Casual Glamour

By Alexandra Stylist | October 13th, 2009

This fall upon my return to NYC I looked to find a new fashion inspiration. I found my new direction in a post of my good friend Marni’s blog. The article talks about how sometimes it’s better as a woman to not look like you’re trying to hard in the dressing department. So I took […]

Lights Camera Champagne

By Alexandra Stylist | October 9th, 2009

Back in the big apple. Back to my posh life right? I missed fashion week but was invited to the very glamorous Porsche/Vanity Fair Party at Skylight studios in downtown Manhattan. Luckily for me and my wing-girlfriend we were treated to pre-recession opulence in a swinging 60’s glamour scene. We avoid the red carpet because […]

Afloat at Astir Beach

By Alexandra Stylist | September 21st, 2009

Greetings from Greece

By Alexandra Stylist | August 22nd, 2009

Oia Santorini Greece is my idea of heaven. Already I have some observations about island life. 1.Local greeks seem to place friends first and customers second-not sure why but they would chat away while you wilt in the doorstep-a total change from nyc.2.Santorini’s water is a bit like a stripper-beautiful, stunning, takes your breath away […]

Conncecting or unplugging

By Alexandra Stylist | August 12th, 2009

Last summer I was all about unplugging from technology-my cell phone, my computer, and alarm clock, tv, all of it.This summer with all the plans, socialness, dating, and arrows I’m realizing that your vacation is only as good as your cell phone coverage. When you have fish to fry you must be reachable. Now if […]
