Nancy’s Gone Green Eco Boutique

Searching for the perfect Mother’s Day gift? Look no further than Mother Earth. Nancy’s Gone Green, founded by a mother-daughter team, is by far my favorite online eco boutique. Founders, Nancy and Mary, took their passion for nature and beauty to the next level by providing the world with affordable luxurious earth-friendly fashions. The website provides both new and vintage clothing, bags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories made with fair labor and eco-friendly practices. The colorful unique designs from all over the world are spring must-haves for mothers, daughters, and kids. I personally have a soft spot in my heart for the Jonano Chloe Tunic Dress and Hannah Naomi’s line of handmade jewelry made with recycled wire and handblown glass.

Aside from showing an everlasting support for my dream of living like a socialite, my mother has always appreciated my sense of style. Therefore, on Mother’s Day, I always give her the gift of fashion by personally picking out clothes for her. Somehow, whatever I pick out seems to look perfect on her. Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom and to mothers everywhere!

My 2010 Christmas List

Inspired by my favorite holiday song, Santa Baby, I decided to completely bling out my pint-sized Christmas tree Tiffany’s style. Though my original plan was to have ornaments for all of the excessive luxury items mentioned in the song, I found it impossible to find ornaments depicting the deed to a platinum mine or a duplex.  Trust me, I spent days looking.  However, I am still very happy with how my tree turned out.  So happy in fact, that it moved me to create a Christmas list of my own.  Seeing that things are probably chaotic up in the North Pole due to the plight of global warming, I also included visual aids and links to where the products can be purchased to ensure accuracy and make it easier for the elves.

Dear Santa,

Since I would never do anything to jeopardize my future husband’s political career, I have been a very good girl this year.

Presenting My 2010 Christmas List:

1. iPad + Wi-Fi 3G: A tech diva always has to have to right accessories. They often includes sleek electronics.  Not only does an iPad go with any outfit, but AT&T’s 3G network gives you an automatic connection to Wi-Fi hotspots which is important for a blogger.

2.  Henri Bendel iPad Case: You are not a socialite until your accessories have accessories.  Therefore, it is vital that my iPad with 3G reside in a designer case.

2.  Burberry Rain Boots with Scarf to Match (Haymarket Check): With the impending royal wedding in Spring of 2011, British designers are going to be hot and I need to be prepared.  I have always been a fan of coordinated plaids. I really need this fashionable combination to get me through the rest of the winter.

4.  Coach Madison Clover Print Medium Wallet: Coach leatherwear has always been a signature of mine.  I really need a new wallet and this one is perfect.  Just be sure to include a matching bag of the same print.

5.  Tory Burch Tumbled Leather Reva Ballerina Flats (Every Color): Since my feet can’t seem to stomach heels on an everyday basis I have turned to flats.  Seeing that I am going to get a lot of use out of them, my new flats should be top of the line.  I also need variety because some days I feel like metallics, others are patent leather days, etc.  I also have a lot of outfits that require many different colors.  By the way, I am a size 7.

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Holiday Shopping at SCOOP NYC

It is time to keep aspiring.  According to the news, a second downturn may soon disrupt our economic recovery.  Fear not socialites because I predict the after Christmas sales this year are going to be better than ever.  Last weekend I raised my glass to the fallen socialites of the last century as I shopped over champagne in the Meatpacking District at SCOOP NYC.  Surrounded by Marc Jacobs bags, designer jeans, and tall couture boots I had a truly iconic shopping experience.  Every digital diva needs the most stylish tech accessories and I am head over heels for this Marc Jacobs computer case complete with pink bows (pictured left.)  As an Aspiring Socialite, I must always seek to entertain and be entertained.  Therefore, the shopping experience is a vital part of my everyday life. At SCOOP, I was reminded of Glee when the NYU A Cappella group, the N’Harmonics, gave an excellent performance at the storefront.  Hoping for a new Marc Jacobs bag in the near future to accessorize the song in my heart.  Happy Shopping!

Polo Ralph Lauren and Lord & Taylor Fight Breast Cancer

LAUREN PINK, a new line of sportswear and home products by Polo Ralph Lauren sold exclusively at Lord & Taylor, with a pre-party for some of NYC’s finest bloggers at their Fifth Ave. store.  A portion of the proceeds from the LAUREN PINK line will go to fight breast cancer. I simply can’t get enough of programs that combine charity with fashion.  In a way, they really go hand-in-hand.  While your style speaks volumes about your personality, the charities that you support are at the essence of your character. At the risk of sounding corny, the LAUREN PINK line of plush hoodies, sweaters, and blankets will bring warmth and comfort in more ways than one.  On top of introducing the LAUREN PINK line, Lord & Taylor donated $5 to the Pink Pony Fund for everyone who showed up to the event wearing pink, they donated another $5 for everyone who checked in on FourSquare (I need to get on that,) and yet another $5 for everyone who completed the World of Lauren trivia game.  Hats off to Polo Ralph Lauren and Lord & Taylor for supporting this cause in such a creative way!

Lord and Taylor‘s new state of the art cosmetics department has finally opened!  Makeup maven Bobbi Brown and her beauty team will be making an appearance at Lord and Taylor on Fifth Ave. Thursday September 23.  Bobbi will be in the store signing copies of her new book Beauty Rules from noon to 2 p.m.  Her beauty team will be there until 7 p.m. giving makeovers and consultations.  Please make an appointment with the Bobbi Brown counter before arriving.
