Thanks for visiting! My name is Alexa Schmitz. I created my fashion blog to share affordable fashion and also luxury items I believe to be worth the investment.

I am currently an accountant living outside of Philadelphia, but spend a lot of free time in NYC (as you can probably tell from 99.9% of my pictures). Instagram: _alexaschmitz
