Normally, I like Elle Fanning's outfits. I respect her as a budding fashionista who takes risks and has no fear when it comes to finding her personal style. 

Which is why I am going to attempt to go easy on Miss Fanning though it will be difficult, because this dress is a trainwreck.
 

It's almost like an old timey porcelain doll's dress that has been made for a full grown human...

Come mid-January, my skin is screaming for a little TLC. It needs some extra special attention with the cold weather, snow, wind, sleet and rain. Not to mention the fact that it's still in recovery from the holiday season. 

To make sure that I treat it right (so it doesn't rebel in mean breakouts), I turn to face masks. Whether I'm looking for some intensive moisturization or maybe...

With the holidays behind us, the work piling up and our New Year's resolutions looming over us, I think we all need a bit of a break. So, sit back and take a quick moment to enter in some contests so you can have a chance at winning some amazing prizes.

What amazing prizes? Well, that is a secret, but what I can tell you is that there are two prize packs up for grabs and  both are full of...

Overindulging is a well known holiday tradition, right? Only, after the holidays are done, Present Alexandra is not such a fan of Past Alexandra's decision to observe that tradition. I don't know about you but I don't think I can look at another plate of turkey. Or mashed potatoes. Or stuffing. And please, don't even offer me any sort of chocolate or cake. 

To help get...

What's with winter and black? It's like as soon as the cold weather hits, we all collectively put away anything pastel or bright and instead opt for greys, blacks and the occasional white. Wearing all those dark colours seriously gets me in a funk. I am fairly certain that S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder) is in part caused by winter wardrobes. Besides, who was this (clearly awful)...

New years resolution time is here and I'm going to bet that at the top of many of our lists is 'exercise'. I know it's at the top of mine. Only problem is, I hate running (and by default, all forms of exercise). I fear that this will most likely never change. So my only course of action is to really try and come up with new ways of motivating myself. 

It takes a lot to get me...

With all the beauty products out there, I admit that sometimes I find myself in a state of beauty ennui. It all gets to be the same after a while. Hydrating cleanser? Yawn. Been there, done that. It takes something really interesting and special to wake me up from this beauty product fatigue. With the new year upon us, I've been searching out new skincare products to shake up (and...

I will admit, though I'm not a fan of Demi Lovato, whenever I see her on the red carpet I admire her. She's pretty fearless in her fashion choices and (while I don't have it on any real authority) I get the feeling that she genuinely loves and enjoys whatever she's wearing. So even if she doesn't always look amazing, for the most part I forgive her.

But this time I am drawing...

Oh 2012, you were indeed good to us. Not only did you provide some seriously sexy eye candy, but you also gave us the unexpected news of a Kimye baby at the very last minute. Those scrumptious delights (hello, Magic Mike anyone?) and baby madness aside, 2012 was also the year of drastic celeb hair makeovers. Celebrities were switching colours, chopping it all off or changing it up to suit...

Goodbye 2012 and Hello 2013! 

Someone once told me (and I hope that whoever it is doesn't read this because for the life of me, I cannot remember who exactly it was) that at the beginning of every new year, if you can look back and say, 'What the heck was I thinking?' then you've lived an excellent year. 

Looking back and shaking your head means that you've evolved,...
