YOGURTLAND AND FALL STAPLES

So I recently found out about the TARO flavored froyo at Yogurtland and it kind of rocked my world.  I absolutely loooooooooooove taro flavored desserts!  When I go to Joy Yees in Chinatown and get bubble tea, I always opt for the Taro freeze with mini tapioca pearls.  ZOMG YOMMMM!  But going to Chinatown takes a lot more effort.  So when I discovered this taro froyo... I was hooked.  And the fact that it's in my hood... ruh oh!  AND they have these taro wafer sticks as a topping option!??!  STFU!!!  Life is good y'all.  

These next two weeks are pretty eventful for me.  I'm coordinating another wedding but this time for one of our dearest friends.  Let's call this #graceyhak2013.  I'm very excited to be part of their big day.  And might I add, they are like.. so pretty.  No, not just SHE is so pretty.  HE is just as pretty.  Puahaha.  Don't believe me?  Well they were my models for the Gatsby shoot I put together.  See it HERE.  I am so so so excited to see her in her actual wedding dress!  Which by the way, she designed herself.  So bonkers!  I have such talented friends.  Of course I'll be instagramming the crap out of the day so keep an eye out this Sunday!  #graceyhak2013 gonna be in full force.

A few days after their wedding, I am off to Sonoma, California for yet another wedding!  Let's call this #hyunjimmers2013.  Super looking forward to this one because it is also a much needed vacation.  The Hubster and I will be staying in the area for a week then maybe check out San Fran for a couple days.  I mean c'mon, there's going to be wine EVERYWHERE.  It's going to be a great time!  I heard Sonoma will be a tad chilly this time of year so I am preparing my fall wardrobe.

Here are some of my staples!  Oversized sweaters, faux leather (or if you can afford it, real leather) leggings/pants, leg warmers, statement but classic shape booties, scarf, and sunnies!  What are some of your fall staples?  Also let me know where I should definitely hit up in Sonoma, Napa, and San Fran!  Thanks you sexy nuggets!  Follow me on Instagram @drunkonshoes cuz it's gunna be a like my mini photo diary during these next two weeks!

UPDATE:  I'm actually selling these booties, size 35 but fits like a 35.5 in my opinion.  Selling because as much as I love them, they are too big for me therefore I wibble wobble on them.  Email me at dos@drunkonshoes.com for inquiries!

COOKIN' RAW WITH THE BROOKLYN BOY

So I'm kind of going backwards with this post.  This was actually my LAST day in NYC.  Probably the best weather day for photos but the worst hangover day for the one in the photo.  By this point in my trip I was soooooo dead tired but I didn't want to stop the rock (inside joke).  One of the biggest reasons why I love visiting my bestie Anita is because she takes me to the best places.  I've already hit up all the touristy spots so she likes to take me to explore New York like a local.  I love that!  This particular day we ventured into Brooklyn where she took me shopping at a few flea markets.  On the way, I got stopped in my tracks by this awesome wall!  What an uh-maaazing backdrop!  Props to her for taking great pics.  I believe this was Williamsburg area.  The day was so beautiful and sunny, perfect for a flea market shopping day.

I loved the buildings and their very city style fire escapes.  Makes me think of the final scene of Pretty Woman, very romantic.  If a boy climbed my fire escape with flowers I would just swoon.  Swooooooon!

I made Anita get this hat.  So fabulous!  Vintage, great color, decently priced.  Gotta love finding an old treasure!

At the flea market, I got myself some awesome pieces for my place.  I always try to get something interesting from every trip I take.  Something I can look at that makes me remember all the awesome memories.  This was obvi too big to stuff in my luggage so these are being shipped to me by the artist.  I am getting one New York skyline and one Chicago skyline!  How perfect is that!?  The Chicago one is still being made.  The picture above is only the NYC skyline.  They are on reclaimed barnwood and I love the effect it has on the print itself.  The artist Philip Sachs also has an etsy shop set up for those who can't get to him in Brooklyn for his awesome stuff.  Check him out on www.sheepsheadnyc.com.  I asked him about possibly making me an LA one to complete my triad of cities that I visit the most.  Please try to support local art whenever you can!  It's a welcome change to my items from Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel.  

Haaayyyyy girllll.  Effortlessly sexy.  I wonder if she noticed I was snapping pictures of her and tried to pose a little.  Don't worry girlfriend, I totally feel ya.  Hehehehe...  Maybe I should be a street style blogger so I don't seem so creepy trying to sneak a photo.

We took the ferry back to Manhattan.  Wow what a view!  I highly suggest taking the ferry to and from Brooklyn.  It's only $4 and on a great day, it is a fabulous way to take in the New York skyline.  I'll be seeing you on a wooden plank in a little while New York.  Can't wait to share all of my crazy stories from my trip with you guys.  I had myself quite a fun adventure.

NAP TIME

AFTER MY NYC TRIP, AT WORK I FEEL LIKE:

I am taking a page from my favorite tumblr #soyeahduh on this one.  I had absolutely the most fun in NYC this past weekend.  I was there from Wednesday night to Sunday night and it was a nonstop bucket of fun.  From eating at all my favorite spots, to running around the city during Fashion's Night Out, to going to my very first fashion show, to seeing a celeb or two, to party rocking with my friends at Meat Packing, to meeting some of my all time favorite bloggers, to buying artwork at a Brooklyn flea market, I have to say, New York never disappoints me.  But I do have my battle scars.  My feet are crying, and I've got a few bruises and a ton of blisters.  But all totes worth it.  Needless to say, I am exhausted!  Add the fact that I was back in the office bright and early on Monday morning trying to play catch up to some state returns.  I definitely just want to crawl under my desk and nap.  But like any other insane multi-tasker, I must power through!  I have a few photos to show you guys.  Not a lot because teaching my friends how to maneuver a DSLR was a bit of a fail.  And it was so hot and muggy out in NY with rain mixed in at random points.  Very hard to stay lookin' cute and sassy.  Not that I didn't try.  Hehehe...  But mostly I cared more about spending time with my friends and having fun.  I definitely have some photos to show you guys.  Just be patient as I try to get my head on straight and back to my grind.  Hopefully you follow me on Instagram (drunkonshoes) and that is holding you over for now.  Don't worry, I'll compile those pictures into a post as well.  =)

xoxo
