The Hunt continues

By Alexandra Stylist | November 27th, 2009

So the grecarious and uber talented girls from The Hunt for Good Americans are on their home stretch with their documentary. They have returned to the big apple from their whirlwind tour swathed in colorful and zany vintage. All that’s left is to edit the film, add music, distribute, and it’s on it’s way to […]

By Alexandra Stylist | November 26th, 2009

At the farmers market I ran into style icon and dandy Patrick McDonald and was excited to wish him a happy holidays. At Fashion Week I’m also impressed by his attention to detail with his outfits. This man does not dress half way! He’s got the hat, the jewelry, the matching gloves, the whole bag […]

Women each have different shapes and coloring-so what may be one woman’s answer to her […]

Did anyone see the spread in Harper’s Bazaar this month (December 2009) called Diary of a Trophy Wife dictated to Rita Wilson, not read? It pokes fun at the life of a trophy wife. “The first time I had Botox, I had a headache for three days and I couldn’t make it to the Cavalli […]

One look does not fit all

By Alexandra Stylist | November 17th, 2009

The wonderful thing about clothing and accessories is that they are voluntary contributions. Unlike hair coloring, style isn’t permanent and always evolving. A few years ago I was Loft living Williamsburg (Brooklyn not Virginia) and trying to fit in style wise. Everyone was way too cool for school that hanging with my cool sexually ambiguous […]
