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!

Project Runway Week 5 Preview

This week on Project Runway on Lifetime, morning reality will set in when Melissa is the only girl left in her room.  The designers meet Heidi on the Runway, where she holds the infamous button bag.  Nina Garcia arrives to tell the designers about their next challenge.  They will be designing a capsule collection for the new Marie Claire at Work magazine.

Heidi tells the designers it is a team challenge, and everyone is disappointed.  The designers divide into two teams: Sonjia, Melissa, Elena, Dmitry,Alicia, Raul and Nathan, Ven, Christopher, Fabio, Gunnar.  The teams start to work, Elena clashes with the group, Gunnar is annoyed with micromanaging.  The teams head to Mood.  Back in the workroom, one of the teams discovers they are missing a bag and now have to improvise with less materials.  Raul gets frustrated.

Tim meets with the teams and gives his critiques.  He worries about Gunnar not speaking up.  After the designers finish their outfits, they get to direct a photo shoot for Marie Claire.  Elena clashes with everyone at the shoot, and argues with Melissa.  The looks from both teams walk the runway for the judges, and the judges are shown the photos from their shoot.  The judges talk to both teams on the runway.  Sorry socialites!  I don’t know in advance who is eliminated.  I’m not that famous yet…

Project Runway Week 3 Preview

The competition is really heating up with every twist and turn on Project Runway this week.  On tonight’s episode, the designers will meet Heidi on the runway and are told to meet Tim at the Southside Seaport.  When they arrive they find Tim and several Lexus vehicles.  They each get a key that will determine their car and their partner.  Their car and it’s color must inspire a red-carpet look to be worn at the Emmy’s.  They are told they have clients waiting for them.

Since there is always a twist, when the designers hop in their cars, they discover that their clients are former runway contestants.   In the workroom, some of the teams have difficulty working together.  Elena stomps around and bosses Buffi.  Christopher begins to lose patience with Andrea.  Gunnar and Kooan try to find a way to work together even though their methods are worlds apart.  Tim Gunn offers his critiques and the clients add their input.  Besides elimination, that’s always the scariest part.  Gunnar and Kooan’s client is demanding.  Alicia and Raul’s client hates their fabric.  Andrea and Chris’s client worries that they have her showing too much skin.  Ven and Fabio’s client is delighted by their design.  With all this designer drama, I’m already on the edge of my seat wondering who will be in and who will be out.

You’re either in or you’re out and right now I’m in. In honor of Project Runway‘s 10th Anniversary, I have been chosen to be a member of the Project Runway Fashion Blogger Network which means you can look forward to exclusive previews every week on Aspiring Socialite.  Check out this behind the scenes look at Heidi Klum’s promotional photo shoot for the series.  I think I’m going to stop eating now and permanently station myself on a treadmill until this season of Project Runway is over.  Be sure to tune in tomorrow for some cutting edge fashion!

Southern Socialites of Big Rich Texas

Everything is bigger in Texas and socialites always do things big. Weather it’s a birthday party or a simple trip to the store, bigger is better. Big Rich Texas premiering on July 17th at 9/8c on the Style Network explores the world of elite mothers and daughters at some of the Dallas’ most exclusive country clubs.

We are about to enter a whole new realm of socialite status. extravagant isn’t even the word for these southern belles gone debutantes because the only thing bigger than their hair, are their bank accounts. New York may be a city of socialites, but Texas is a state of country clubbers who don’t need a Park Ave. high-rise to live the ultimate high life. Watch out New York because big hair and sundresses just may be replacing the NYC staples of leggings and a flat-iron. As an aspiring member of this club, I know I’ll be tuning in.
