Giveaway: Winks by Georgie

By Ria  //  Contests, Giveaway  //  25 Comments


Winks by Georgie is a fabulous eco-luxury faux lash line. It was created by Abbey and Megan Allen. Their lashes are totally natural and come in a really cute case. I’ve used this case to put these lashes on in the car. I mean it doesn’t get any more convenient and easy than that.

I’ve since become addicted to their specially formulated lash adhesive. It doesn’t contain formaldehyde, parabens, or synthetic fragrances. I recently started wearing lashes more often once I realized how glamorous they made my eyes look and how easy they were for me to put on with a little practice. Needless to say my eyes started getting really irritated with the situation, I mean I already wear contacts (poor things). Once I switched over to the Georgie Beauty glue my daily need for Visine is gone and my application feels so much lighter.

Winks by Georgie is dermatologist tested, PETA approved, vegan certified and made in the US. It’s a quadruple whammy. They have recently started selling the line in Nordstrom in addition to Neiman Marcus and other high-end specialty boutiques. That makes scooping up some of these lashes so much easier. I want to give one my readers an opportunity to experience Winks! Since I love them so much, I’m sure you will too. Deets below!

Guess Celebrates 30 Sexy Years




Erika, Me, Kelly, Amanda

Marie Claire teamed up with GUESS to celebrate their 30th anniversary here in Miami at their Lincoln Road store. The event was hosted by my friend and fellow blogger Erika Thomas and fashion writer Annie Vazquez. The event was a lot of fun, beautiful models, cupcakes, cocktails. The usual fair. 10% of purchases went to charity and you also got an amazing gift bag with any purchase. Seriously good stuff in there.


Daisy Print Jeans Marilyn Top

I was obsessed with this look all night and then a few days later I discover a photo of Marilyn Monroe Eva Herzigova in basically the same outfit. I die. I needed those jeans in my life despite not really wearing jeans and now I REALLY need those jeans in my life.

I kept it pretty low key with this outfit because I was expecting rain and didn’t want to be uncomfortable in something too glamorous. I’d say this is the perfect rainy day outfit and wouldn’t you know it, it didn’t rain. Wah, I took my camera with me but didn’t really take any pictures other than with my cell phone. Go figure. Too busy talking, shopping and stuffing cupcakes in my face. Oops. Another blogger took this great full length shot of me, Erika and Mayleen.

The Illest

By Ria  //  Outfit, Trips  //  32 Comments

I’m sort of obsessed with the idea and name of streetwear brand Illest. I love their logo so much that when I jailbroke my first iPhone I changed my carrier symbol from AT&T to theirs. Pics or it didn’t happen. I popped into their store on my last trip to Los Angeles/Little Tokyo and bought two stickers for my collection. Matt always says I’m so “ill” (not in a good way grrr) so he wanted me to take a photo in front of the store.

I don’t love much about Los Angeles but I always have to hit up Little Tokyo when I visit. This shirt is such a rich red, definitely one of my new favorites. I didn’t realize LA was going to be freezing when I was visiting and I didn’t pack any coats. Torture. So glad I had this little jacket with me.

A Little Outfit Extra

By Ria  //  Diary, Local, Outfit  //  19 Comments
Unif Meow Tee (last seen Wildfox Heather High Waist Shorts (last seen Jeffrey Campbell Climber Boots


When I blog for Kanon Vodka I usually don’t get into too much detail about what I wore. This was taken on the first day of Kanon’s WMC parties at The Standard Miami, before I realized how hot the week was going to be. When a pool party is the last stop in a full day it’s hard to revolve your outfit around a bikini all day. I made it work though. I actually got sunburned, me…never in my life. Ok so really my shoulders peeled a little but that’s never happened to me before.

Unif fan emailed me recently asking if I’d sell her this shirt, and I could name the price. No way jose. I love it way too much to ever let it go. Apparently it’s sold out which makes me love it all the more. Here’s a few of my favorite Instagram snaps you may not have seen from the week The Standard became my second home.

Sunday Polo Brunch

By Ria  //  Events, Local, Outfit  //  24 Comments


Recently I went back to my old stomping ground in Wellington with friends to take in a little brunch and the Nespresso U.S. Open Polo Championship at the International Polo Club. I had so much fun with Erika and Cece. There was so much food to choose from and it all looked so good. We enjoyed majorly delicious crepes and omelettes and endless glasses of Veuve Clicquot.


Laura Kaeppeler i.e. Miss America 2012 was seated at our table


Nine West Hat (Erika’s) BCBGeneration Dress Steve Madden Wedges

I didn’t think I had anything to wear anything I wanted to wear, remembered this darling dress, I used for a client’s photoshoot and ended up keeping for myself. It’s a size small but still seems a little big on me. I left the house with a brown colored hat to go with my wedges. Ended up switching to Erika’s because I loved it so much. It’s now deceased as apparently her doggie loved it too. We wrapped up the night at the after party with Cece’s friend Warren Sapp, but we all look terrible in our photo so definitely not posting it haha.
