Street Style.  Chic.  On-Trend.  Classy.  

Those are the words that describe Alex Malay boutique and lifestyle brand.  The brick and mortar store is based in New Iberia, Louisiana.

Alex Malay boutique provides customers with the hottest, distinct fashions.  In-store boutique pieces range from luxe Marilyn Monroe Pink Boa Heels to Elastic Waist Metallic Shorts.

Aside from the on-trend collection, Rochell Malay dazzles social media with her Street Style Look book. Rochell is not the ordinary Instagram update!  Her fashion palette ranges – “I Don’t Do Fashion, I AM FASHION”.

The Foundation Of A Fashionista!

Ever since I can remember, I was a lover of all things beautiful and always had a sense of style. I was the one who stood out in front of the crowd, whether at church or a birthday party or any event. Although very young, I always loved various vintage styles, sequins, and feathers. I loved black and white Hollywood classics of flashy fashions and striking styles.

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL SEASON 23 – EPISODE 5 RECAP

a·vant-garde

noun
  1. new and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them.

 

This was the theme for Season 23, Ep 5 of America’s Next Top Model.  According to the show, “Law Roach drops in on the girls to discuss the importance of personal style. Celebrity designer Nicola Formichetti takes the models out of their comfort zones and into the world of avant-garde fashion.”

There was the usual drama between contestants from wardrobe critiquing to personality clashes. Kyle, Giah, and Krislian struggled during the competition; wearing an uncomfortable costume (platform heels.)

Giah was asked to leave the competition due to her photos.  Panelist encouraged her to continue pursuing her dreams!

Fashion Tips with Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaner

Dry cleaning your wardrobe can be costly!  We love to wear cashmere sweaters, wool coats, and boucle’ slacks but the care for such garments are expensive.  One can purchase these items on sale but must calculate the price of dry cleaning in their shopping budget.

As a Style Expert, I always share that fashion girls (and guys) must properly care for their clothing to maintain a stylish wardrobe.  It’s more than dressing fabulous and owning several pieces.  In this day and time, we have to take our budget into consideration and be realistic about our clothing expenses.

Truthfully, I also like to mix and match my own clothing.  It’s a personal preference for several good reasons. Number one, I am obsessed with closet organization. Number two, I like to come up with various ways that I can style one item. Number three, I’m a mom and my shopping list consists of additional household products.
