Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
This is my natural hair texture. Yes, it’s curly. Or would that be wavy? I don’t know. Some of it legitimately curls and then some of it just waves.
People don’t see it too often. Why? I had my hair chemically straightened in mid-May 2008 when I studied abroad in Japan. It’s now mostly grown out, except for one or two inches at the front, where my hair is longest. But more importantly, curly = air dry = forever. Straight = hairdryer = 3.5 minutes.
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.
