Which is great for the more spiritual/self help shoppers.

Speaking of Social Climbers. What does everyone think of Desire Rogers?

Read the NYT article here

As a former event planner and PR consultant I got dressed up, had my hair and make up done and attended all of my events looking like a guest. However, I was secretly walking around making sure guests were mingling, getting their drinks and being photographed. Occasionally, I had to play the role of guest. Curious of everyone's thoughts on the very SC scandal in DC!

Have a beautiful preppy day!

Santa is an SC!

Happy Preppy Monday!

I could really use a facial but life is simply too busy today. I have to write an article for Go Jane news about holiday hostess gifts in this economy. Wish me luck!

Look who is reading SC!

So I had to get a photo with him. I'm wearing my JM Christmas pants that my family LOVES to make fun of.

Hermes told me I look like a limo driver!

What's on your SC Santa list?

I have a major announcement coming that I'm so excited to share.

Socialite Sunday!

I'm loving the Sun-day

First of all I can't spell but I had 0 problem googling Borghese. I may not write well but I know my beauty products.  I wanted to share my latest love.

This is the view I see as I blog etc. I'm wearing my new "boyfriend" sweater by soft surroundings.  I love it! Sunday's are a big day for me. I take a bath and watch the Eagles. That is usually it. And yes, this is MY dock. And I love it! I may live in the stix but this is my home and I'm never leaving.

The "bath" ritual started when I had my first child (he is 9). I needed an hour to myself. I lock the door, (literally don't hate me) and turn on music. Then, I light a candle and it begins with the following ingredients/ritual:

A book to read once face mask has been applied

Spray the entire bathroom with room spray. There isn't enough Poo pourri to save me from smell of Husband

Run Hot bath include: oil, gardenia liquid soap, epsom salt

Dry brush, pumice feet, scrub skin with rough sponge full of gardenia body wash

Wash face

Dry face

apply mask

deep breaths

Read or talk on the phone

pumice feet again

do a stretch my masseuse taught me

Dry off

apply lotion

Tons of serums for the face (which my Father explained I wouldn't need if I'd just stop smoking-note to self, take parents advice)

Put on comfy outfit

Cuddle by the fire with family and watch the Eagles SUCK

Love you all!

Stay preppy

How a preppy does Saturday!

HELLO!

I love my blog friends. This week was so fab. SC met with The Early show and some other media so expect news soon.
I live for Christmas. It is so swell. There isn't a week without a party, lunch, or something else fun. Today we are taking the boys to Main Line Gardens to see Santa! My cousin actually owns Main Line Gardens-it is lovely. click here Look what they did to my car

I feel so "in the spirit" when I drive. My favorite Christmas songs:

Feed The world, Bandaid (reminds me of when I lived in Zimbabwe)

Father Christmas, The Kinks

Santa Clause is coming to Town, The Four Seasons

And....Hermes sent me my Christmas gift early. 2 Preppy Girls click here put together a gorgeous gift basket for me. Look what Hermes had monogrammed

AND!!!! Guess who won my entreprenuer free month!!! Entertaining Mom. I'm so happy for her as I think she is a genius. And I'm super smart so if I think someone is genius well they are! Congratulations Jessica you are going to rock this.

I hope everyone has a preppy day.

Can You read?

Or a better question is, can I write. The answer is, no. But, that did not stop me from writing a book. Sure I hired editors, my agent tried to help me with re writes. In the end I'm just like most people-I want to get things done and I like to do them my way. As Hermes would say, I'm not bossy I just have better ideas! I took a lot of heat on Amazon for the typos in my book and yes it hurt my feelings, even though I was the one that did not want to hire yet another editor. Hermes told me to write the bad reviewers back and say "hey I never said I could write," after all it was kind of amusing. And answering critics isn't my strong suit-I didn't want to look defensive.

As my very wise Father pointed out if you put a poorly spelled sentence in front of someone they can read it!

Introducing Hermes!

Happy Preppy Wednesday

I hope this blog finds everyone feeling lovely about the impending holidays

A few weeks ago I won an award and had to list a few items about myself. One of them being that my bff is royal. I've decided rather than keeping her to myself (she is truly my go to girl for all things stylish), I'd share some of her insights with you today through an interview I conducted with The Countess. Hermes is an interesting breed of eccentric-she wouldn't be caught dead wearing Lilly Pulitzer and she has never read The Official Preppy Handbook. However, one of the main characters in my novel, Social Climbers, is loosely based on her and she LOVED my book! Please don't be offended by her blunt answers-she is a countess after all and one of the first insights she shared with me is that titled aristocracy can be vulgar. I figured if I can put up with her for the past 20 years you all will live with one little blog. Without further ado I introduce The Countess Hermes Herman:

"When did you realize your life was different than most of your friends?"   HH- When my private plane landed on top of my friends volvo the first day of school



"What do you think of when you think of the word preppy?" HH-pink and green blood running through your varicose veins

"Who are your style icons and please don't use anyone with the initial JBKO?" HH-The Countess Puni Vacarri

"What is your go to elegant outfit?" HH-All of my outfits!

"What are your favorite chic items for clothes and for the home?" HH-All of my homes and clothes are chic...while you're at it so are my yachts.

"Do you have a favorite stylish movie?" HH-Gone with the Wind

"What tacky behavior do you deplore in others?" HH-Gossiping


"Motto?" HH-Beth is a whore! LOL only kidding....It Takes One Generation to make a fortune, it takes Five to make a Gentlemen.


So there you have it. That is Hermes! I love her, she is my best friend in the whole world. She has a huge heart but she can be a Bitch! And think how hard it is for me to Christmas shop for her.


Let me know if you have any questions for The Countess??? She really has been to The Grimaldi's in Monaco!
