A very overexposed photo of Grace Coddington and me last night at Bookmarc. I’ve never had a signed copy of anything before (well, a personalized signed copy). Totally cool.

Welcome to Letters from the City, a lifestyle photoblog.
My name is Alex and I have been blogging in some form or another since 1998. I’m a former Manhattanite now living the quieter life in Brooklyn. I like outerwear and red lipstick.
When I was younger, I was let loose in a GAP Kids one too many times, resulting in many of the fashion choices you see here in my photos. I also read, traveled, and took cooking and art classes. Art eventually led me around to photography, and to this day I do enjoy a good brunch.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you'll stay a while and get to know me. Learn More →

Jealousy does not even describe my feelings while reading this post.
Kimberlee VDW says
OMG why didn’t you take me with you?! SO jealous you got to meet her!
Star-crossed smile says
So cool!
Lyddiegal says
that must have been fun (and I love that nail color!)
Alex Elizabeth says
You definitely have this color– it’s Butter’s Wallis from Coterie/Lucky FABB!
Lyddiegal says
Haha, that was my suspicion and that is by far my favorite of the TWELVE nail polishes I got from fabb.

i really enjoyed grace in that vogue/anna documentary a few years ago
she seems like such a cool person to get to meet
you will have to review the book for us after you read it

Alex Elizabeth says
I didn’t even think of that, yes I will definitely write a review!
Mia says
How cool! I’ve waited in signing lines a few times (Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore), but not in a couple of years. It’s a fun way to spend an evening if you don’t get too nervous about meeting the person (which I always do, haha)!
P.S. I sent you a postcard from Chicago, but it went to your parents’ house since that’s the address I have for you, so I don’t know if you’ve seen it yet! Just so’s you know. :)
Alex Elizabeth says
It was very assembly line in there– got the book, get it signed, and go! Although my friend says they’re not usually like that, people usually linger and mingle.
Yayyy postcard! Thank you! I haven’t seen it yet because I’ve been strictly New York lately… I wish I had a permanent address in New York. Everything would be so much easier.
