Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
I thought that this would look like a mod, 60s-ish little dress when I put it together, but… not really. Maybe the neon pink skirt would have been better. Next summer.

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 love the mid-finger rings, but I’m always afraid they’re going to fall off. Do you like them? P.S. I’d LOVE to see a close-up shot of that necklace. It looks killer!
Love the mod look and I am always a sucker for all black! cute! http://coffeebeansandbobbypins.blogspot.com/
i am in love this look
you totally nailed it

Oh you definitely achieved the mod look here! And you are making me wish I had gone to IFB, that necklace is killer!!
Kind of off topic, but you have beautiful nails! How do you get them to grow so long?
Nail hardener! I actually have very weak nails naturally. Essie’s Grow Stronger solves all my problems!
And of course, I’m too lazy to cut them sometimes… so they get very long.
No I love long natural nails! I usually use vitamin e but they got so brittle after i did gel nails.
Oh but I think it looks totally MOD, Alex. I really LOVE the top a lot!
Love the rings! It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn than Twiggy ;)
I think you’ve pulled off Mod quite well, all you need is a sleek chignon and a faux fur stole and you’re set (hmmm maybe I’m confusing the eras!) I adore your rings, they all work so well together!
I like the idea of a chignon and faux fur with this! Maybe I can make something up for winter, hmm…
Super cute dress Alex, I do feel the mod 60s vibe! Vest in yesterdays post is reversible and you can also remove the leather panel
I’d say this looks a little more flapper than mod, but either way it looks rad! I like how you have the small ring above your knuckle–I have a ring I’d like to try that with, since it’s a mite too wee otherwise.
I should have done longer pears and T-straps… maybe next time? If you wear rings only halfway on your finger they will fall off :( I’m always taking them off during the day when I get too busy to fuss with them.
I think you look mod – with the tiers and the pearls and those sunnies – it works.
Ahhh mini skirts and bare arms. The forecast is not looking promising for that to be a possibility again soon.
At least it’s not forecast to rain six days straight? That’s something.
I’m still resisting coats.
I know – but frost is. I’m resisting ‘real’ coats.
I wore boots today. I’m weakening.
WHAT? FROST? Don’t even… I can’t…
I think I might be hyperventilating. I’m going to wear pants tomorrow.
At least there’s no grass here for me to see the frost on. Otherwise I might go into shock.
yeah, that was pretty much my reaction.
i keep saying i need to move somewhere warmer.
I wish I could wear pants with pumps or flats without socks like in fashion magazines, and on other bloggers. but I know if I do my toes will freeze off. not fair.
