Welcome to The A-List.

The A-List is a weekly newsletter about beauty, style, culture, and modern womanhood. It’s for the girl who reads the WSJ and also wants to know what skincare to use.

Part recommendation list, part opinion column, part personal archive.

If you subscribe, here’s what lands in your inbox:

Essays
Around 750 words. Personal pieces and cultural observations on being a girl in her 20s, navigating life, internet culture, and other things taking up space in my mind.

Beauty & Style
Links to products, outfits, and brands worth paying attention to. Here you’ll find curated outfit ideas, affordable finds, and the makeup and skincare on my wishlist.

Monthly
At the end of every month, I send The Monthly A-List: a roundup of what I loved, read, saved, bought, bookmarked, questioned, and couldn’t stop thinking about. It can include startups i’m paying attention to, makeup i’m using, clothes I bought, articles I liked, links to pieces I’m eyeing, restaurant recs, and other miscellaneous things.

So, who’s writing this?

Hi, I’m Alex! I’m a 25-year-old Miami native, and I recently spent the past year in New York getting my MBA at Cornell.

I’ve always been equal parts ambitious and deeply obsessed with beautiful things (i’m a taurus sun, leo moon, virgo rising IYKYK). Professionally, I work in tech & AI consulting, advising startups and venture funds on capital and growth strategy for consumer brands. I’m also an influencer and content creator, and have been building and sharing online for the past six years!

The A-List is where I write about what I’m loving, noticing, buying, questioning, and coming back to.

Happy you’re here. ♡
