Really, can you beat a $10 ticket and a goodie bag, or a $25 ticket and a deluxe goodie bag (which I highly suggest because the regular goodie bag is a little slim) ? Shecky’s Girls Night Out showcases some of today’s hottest up and coming products from luxe handbags by Anavaa Kisasa to bath and body necessities by Sepia Skincare, Shecky’s Girls Night Out doesn’t miss a beat.

Here is the list of the cities that they are headed to now (the D.C. event for May sold out in March), I highly suggest that you get your tickets now if you are going to be in the following cities:

Okay, so last night I was at Femme Fetes; Fashion Playland event (which was awesome!) having a ball until someone asked for my business card. If you are like me you probably carry a huge purse big enough for the world to fit in which isn’t so cute for any after five event with the hottest taste makers. So as I am digging through my purse; (which by the way is the size of the world) and digging (it’s only so much small talk), finally I give up looking for the cardcase and scribble my info on a card that’s not mine (soooo not savvy). I am totally embarrassed because it looks so unprofessional and I start thinking to my self how I should have had a Celicase.

Celicase is the must have item for women on the go like myself. It’s a cute handmade leather organizer (with lots of color and style options;-D) that allow all of your necessities (i.e. credit cards, phone, card style lipsticks, eyeshadows and most importantly business cards!!!!) to fit neatly in a cute case that you can strap, belt, clutch or clip.

*These are some of my favorites; Treefrog Green, Retro Pink, Carmel Camel and Basmati Brown for only $60 each !!!!!
Visit www.celicase.com for more information and while you are there be sure to check out the designer, Lisa Rodrigues story she is truly a Savvy Socialite who overcame huge obstacles and made it!

If you don’t know already Gap Inc.’s Forth & Towne stores will be closing at the end of June (sigh), which blows because I actually liked the store. Forth & Towne was like Harold’s/Ann Taylor/Banana Republic/White House Black Market; mashed into one great store that provided me with work and play essentials.

I remember like it was yesterday, going to New York City and finding this oasis that kept me step ahead of my co-workers hum-drum wardrobe but, not to bold as to isolate senior management. Ah yes, you were perfect; too bad they didn’t market you correctly or place you in better markets to reach your targets (I mean really; why were there no Forth & Towne stores in the DC Metro area??? Who was the genius in the meeting who suggested not having some stores here?). I will definitely miss Forth & Towne but, I think I will be able to get over it considering how the stores are having serious sales (up to 60%) to clear out the merchandise (yippie!!!!!!!!!) and because Forth & Towne focused on classics this is a sale one can ill afford to miss. So, Ladies if you are in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle fire up the AMEX and head to your nearest store to stock up on some summer classics before they officially close their doors at the end of June.

Good Bye Forth & Towne, you will be missed.

Visit www.forthandtowne.com for info about the store closing and sales.

I was doing my normal perusal of sites online (when I really should get started actually doing work) when I stumbled upon Mitzi Baker’s online store. The leather handbags are supple and chic, the earrings and necklaces give you just enough glam without being ostentatious (sorry Savvy Socialites don’t do gaudy…well maybe on occasion). The items I saw are absolutely perfect for a quick getaway if you are into “effortless chic” and neat enough for a breezy day with friends by the harbor or the bay.

 

 

  

(The Pete Kimono $128, Tracy Matthews Gold Moroccan earrings $178, The Clutch $195 (the white is sold out now)). Visit www.mitzibaker.com for more info.

It’s official!!!!!! Spa Week is finally here!
Who doesn’t need $50 spa treatments from some of the top spas across the country? Ummm… looks like no hands went up for that one. Well then, I guess we all can agree that $50 bucks for a spa treatment is definitely doable. So, for one fabulous week you’ll have the opportunity to check out that spa that you’ve been hearing all the hype about but, didn’t want to pay $200 and have a “spa treatment gone wild” experience (we’ve all seen what happened to Gina on “Martin”- damn that avacado!!!). But, for $50 bucks and the creme de la creme of spas working their magic on your winter worn (and in some cities spring) body, why not give it a try! While you are lying down and letting Hans’s fingers do the talking think of all good you will be doing for www.cancerandcareers.org seeing how proceeds from Spa Weekare donated to help those who have cancer but, don’t have the luxury of not working while they are fighting this disease. See doing good and looking good that’s what us Savvy Socialites are all about. Plus, last time I checked we all were a little overdue for a recharge to get us prepared for the summer.

Visit www.SpaWeek.org to get a listing of participating spas in your city!

So my friend and I are getting ready to go out for our typical Friday night but, right as we were walking out the door, the zipper on her favorite D&G jeans (she’s had them since undergrad fall ‘99 and she can still fit them, some chicks…) finally ripped. Anyway, it was too late to go to her house and she clearly couldn’t fit into my pants (I’m a little bit bigger) not to mention everyone else was already there, so we were in a huge bind and using safety pins would be a pain if she went to the bathroom or made the wrong move (if you catch my drift). Then a light bulb came on and I reached for a cute little package of Bristol 6 Stylin’ Tape. I swear we taped her pants together then went out and partied and it stayed (even though she was nervously checking throughout the night to just to make sure). I have got to say that this product is the truth and I strongly recommend it to anyone.

Visit www.bristol6.com for more info about their Stylin’ Tape. Oh and don’t forget to get your Nippies they’re great too just in case you are wearing a top that is not bra optional.

Price: $15 (and worth it!)
