Career Week: Casual Friday @ The International Vision Expo!


Last day of Career Week: Casual Friday!
Today I am recapping The International Vision Expo in NYC,
 where I shadowed Ruth from 10/10 Optics and watched her go her thang!
She is such an amazing business women, it was awesome to see her in action.

My mom sent me this gif and it was too perfect:

This was a HUGE event at the Javits Center in NYC, over 800 retail booths alone!
{A much different experience than The Loft on blog yesterday}


Of course the big guns were all there:

I thought these Eye Candy Makeup Readers were such a good idea!

 Ronit Furst was definitely a highlight of Day 2,
I got to meet the designer,
and try on all these beautiful sculpted & hand painted glasses!
They are SO BEAUTIFUL!


I love these clear ones!

Also checked out Mattisse Eyewear and loved all their patterns!

I must check out the Agatha Ruiz De La Prada boutique in NYC!



Tried on some awesome sunglasses at Thierry Lasry:

Ruth from 10/10 Optics picked up some of these amazing sunglasses

 I got the chance to meet up with Sam from MakeupforGlasses,
& tried on these COMPLETELY AMAZING Lafont sunglasses!

Thanks Sam for taking my outfit pics!





What I Wore: glasses- Faniel via 10/10 Optics, lips- Gerard Cosmetics "1995" + NYX butter gloss "Crème brûlée", necklace- Style Shop @ FIT, tank {under}- Walmart, top & belt- Old Navy, sweater- thrifted, pants- Gap, flats- Llbean


Okay, for an AMAZING highlight of this experience:
Ruth introduced me to Lafont!!
YES THE LAFONT
AS IN THE ORIGINAL LEOPARD GLASSES!
The whole inspiration behind this blog name!
First blogged in 2011!

I got to meet with the brand manager Kristin and we looked at the whole collection,
aka THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION!





I loved these glasses with the embossed metal leopard design:

SO many leopard options!
The original!

Kristin gave me two pairs!
EXCITED IS NOT A STRONG ENOUGH WORD!

I went with these two:

As I was leaving the Vision Expo, on cloud 9,
I walked to Grand Central to take the train north to visit my Nonni!
I have never been to Grand Central, it was so pretty,
what is the deal with Penn Station?!




Time for yellow bread!

I LOVE this Lafont tote! Thanks Lafont!
I am so excited about everything!
