Yeah, I wouldn't say no. The model turned presenter turned designer also has her name behind major campaigns and brand collabs - AG Jeans, Eyeko and Nails Inc to name but a few. Beyond make-up lines and TV appearances, she also starred in the hugely popular Future Of Fashion YouTube Series for British Vogue. Articulate, humble and witty, I admire her advances in the business world as well as just swooning over her personality in general. Of course I can't help but point out that it helps if you're dead slim with a face carved by angels and velvet-clear skin, but she's conquered many realms of fashion, beauty and journalism here and across the pond, and for that I applaud her. Besides which, she really does seem like a genuine and lovely lady.
The praise keeps on coming from me though, as she has also released a line with Marks And Spencer, in which she has taken a poke at old M&S classics and released them under the nifty title Archive By Alexa. I first read about this capsule release in a paper on the tube and was instantly interested. At the risk of sounding like a premature granny, I love M&S. Putting myself at an even greater risk, I mainly love it because (although pricey for a student) the quality of the clothes together with the longevity of the pieces is really worth the price point. Needless to say I am dead excited about this project. Here are my personal favourite picks from the range...
THE HARRY BLOUSE - £35
THE ELSIE DRESS - £39.50
THE MYRTLE JUMPER - £29.50
I may or may not have gone and made myself a teeny tiny order to get me few of the pieces. Maybe. Hey, Alexa's stamp of approval is pretty convincing - and who cares that I have neither the long legs nor the effortless chic to pull these looks off. I've said it before and I'll say it again: is there anything this girl can't do?!
