Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
I haven’t been taking many photos lately, but I have stepped up my selfie game. It’s been a cold October, so for the fall wedding of the weekend I wore a wool coat over my dress. I almost wore boots under the dress. It was cold enough that it would have been a good idea.

Just some clouds and sunsets and the end of summer. Let’s hope for a beautifully balmy fall so we can all catch a few more sunsets.

I take a lot of photos because I like to keep them around as memories. However, I never seem to look back through them as often as I think I will (or as often as I would like).
And as my memory gets longer, events tend to blur together. Did that happen a year ago? Three? Five?
…Ten?

A breezy, beachy weekend filled with food and sand. I always appreciate time to travel and spend outdoors during the summer. Only thing you have to worry about is the sunburn. I’m out of my favorite Neutrogena Dry-Touch, but a while ago I got a sample of Supergoop’s mineral sunscreen in a gift bag and it worked well for me.
I had a serious red, white and blue theme going on… so much that during the day I even wore pink lipstick instead of my usual red. For a lot of occasions I do like pink more than red during the summer. Pink always seems more fresh and modern to me on a hot summer day.
Hope you enjoy all of my photos!

Recently had a bit of a weekend getaway. It involved a bit of food, wine, and some utterly crazy painting.

Hope your June is off to a great start! It’s officially wedding season (and this year it’ll be a busy one for me) but I’m trying to take some time for myself, too. Here are a few snapshots from a recent weekend.

The weather finally seems to be taking a turn for the better in the Northeast. I hope you had a good weekend and got outside for a bit of sunshine. It felt good to open all the windows and let the light flood in.
Winter has been unusually long. I think the extreme weather contributed to my general feelings of malaise– I even caught a cold, which I don’t think has happened in fifteen years.
I’m glad to see a few signs of spring.

I hope your December’s been very merry. To remind myself of all the great things that happened in 2014, I looked through all of my photos from this year. Here’s a selection of my favorites.
Happy New Year! See you on the other side.

Dear Mia,
I hope you’re having a fantastic summer! The past few days have been very hot, and today was exceptionally rainy. It’s been very nice lately, though, so I can’t complain.
Summer is supposed to be a time for a bit of relaxation, but it seems as if there’s always so much to do. Run here, run there… I’m consciously trying to plan the next few months so that I’m not even more worn out by the end of September. I think I need the rest.
The next few photos are from a beach trip. And may or may not include a puppy.

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 →
