Socialite Sunday Photo Shoot

If you think being a socialite is nothing but smoke and mirrors, think again. It’s serious business that requires constant self-reflection. For one who aspires to be in the public eye, it is important to always know who you really are. Let’s face it, if I’m planning on becoming a socialite celebrity one day, I need to start making my face more recognizable.  Over the weekend, my neighbor and I did a mini photo shoot in some of our favorite looks by the mirror in her apartment.  It was tons of fun and great practice for being photographed by the paparazzi.  In true NYC style, our photo shoot was followed by brunch.  Above you see me in one of the fab fitted tees from my Aspiring Socialite T-Shirt Line.  Click here to get one of your own.

Who to Aspire to Be and When

I am a strong believer in the complexity of people. It is next to impossible to describe anyone in three words because from second to second we are a million different people. Unlike the average person who lives their life in the norm, socialites and celebrities show their many sides in the public eye. In every aspect of your socialite life, you should be the best of the best.

Here I give you every Aspiring Socialite’s guide to which socialites/celebrities to emulate and in what situation.

On the party scene: Though she is so much more, Paris Hilton is the ultimate party girl who knows how to get photographed at every A-list event.  Instead of cocktails, this heiress likes to down red bulls to keep up her energy late into the night.

When meeting your boyfriend’s parents: Known as America’s Sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon is the potential daughter-in-law every parent dreams about.  In fact, I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t love Reese Witherspoon or doesn’t want to be her best friend.

When launching your line: Kim Kardashian along with the rest of the Kardashian Klan have business ventures worth millions.  Their empire stretches from fashion, to fragrances, to reality TV, magazine covers, and much more.  So when it comes to being a businesswoman, take a hint from the Kardashians.

On an interview: Weather you are on a job interview or being interviewed by the ladies of The View, you need the royal presence and poise of Kate Middleton.  The Duchess of Cambridge may also be a great person to imitate on the catwalk.  Not only is she a fashion icon, but everyone knows she landed her prince while modeling a sheer number in a charity fashion show back at St. Andrews.

Though it is always important to make your own path and not focus on becoming like one person alone, mixing the best qualities of the rich and famous into one can be your one way ticket to high society.

Socialite Stuff: A Passport to Paris

I love jet setting.  I’ve never actually done it, but I know it would be love at first flight. As I spend most of my free time wandering the streets of Manhattan on my long, yet incredibly rewarding journey to socialite fame, I find myself in need of a fragrance to match my Empire State Building-sized aspirations. Inspired by the socialite hot spots of Paris, South Beach, and Tokyo, these fragrances have some of the cutest packaging I have ever seen.  The trio retails individually at $45 for a 3.4 oz. Eau de Toilette and $25 a 1.0-oz bottle.  Thanks to Paris Hilton’s new fragrance, Passport, not only can you look like a socialite, you can smell like one too.

I am 15-years-old in my passport picture and it brings back a lot of memories. Even if I’m not going on a trip, I like to take it out once in a while just to prove to myself that I could get up and leave at a moment’s notice if I wanted to.  What can I say?  I like to travel.  Since I am half Venezuelan, maybe I should call my first fragrance Caracas after the capital city.  After Barbara Walters was mean to her on The View and low ratings on her new reality show, The World According to Paris, Paris Hilton hasn’t had that great week.  So I hope this post brightens up her day a bit.

An Amazing Memorial Day 2011 in Avalon, NJ

Summer is officially here and so far I have had a very socialite summer. I could not have asked for a more beautiful summer excursion at my BFF from first grade’s beach house in Avalon, NJ. Located around 40 minutes from Atlantic City, Avalon is an ideal summer destination on the shores of South Jersey to connect with old friends.  As a Delaware girl gone New Yorker, I am no stranger to the shores of South Jersey and the Delaware beaches including Dewey, Bethany, and Rehoboth Beach/outlets.

Aside from being the home of sunny quiet beaches, Avalon is also home to awesomely overpriced shops such as The Preppy Palm.  Soon I will be off to pick out a hat for polo in the Hamptons.  Is anyone else as much of a fan as I am of how I wrote ‘Aspiring Socialite’ in the sand?  I hope you had an awesome Memorial Day too!

Hats are the New Black


I just came across this awesome T-shirt at Ann Taylor LOFT. I am completely obsessed with the design, especially the beadwork. Once I saw it, I was ready to got the beach. But, what struck me the most about this fun t-shirt design was the hat. Recent events such as the royal wedding and the Kentucky Derby have boosted hats into mainstream fashion just in time for summer. Not only are these once overlooked fashion accessories fun and classy, they are also functional in protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Contrary to popular belief, even those with supermodel style hair can benefit from wearing a hat. That’s what fascinators are for. Watch out society ladies, you may be getting a run for your money this summer when it comes to your signature accessory.

At the Kentucky Derby, the horse race is an afterthought. This socialite studded event that took place last weekend is all about the hats. Inspired by the luxurious and sometimes outlandish looks at the royal wedding, this year’s Kentucky Derby proves that Americans too can have a place in hat history. Get set for polo in the Hamptons this summer because the hats are going to be even crazier. To be honest, I am really just getting the hang of this whole hat craze. Though bigger can be better, that’s not always the case.
