Last weekend I went to Miami because I won a giveaway from Refinery29, one of my favorite fashion sites! It was such a whirlwind but Lizzie and I had the best time ever. The giveaway was a Day to Night Revlon contest so I got a day makeover and a night makeover featuring Revlon's new Custom Eyes eyeshadow palates. We also went shopping at Curve boutique in the Gansevoort Hotel, brunch at Angler's and an extravagant lobster dinner at Prime One Twelve. Here are some photos from our weekend in the city of heat.
I had such a great time with Anna and Connie from Refinery29! The funny thing is that Connie and I both graduated from Berkeley the same year and have some mutual friends in common. I'm 95% positive we've even met before. Both of them made me realize how badly I want to move to New York City. Weekends in Miami might be a lot more manageable! sigh can I go back and do this again, pretty please?
