What Does it Mean to be Bourgie?

Bourgie 


"Stemming from the French word bourgeoisie. Pronounced 'boo-zhee.' 

Someone who is class-conscious, with educated and discerning tastes, and interested in enjoying the finer things in life. It is definitely not high-class, aristoratic, snooty, or snobbish. “Bourgie” is as much an idea, and a state of mind, as it is an attitude towards enjoying good food, good friends, and good conversation, everyday. It evokes a mood of simple elegance, casual yet sophisticated—modern."


from Daily Mail
Some people use the term "bourgie" when they are calling someone a snob. It is true that this is one definition of bourgie, but for the purposes of this blog and Bourgie Saturday, it is quite the contrary. Our brand of bourgie pertains to enjoying the world and all of the beautiful things it has to offer. If enjoying a high tea with scones is snobby, then slap me and call me Victoria Beckham. If you, like us, consider it to be delicious -- and possibly best with lemon curd -- then you've come to the right place! This blog is best viewed with an impeccable sense of humor and an open mind. 

Enjoy!
