• 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!
