When safe style can hurt you

By Alexandra Stylist | April 16th, 2014

This month I’ve been inside multiple closets of newly high powered women. They are women who have worked very hard and that hard work is paying off..but their closet has been left behind. And a common theme I’ve seen is that all of their closets had ‘safe bets’. There is a fine line between ‘classic […]

What style message are you sending?

While working with a client this weekend in her closet during a style/organization session she tried on one of her older pleated printed skirts.

By Alexandra Stylist | March 19th, 2014

The Uggs ‘robe’…I morph it into a car coat/dog walking coat/airplane cozy coat/lounge around the house robe. I love it and it’s amazing!
