Hi I’m Alexandra, author + personal stylist since 2001.

Trina Turk for Banana Republic

By Alexandra Stylist | May 30th, 2012

The Trina Turk x Banana Republic collection hits stores in a week, but today you can shop the collaboration exclusively on Gilt. This dress is one of my favorite pieces, as it is an easy wear for many body shapes and the color print looks flattering. Will you be shopping early on Gilt, or waiting […]

Is a suit appropriate EVERYWHERE?

By Alexandra Stylist | May 23rd, 2012

Starting a new job can be daunting. And so is training in a new city and then starting the new job in ANOTHER city that you’ve never been to. How should you represent yourself? How do you dress? Do you shop before you go or after? The answers boil down to if your personal brand […]

The Met Ball 2012

By Alexandra Stylist | May 11th, 2012

It’s that time of year again: The Fashion Olympics, otherwise known as the Met ball, when my dear friends in celebrity tailoring and celebrity styling work like crazy fitting and styling 20 clients in just a few days. Not much sleep, I tell ya. But the outcome is stunning. When Hollywood and Fashion royalty come […]

St Barth’s

By Alexandra Stylist | May 10th, 2012

I had the amazing opportunity to visit St. Barthelemy (St. Barths) and stay at a friend’s villa overlooking Gustavia and the harbor. What a beautiful island. I especially appreciated the LACK of Starbucks and mega hotels – no towers or big resorts here. Also, French is the local language, and all the locals are French. […]

Hot spots in Palm Springs

By Alexandra Stylist | May 2nd, 2012

My yearly tradition is to visit my dear uncles in the desert town of Palm Springs. This year was no exception, except that I also had a VIP ticket to weekend 1 of Coachella, aka “walk-a-chella” (flats are a MUST), or the state fair on steroids for hipsters. It broke records with 80,000-85,000 visitors per […]

Universal colors

By Alexandra Stylist | May 2nd, 2012

Last week I spoke about bright colors and cautioned to be prudent in your shopping. However, there is an exception to the rule: Universal colors are bright-ish and are also flattering on most skin color types. You might be familiar with these colors as they tend to be staples in granny catalogues. They’re smart marketers; […]

Blinded by Color: Step Away from the Skirt

From left to right: Vanessa Bruno pants – SOLD OUT, Michael Kors sweater, Michael Kors dress, Topshop dress – SOLD OUT. For several seasons in a row I’ve been one frustrated stylist due to the overwhelming glut in the marketplace of the colors black and grey. But after spotting color on the runway in a […]

Stylish workout clothing

By Alexandra Stylist | April 11th, 2012

Yesterday I was between a rock and a style hard place. I realized the way my day was scheduled I wouldn’t be able to do a full outfit change from the gym to a meeting. So I found a way to not be stinky but still look presentable/passable for my important meeting. I wore my […]

Black isn’t the only black

By Alexandra Stylist | April 4th, 2012

In New York, black has felt like the unofficial uniform. Yes, it hides dirt, but it also sends a subliminal message that might not be in alignment with your personal brand. Black is symbol for death, and to me, it’s an overused color for those on a budget or who are too tired to color […]
