je m'appelle chanel

I recently encountered the enamoring Emma York from Emma York Photography and we joined forces to start a creative collaboration that I am so beyond excited about. Emma is the sweetest little thing with such a fascinating story on how she became a photographer, read about it here!

I've had this leather jacket since my senior year of high school (2012). I got it from Nasty Gal and I specifically remembering ordering it in my grandparents basement in Queens. I'd say its been a pretty good purchase because I wear it almost everyday. My sweater came from a $1 bin from a clothing sale at my university that Liz bought me. My jeans are a pair from J-Crew my Dad bought for me last Christmas while I was on a quest for the "ultimate coated jeans." My chelsea's are my utmost favorite pair I got on sale at Target two Thanksgivings ago. I wish I'd bought another pair.
This beautiful scarf is from my sweet boyfriend's sweet Mom, Carol. She got it for me during her time in Paris and I wear it constantly. Monet's water lily paintings are some of my favorite pieces of art. Carol knows me too well, such a thoughtful gift from Foulards Cravates. I initially was hesitant about how I could incorporate this scarf into my wardrobe but it fit in seamlessly. Plus I feel like a Wes Anderson character when I wear it. Thank you Carol, love you♡



Emma suggested I try different ways of wearing this silk scarf so I decided on three ways.
First, around the wrist.

The bow




The bandana

I recently went to the opening of Kendra Scott on the Country Club Plaza, and it was a BLAST! I am lucky to be apart of the Blog Guild (formerly known as Kansas City Blogger Meetup) aka a group of gnarly Kansas City bloggers. Amongst the bloggers there are a few who specifically moderate and host these meet ups. Ultimately these meetups allow other bloggers to get to know brands and KC blogs better. This was my first event despite being apart of the group for over a year- living two hours away from KC makes it hard to get to all the events. Overall, I had a kickass time. I made some new friends, devoured some delectable macarons (the sparkly ones were the best), got my hair braided (thanks Parlor!), and I won a Kendra Scott Rayne necklace in gunmetal (thanks Kendra & the Blog Guild)!
If you are a Kansas City blogger and native I highly suggest you apply and join the Blog Guild. Many thanks to Jana, the staff of Kendra Scott, and the hosts of the Blog Guild.
