The Italians Are Coming!!!

By Alexandra Stylist | March 9th, 2013

It’s been a doubly exciting month as this is the second new Italian store discovery. Leghila is offering chic + lightweight + washable bags from Italy.

By Alexandra Stylist | March 2nd, 2013

One of my lovely blog readers, Natalie, expressed this current style frustration: ”Dressing for WINTER without losing my style – especially around the end of February when I want to either hole up in my apartment or wear seasonally inappropriate SPRING things – it’s a tough time of year.” I think we can all relate […]

I’m All About the Travel Pant

By Alexandra Stylist | February 23rd, 2013

I don’t know about you, but I crave cozy and comfortable clothing. So when it comes time to pick a pat, I’d much rather throw on sweats or leggings. Too bad we all know that’s not professional.

Editing out the Blind Spot

By Alexandra Stylist | February 3rd, 2013

The style blind spot: that’s what I call the one item you are naturally drawn to while shopping but then later realize you have too many of. For many women it’s the black top. So alluring, so easy to buy, but then how many do you really need? For years I always wound up […]

Expert Clothing Care: Spotlight On Deodorant Sponge

By Alexandra Stylist | January 23rd, 2013
