Fabulous Broke Girl Contest by Young, Fabulous & Broke

Though sometimes I get mistaken for an actual socialite, I’m actually broke. For broke people, entering contests to win free stuff is a great way to supplement your undesirable income.  The quintessential L.A. brand Young, Fabulous & Broke is currently doing a ‘Fabulous Broke Girl Contest’ on their Facebook page where fans can submit a short video of their best broke girl story.  As instructed by YFB, “Stories should sound like the time you couldn’t pay your rent and ended up sleeping on your friends couch because you bought Chanel boots. Or maybe even the time you could only afford the 99 cent store so you’d park your Porsche in the back so no one would see you.”  It’s really funny and a great way to win a $500 shopping spree.  But, you need to get your video in fast!  The contest ends this Saturday December 11th at 11:00 a.m. EST and then voting begins.  Only persons residing in United States who are at least 18 years of age can enter.  If I don’t win, I hope that one of you do.

I’m so behind on my video.  But, I promise it will be coming soon.

Here’s a little preview of my 100% true broke girl story: Once I was chatting with this guy in a bar who’d bought me a few drinks.  When it was time for me to go home, he asked how I was getting home.  When I said I was walking he immediately reached into his wallet and handed me $20.  I decided to walk home anyway and used the money for groceries.  Now when I go out, I always look to collect cab fare.

French Connection Inspiration & Mystery

French Connection U.S. has teamed up with Warner Bros. Pictures to promote the studio’s upcoming release of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Beginning on November 7th, all French Connection U.S. retail locations will display Sherlock Holmes-inspired looks in store windows as homage to the film and the brand’s British roots. Who knew that French Connection is actually a British company? But, El Corte Inglés (The English Cut) is Spanish so I guess it makes sense.

You can also enter a sweepstakes starting on November 7th within retail stores for a chance to win a free trip to NYC to partake in a private screening of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows before it is released in theatres on December 16th. If you can’t make it to a store, entry into the sweepstakes is also available to consumers through French Connection’s ecommerce site. I saw the first Sherlock Holmes film in theaters and left having no idea what went on in the entire film. But, what’s fashion without a little mystery?

Shop on Socialites!

Enter to Win Your Own Birchbox!

Socialites haven’t been known to skimp on anything, especially not cosmetics. Until now, only your makeup artist could tell you which beauty products were worth the investment. As an online influencer/semi-New York City Socialite, I am constantly getting samples of the newest products.  I used to think it was impossible to sample everything, but I was wrong.  For $10 a month, you can get a Birchbox sent to you containing samples of some of the most high end cosmetic, beauty, and personal care products.  Every month even has a different theme.  It’s kind of like sending yourself a gift once a month, only it is actually a surprise.  If you like the products, you can purchase them directly on the Birchbox website and even earn points toward your favorite beauty finds.

Since it is always the socialite way to share the wealth, I am giving away a Birchbox to one lucky reader!  To win, comment on this post telling me the name of your favorite beauty product.  Be sure to include your email address. To learn more about how a Birchbox subscription works, tune into this video.  It’s pink!

InStyle’s VaVaVoom Event at Bebe

Today, May 12th beginning at noon, bebe is having an awesome promotion going on in stores all across the USA. All you have to do is stop by a participating bebe store anytime after 12 noon, take a picture of yourself in your favorite look (which is always more accurate than a mirror,) and upload it to the bebe Facebook Page for fans to vote on the best look.

Aside from how much I need to go shopping for summer clothes, this contest made me realize just how much any beach-going socialite needs a Vespa in her arsenal of accessories. Not only are they ultra European, but you can hop from place to place quickly as your hair blows in the summer breeze on one of these fab bikes. Though I regret that I have a previous engagement and will not be able to participate in this competition, I trust that the Vespa will go to a very stylish home. In the meantime, I will just have to add the Vespa S 50 4V to the list of items I aspire to own.
