze featuring Cheap Monday jeans One of the things that I love about being a social media maven(ha!) blogger is the opportunity to attend some absolutely fabulous meet-ups and conferences.  As social networkers, so much of our time is spent in front of a computer/on a smartphone that even the mere mention of looming events where you must engage with ACTUAL PEOPLE (*clutching my virtual pearls*) can throw you into [...]
