Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
Sometimes the photos you take and the photos you think you take are quite different, you know? I didn’t realize quite how dramatic we looked– me with my “I want to be alone” pose and Nnenna doing her best to totally stare that squirrel down. How dare you try to steal the spotlight, Ms Squirrel!
Yeah, we’re just a bunch of crazies. We know. …

Last week a few blogger friends and got together for complimentary cocktails and beauty treatments at the Beauteeze.com launch party at Wix Lounge. Beauteeze.com is currently in beta but as far I can tell is fully functional. You can browse and book beauty appointments online by time, date, location or treatment.
I had a wonderfully relaxing mini massage from in-home treatment specialists NYC Healing Hands that drained the tension from my shoulders in less than five minutes. …
Nnenna, Stéphanie, and our guest of honor and dear friend Lindsay (center) who has sadly moved away from New York.
It’s always difficult to send a friend off on the next adventure of her life, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be an afternoon get-together filled with light and laughter. And that’s exactly what happened one rainy Saturday in Flatiron.
We brunched on cocktails, a fantastic bread basket, and all kinds of fancy eggs at Punch Restaurant. Definitely added to my best brunches in New York list.
On Friday after the kensie jewelry preview, Nicole, Nnenna and I decided it would be a good idea to take some photos in Times Square. Or rather I decided Times Square was a totally perfect location and dragged them along with me. It was a little windy, but surprisingly uncrowded. It still weirds me out that there’s no traffic there any more. No more iconic photos of taxis stuck in traffic on Broadway. …
How pretty is this little bracelet? Generally I don’t wear beaded jewelry, but this was my favorite piece at the kensie jewelry preview party. Bright color, geometric shapes, and gold dominated the collection, which mostly consisted of necklaces and earrings. I also noted a few bangles and bracelets to round out some sets, but sadly no rings. …
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.
