BIG PINK STRIPES

Hi again!  I've been waiting for the right light to get photos of my awesome new pants!  A few weeks ago, I got an email from Motel Rocks telling me that they would like to send me an item from their collection and I was totally ecstatic!!  Little did I know how hard it would be to pick out an item from all their amazing stuff.  But then I saw them.  A pair of super fun and super fab pink and white striped pants!  I fell in love instantly.  The big bold stripes just screamed for me to make them mine.  A week or so later, there they were at my doorstep.  And by doorstep, I mean the area underneath our condo mailboxes in the hallway.  They were a bit loose so I had to get them taken in which also took some time and they are also long.  But I'm used to all that being only 5 feet tall.  The waiting was worth it though because now they fit great and it's been kind of rainy and poopy lately so I probably would not have worth them for a while anyway.  I didn't get them hemmed shorter because sometimes I like the option of folding them up into a cuff, so it was the good ol' tuck and fold under this time around.  If you are more of a normal size and not travel size like me, I'm sure they would fit you just fine!  I'm so glad the Hubster and I could finally get around to shooting on a day there was some good sunlight coming in so I could share these pants with all you lovely people.  The material is not denim and is super soft.  I am wondering if these could be okay in the office.  Hey man, they are not jeans!  LOL.  I think it might be too soon for these in the corporate setting.  Thanks again to Motel Rocks for these amazing pants!  I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them!  Everyone, please visit their site and peruse around.  They have lots of interesting and fun designs.  I know I've got my eye on a few more items.  =)

Also what do you think of my new hat?  I've never really been a hat person, but I have come to realize they sure are handy when your hair is just not cooperating.  Just be careful to check the wind speed.  I've definitely had to chase my hat down the street before.  Chicago is not called the "windy" city just for funsies.  I like the open holes on this hat.  It adds an interesting texture and design and is perfect for when it's a hot summer day and you need some air to get through to your dome.

KELLY GREEN AND PINK FOR EASTER

Hi everyone!  Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great Easter weekend!  Mine was pretty awesome.  I got to relax a little, see my darling Gracey who is visiting from New York, and hang out with my fam bam on Easter Sunday.  Things have been very hectic since I am trying to do way too many things at once.  Which is usually how my life is in general.  So thanks for being patient with the posts.  I hope you enjoy this one.  I love my kelly green dress!  I feel like this color is so vibrant and amazing but it is a little hard to find a dress you like in this color.  Lucky for me, I found this gem last year and it has been a welcome color addition to my overflowing closet.  It was a little windy this day so I was definitely glad I brought this oversized sweater/throw with me.  I paired the kelly green dress with my bright pink Chanel which complemented my new pink Chanel sunnies.  I really wanted a fun color for my summer sunnies and fell in love with the pink tones.  Papa DOS was with me so we decided to check out these cool leg statues that I've been wanting to get a closer look at on Michigan Avenue. These are close to Grant Park and I always drive past them thinking that they look so cool and wonderfully weird.  Thanks to Papa DOS for snapping the photos for me.  I have my last two days coming up at my current job then I have a week and a half of complete freedom.  I have already jam packed my schedule and am trying to get a trip out to LA in there somewhere.  Cross your fingers that the ticket prices go back down so I can give myself a mini LA adventure.  I also pulled the trigger on the PS1.  Are you all wondering what color I got?  Don't worry!  I'll show you soon.  The Hubster actually helped me finalize the decision along with a few very perceptive readers.  =)  Enjoy the post and leave me comments to read!  =D  And follow me on Instagram if you want a more constant flow of photos from me.  I pretty much post on Instagram every day.  LOL!  And I welcome all the Android users that are able to download the app now.  Yay!  The Hubster was ooooooober excited about this.  My handle for Instagram is drunkonshoes.  Shocking.  Hugs and kisses to you all!

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!

Hi everyone!  I made it back alive!  Snowboarding in Tahoe was so amazing!  The scenery is stunning and truly breathtaking.  Although the snowboarding conditions were not the best, we still had a blast!  I don't think I've ever boarded when it was around 45 degrees out.  The sun was beaming!  But yet there was snow on the ground from previous snowfall accumulation.  It wasn't until the day we left that Tahoe got a dump of fresh snow.  We were all pretty depressed when we saw these huge fluffy flakes falling down and by the time we left there was a good 7 inches of new snow accumulation on the ground.  GAH!  No fair!  Oh well.  I will definitely be back.  I'll dive more into my trip when I share with you all my photos taken through Instagram.  Unfortunately, I forgot the memory card for my camera so iPhone photos are all I have.  But more on Tahoe later!  

It's Wednesday and that means a fresh new Wednesday Wishlist.  I haven't really had much time to peruse for a wishlist but once I got started, it didn't take me long.  Really the first thing that grabbed me were the B Brian Atwood shoes.  HOT HOT HOT!  I am so ready for sandals!  The outfit as a whole just goes to compliment the shoes.  Love a good flowy top and the Rag & Bone skinnies are really interesting.  It makes me think of skiers for some reason.  And the Olympics.  Does that make sense?  I absolutely LOVE this yellow Phillip Lim bag.  Since I've had two trips this month, I've been toting my Chloe Marcie and it's been amazing and it just proves that you will always need one LARGE carryall type of purse.  I am loving this color and the buttery soft looking leather which also looks like it could take a beating and hold up really well traveling.  I've also been wanting a big statement necklace but I always get scared to try them on.  Maybe I'll start with this Sibilia one.  =)  The Moonstone ring is also really eye-catching to me.  It looks simple but not.  I love it!

