Style Blog

Hi I’m Alexandra, author + personal stylist since 2001.
Welcome to my blog where I write everything (except for the press pieces).

STYLE,

Gorgeous shots-I just need your help.

By Alexandra Stylist | July 31st, 2010

HELP because I can’t seem to choose. I did a recent photo shoot with Darryl Calmese of artxphotography.com for a new head shot. I would like to use a shot of two on my to be relaunched website AlexandrAStylist.com. I would like to appear professional, stylish, knowledgeable, and approachable. Here are what I have narrowed […]

I HEART FOOD, INSPIRING EVENTS,

Let them eat air…

By Alexandra Stylist | July 30th, 2010

This is almost funny…well hilarious actually. I’m so glad my cousin can laugh about it. There are 100 people descending to a secret Greek island to celebrate the christening of their one year old darling twins and there is NOTHING coming by truck. You see the family had hired caterers from Athens to feed 100 […]

By Alexandra Stylist | July 29th, 2010

Working on your image makes you remember what’s important to you. As I work on the content for my new site I realize that I have worked to follow these simple mantras/rules/guidelines.

Less is more…how possible is it?

By Alexandra Stylist | July 28th, 2010

So my intentions were so good for this years sojourn which starts on the island of Sifnos and ends in Maine and is questionable in the middle (more about my open ended plans later). My previous post ‘1 month 1 suitcase’ was a brilliant idea. I totally edited my clothing accessories, shoes, and jewelry down. […]

INSPIRING EVENTS, STYLE,

Bridgehampton Polo Opening Day

By Alexandra Stylist | July 26th, 2010

Attended the opening day of Bridgehampton Polo which is usually THE top summer event to attend. This summer and this particular Saturday there were 19 other events happening so it has in a sense divided the scene. My press pass was courtesy of Jason Strauss and Sam Ong publicist of Strategic Group who is working […]

Closet Chaos Restoration #1

By Alexandra Stylist | July 25th, 2010

This post is part of the DREAM CLOSET PROJECT in conjunction with EZarchitecture. Due to the sudden need to pare down in preparation for the closet overhaul (courtesy of EZarchitecture) I decided to perform a ‘deep six’ on my closet.

One Month+One (small) Suitcase =stylish every day???

By Alexandra Stylist | July 25th, 2010

Last summer I traveled to Greece with one suitcase. I thought I was being streamlined but while I was there I realized that in the future I could bring even less with me which might leave room for fun purchases abroad. I found that having too much stuff hindered my mobility and I often couldn’t […]

Blood, Sex and, Tears

By Alexandra Stylist | July 21st, 2010

Last week I attended a recent underground art salon (Les Salonnieres-I’m totally obsessed with them) whose theme was ‘it’s too hot for sex’ by the very talented event producer Adam Aleksander and foodie Jenny Miller. Among the offerings were free sex advice by Topaz Chanteuse, Polaroids by Ventiko, slaughtering and BBQing of a live chicken […]
