village collection

I've always wanted to do a photo shoot in a library, is that weird? I think it's a mix between rebellion and nerdiness which is pretty much epitome of who I am. So when my homegirl Katie owner of Fawn Doe & Bello Foto asked me where I wanted to shoot I said, “A LIBRARY" in a heartbeat, so there we went. Our shoot consisted of way too many laughs and constant paranoia that a librarian would kick us out but luckily to our surprise no one did. We also shot outside and while laying on the ground I saw the moon through the clouds, that's why I named the title of this post, "Katie I Can See The Moon." Mainly because I kept saying it to her through many laughs. Katie is so incredibly talented and I am lucky to call her a close friend of mine. Unfortunately the University of Michigan will be snatching her away from me pretty soon, but we're gonna make the best out of the rest of the summer!

I am wearing a Josephine Collective shirt, Village Collection shorts, black oxfords, and these FLY Betsey Johnson sunglasses I seemed to hide from myself for 2 months. I'm going to have such a hard time giving up shorts when summer is over, but I am in love with these maroon shorts from Village they are so unique. Do you like this nail polish? It's like having macaroni & cheese straight on my nails I am wearing Nails Inc. Neons in Westbourne Grove. I love, love, love these photos that Katie took so much ='( Thanks again love

Katie I Can See the Moon

My friend Helen also happened to shoot me in another outfit during our last shoot which is what I happened to wear, on a much, less boiling day yesterday while shopping with my friends. I am rocking a Village Collection maxi skirt, black v-neck, statement of the art necklace, Harajuku Lovers wedges, and Forever 21 bracelets. I am in love with this pink maxi skirt from the Village Collection. I can see myself wearing this throughout the seasons especially trudging through university. I ended up not buying as many pieces as I'd like to due to my indecisiveness, but that doesn't stop me from lusting. Village Collection also sent me a cute little postcard photograph with my order, way too sweet. I hope you guys love their clothes as much as I do. I cannot wait to see what else they have in store.

Summertime Sadness

June 16, 2013

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 =/
