champagne showers

(cape c/o: sammy dress, socks: target, tote: fieldguided, everything else is vintage or thrifted) 

I believe I have found a new favorite brunch spot and treasure-filled antique store.. all under one roof. Vivilore is one of the most amazing places I have discovered recently, and I can’t wait to take another trip back (even though I was just seated there yesterday). I feel as though I could spend an hour just walking around each room and admiring the many pieces carefully placed in their collections. I was invited to attend the first Kansas City Blogger Brunch, which is how I discovered Vivilore. The brunch was hosted by Hello Cheeseburger, The Adored Life, and Tulip (along with various other sponsors). The brunch was fantastic,  their decorating/seating arrangement of the upstairs area was the cutest, and I loved the handful of mimosas I drank as well.  I can’t wait to bring some friends to Vivilore’s back patio during the warmer months.

The dress I wore during this event was actually a nightgown my grandmother gave me a year ago, which she purchased from a thrift store. I couldn’t resist this print, so after she gave it to me I shortened the length and have been wearing it with a belt ever since. Although spring is officially here for the year, it still snowed yesterday in Kansas City.. so I’m still dressing like it’s winter, with thigh high sweater socks, capes, and dark shades. And that’s honestly perfect, because this chilly weather can stay awhile longer.

a hello, mr. rabbit pop-up shop event

    I am proud to announce, and invite each and everyone of you (well, I know the majority resides far away), to my first Post-Holiday Pop-Up Shop. Throwing an event and organizing one has been a goal of mine for awhile now. With the holidays ending, school about to start, and some free time over my break I decided to coordinate a pop-up shop. Local businesses/talent will be displayed, ranging from raw vegan chocolates to crocheted treasures, along with a few bands later in the evening. Oh, and of course some vintage odds and ends from your's truly. If you are a Kansas City local, or nearby, I'd love to meet you and chat with you here this Saturday, the 18th! 

    I have really set my mind on the fact that 2014 is the year I am going to "do it all". I am so happy to be starting out the year with hosting my first-ever event. There is a Facebook event created, and we hung flyers all over town. Although this is simply a trail run, which is why this is hosted at a house, I am really foreseeing great things to come out of this. 

    I also realized how hard coordinating events truly is, and huge props for those who do this as a job. I'd love to give a huge thanks to all of the people who helped get this organized with me. I can't believe it's only three days away, and I couldn't be happier to see how this goes.
