The Art of Gilded Living

I’m Alexa, and Gilded by Alexa is a space shaped by real life and lived experience. After 32 years as an international flight attendant, the world became my classroom, teaching me how people live, gather, and find meaning in everyday moments. Through years of global travel and formal culinary training in Italy, I developed a thoughtful, elevated approach to living—one rooted in intention, perspective, and care. Here, I share what I genuinely live and love: curated fashion and beauty, travel insight, thoughtful gifting, refined home finds, and meaningful recommendations designed to help everyday life feel a little more grounded and hopeful.
