Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
Wondering what things I’ve been up to lately? A weekend getaway at Cape May with some friends (yes, the usual suspects) is one of them!
In this post: Mystique sandals, J.Crew dress, Coach sunglasses, Charlotte Russe dress, Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrilles, Rebecca Minkoff yellow MAC, vintage and by boe jewelry. All taken with the Sony Alpha Nex-5N.
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 →
Oh snap, this looks like so much fun! I haven’t been to the beach in ages…should try to make that happen sometime soon. P.S. Blue dress + red lipstick = KILLING IT.
Mia! You should totally wear red lipstick! This is MAC So Chaud, but I’m not sure if it would be the correct red for you. Ruby Woo or Russian Red might be better. Or you could try the classic Revlon color, but I think MAC lipsticks are the best bang for your buck– long-wearing, not drying, and $14.50. I think only Clinique is cheaper.
Which sandals are the rhinestone ones?? I need those!!
They are Mystique! But be warned, they’re really really past season… like I got them from a friend who works at Intermix years ago, and only because they fit no one else.
so jealous
look amazing
i think i have those same jewel studded flip flops )
