True Blood Teams Up With Tarte Cosmetics for a Vamp Look

Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is not exactly a socialite, but she is so much more than a waitress.  In fact, she is a fairy with mind reading powers whose blood gives the undead the ability to walk in sunlight.  I may be a vegetarian, but True Blood had me hooked at first taste.  The socialite world is filled with contradictions.  So why can’t goths be glam?  After all, vampires have to have a certain amount of allure to seduce their prey, especially if they are competing with werewolves in the middle of nowhere Louisiana.

Therefore, every Aspiring Socialite looking to take a bite out of high society should try True Blood‘s new red-hot makeup collection created in partnership with tarte cosmetics.  This limited edition line includes Tarte’s LipSurgence lip tint in a blood red ($24), a natural cheek stain ($30) and an eye shadow palette with 17 shades ($52.)  There products were handpicked by the show’s Emmy award-winning makeup artist, Brigette Myre-Ellis.  All tarte cosmetics are cruelty free, therefore, no humans were harmed in their making.  Seeing that I am already pale and a huge fan of the show, I fully embrace this makeup trend.  For those of you intent on getting the attention of America’s most eligible vampire, Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard,) the line is currently available at Sephora both in stores and online.

Retro-Inspired Swimwear for Your Next Poolside Bash

Over the summer on the east coast and all year round in L.A, socialites get their share of invites to awesome A-list pool parties. Since these fun events will most likely involve swimming, aside from swimsuit and beach cover-ups, not many clothing options are available to these events. Water may keep you from bringing your cell phone near the pool/party area, but it won’t deter the paparazzi whatsoever. Therefore, you need to be both pool and photo ready.

Retro-inspired swimwear is a great wear to show style both on land and under the water. Combine this look with a floppy hat and a retro hairstyle and you have a photo ready summer look. When you are going for a retro look, remember that less is more. Focus more on the “inspired” than the “retro” part of “retro-inspired.” You still want to look like you are living in 2011, just with a flare of the styles worn by the socialites of the past decades.

All Access Accessory: The Magical World of Breil Jewelry


The magic behind being an Aspiring Socialite is to believe that anything is possible. My newest obsession is this revolutionary stainless steel collection by Breil.  Every piece can be worn in a number of ways so buying one is like buying many.  Pendants magically turn into long multi-layered chains and charm bracelets become necklaces within seconds.  Though Breil also has a famous line of high-end luxury watches, nothing in this collection retails for over $140.

With the social scene constantly evolving, a socialite’s jewelry must do the same. Objects that sparkle always seem magical, only with this collection they actually are.  Wearing any of these pieces to a cocktail party is guaranteed to make you the center of attention as you wow the party with your jewelry magic tricks.  Plus, they are the perfect accessory to wear with the classic little black dress.

Help Me Find “Harvard Hottie”

I don’t secretly work as a nanny to a family of mean rich people on Park Ave. or anything like Scarlett Johansson in The Nanny Diaries, but I think I just met my Harvard Hottie. Well, I sort of met him. Today, on my way home from work somewhere in between Port Authority and the Theater District, I passed a blue-eyed brown-haired guy wearing a white Harvard T-shirt. I looked at him and he looked back at me at the same moment. Then there on one of the most highly congested New York City street corners, we made eye contact for a second time.

By the second time, I knew he was just as interested in seeing me again as I was in seeing him.  As I turned the corner and crossed the street, we both looked over our shoulders once more to glance at one another.  I wish I would have said something to him.  “Hi” or “Hello I’m Vicky” would have been sufficient and could have very well resulted in dinner Friday night.  I know this totally sounds like one of those creepy Craig’s List rants, but I’m serious. Please help me find my Harvard Hottie!!  If you know a hot guy fitting this description who owns a white Harvard T-shirt with crimson lettering who passed a girl wearing a black ruffled Cynthia Rowley dress with a pink tank top under it, kindly let me know immediately.

Bad Teacher Good Socialite

Ever since My Best Friend’s Wedding, I have been a huge fan of Cameron Diaz.  Last night I attended a screening of Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Segal.  Yes, I know it doesn’t come out until Friday, but as a semi-famous socialite, I got to see it before everyone else.  The movie was hilarious.  It’s a great summer evening flick to go see and be thankful that you are no longer in 7th grade because chances are it sucked.

Though I don’t think I could ever be a teacher, I do hope to be invited to the next local high school career day to speak to the kids about the joys of pursuing a career as a socialite.  We always tell the kids to live their dreams, therefore, Aspiring Socialites such as myself truly have a lot to offer the youth of America. I am sure that I will make Cameron Diaz’s character proud on my future fateful trip to career day.  Like any great public figure, I take my role as a role model very seriously.  On another note, I really need to find out who Cameron Diaz’s trainer is and what kind of a diet she is on because she looks amazing in this movie.
