Welcome to Letters from the City, a lifestyle photoblog.
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 →

i appreciate the structured pieces, as i’d never heard of this designer before
elle sees says
I found the structure of these pieces to be interested. I’d not heard of this designer before!
Lisa - respect the shoes says
These pieces are so architectural – I love the “complex simplicity” in the design. Thanks for sharing!
Elle says
Alex,
Love this line! Love the architectural influence softened by the lovely muted colors and bits of fur!
XX, Elle

Absolutely love how the clothes are so sleek, structured, & clean lines! All the leather pieces are divine esp that grey jacket is such a must have!

The shorts suit is terribly cute, and that shade of green… do we call it mint, or perhaps sage? whichever, I quite like it.
Alexandra Shook says
Haha I don’t even know… the names for different colors of green are sort of getting to be crazy, aren’t they?
lyddiegal says
names for all colors have gotten out of control.
Chrissy (@CrashBeauty) says
Sage would probably be more appropriate, but it’s a different tone, so some type of sage muted color.
