Fall Fashion-Wooden Ships

READERS!

Instead of posting the  Chante Gossett III I have decided to do a little post of my new scarf. I know Fall is a little late showing up in Kansas City but it was cold enough that I could finally wear my scarf today. I LOVE IT! It reminds me of Burberry's rich colors, WAY CHEAPER. You have to check out the brand Wooden Ships. It is so pretty! I wanted to buy a few new pieces to go with this crazy bleached hair of mine. (Dark colors ALWAYS look better with blonde) I bought it at a boutique in Chicago for you won't believe the price.....$5.00! Yes, that's right. $5.00 BRAND NEW. It is the following 76% acrylic, 12% mohair, and 12% wool, and made in Indonesia. I have this great hat I'm doing a full post on soon for more winter/fall wear 2014. ENJOY!

Chanté Gossett-Part II

Hi readers!

As promised here is part II of Chanté Gossett's fantastic collection. Stayed tuned for part III soon!

Chanté Gossett-Part 1

Hi readers,

Chanté Gossett has two solid fashion shows under her belt; daydreaming of her next one as we speak. I appreciate the attention to detail that goes into her events and the humility her personality still displays. I'm waiting for the day she starts charging entrance into her events,  the day I can't even afford to go. Until then I'm still on the inside, I'll keep trying to get as close to her brilliance, keep trying to have some of it rub off on me.

Hi readers!

Just a little blog post of my new advertisement I was featured in for Bike Share Kansas City http://bikesharekc.com To read a little more about this organization look to the website and read below. My friend wanted my husband and I to pose for a few shots for their campaign which we were happy to oblige. Can't wait to see the rest of them and I'll edit + post more photos when I receive them.

Kansas City B-Cycle powered by Blue KC is a partnership between BikeWalkKC and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City. It is owned and operated by Bike Share KC, a 501(c)3 Missouri nonprofit corporation. We are the country's only advocate-owned bike share system.

Bike sharing is designed for short trips in the city. It is a fun and convenient way to experience everything our city has to offer, transforming the city into a healthier, more livable, and economically competitive place to live, work, and play.

Professional Fashion Shoot-53tom.com / Zach Bauman Behind the Scenes Fashion Shoot

Readers!

Here is a sneak peak of my first professional fashion shoot with www.53tom.com
My friend at Zach Bauman at http://www.zachbphotography.com helped take a few of the behind the scene photographs for me yesterday. I had NO idea how much work modeling was! I was wearing this heavy fabric, trying to focus on making a pretty face, and moving the fabric to take a pretty shot. It was nuts! SO excited to see the finished photographs and to share them with you all! Stayed tuned for a FULL post soon. The fashion concept was moving fabric and my version of the "little black dress."

I was out and about in Kansas City for work when I was approached by Ryan Sellers who runs a website called True KC. He's trying to get out there and really capture images of people in Kansas City. I love this idea and I'm sure Ryan is inspired by other great websites such as Humans of New York http://www.humansofnewyork.com He snapped a no make-up kind of day running around for work and I think the photo turned out pretty swell. My trench coat is vintage Brooks Brothers, my shoes are Missoni for Target, and my purse is Kate Spade. I have a lot of posts coming up soon and have a professional photo shoot of myself on Sunday. Stay tuned and go check out http://truekc.com

Crafts & Drafts/Jewelry-Kansas City

Hi readers!

I am a big fan of supporting local! In Kansas City we have a huge base of amazing artists right in our backyards so why not support them? I met a girl named Kira Terrey at a craft fair last weekend in Kansas City and loved her stuff. I wanted to walk around a bit more and come around for a few of her pieces. When I came back she was sold out of a few items so it pays to buy immediately at these things when you see something you like! (I don't think my husband would agree) I ended up buying the cloud necklace, and really love the originality of it, and the craftsmanship that went into making the piece. If you want to see her Etsy profile click here Kira Terrey Etsy.

The bracelet I bought from a different vendor but I didn't grab her business card :( I will say she was a super savvy business lady who was selling her jewelry, while holding her baby, and swiping my debit card at the same time. I had a blast walking around talking to the vendors and enjoying a 8-Bit Pale Ale from Tallgrass Brewing Company. Do any of my readers have any fun events they do in their towns to support local businesses?

Rebecca Minkoff-Halls KC Event

Hi Readers!


Below is the official event that I went to at Halls last week. I had such a fun time with my husband and look forward to more fashionable events in Kansas City. I hope you enjoy the photos from that night. I wore a BCBG pink silk dress, shoes were from Windor, and my purse is a vintage Dooney and Bourke leather bag.
