Despite having one of the flights from hell, I managed to get into town in time to attend the Total Beauty and Aveda dinner at Koi at The Bryant Park Hotel. We were served several courses that came out appetizer-style/family-style, in the sense that you picked what you wanted from a main plate, as compared to having your own individual plate. Koi is an upscale Japanese restaurant with flare and originality. I met numerous other bloggers from the beauty sphere, which was really great as I could put names and faces to blogs. I sat near Shannon from A Girl’s Gotta Spa, Michelle from All Lacquered Up, and Lianne from The Makeup Girl Blog. They were all such great company! It was a lot of fun to gab with some fellow bloggers, as well as meet our friends at Total Beauty like Stacey and Kristen. Thanks to them as well as Aveda for hosting such a fabulous dinner party!

After getting back to the hotel at 2am, I hurriedly unpacked, checked some email, and tried to catch some zzzs. But I was up bright and early, and I snapped a few shots before heading into Mara Hoffman.
