Hi friends!

I went to Party Arty KC hosted at The Nelsen Atkins Museum. Here are a few pictures of what I wore to the event.

Bday Parties 2014

Happy Birthday,

Taking photos is tough enough but constantly uploading them to a blog is hard enough. I have SO many photos to show you and I'm sorry I haven't done a better job uploading them. I am still in the process of choosing the right template for my blog/webpage and should be done with a layout shortly. Don't be mad when you see the change in layout but rejoice with me for the subtle changes in JADATO. I've been a little MIA because I went to SXSW for vacation and decided to chill out with the postings. I need a vacation. Don't we all? 

I read a post lately from another blogger about how she hopes you realize what you read/see on a blog is the edited version. Boy is that the truth. I feel I can only be true to myself and you if I really post me; if that includes the good and the bad photos so be it. So here to being my true self. Those that don't know me reading this in other countries or in my hometown of Kansas City should know I am a complete goofball. Not cool at all but I do hang around cooler people than myself to you know "FEEL COOL." I think the friends we choose are the ones that inspire us daily through all the muck life throws at us. 

I love my hometown Kansas City. I toyed around with the idea of moving to a bigger city but really I am in the best developing city in the US. (My opinion of course) My friends are the movers and the shakers of Kansas City. The beat, the fashion, the cuisine, hell the true HEART of a city. Why should I move during all this lovely commotion? Enjoy a few photos from my close friend Sarah Nelsen. She is that fashion part of KC I am lucky to watch develop. Only great things can come from her and she moved back to KC. See, it's where those movers and shakers need to let our hair down. Come join us!

The Addy's 2013

Ohhhh parties,

I went thrifting and found two dresses worthy of The Addy's. It's a time for creatives in Kansas City to really dress to impress, walk around talking about creative things, and drink too many cocktails. The first dress I found really reminds me of Kirsten Dunst's Louis Vuitton dress she wore to the Art of Elysium Gala. The biggest difference is that I bought my dress for $6.00 and it is Jessica Mcclintock.

I plan to wear my heels from Windsor I blogged about a few weeks ago, the black strappy ones, and wear my hear up in some Audrey Hepburnesque hairdo. Excited to take pictures of everyone there because I should have my new camera by then. What dress do you like better?

Dress Option #2: VintageVelvet Black

reminds me of Jessica Rabbit

XOXO
