YSL Exhibit at the Petit Palais in Paris

By Alexandra Stylist | August 28th, 2010

With a line outside to make you cry even my press status got me very little VIP service Composed of over 400 couture ensembles shown at this exhibit it was easy to spend over 2 hours trying to drink it all in. Le Petit Palais is such a grand space and they did an excellent […]

Cool Clothing in Sifnos

By Alexandra Stylist | August 27th, 2010

When I travel I’m always on the lookout for the one of a kind and special pieces. I don’t always find it. Flip flops and fake designer sunglasses are every where but conceptual is not. Especially on the less touristy and smaller islands. I was delighted to discover a very cool shop in Sifnos is […]

Midnight Monastery Mountain ‘Experience’

By Alexandra Stylist | August 23rd, 2010

Returning from Milos on the ferry we got into Sifnos at 11pm which is prime dining hour chez my cousins. Obviously they dragged us out for ‘one drink’. Despite craving my bunk on the boat I felt up for being festive and to recount of great trip to Milos. Two hours later we’re convinced that […]

The ‘Great Greek Grandma Show’

By Alexandra Stylist | August 23rd, 2010

The ‘Great Greek Grandma Show’ thankfully not coming to YouTube EVER! On our way to the boat excursion on Milos we shared a cab with 2 elder barrel shaped Greek ladies with personal bags the size of Texas. I wondered if they brought their whole house. Once they boarded the boat the proceeded to change […]

CLOSET PROJECT, LESS IS MORE, TRAVEL,

Maximizing a Boat Closet-‘A Dream Closet’ Post

By Alexandra Stylist | August 23rd, 2010

Another installment of the DREAM CLOSET PROJECT/LESS is MORE in collaboration with Guido Tenaglia and Hsiang Lin of EZarchitecture. So knowing that I would be spending a lot of time on a yacht in the Greek Islands I packed ‘light’ for me. I knew the lack of closet and drawer space. Here’s what I’ve brought […]

Where is the laundress to empress?

By Alexandra Stylist | August 23rd, 2010

Lili’s laundromat in Sifnos So since I’ve been here on an undisclosed Greek Island I’ve accumulated a bit of laundry. In the beginning I was hand washing about 2 things a day-but then I got busy..busy doing nothing is a lot of work-there’s swimming, eating, smoozing, floating, you get the idea. That’s the thing about […]

By Alexandra Stylist | August 21st, 2010

As a water junkie-hopefully you’ve read some of my previous posts on water spas, hot springs, cold springs, steam rooms, swimming pools, and any cool place involving water I HAD to check out the hot springs with my new BTBE (best travel buddy ever). We had limited time so we asked the taxi driver to […]

While in Milos traveling with my new BTBE- (best travel buddy ever) we looked into day excursions on boats. After day trips on a private yachts I have to admit I’ve been spoiled.Once you get to Milos you soon learn that all of the breathtaking beaches are accessible via boat as half of the island […]

ENOUGH ABOUT TRENDS

By Alexandra Stylist | August 14th, 2010

Trends is one thing that really gets on my nerves. Because really and I’ve talked about this before there is no one size or one trend or one item fits all. Trends may work on models but very few of them work universally on ALL women. I’ll give you an example. The maxi dress was […]

No boobs no biggie

By Alexandra Stylist | August 13th, 2010

As a small chested woman I’ve never let it get in my way. Although in high school my best friend did tease me about being lacking in that area. I know I’m not alone in this. The reality is that it’s all in the packaging. If you know how to treat them no one will […]
