RIBFEST CHICAGO

Hey y'all!  Lookit!  RIBS!!  So this past weekend was also Ribfest Chicago.  Did I mention how my goal this summer is to go to as many Chicago festivals as I can??  And how could I miss out on Ribfest??  Ribfest celebrates all the different restaurants in Illinois that serve up amazing ribs and piggy goodness.  Needless to say, The Hubster was a very happy man this day.  We tasted about 5-6 different ribs and all were amazing.  If I had to cast my vote, it would be for Uncle Bubs or Chicago BBQ Company.  So hard to choose between the two!  Both were finger lickin' amazeballs!  It's a miracle I didn't get sauce all over me.  That's probably because I had the hubby feed me.  Hahahaha...  

Not quite sure why I chose a white t shirt and light colored shorts for this event but oh well. I am totes in love with my Zara shorts. I've had them for about 2-3 months but they were a little big on me. And if you don't know me, I am the worst at remembering to take things to the tailor. However, this time I was inspired to try to alter them myself. Armed with a seam ripper and my mom's old sewing machine, I went to town. I'm pretty darn proud of myself because now they fit perfectly and you can't tell I did the alterations myself. Woot! Usually when I try to alter things myself, the outside looks great but the inside looks like a hot mess. Probably because I rush it and think, who cares what the insides look like.  Another reason I love these shorts?  Because it matches my House of Harlow necklace.  Word.  =)

Time to let out my inner Britney.

Sorry I have skipped a few Wednesday Wishlists.  I really haven't had the time to peruse around for wish items which is probably good for me since making these wishlists also is a gigantic temptation to shop.  I've got a bachelorette party to go to in Vegas and I'm trying to save my monies so I can gamble it all away.  Hahahaha.  Does anyone have any secret Vegas tips and tricks to offer?  I've already heard of "The Vegas Sandwich" and "Mr. Lucky's 777 Special".  Can't wait to give those a try.  Hopefully I don't end up looking like a fool.  Have a great rest of your week loves!

GLOW STICK

Happy Friday my darlings!!  And a special HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY JANE MEOWS!!!  I can't wait for your birthday dinner tonight!  Woot!  I love seeing my ladies and celebrating fun birthdays.  Jane, I hope you have a fab day and you get off work early and get lots o' presents and lots o' love on your special day!  Love ya times a million zillion!  I even love you more than I love these neon yellow pumps!  Hahahaha... You like that transition in subject?  Oh yeaaaaa.. I'm good like that.  So this day I am pretty much feeling like one giant glow stick.  I'm not sure how many times I mentioned that I LOVE neons right now, but I'm going to say it again.  I LOVE NEONS RIGHT NOW!  I had posted on the DOS Facebook Page and on Twitter and asked if I should get neon yellow or neon pink.  Neon yellow won so thanks to those that responded.  Especially Eskee who pays attention and knows I have a lot of pink stuff already.  Thanks love!  My new blogger friend LC has a pair of sick Louboutin Pigalle's in neon yellow.  I tried to find them in my size but it was epic fail.  Luckily I stumbled on these Aldo ones.  WOOT!  A fraction of the cost but with just as much punch.  Even though the shapes are different and duh these don't have that awesome red sole... sigh.  Oh well, it pairs so nicely with my citron colored blouse and my neon spiked cuff right?  Oh and yea.. the Balenciaga.  Let's not forget that nice neon pink nugget.  Best part of doing this shoot.. as we were crossing the street, a girl rolls down her car window while at a red light and shouts "Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl.. I loooooooooooooove them shoes!"  <3<3<3  Totes made my day.  Thank you who ever u are!

NEON PINK AND SPIKES

So this was day 2 of me in NYC.  It was so surreal to be surrounded by so much fashion and fabulousness even just strolling outside of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Faux Building.  =)  Yes that silver building behind me was put there just for Fashion Week.  There were so many incredibly fashionable people walking around, a whole slew of photographers and reporters, and tons of bloggers.  It was a bit intimidating to be quite honest with you.  It is extremely difficult to stand out in that kind of a crowd.  LOL.  But I tried with my pop of neon pink.  =D  I also am wearing this awesome spiked cuff from Doloris Petunia.  It makes me think of Street Fighter character Chun-Li.  KaPoW!  We were lucky enough to get in thanks to my gutsy cousin-in-law.  Hi Lisa!  She strolled up to the two security guards and shmoozed her way through, taking me and Papa DOS with her.  No we did not get into the tents to watch any shows but getting into the building was good enough for me.  Inside were tons of stations from the sponsors of the show such as Pepsi and Circa and of course Mercedes-Benz.  We got some free goodies, one being a hard plastic straw designed by Jonathan Adler which I am totally using to sip some water as I am writing this post.  Everytime I take a sip I think to myself... "oh you fancy huh? oh you fancy huh?"  Bwahahahaha... I'm such a nerd.  Thanks to Papa DOS being with me, I got to take some fun pics right outside.  Even if you can't get into the shows, outside and inside the building, is one big fashion show.  People are out in their best outfits ready to strike a pose.  Definitely going to try to come back next year... and umm... every year after that.  ;)
