Style Blog

Hi I’m Alexandra, author + personal stylist since 2001.
Welcome to my blog where I write everything (except for the press pieces).
No guest or sponsored posts just my unfiltered opinion of where style and reality intersect.

NEW AND NOTEWORTHY,

Greece is for night owls

By Alexandra Stylist | August 11th, 2010

The day gets started oh so late here on the Greek islands. My cousins sleep half of the day away and then come 4pm things get rolling. My midnight and 1am is prime time. I’m ready for bed and they are ready to roll. The cool thing is that in town all the bars are […]

FASHION AND STYLE INSPIRATIONS, NEW AND NOTEWORTHY, TALENTED PEOPLE,

A sneak peak

By Alexandra Stylist | August 10th, 2010

So as I’ve said there are some changes around here. I thought I would show you the general look of my new site which is in progress. The shoes I found on Zappos and were an inspiration for the look. The dress is by St. John-there is a reason Angelina Jolie was the face of […]

ART,

New Art

By Alexandra Stylist | August 7th, 2010

I have rediscovered my artistic side-well as a stylist it was always applied to my work. But creating art I have found to be extremely satisfying. Before I left for my yearly sojourn I finished up my collage class at the Art Student League. Shortly after I found this discarded painting my basement and transformed […]

CLOSET PROJECT, LESS IS MORE, STYLE DIY,

First Edit in my Closet

By Alexandra Stylist | August 5th, 2010

Made some progress on my closet after hearing from the DREAM CLOSET PROJECT architects Guido Tenaglia and Hsiang Lin that more space was needed. I got rid of a black skirt that I never wear, 2 pairs of shoes-one were a hybrid water shoe that never got worn, and a pink dress which was worn […]

INSPIRING EVENTS, NEW AND NOTEWORTHY,

I could tell you but then I would have to kill you..

By Alexandra Stylist | August 5th, 2010

What is a yankee/wasp/califonian/new yorker with a twist of Paris doing in Greece? Visiting relatives of course! But I’m sadly not Greek-just by marriage. Every August I’m adamant about taking serious time off to recharge. Like a month of unplugging from the hectic life of New York. I try to unplug from the blackberry, the […]

CLOSET PROJECT, LESS IS MORE, STYLE DIY,

Great minds think LESS IS MORE

By Alexandra Stylist | August 4th, 2010

Isn’t being a fashion stylist all about having fabulous stuff? I don’t think so. Personally I am yearning for less stuff and more space. I have found so many times when I freed myself of unused items I gained something big later. That slight shift in the universe makes room for better bright bigger things […]

Beautiful Baptism

By Alexandra Stylist | August 4th, 2010

I have traveled to the Greek islands to celebrate the christening of my cousin’s twin babies. Really I don’t need a big excuse to travel to Europe. Despite the trucker strike here in Greece which prevented the reception to receive all that the fancy event planner had arranged the baptism reception went off beautifully. The […]
