Dressing Like Glee’s Rachel Berry

A far cry from Lea Michele‘s stunning red carpet gowns, Rachel Berry’s semi-preppy style with a schoolgirl twist, has caused quite a stir on Glee.  The clean lines and youthful prints express her larger than life overachieving personality perfectly.  Though Lea Michele’s alter ego often gets made fun of for her unique style, I kind of dig it.  As homage to the greatly obnoxious Rachel Berry, I’ve put together a collection of must-haves for the inner high school diva in you:

1.  Marc by Marc Jacobs Quiet as a Mouse Flats:  With all her reindeer sweaters, there’s no way Rachel Berry could resist the urge to tip toe around in Marc Jacobs mouse flats.

2.  Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Natasha Bag:  A chic sophisticated Marc Jacobs bag big enough to hold a wallet, sunglasses, and a cosmetics bag for last minute touch ups before singing on stage.

3.  Dearest Diarist Dress:  This angelic dress is great for a typical day at William Mckinley High School.

4.  ASOS Pleat Skirt in Neoprene:  This bright pleat skirt with a fitted waistband goes great with statement sweaters.

5.  kate spade new york Allover Argyle Tights:  Argyle is the ultimate preppy pattern.  Surely Rachel Berry would wear these tights in a second.

6.  Karaoke Revolution Glee:  Everyone needs to Gleek out once in a while to the tunes of the McKinley High Glee Club.

Lea Michele for Candie’s

So many spring lines so little time!  Today, Candie’s revealed that Glee‘s Lea Michele will be the official face of their spring 2012 campaign entitled “Hangin’ at Home.”  It will debut in March and feature Rachel Berry’s alter ego causing a stir in the kitchen, glamorously lounging by the pool and being playful in her bedroom.  As a top-notch performer, Lea Michele does an impeccable job modeling Candie’s affordable spring 2012 fashions available exclusively at Kohl’s department stores.

This may be my favorite Candie’s campaign/collection.  As a fellow singer, it’s no wonder that Lea’s favorite Candie’s alumna is Britney Spears.  I will absolutely be including some key Candie’s items in my Hampton’s/Central Park wardrobe for 2012.  In three words, I would describe this collection as colorful, bubblegum, and versatile.  Like Lea Michele herself, Candie’s spring 2012 just has so much personality.  Maybe I should learn to become a spokesperson?  It looks like fun and they probably let you keep the clothes.

Twas the Night Before Fashion Week

Twas the night before Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
And all thought the city
Not a Chihuahua was stirring
Because everyone looked pretty

The Prada bags were hung in the showroom with care
In hopes that something Chanel soon would be there

Anna Wintour in Louboutin heels
And I in Tory Burch flats
Had just settled down for a much-needed nap

For socialites, every week is Fashion Week and every night is Fashion’s Night Out. During the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, however, you have to celebrate a little bit harder. On this very rainy eve of New York Fashion Week it is time we all took in one last breath and a long nap in preparation for all of the elegantly overwhelming shows, parties, previews, and appearances to come.

Tomorrow night Sept. 8th (6-11 pm) I will be cruising around the Meatpacking District rain or shine in celebration of Fashion’s Night Out. I can’t think of a better way to begin Fashion Week than with extended shopping hours everywhere complete with free champagne and hors d’oeuveres to compliment the already wonderful shopping experience. Who knows what surpirizes this monumental week has in store for us. Our old childhood friend, Barbie, will even be making an appearance. Seeing that none of us can be in two places at once, all shows will be streaming on YouTube. Get ready to be as busy as Rachel Zoe.

Join me as I relax to the musical stylings of Glee:


Help PETA & Lea Michele Put Horses Back in the Pasture

Horses in the carriage industry are treated badly and PETA wants to helpWhile walking the streets of my beloved city one evening, I spotted a billboard that captured my vision for a better world.  It was an angelic photo of my favorite Glee star, Lea Michele, fighting against the inhumane treatment of the animals and the horrors of the horse-drawn carriage industry.  Witnessing Lea Michele endorse PETA‘s latest campaign was music to my ears.  Inspired by this selfless action, I too urge people everywhere to boycott horse carriages in exchange for limos.

More attention needs to be brought to this ignored issue.  Horses do not belong in the confining traffic of NYC or in disgusting Midtown stables.  These beautiful animals belong somewhere out in the country on a socialite’s Long Island estate where they can roam free on green pastures.  It has always been my dream to make a difference by starring in my own PETA ad.  So I urge you to join PETA and Lea Michele in their cause to rid cities everywhere of this miserable and unnecessary industry.  You don’t have to be a Socialite or even an aspiring one; you just have to have a heart. For information on the issue and what you can do to make a difference visit NYCLASS.org or PETA.org.

 

Merry Christmas Darlings!

Merry Christmas!! I have always been intrigued by The Carpenter’s hit holiday single Merry Christmas Darling.  Whenever I am doing Christmas shopping and this song comes on, I take a moment to listen to the lyrics.  Their haunting qualities truly capture a feeling of emptiness that is unfortunately often part of Christmas when loved ones are far way.  On the path to socialite stardom the feeling is often mutual.  Sometimes for an Aspiring Socialite, a miracle on 34th St. can seem millions of miles away.  Every epic odyssey has its highs and lows, but it’s only the fairy tale ending that everyone always remembers.  Mine is no exception.  Sometimes on a clear wintery night in New York City, you can find me strolling alone through the streets of Soho staring longingly into the windows of Chanel, Burberry, and various high-end boutiques just as Audrey Hepburn did so many years ago in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  If I can’t have full custody over the couture I desire, I can at least have supervised visitation rights.  However, as I always tweet, I have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to my fans.  I want wish all of my wonderful readers a very Merry Christmas.  Everytime I raise my glass this holiday, it will be to you.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my darling fans!!
