Country Club Plaza

Hey Babes!

I was in Kansas City for a week visiting my family and knew I wanted to shoot my pretty new OTS dress on The Plaza. The Country Club Plaza is a shopping district that was designed, and built in the 1920s to mimic Kansas City’s Sister City, Seville, Spain. These stairs are beautiful and represent the Spanish vibe.

This simple orange/red off the shoulder style is perfect for a day brunching at the Classic Cup or sitting around at happy hour at the Hotel Sorella’s rooftop pool area.

I love bright summer colors and I have going a bit crazy lately picking all my new dresses like this lol.

Classic Black & White

Hello Loves!

I am super excited to share this outfit with you. I had been seeing a lot of gals wearing white jeans lately. My mom had taught me no white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day lol. I becoming a bit more of a fashion rebel nowadays haha!

This fun top is actually a one shoulder top. I love the silky feel of the fabric. It is an online only piece, which can sometimes be tough to choose. I ordered this in a US size 6 according to the descriptions. It was actually way too big. I wanted to make sure the sleeves wouldn’t be too short (pet peeve of mine). I think a size 2 would have fit perfectly, but oh well another item for the alterations lady.

I really loved the modernistic collar area. I styled this top with my new Jennifer Janesko earrings. She is a local Kansas City modern jewelry designer. I am obsessed with these sleek long bar threaders she gifted me. I will link my exact pair down below!

This outfit’s accessories have tons of unique details. Check out this clutch and the metal border.

One Shoulder Top: Asos

Denim: Macy’s (on sale!)

Spring Dresses

Hello Prettys!

The fabric is a pretty pink brocade perfect for brunch or a tea party.

I spent the day at Park Place in Leawood, Kansas. This is a pretty outdoor mall with a park in the middle where summer concerts are held.

Unexpected Marilyn moment almost happened LOL!

I’m obsessed with the details on this fabric!

And these shoes….They go with everything!

Golden and Pine Event

Hello Lovelies,

A few days ago, I attended a Kansas City blogger happy hour hosted by The Blog Guild. This was held at a fairly new home interior shop in the Brookside area of Kansas City (think cute tree lined streets with shops and restaurants). The Golden and Pine boutique is a darling space full of soft afternoon light. The owner, Stephanie, is a new Kansas Citian who’s design aesthetic is brought to life in her shop

To my surprise, I found this cute little book by Maggie Bautista, whom I had the pleasure of meeting this past October during the Hello Sessions (check out the Oregon posts if you missed those!!!) Stephanie mentioned Maggie’s book had sold out quickly and she had to reorder more ( it is a book that has delicious recipes for sweet gifts). I gave this book to my friend Liz as a gift and the feedback has been great for Food, Gift, Love

The store is so thoughtfully curated. Items are displayed throughout, mindful of textures and colors. Stephanie has chosen to support local and handmade artists to fill her beautiful store. She has little signs near each area to give the shopper a bit of insight as to where their ” home-made” piece was created.

This store lends itself to events and workshops with many cute sitting areas!

I HAD to try it out for myself! So cozy this bench and all the beautiful pillows.

I ran into my friend from high school, Christina, who is a local graphic artist and photographer. Hey KC bloggers if you need a photographer for your blog you should connect with Christina at Art n Soul Creative

These little bites were provided by Heirloom Bakery KC located just up the street from Golden and Pine. The display was gorgeous (don’t worry this GF girl only looked and did not sample). There was a delish champagne cocktail that I did get to try—so yummy!

If you are in Kansas City or planning a visit–consider stopping and checking out this cute boutique. I am finding that the local creative community here in KC has grown so much since I lived here. I am excited to find out more!

So that is all for today. I hope you enjoyed my little story. Shop happy and don’t forget to seek out All The Prettys!
