World Travel - Wild Thing Style

Travel Is My Kryptonite.
 
 
 
For the first time in many moons, I plan to focus on exploring myself instead of the rest of the world.
 
Migrating to NYC inspired me to focus on my career ambitions, sense of style & health & wellness.
 
The only thing constant in life is change, after all.
 
Change is good.

Please visit my previous travel blog to reminisce on my adventures: www.LexiWorldTravel.blogspot.com

Venture into Christian Dior and buy whatever you want, but most definitely a rouge lipstick.
Après dinner, go to the Crazy Horse Cabaret.

Arts & Culture


SXSW in Austin is hip...As a local, I love it but think it is a little overrated.
 
People say, "Come visit Austin for SXSW, but don't move here!"...
 
I took it one step further and moved to NYC during SXSW.
 
I do love Austin...I will BRB in a New York minute!

Style & Fashion Design





Elegance is the only beauty that never fades

Givency's Rouge Kyoto Collection
 
An object of pure luxury, fully clad in 22 carat gold leaf hand-painted foil, Le Red Kyoto Edition was designed from A to Z by the Makeup Artistic Director at Givenchy, Nicolas Degennes. We caught up with the Paris-based designer on his mysterious product.

 




Side note - I stay away from blogging about my dating life. I will say that the more your resist, the more the milkshake brings the boys to the yard. PS: Trespassers will be violated. Just kidding.
Don't get excited.

Consuming Mermaid Food in NYC

 
If you know anything about me, you would notice that I am practically a human experiment for how much raw seafood you can eat until you successfully get mercury poisoning... Specifically tuna sashimi & oysters.
