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?

XOXO

HALLOWEEN 2013

Hi readers!

What are you going for as Halloween starts tomorrow? I went as Mother Nature for a few parties already and had a different reaction to a my costume. I had some random stranger at Mini Bar come up to me and tell me he didn't agree with my FAUX fur coat for my costume. I told him it wasn't real fur and that I didn't see what his problem was since FAUX fur is made out of fine acrylic fibers with no actual animal hair in it. To each their own I guess.. (BTW-I built my leaf head dress from Dollar Tree Silk Flowers if you were wondering and my dress is Laundry by Shelli Segal from 1/2 of 1/2 store)

SO I am thinking about wearing something else tomorrow to the other Halloween parties my friends are throwing. Here are a few pictures from my costume and a few fun pictures from an advertising party I went to with friends a couple of weeks ago. I will have a lot of nice posts coming up soon and have a ton of photo editing to work on tonight. Yea for large glasses of wine and watching Hocus Pocus on Netflix. Am I right? Be safe friends and have a fun Halloween tomorrow!

 

 

 

 

   

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.
