While all of Chicago decked out in green and took to the streets to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, the Dolls found themselves doing one of the things they do best… Getting glam in the heart of the city. Caitlin and Dani visited one of their blogger friends, the adorable Shai Chung of Drunk on Shoes, as she hosted Get Glam & Get Going at Macy’s on State Street.
The shopping party inspired a shift in the season’s fashions. It’s time to put away black leggings and boots and bust out ripped jeans styled with a pair of open-toe wedge sandals.
Live models vogued the hottest trends in Spring fashion from top brands. Some of the Dolls favorite trend pieces include: Calvin Klein felt hat, Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply ripped jeans, Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply military jacket, Michael Kors eyelit dress, Karen Kane long fringe sweater, Rachel Roy denim jumpsuit, Inc International Concepts lace cold shoulder top and Lucky Brand fringe crossbody.
The activities at the event were unique and on-point including a milkshake bar, door prize giveaways, photo booth and a fresh twist on psychic readings with emoji readings (the Dolls’ personal favorite). Ginger looked to the history of your most recent emoji’s on your phone to read your personality and give insight into your lives. We were impressed with what she knew; pretty spot on with only the use of sparkle hearts, unicorns and pizza symbols.
(Shout out to our girl, Dani aka Mermaid Waves getting her emoji reading!)
Caitlin and Dani loved the gift bag which included a Macy’s gift card, Vince Camuto earrings, Benefit “Dew the Hoola” bronzer, Benefit Professional and philosophy “Amazing Grace” perfume.
Looking forward to the next event! Stay tuned…
Looks like a really cool event!

I am a major Macy’s fan. Bigtime! I enjoyed your images and am looking fwd to my next Macy’s shopping spree, very soon!
Macy’s is a great department store! Their sales are unreal. XO
Fabulous swag bag! Sounds so fun. Also, you had me at milkshake bar! 🙂
I know, right?! The milkshake bar brought everyone to the yard. XO
WOW that sounds like so much fun. I’m jealous, I love attending events like that at my favorite stores.
It was a great event! Definitely keep an eye out for events at your local Macy’s. 🙂
This event looks like SO much fun! I wish we had something similar around here!

It was quite lovely. Thanks, Ashley! XO
Milkshake bar? What flavors did they have? Love Vince Camuto items as well!
I know right?! It was vanilla and you could choose all the toppings you wanted. Such a cute concept! XO

I know! We are loving the girly tomboy look that is happening. What’s your favorite Spring trend?
This event looks so amazing! What a fun time! The emoji reader sounds hilarious. ?
Wow, what an awesome event. I wish they would do one at one of the Macy’s here in Boston!
Hey Robin, I would check and see if there are any events going on in your area. You never know! XO
You girls look great! This event sounds like it was so much fun. I had been reading about Macy’s spring event elsewhere and was instantly jealous there wasn’t one near me. Chicago would have been my closest option and from your pics it looks like I missed an awesome event!
Thanks, Roxy! You are so sweet. I think Macy’s is doing events like this all over the country, so definitely check and see if there’s something going locally. We recommend checking out the Spring Flower Show. XO
How incredibly exiting!!

Thanks, Sara! You’re a Doll.
Looks like a fun event with lots of great freebies! Can I be honest though–i have a hard time spending that much on a pair of ripped jeans — Just sayin’. haha.
Hi Brianna, There’s nothing like professional rips haha! We have used a razor blade to rip up some jeans at home and they turned out great 🙂 XO
Looks like such a fun and cute event 🙂 Glad you guys had a good time!!

It was really fun – we hope to see you at an event some time! XO
Love her look, and I can’t believe I missed this event. I’ve got to get better at finding out about and attending Chicago blogger events! – Katy

Looks like everyone had fun at the event. I haven’t been in a Macy’s in quite some time and I used to shop there all the time. Have to check out what’s new for Spring when I get back.
What a great event! I love Spring fashion, especially the jean jackets and long dresses.
I totally want the gift bag!! And i love that there was a milkshake bar. this looks like an event i would have loved

Super fun event! All the ladies looked so stylish and I love those ivory shoes that someone was wearing in the photo. You looked like you had a lot of fun.
Your blog so stylish and I also love glam. I would love to visit an event like this and of course Chicago. You are doing a great job
This looks like such a fun event. Lots and lots of style all in one room!
I know right, we had a lovely time! XO
Macy’s is one of our favorite places to shop. We’re in Kansas City so our style is a little behind the rest of the country. Still, they have fashion forward pieces for every market.
Hi Deb, Totally agree that Macy’s is a great store. Find the pieces you love and make it your own. XO
Macy’s are the best. Looks like you had an awesome time. Jealous much? yes.
Yes – we love Macy’s! They have the best sales too!
What a fun event! Every store needs a milkshake bar. 🙂
That looks like such a fun event, love it!
You guys look like you’re having so much fun! Makes me want to be there 🙂
Aww, thanks Kelly! You’re a Doll.
That looks like an awesome event.
You girls look great!
This looks like such an incredibly fun event! I love all of the fun activities and all of the colors. Also – photobooths are my favorite! A party without a photobooth is incomplete. I’m glad y’all had a blast!
Thanks, Tiffany! This photobooth was so cute, we loved the props.
Someone is going to have to chase me down and tackle me to get my black leggings from me. haha I’m addicted to them!
Bwahaha – we are in yoga training at the moment so feel like there’s an excuse there. You’re hilarious! XO
Love your outfits and that looked like a lot of fun. I gonna have to stop by my Macy’s more often.
Looks like such a fun event! Such an incredible opportunity. xx Merisa | Monogrammed Magnolias
