About
The Reluctant Stylista is a fashion and lifestyle blog written by Alex Lapa--the tomboy who suddenly discovered the joys and perks of dressing up. Original illustrations by Paolo Lazatin.
For inquiries, comments, invites and other messages, shoot me an e-mail. You can also ask me some fashion/styling questions--heck, in my line of work, I rarely get to dress up the same body type as my own! If your question is something that I think will benefit our readers, I will feature it in our Ask Stylista section! Click on the button below to send your questions!

Click here if you're looking for my styling work. Do visit my newly set up R.Stylista Facebook page, which will soon contain a lot more of my collaborations in commercials, advertisements, TV, fashion shows and even lifestyle, personal and engagement shoots!

I had so many photos of this show, which is rare. I barely remember to take photos whenever I'm backstage or working. And in this instance, I even watched its entirety! Usually I'd be so tired o...

We've been working backstage for the past couple of months on several fashion shows, but this was one of the few times I brought a camera. Anyway, Bench collaborated with designer Furne One to launc...

Last week, I attended my first Neutrogena event at M Cafe in Greenbelt 4. I was excited because I'm a Neutrogena baby--back before I even started this blog and to this day I still use their products...

I know about Bauhaus and Kickers, though I've never really checked out their stuff before. Which is curious, because upon closer inspection, these brands fit my kind of style. I love that whole tr...

Beach-hopping has been one of my favorite pastimes since college. Of course, being in the Philippines, we're always like 20-30 minutes away from the nearest body of water, so it shouldn't be a big de...

December is just a few days away, and I'm reminded that I've had this side undercut for almost a year. Actually, I've been reminded several times because I've bumped into three, maybe four people no...

I know I hadn't continued writing about my Siem Reap adventures, though I've always meant to. There's still a lot I want to share about how beautiful Cambodia was, and I guess, though it's been sever...

I go through earphones pretty quickly. I don't know what is it about me, maybe it's my mess of a bag, but I seem to always need a new set fairly often. That's why I almost never bother to buy expens...

I'm taking this opportunity to whore out photos of my beloved pets in my fashion blog because for once, they make total sense together in this post. And what's more, it's for a good cause! Last O...

Wow, it's been a while since I updated! I blame Nymeria, my laptop, for breaking down on me, and then finally, our internet connections not working on my dusty old PC. On top of that, the last two...

I brought my laptop with me to my trip to Siem Reap last week so I could write about the trip in real time. I wish I hadn't bothered—Nymeria, my purple Samsung NP305 now has this black crack runnin...
