In a state of Hamptons Social Shock

By Alexandra Stylist | August 12th, 2009

NEH to NYC to Hamptons in one day?Too much radical change for me.Last night had an impromptu dinner party at the house and I woke up thinking about how the hamptons are really the opposite of Maine. No waspy gumption..here it’s hamptons gall.Here’s a few examples of Hamptons Gall from this summer:Stabbing your boyfriend for […]

WASPY MAINE

By Alexandra Stylist | August 11th, 2009

How do I describe NEH and Seal Harbor on Mount Desert Island Maine? You really don’t know what you’re missing untill you witness the place. Sleepy, adorable, quaint, and the opposite of new york city. No starbucks, no chains and thank god. Downside is there are few restaurants and this season Bassa was having serious […]

A bargain Benefit?

By Alexandra Stylist | August 11th, 2009

$150 for seated plated lobster/filet mignon benefit dinner. Throw in open bar, cocktail hour, silent auction, exciting live auction in which my date bid up all interesting packages, live band, some serious dancing, and the society peeps of MDI and you get one hell of an evening. The icing on the cake was being seated […]

100th post

By Alexandra Stylist | August 11th, 2009

Happy 100th post. I feel the pressure for this to be uber dishy…but no I have been a bit quiet as I was bringing it to MDI in Maine. Northeast Harbor is one of my favorite spots in the land and every august I try to spend as much time possible there. This year had […]

LESS IS MORE, STYLE DIY,

How I cut my bottom line-the original LESS IS MORE post

By Alexandra Stylist | August 5th, 2009

So New York is an expensive city right? It’s also home to the $8 manicure and sample sales galore. In September I decided to do a little budget planning for myself. I took a good look at my finances and decided what needed to get the ax and what changes to implement: quit the gym-using […]

Party Temperature Tester Babe

By Alexandra Stylist | July 31st, 2009

Are you guilty of running late to every party so that you can text your girlfriends to tell you how it is? One of my girlfriends pulled this on me for the best party of the season. Penthouse, free drinks, full buffet of hot apps, wonderful people, and the biggest private roofdeck in manhattan. Who […]

Where the babes are

By Alexandra Stylist | July 31st, 2009

Or hot chicks as my friend Cass would say….Bryant Park Yoga Tuesday morning 10am was delicious, sweaty, and sweet. It would be heaven if I were a guy or a lesbian. 140 yogis and I only counted 3 men-not that I was counting. One of the many male onlookers found it necessary to get picture […]

Polo in the Hamptons

By Alexandra Stylist | July 28th, 2009

Really is there anything more glamorous than the Mercedes Benz Polo VIP tent Saturdays in the Hamptons? It certainly is a great opportunity for many corporate sponsors-pop chips, and teak furniture, stoli vodka….but NO CHAMPAGNE….say what! Why go??? For the people watching…for the polo match which no one watches. I spotted a few of the […]
