Readers!

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

Hair Rut-HBO GIRLS inspiration

READERS!

Can we all please agree that we love HBO's GIRLS? (Spoiler alerts ahead) I have a fan girl crush on Lena Dunham's writing and all the girls hairstyles in that show. For that last couple of episodes I cringed, cried, felt ashamed, awkward, and felt angry all at equal intervals during Season 2. The whole car ride home last night I kept thinking how badly I wanted to drink that bottle of wine on the fridge and watch Season's 2 episode of GIRLS. I loved the whole episode so much because it really showed the character's had redeeming qualities even in their weakest moments. 

Shoshanna breaking up with Ray after telling him off "You're older than me. You should have your own place. You should have interests, and passions, and things that you do. You get up every day, and there's nothing, unless you're going to work." After questioning every thought and action of Adam in the show he finally shows enough courage to "run" over to help Hannah get out of her crippling depression. Marnie is finally a real human and tells Charlie that he is an amazing person and that she finally loves him.

Here are some of my favorite articles about last night's episode:

The Addys-Kansas City 2013

Happy Sunday,

Last night was great and full of so many talented people at The Addys Award Show. Our wedding invite even won an award from the talented ladies Megan Collins and Andrea Morris at DMH (Diamond Merkens Hogan). It was so nice to take time getting ready Saturday for the award show and knowing that it would be spent with the best creatives in Kansas City all under one roof. My work 19 Below was a sponsor for the event too.

I wanted to do my hair to match my black velvet vintage dress for the night so I google Hollywood Waves and found a great tutorial. For my makeup I made sure to use face primer called Hard Candy, a foundation brush for my Rimmel foundation, Revlon lipstick and lip liner, and Essie Pink nail polish.

I need to find more pictures of me in my dress from last night! After a few too many glasses of wine it got a lot harder to remember to take photos. The event took place at The Midland Theatre and it truly is inspiring everytime I visit. The after party at Liquid 9 was a lot of fun too with balloon chandeliers. I will write more soon and possibly post more pictures that I find. Thanks for an amazing night KC!

XOXO
