#SelfConfidenceIs

How will you be spending your December 9th?!


Pink Slip is sponsoring our first ever ‘Pink Slip Winter Waltz’ where 30 local teens, and budding fashionistas, will take a walking tour of Chicago while decked out in their best prom and homecoming ensembles. We are spending the months of November and December organizing events that give Chicago’s up and coming arts community the tools to succeed by promoting self-confidence in young women. Starting the tour at 3pm, our group will make its way from 100 S. State Street to the 900 shops of North Michigan Avenue, spreading the word of positive self image. 

Owner Lauren McKeague and Designer Jessica Bohler have both graduated from Columbia College, worked together at various Chicago retail-based chains, and have made names for themselves in the south suburbs of Chicago at Pink Slip Dress Boutique. Our very own entrepreneurs are hoping to give back to the loyal group of girls who frequent our shop. 

  
We will be live tweeting our entire day so follow the hash tag #SelfConfidenceIs or tweet @PinkSlipDresses to track the day’s events. 

This Week's Jam

In honor of the Fun. concert tonight, it's only appropriate that we have been jamming to their songs all week. What we are really into is their song "Carry On" from the "Some Nights" album. We are so excited for the concert and hope they throw in some of their old school jams too! Are any of you going to be at the Riviera for the show tonight?!

This Week's Jam: The Gaslight Anthem - "45"

Riot Fest this weekend! We're celebrating with tracks from the Gaslight Anthem and we're going to give you a bonus track from the Promise Ring! Enjoy!


Gaslight Anthem: 45




The Promise Ring: Suffer Never

We Love: Sprinkles Cupcakes!

At Pink Slip we are crazy about cupcakes, but there are few tasty treats that blow the others off the bakery shelves! Those would be the little delicacies from Sprinkles Cupcakes! If you haven't had the pleasure of indulging in a cupcake from our beloved Sprinkles you are missing out on one of life's greatest gifts! You can get anything from chai latte to chocolate marshmallow to lemon coconut and everything in between. We are so, SO happy that we finally have a Sprinkles in Chicago. If you are downtown enjoying the summer in the city we highly recommend taking a walk to our favorite gourmet bakery. Located right between Michigan Ave. and Rush St., you will walk out happier than you knew you could ever be!

VFish Spring Collection Party

The members of Pink Slip took a trip to the VFish Spring Collection party on Thursday night.

"vfish is an elegant contemporary women’s clothing line based out of Chicago. Founded by husband and wife team Mandy and Tal Moise, a former schoolteacher and entrepreneur; the idea behind vfish is to create a stylish yet always comfortable brand of clothing for women. The timeless looks are carefully crafted to introduce new and innovative patterns while not sacrificing the comfort and feel of the clothing. vfish takes great pride in producing comfortable designer products that are sold at an affordable price.

The result of all of our hard work has proved to be a great success in 2008. With products in over 360 boutiques nationwide and our fully operational website store, vfish is quickly becoming the new face of women’s fashion. As a milestone of our achievement, we were proud to announce the fall grand opening of our flagship store located in Chicago. The Lincoln Park location does not only serve as the vfish headquarters but also the home of the vfish showroom, a place where the newest style creations and fashion products are on hand for the customer to experience."

Glass Slipper Project

The Glass Slipper Project is a volunteer organization geared towards giving girls within the Chicago public school system the opportunity to have the prom of their dreams.

Last year was our first year volunteering for the event, and we were completely blown away. The generosity and graciousness of everyone involved was totally overwhelming.

This is a really awesome organization, and gives you the opportunity to help out people in your community. You can volunteer as a personal shopper - helping students who come through the boutiques. As a personal shopper, you will be assigned a student to help her find her dress, shoes, jewelry, make-up and accessories. If this is not your cup of tea, other opportunities are available to volunteer for the event.

If you have not already signed up to volunteer, what are you waiting for??