Thanks everyone for all your comments and love in the past week or so.  If you comment on the Drunk On Shoes Facebook Fan Page, it will be easier to see my responses if you have any questions.  I just sometimes worry that when you ask me something and I answer that you don't necessarily get that I responded on here.  I also post some random items, good deals, or just fun little tid bits so please like and follow the Facebook Fan Page.  =)  A few ppl have already found some good deals through it.  <3

2.  Guy and Eve Trista Ring - $34

3.  Whitney Eve Lacquard Hooded Poncho - $135

4.  Current Elliot Skinny Jean - $168

6.  Madewell Chambray Shirt - $68

The reason why I picked this outfit was because my head is already into spring. I am anticipating that geometric knits are gonna be really hot this coming season. I also picked out pretty classic pieces like the chambray shirt, white skinnies, gold ring, booties, and mulberry bag because you can carry them forward into future seasons. I also think that statement jewelry pieces are a must so I picked out this gold, chunky ring to go along with this outfit.

DOS Interviews Oh Sweet Escape

Give yourself an "internet" name
This is a hard question! I would call myself fun police because that is what my husband calls me. Haha! Whenever he is having fun, I always around the corner to tell him to be shush and be quiet. My husband is extremely extroverted.
Describe your style
I love the effortlessly chic look. Anything goes for me as long as I am comfy. I am on the short petite side so I try not to wear anything with prints that are too overbearing and tend to wear fitted clothes. I love mixing expensive pieces of clothes and accessories with inexpensive finds. I also love anything sparkly and girly.
What are your favorite pair of shoes?
My favorite pair of shoes are my classic black leather riding boots that I wear just about everywhere! Can't go wrong there.
What are your must have items for this season?
Faux leather skinnies, loose flowy blouses, and lace-up booties.
What is something you always carry around in your purse that is non-typical?
Floss. Lol! Is that atypical? Not sure.....
If you could buy one thing fashion related with no budget, what would it be?
A rose gold Cartier love bracelet. It is so classic and I absolutely love rose gold anything!
Do you love DOS and why? (haha)
Because she knows how to have fun and doesn't take herself too seriously. I think everyone should learn how to do that more!

Thanks so much to Monica a.k.a. "Oh Sweet Escape" a.k.a. Fun Police for being my second "featured fashionista" on my Wednesday Wishlists.  I adore the poncho you picked out!  She always makes me so jealous with her beautiful California weather and her amazing cooking skills!  Please feed me when I am in Cali!  Leave her some comments on her beautiful WW choices!

Wednesday Wishlist 1/11/12

Wednesday Wishlist by MP

Hi everyone!  So last week if you read that Wednesday Wishlist, I challenged my good friend Mindoo to put together my Wednesday Wishlist for me but not realizing that it is no easy task, she couldn't meet the deadline.  Hahahaha... But she is not one to quit.  So here she is, with her own look put together.  I wanted her to put together a look because I adore her style.  It's different from mine in some degree (like hello... those shoes have no heels?  LOL!) but I love everything she picked out.  It is very much her.  I'm going to start having other fun fashionistas put together the Wednesday Wishlist here and there just to get a different perspective and style.  Plus I think it would be fun to have other people contribute to my little bloggie blog, right!?

1.  Theory Granito Dacia B Turtleneck Dress -$485

2. Cutler and Gross Round Sunglasses - $440 

3.  Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium leather satchel - $1595

4.  Madewell Braided Friendship Bracelet and Nautical Knot Bracelet - $6.50-$28

5.  Isabel Marant Jenny brushed-suede ankle boots - $580

Hi DOS!

Thanks for the Wednesday Wishilist spotlight!

Since this is called Drunk On Shoes, I’ll start with the boots, although I usually pair the shoes to my look last (sorry DOS!). These perfectly broken in Isabel Marant boots will go with everything, and I love how effortlessly cool they make any outfit. Yes, I know they look a little worn, but like wine, better with age!  The sweater dress is an essential for winter and can be paired with a belt, jacket, tights, boots, you name it. I will think of all the excuses to purchase a pricier item to make myself and wallet feel better.  Accessorize to your liking! I paired the look with a brighter satchel by Proenza Schouler which adds a kick of color and a couple trinkets on the wrist to play with for when I get bored.  Oh! and, don’t forget the sunnies for the bright winter sun!

Cheers to DOS and WW,

xx! MP

DOS interviews MP

Give yourself an "internet" name

MP (How original) or Mean D (Which was my fantasy football name), but still in the process of thinking one up!

Describe your style

My style is very moody... like the Spice Girls. I guess I'm all of them in one.

What are your favorite pair of shoes?

Since I'm in heels all day, my leopard flats or chucks.

What are your must have items for this season?

Cozy sweaters, Layers, Blouses and Lipstick.

What is something you always carry around in your purse that is non-typical?

Nothing non-typical because I try to not carry so much junk, but I guess a daily agenda. Most people have migrated to using their phones, but I like seeing things written out, plus I have a terrible memory.

If you could buy one thing fashion related with no budget, what would it be?

A Birkin to live in.

Do you love DOS and why? (haha)

Of course I love DOS! Because she has more personality than anyone I know!

Thanks Mindoo aka MP for the great look you put together.  Hopefully the boyfriend looks at this and gets some ideas for Valentine's Day.  Muahahaha!  Please leave Mean D some comments and eprops!!!  And stay tuned for more featured fashionistas!  <3
