About Ty Alexander

My fascination for makeup and skin care reached its peak when my first pimple arrived. I was devastated. Imagine this – It’s prom night, you’ve got the perfect date, an amazingly gorgeous gown, and guess who’s come to crash your party. Yep, a huge strange colored pimple positioned right on your nose. EEK! My mother […]

No white after Labor Day – humph, I’m throwing that fashion rule out the door! Solange Knowles apparently agrees with me. She arrived at President Barack Obama’s Fundraiser in a stunning white and cream tuxedo blazer, a collared mini dress, gold sandals, and a Kayu handbag. The event was held at the 40/40 Club on September 18, 2012 in […]

Gabrielle Union may not be the Emmy-nominated actress she’s always dreamed of being, but she has parlayed her cute face and perfect brown skin into a career as a real Basketball Wifey and a gorgeously styled chick around the celebrity scene. She was recently spotted during New York Fashion Week showing off her almost forty […]

From the late show-goers rushing up the stairs to the Lincoln Center, to those extremely persistent event crashers sitting on the water fountain, to those 7am backstage call times – New York Fashion Week will be missed. Luckily we’re back at it again next February. As crazy as my week has been I’ve had a […]

Michael Kors’ Spring 2013 collection captured the life of the preppy 60’s crew with primary colors in prints and patterns showcased before a star-studded audience in the Lincoln Center. It almost felt like the Oscar’s sitting amongst Hollywood’s elite–like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. This season’s runway show was so far left from his […]

America’s Next Top Model winner, turned serial reality star diva, Eva Marcille stepped out last week during Fashion’s Night Out in Beverly Hills, Ca. She met up with her “Girlfriend Confidential” crew at Mr. Chows and partied in typical LA girl style. I’m not sure how I feel about her cheeks coming out to play […]

No one ever tells you the real story when you’re going natural. Finding the right product within my budget was my first task. I remember my first 6 months of ‘naturalizing my tresses’ came with a hefty price tag. $36 for one bottle of product that I used in one week – oh the struggle. […]

For years, designer Custo Dalmau has lived for bright palettes and architectural prints–his Spring 2013 collection was no different. Though it was an example of over-styling at it’s best, the runway was covered in palm trees, hearts, and flowers highlighted with pops of neon pink, lime green and tangerine orange. This collection is not for […]

Everything about this show screamed New York. From Biggie’s “Hypnotize” opening lyrics (“I put hoes in NY onto DKNY”), to the taxi-cab city life backdrop, to the models strutting down the sidewalk from outside the venue to the runway – even the run-of-the-show asks: What’s a New Yorker? Someone’s who ready for anything. Day to night. […]

I’ve got a feeling that Tracy Reese is having a pretty ah-mazing week. First she gives our First Lady, Michelle Obama, one of her best custom-made frocks for the Democratic National Convention, and then she ends her week showing a cheerful and energetic Spring Collection for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. MUST READ: The Best Of New York […]

Known for designing red carpet gowns for Hollywood’s top celebrities, Tadashi Shoji brought in the season with vibrant lace embroidered gowns and print tulle dresses in a variety of lengths. What I loved most about this Spring 2013 collection is the fabulous detailing in the garments. Even from my fifth row seat, I could see […]

If you are a fan of BCBG and have a few of those color blocked dresses in your closet you may be surprised, refreshed, or maybe even disappointed at their Spring 2013 line. This season Lubov Azria made a complete left turn and sent a muted palette of crepe dresses, chambray blouses, and gowns in […]
