April Fooled By Rebecca Minkoff

Rebecca-Minkoff-Fashion-Designer

I’m a bit naïve and incredibly gullible. So when someone tells me that “Gullible” is written on the ceiling, I usually look up.  Perhaps, always being a wide-eyed innocent will keep me young longer and better than botox.  This morning, Glamour Magazine and Rebecca Minkoff announced over social media that the fashion designer would be joining the cast of Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York City with a Glamour exclusive.  Having forgotten to check that the date was April 1st, I totally believed it!  I event tweeted a congratulations which a soon retracted with the following tweet:

A part of me thinks that I never should have fallen for this.  It’s kind embarrassing.  I mean, what am I going to believe next? That Tory Burch is joining the cast of Jersey Shore?  Or that Taylor Swift is MTV’s next Teen Mom?  But, in the end, I don’t feel that bad about being fooled because I know I wasn’t the only pure of heart fashionista who fell for this epic April Fool’s joke.  Happy April Fool’s Day Socialites!

Kelly Bensimon on Her New Book “I Can Make You Hot!” & Being a Socialite


On my path to being a member of the upper crust, there’s nothing more inspiring than meeting and getting advice from actual socialites living the dream.  At a recent meet and greet with former Real Housewife of New York, Kelly Bensimon, celebrating her new diet and lifestyle book, I Can Make You Hot!, the insight I gained on living a healthy and happy socialite life was impeccable. In the book, the model and mother of two reveals how real models eat, live, and keep their bodies beautiful with healthy foods, sleep, and exercise.  Basically, treat your body right and it will love you back.  

This philosophy makes I Can Make You Hot! one of the most optimistic diet books on the market showing the world that skinny people don’t starve themselves, they just eat the right things and make an effort to always treat their bodies like gold.  There’s even room to splurge.  For Kelly, Sunday is the “Day of Rest” where she is free to eat whatever she desires.  When I asked Kelly about being a vegetarian, she suggested I start eating meat again because lean proteins are an important part of a diet that promotes weight loss.  Though I know I should be eating a better variety of foods, I’m not sure if I’m quite ready yet to add meat into the mix.  But, if a supermodel says it will make me hot, I might consider it.

To win a signed copy of I Can Make You Hot! by the lovely Kelly Killoren Bensimon, comment on this post with the name of your favorite food.   The winner will be chosen at random and contacted by email.
