Miss Tins has been busy this week in New York and we decided to take a stroll with her through Fashion week in honor of her upcoming show “High Society” which airs March 10th on the CW!!

First, a tad of history so we are all on the same page:

Tinsley Mortimer (née Tinsley Mercer) went to Lawrenceville Academy in New Jersey, a boarding school (where I applied and almost went, chose Putney instead and) where she met her future ex-husband, Robert Livingston “Topper” Mortimer. She went on to Columbia, Vogue, and  Harrison & Shriftman. He went on to Guggenheim Partner. She has a sister, Dabney Mercer, a capsule collection with Samantha Thavasa, and her own clothing line called Riccime by Tinsley Mortimer. She has also made two cameos on Gossip Girl. Tinsley was also a “beauty ambassador” for Christian Dior in 2007 - and designed a cute little line of Dior-by-Tinsley facial blotting papers. She developed a pilot for MTV in 2007,  which was not picked up and also hosted a fashion segment for Plum TV. This Spring we will see her in a reality show called “High Society”, which has just recently finished filming and will air March 10. She dated Constantine Maroulis for the show and ended their relationship as soon as filming finished. We noticed her up at Sundance this year with sister Dab, and faux beau Const, and then down at Super Bowl. Now, on to Fashion Week!
