Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
I won this eShakti dress from a giveaway thanks to the lovely Jill Seiman (creator of Glamamom). This dress is no longer available on eshakti.com, but this trompe l’oeil dress in a similar style is part of the current fall collection.
There’s a very subtle stripe in between the dots on this dress, which is custom made and fits beautifully. I also love that it has pockets. I love to walk around with my hands in them.
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 →
Oooh, so this is the eShakti dress you won around the time of my giveaway! It’s so cute! The fit is great.
Such a pretty dress! I do love a dress with pockets
I love your dress! It’s a flattering shape and color. It looks great with your bag and heels.

You look adorable! I agree with Kim too, it’s nice to see you in color!
I do really love how that dress looks on you, the cut is just super flattering, and it’s perfect with your girly bow sandals.
I would have more dresses made in more colors if I could, but the only one eShakti has right now is the trompe l’oeil lace… maybe next spring they’ll bring it back?
Very pretty! Nice to see you out of black :)
Alex, I love the style of this dress and so glad you won it from glamamom’s giveaway! It’s too cold for sleeveless dresses in Chicago and we’re expecting rain…blah.
