Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.

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 love all the beautiful fall colors and how cool you were able to meet up with Lyddie!
cute & little
This really makes me smile. :) (See?) You capture New York so beautifully! Or so I’m guessing, I’ve never been. You really make me want to visit, though…
Definitely visit if you ever have the chance! New York’s a great city. I think everyone should get here one time, but I’m a traveler… I want to go everywhere at least once!
goodness, that took a while to load, haha!
So first, I like your velvet blazer more than mine (you are wearing it right?)
second, i don’t remember even seeing that wall of sequins at tjs, but I suppose that is for the best.
third, love your last shot, is it from out the window?
Yes, it’s the velvet blazer. I didn’t get any of the texture out of it… underexposed:P The wall of sequins is from a later trip! I was really tempted by a lot of the things, but many of them were mysteriously expensive. And yes, the last shot is from out the window! Taken with the camera around my neck and sticking my camera as far out as I could get it.
It is ridiculous how happy the red cup makes me! Gorgeous photos!
great pics
loving that green houndstoothish skirt!
i want to come to NY for Thanksgiving…

LOVE the herringbone skirt. It’s so cute! And all the photos of New York… would you believe I’ve never been?
Really? Well you do live on the opposite side of the country… but you’ve got to get here soon! It’s a great place to visit and such a fun city.
So many lovely photos! I really love the velvet and leopard combo in the first outfit!
Thanks! Velvet and leopard are big on my list for fall.
