Drunk on Glam

March 14, 2016

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.

Get Glam and Get Going Macy's Spring Fashion Event

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.

A huge thank you to @Macys for having me today and to everyone who stopped by and I got to meet in person! Lots of love to my friends who came out as well. I hope everyone had a great time. And thank you to all our featured brands @calvinklein @michaelkors @karenkane @rachel_roy @incinternationalconcepts @officialluckybrand ? // ? @leelimcollective // catch the fun on my snapchat ?? drunkonshoes #macyslove

  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.

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.

    How fun! I’m so excited for the spring trends and to shed some bulky layers as the warm weather settles in!
