Alexi's Closet: All Dressed Up

by
Trish Bendix

This week, Alexi takes the first step in preparing for a black-tie event: Deciding on a dress.

Alexi will be honored on Jan. 24th, at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's annual fundraiser/ball. In this four-part continuation, we will watch as she progresses in completing her ensemble. In part one, she also asks our help in picking out the shoes.

Alexi's Closet: All Dressed Up (Episode 13)

Check out Alexi at MySpace.com/AlexiM, and check back next Wednesday for a new episode.

    loved the new blog.....has it been 13 episodes already?  geez, time flies when you are you talking fashion.

    as for the shoes,  i vote for the manolo's!  i think the rhinestone detail gives it that extra bit of 'glam'....the louboutins are great, however for a formal event definately the manolo's are the way to go!

    question,  if this voting results in a tie,  will you wear two different shoes????

    I like all the shoes, but I think the Christian Louboutins compliment the dress the best.

    shoes in 1st place, 2nd place the Monola B's.  I'd like to veto the gold shoes.

     First and foremost, congratulations on being honored for your hard work in regard to juvenile diabetes!  You and your family must be very proud. :)

    As for the dress, the lighting makes it kind of difficult to see your dress in detail, which is unfortunate because I'm sure it is beautiful.  I also think the shade/fit of the runner-up Galliano dress complements you very well.  

    My shoe pick?:  your new Louboutin slingbacks are definitely the way to go!

    Hello Alexi, i've been watching your blog with much interest and i'm wondering:  as a fashionista do you find a huge difference between european fashion and american fashion, i mean if you lived in Europe do you think you'd wear the same kind of clothes or would you have to "adjust" to your european environment? i'm asking this because i am french and some of the clothes you show i rarely see over here and i'm sure that the same is true the other way around...what's your thought about it? ..oh god! i hope i don't "sound" like a pompous journalist...which i'm not ( a journalist nor pompous)

     

    Also i love the dress that you chose to wear...very classy ;) and i'd definitely pick the Christian Louboutins shoes simply because it's an important event , one that doesn't call for something funky (the golden shoes) and your favourite ones are way too "oscars-like, so simple but elegant is the way to go IMHO.

    One last thing, you have a great dry sense of humour and your cheekiness is really refreshing...keep it up :)..oh and i forgot i also want to know the name of your infatuation..ahahaha

    That's a good question :)

    You know, I think every place.. every country.. is unique. I've been to England, France, and Italy.. and they all seem to have a different look. Similar.. but different. Haha. I actually think the fashion in Europe seems to take a few more risks. If I lived in Europe, I wouldn't abandon the American style but I would definitely integrate them both into my wardrobe.

    I'm saying the same as most of the others - the Louboutins are the best, although I think either of the first 2 pairs (not the gold ones) would look great :)

    I also want to know your secret crush!

    Hi there!

    I just wanted to say that I love your vlog. I just like the fact that you disprove that lesbians can't have style. :) As for the shoes, I would go for the Manolo Blahnik's, because they are very classy. I like the Louboutins as well, but with such a long dress, you can only see a toe, which looked a bit funny to me.

    And of course, congratulations on being chosen by the foundation!
