Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
Dear Kelsey,
I decided to try trendy for NYFW and ended up combining the emerald green and American pastoral Fall 2013 trends. Emerald green? Check. American pastoral? Could have been better. It ended up being a hot day and I just didn’t have the patience for layers and ruffles. I barely had patience for my boots and the heels aren’t even that high. Flats for fashion week! …
Dear Katha,
It’s taken me a long time to settle into my style. And I’m actually not even sure that I’m done settling in yet.
I used to want to be on the cutting edge of modern fashion– geometric shapes, unusual silhouettes, shoes that border on the absolutely bizarre, etc. I bought tons of black clothing and sprinkled it with a bit of neon and some bold, bright trendy colors.
But… as much as I loved it, it didn’t quite fit. I like it so much on other people, but not quite as much on me. Something was off.
…
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 →
