I went to New York recently for work, don’t get excited haha. I pretty much lived on some manner of Asian food daily. First night was Chinatown and all other nights we ate in Koreatown. I got to have Pho which we lack here in Miami. I had crepes for the first time! Yeah I know, I’m a picky eater and have always nubbed my nose at crepes for some reason. Like my nails? It’s Rescue Beauty’s Recherché + a Tony & Tina glitter polish. I didn’t catch the name of the Tony & Tina lacquer because T&T is discontinued and it’s best not to get too attached. I loved the look though and the smoothness of the glitter.
Back to me being in New York for work, sometimes I do celebrity photo ops at conventions. Since I’ve been working with conventions (running them etc) for a long time now, it’s not terribly exciting for me anymore. I do like the travel (right after this I went to Phoenix). The actor above is Tom Felton, he plays Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter. Occasionally I’ll get my photo taken with someone we work with because I know my friends will appreciate it. I know a lot of Harry Potter/Draco fans. I don’t usually post this stuff on my blog, I’m not really sure why I just don’t think about it, I guess.

FYT: True life holy crap did anyone see my underwear moment, damn you street vent.
So bummed my Jewel Mint Coda cuff broke in my luggage along with my laptop returning from Phoenix. Thanks Southwest so much. At least Jewel Mint was kind enough to provide me with a discount code for a future purchase since they’re out of cuffs now. I hope they bring it back so I can replace it. They have stellar customer service, I must say.
P.S. Thanks to my blogger friend who took me to the Chris Habana sample sale to score my favorite cuffs. Love you!

June 28, 2011 at 8:13 PMOmg I love the glitter on your nails!!!
Ria says
June 28, 2011 at 8:16 PMI know I’m heartbroken that it’s not mine. I haven’t seen Tony + Tina in YEARS. So I’m really glad I got the hookup.
Xtine says
June 28, 2011 at 8:14 PMLast post. How the hell do bloggers always find empty streets to look gorgeous & shoot in?
Ria says
June 28, 2011 at 8:17 PMYou just have to know where to go I guess. I’m sure you know where the streets are always empty in your hood. For me there’s a street parallel to my complex that is usually dead since it dead ends. I’ve yet to shoot there because I’m lazy but it’s coming.

I love the quirky little details in your outfit like the neon neckline and the purple tulle skirt matching your hair. You’re one fun dresser you are.

July 1, 2011 at 8:38 PMlook at you showing off your convention side! and i love your little marilyn monroe moment too!
i absolutely love crepes…miss them so much. france, of course, has the best ones! did you ever go to that bubble tea place by Nova University in Davie?
Ria says
July 2, 2011 at 1:15 AMYeah the MM moment really worked out well for me haha.
I’d love to go to France one day and munch on some crepes among other things.
Haven’t been to the bubble tea place yet. I’ve been so busy since coming back from Phoenix and things were finally returning to normal when I got back from Trinidad and then I got into the accident. So now I’ve got no ride, just the rental which I’m not allowed to drive. :(
