Greetings? I don't even know how to start this blog post. It's been so long. I know it really hasn't been, but it feels like it's been awhile since I've had actually the space to blog.

And Just Like That

Are you one of those people where if you love something, you buy it in every color? Because I am. You may remember this blog post, which is probably one of my favorite posts, where I tell the story of buying a dress my Bitmoji wore (tbh my Bitmoji has been wearing this dress for years bc I refuse to give it up).

Back in 2016 Bitmoji dropped a collection with Bergdorf Goodman and W Magazine. You could dress your Bitmoji in designers like Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, and DVF. Coincidentally, that's where I first ran into this dress. My Bitmoji wore it first, hah!

Dressing like my Bitmoji

I'm taking strides into 2015 with a big, grateful, open heart. 2014 was too good to me. Although I wish I had pushed myself to write more blog posts, take more Instax photos, and get more cups of coffee with the people I love most- I truly am content. 2014 was a great year, and towards the end it became pretty busy.

Finals week was crazy and I had a short amount of time to deliver Christmas presents and as soon as I knew it I was on my way to D.C. to visit Rick (my dad) with my brother. We spent four days in Herndon, Virginia/ D.C. and spent a lot of time shopping, dining out, and meeting Rick's friends. I've realized that I'm not very good at the whole "Photo Diary" thing, so I apologize for the lack of photos. Luckily I am currently in Pittsburgh so I'll try to improve! I'm also back on the underrated barista grind a couple days a week alongside that. You can find me in Lacoste polos muttering curse words and hiding behind an espresso machine.
 
My parents spoiled me rotten for Christmas. Amongst many lovely things I got a Michael Kors canvas bag (I gave in, ok? I need a big purse!), gnarly Chelsea boots, and we switched cell phone carriers so I got the iPhone 6 which has killer battery life I might add!


Anyways hope y'all had a lovely holidays and had some time to relax with your family and eat lots of yummy sweets! I have some exciting stuff to share with JMC in 2015 ;) ! Cheers!

New York City was too good to me, but it's nice to be safe and sound back home in KC. Bryant Park, Rockaway Beach, Coney Island, cool Manhattan days, need I go on? I'm not quite ready to start all my unpacking much less the transition back into reality/my crazy work schedule, but I am excited to be back. I've missed y'all too much!

Recently some mutual friends of mine have launched their collection of urban renewed bohemian clothing. It's pretty safe to say that I have fallen head over heels for the "Village" look. Supporting the KC fashion scene is really important to me because we have so many talented people! That's why Village Collection is so great is because they are a group of many people like: designers, stylists, musicians, photographers, makeup/hair artists, etc who all joined forces to help create a rad project. Courtney & Caleb Fangman are both super talented, and their passion for urban renewal is incredible. I have seen many of Caleb's fashion shows before and his work is nothing short of awesome. I have been creeping so badly on the Village's etsy and also trying not to buy everything I want, but I think I'm going to buy the D.A.R.E. tank, the pleated pink maxi, and the maroon shorts. I just want everything though ='( If you live in the KC area and want to see their collection in person they will be selling some items at First Friday's this Friday @115 West 18th Street Kansas City, MO 64108. Will I be there? I would love to but of course I have to work =/
