Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
Earlier this spring, Milly did a collection for Kohl’s and while I looked, I didn’t order anything when it launched. However, I ended up at a Kohl’s a few months later and picked up this dress on super sale. It was 50 or 60% off, a good find for something from a collaboration.

Dear Christine,
I really liked the colors in this outfit when I put it together. It’s not quite perfect though as I think the proportions are just a little bit off. This Marc Jacobs skirt is a lot of fun because it’s very swishy, but it seriously has a lot of fabric. I’m considering having it altered a bit because the fabric is like… just so much.
I’ve been considering having a lot more of my clothing altered lately. I dislike things that are too tight, so I often buy the next size up and it ends up being too loose… and then I just end up with a lot of clothing that sort of fits but not really.

Dear Lydia,
I go for color much more during the summer than any other time of year. Lately I’ve also been picking up geometric patterns. After seeing some fantastic Suno dresses earlier in the season I guess I just have prints on my mind.
This dress is a lot different than anything I have right now and not typical of anything I would usually wear in both its pattern and shape. I’m enjoying wearing it, though. Next time I think I’ll try it with accessories that have more of a tropical feel. …
Dear Kelsey,
Despite the freezing spring, we’ve had quite a few scorchers already. You can usually tell how hot it is by the size of my hair, which is out of control. I tried a new hair product that actually gave me really nice, defined curls… right up until I went out for the day. Keratin and a cut are in my future. …
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.
