Hi I’m Alexandra, author + personal stylist since 2001.
Welcome to my blog where I write everything (except for the press pieces).
No guest or sponsored posts just my unfiltered opinion of where style and reality intersect.
Enjoy!

Success and your Closet

By Alexandra Stylist | October 28th, 2016

Have you ever been in a house of someone you admire. A woman who has what you want. She is super successful and just had an air about her that nothing can mess with her serenity? That life is just easy. And you sneak a peak into their closet and it’s so beautiful, organized, streamlined […]

Nomad in style?

By Alexandra Stylist | October 22nd, 2016

I’m a big fan of the Sunday Styles Section in the New York Times. This weekend I read an article that I can’t get out of my head. It’s about Fabrice Grinda who, approaching 40 years old and despite being worth approximately 100 million dollars, decided to give up his lavish estate (including a butler) […]

Closet Clarity

By Alexandra Stylist | October 4th, 2016

Why did I create Closet Clarity? They say outer clutter is a reflection of inner clutter and I’ve always struggled with having a bursting closet and not enough space. I’m also very challenged by paper clutter. Last winter I spent 2.5 months on the west coast working with clients. I was forced to live with less […]

Confessions,

Less is more: how much do you really need?

By Alexandra Stylist | October 2nd, 2016

I’ve spoken about the less-is-more concept before on my blog here and here. Every day I become even more aware of how little of our stuff we actually need. Do I really need 6 different pots? Nope, just 2 perfect sized pots. And wooden spoons? How many things do I really cook at once? Oh and sweaters…the […]

Getting to the bottom of why we only wear 20% of our closets

By Alexandra Stylist | September 29th, 2016

Despite being a stylist I’ve never been much of a perfect folder. I never worked in retail where I had to perfect the perfect t-shirt fold. My own closets are reasonably organized but not anal. I’ve always wanted prettier, more perfect closets but haven’t invested the time or money. I’ve aspired to have my closet look […]

Letting go of treasured style gifts

By Alexandra Stylist | August 29th, 2016

What are you holding onto? A treasured friend of mine, Antonia, is a talented singer/songwriter/performer who I worked with in my past life as a fashion shoot stylist-we’re talking about 2002. The shoot we did together never yielded any good shots because the photographer was drunk the whole time. Not an uncommon story in the fashion […]

Being visible and stylish online

By Alexandra Stylist | June 17th, 2016

It was 2006 and I had my fashion styling portfolio online. I had my house of portfolios book too but that didn’t seem like the ticket to getting hired in the future in my books. I realized that clients in addition to seeing my styling work ALSO needed to see what I looked like. So […]
