About
The Reluctant Stylista is a fashion and lifestyle blog written by Alex Lapa--a once tomboyish girl who suddenly discovered the joys and perks of dressing up. Original illustrations by Paolo Lazatin.

If you're looking for my styling work, you can browse blog entries tagged "work" and other related keywords. Drop me a line and let's see if our schedules will allow us to collaborate! It may take me some time to reply, though, as usually there's a lot of other things I juggle and I need to be doubly sure about my availability and resources before I commit.

I realize I haven’t done any major blog giveaways so far, not even anniversaries. I do want to, that is, if I ever get more organized about it. At the end of the day, blogging is still mostly just a hobby for me, and it’s been a place for writing and chronicling some of my interests. I haven’t thought closely about making it into something like a community, but I’m always happy when I receive feedback that inspires me to write the next series of blog posts.
Whenever I read an email or a comment that makes me realize a lot of what I write actually helps out people and many of them can actually relate, I want to thank them!
So, for the month of July, I’m giving away a P1000 gift certificate from Chocolate Clothing to one such reader. Consider this a little token of gratitude for the help and inspiration. All who have e-mailed me or commented on any blog post, even the old ones, so long as the email/comment was written in July 2011, are automatically qualified. Our favorite email/comment, of course, gets this in the end.
There are some limitations, though: I can only send this to a reader within the country, as the gc can only be used in the Philippines. Chocolate Clothing stores are located in TriNoma, Robinsons Galleria, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Alabang Town Center, Rustan’s Shangri-la, Rustan’s Robinsons Place Ermita, Robinsons Runway Ermita, and Ayala Center Cebu.
I hope you guys still continue to read this blog and let me know more about related topics you’re interested in. I might be able to help or write about it.
Incidentally, Chocolate Clothing is having a major sale in Robinsons Galleria, so what better timing, eh? I’ll be sure to send the Reader of the Month this GC way before the sale ends. You can still use this gc for other branches.
I’m interested with most of what you write, esp. behind the scenes ones and product reviews of not frequently reviews products.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow. You know how to pamper your followers very well. Keep it up! A good bloggers are well loved by their followers. =) that’s why you never ran out of loyal readers ‘coz you’ve got a class personality and you are very generous. May you continue to inspire other bloggers like me. take care
I’ve only had one other blog giveaway before and that was for a SOLO shirt.

Hi there! I just found out about your blog a couple of weeks ago when I browsed through my sister’s bookmarked sites and I have been back-reading like crazy since then
.. I love reading your blog not only to get fashion tips and inspirations, but also because your posts are always so well-written- very articulate and witty! Honestly, I usually visit beauty and fashion blogs just to look at the pictures, but yours is one of those whose entries I actually enjoy reading. I just wanna say keep doing what you love and know that you have gained one more loyal follower in me
