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.  =)

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.  ;)

Please excuse all the changes that the blog is going through.  I am trying to play around with web design so I am going to be testing it out here.  I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.  =)  As always, thanks for stopping by!  And please please please, if you like what I do, publicly follow the blog, follow me on Twitter and Pinterest, and like the page on FB.  Basically just click on anything you can click on.  Hehehe... <3

Hi everyone!  So guess where I am headed this weekend?!  NYC baby!  It was such a last minute and spontaneous booking.  LoL.  When I received an email for an invite to an event that celebrates bloggers, it was really hard to say no.  Believe me, I tried to talk myself out of it since it would involve finding last minute tickets, taking a day off work, and flying back into Chi-town at 6am then heading straight back to the office.  But my excitement took over and I pulled the trigger on this NY trip.  Thank goodness one of my bestest friends happens to be a New Yorker now and I can play my friend card and stay at her place.  Hehehe...  I can't wait to share my New York adventures with you.  I'm not cool enough to get into the shows at Fashion Week though.  Sorries!  I'll try to take some photos of the tents, which is prob the best view I will have.  But anyway, so excited!  Last time I was in New York, I ended up at a brunch spot eating one table away from Natalie Portman.  I think I froze and just stared at her until she left.  I felt like I was in a movie.  Hahahaha...  I must try to stay away from the Louboutin stores.  Omg someone lock up my credit cards!  Sorry for the lack of a Wednesday Wishlist this week.  I'm too busy packing and planning.

I want to thank everyone that has shown so much support and love to Drunk On Shoes.  If it wasn't for you all, I would not have this chance to meet more amazing bloggers and learn more about this world of fascinating people.  I'm so nervous.  Eeks!  I honestly don't see myself in the same realm as most bloggers since I'm such a newbie and am totally just stumbling through everything I'm doing right now.  I'm sure I'll just be stuttering and being totally dorky.  Yikes!  But I will try to make you all proud and be a big girl about it.  Thank you everyone!  *90 degree bow*
