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!

(My dress is Urban Outfitters, necklace thrifted, huge black puffy coat Steve Madden, and polka dot purse Kate Spade)

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

Colorado Springs, Colorado: Part I

Readers!

I know I know. I've been a bad friend by not posting as much as I should. I am still trying to figure out the whole working full time and running a fashion blog thing part time. I wanted to update my readers on selling my stuff on E-bay and so far it has been going well! My seller name is jadato14 so if you want to find something to wear that I'm selling shop away! I will be listing more stuff soon for sale and want to start featuring more men's clothing too. 

This trip to Colorado was quite a while ago but it was still so beautiful not to share. Some pictures of myself are obviously shot by my husband so I can't take photo credit. This trip was something I wanted to do for some time so I could visit my friend from The Art Institutes and visit Garden of the Gods. Once again I didn't pack correctly for the weather but I'm weird and get hot really easily so I guess I was made for Colorado weather. I have a TON of other events I have gone to lately and have been busy organizing my crazy amounts of photos to share with you soon. I'm going to split this Colorado post into two parts because I took too many photos to fit it into one. Lucky you, right? Alright, I gotta hit the hay. Stay beautiful kids.

XOXO
