‘Oh no she didn’t’

By Alexandra Stylist | November 4th, 2010

I devoured Clinton Kelly’s new book called, ‘Oh no she didn’t’ full of Clinton’s unabashed fashion observations which could have been called, Oh no he didn’t! A quick read which I recommend. Sometimes I laughed so hard I cried. He rips the top 100 faux pas to shreads. Some of my favorite pages are in […]

By Alexandra Stylist | November 2nd, 2010

How was your Halloween? How is it that we now have 3 nights of celebrations? I’m missing the simplicity of trick or treating and egging houses. But I digress. This year I had the wonderful honor of judging the costume contest at Gilt City’s Monster Mash organized and curated by the uber talented Adam Aleksander […]

By Alexandra Stylist | October 21st, 2010

Art at the Governor’s Island Fair I was most taken by the room installation by Shaun Irons+Lauren Petty which was a cross between a spooky mini pirate show and a light installation. Creepy but very cool.

Long is the new short

By Alexandra Stylist | October 18th, 2010

So we’re in this new fashion vortex where the long skirt has made it’s way back onto trend setters but it has also got me thinking. Lately I’ve been all about touting the designers who I believe have longevity. I’ve been asked several times to name ‘hot’ ‘young’ ‘up and coming’ designers and you know […]

Does your Ipad need some bling?

By Alexandra Stylist | October 10th, 2010

Kara Ross’s Ipad holder I found the chicest ipad holder at Kara Ross during fashion week. I was lucky to get some one on one time with the designer. This is one of the items that blew me away. She used amazing skins and custom cut precious stones. Bergdorfs carries her line. More info here. […]

Real/Faux Gucci

By Alexandra Stylist | October 9th, 2010

“Night of Italian Glamour” I was lured to an event at the Pierre last week that at a quick glance I believed would be hosted by Gucci the brand. I think don’t think I was alone in that conclusion. The event however was hosted by Giorgio Gucci who sold his famous Gucci name to the […]

1950’s Les Salonnieres Pool Party

By Alexandra Stylist | October 9th, 2010

A tucked away at the Sea Horse Swim Club pool which has probably never seen an event much like this one. Gawker tv’s […]

Soft, feminine, flowy, drapey. Collection was inspired by. Now being designed by Tia’s sister Fiona Cibani. Clients include Olivia Palermo, Paula Patton, […]
