Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.
This is what I ended up wearing on my birthday. It’s a relatively new dress, been worn a few times but never made it in front of the camera. I still haven’t decided if I like the draping thing in front of the skirt yet… should I sew it up into the waistband? Does it look sort of Roman or just sort of apron (although aprons are big at Anthropologie right now)?
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.

An LBD and a red pout looks most perfect on you!
I think the draping is interesting, but I agree with Lyddiegal. I’d like to see what it looks like with a big, chunky belt! Love the red lipstick!
Yes, I’m going to dig through and see if I can find any that might work!

I think i need to see it with a belt. the elastic and subsequent ruching over the elastic is giving me the apron vibe, but with a bold belt, i think the draping will look more like it’s part of the look and not an oddity.
and you look stunning with a red lip! you need to do them more often!
Yes, I definitely think I have to pull out all my belts and try them on!
