I've rounded up a few items on my wish list this Spring. I included a few local KC artists, as well as some other items I would love to purchase. Enjoy!
February Around The Web
February is one of my favorite months of the year because I get to celebrate Valentine's Day and my birthday in the same week! This month also was full of wonderful inspiration around the web, and I loved A Beautiful Mess's Palm Springs Kitty Scratch House DIY. I need to make one for my kitty, Otto.
This month at Hallmark my team was busy working on Valentine's Day cards for NEXT year. I loved seeing all the heart day inspiration floating around the internet this month, as well as all the beautiful cards in stores. I also had the opportunity to visit KU and help Hallmark recruit interns for next summer! My internship sometimes seems like it was a long time ago, and other times I feel like I was just an intern – but I loved being back on campus and in the design building.
Personally, my wonderful family and friends made this one of my best birthdays ever. I enjoyed dinner at Lydia's in KC with my whole extended family, and a fun weekend in STL with friends. I also loved getting together with friends to watch the Oscars. Now here are a few of my favorite links:
Designlovefest and Oh Joy! both had big announcements this month!
A delicious recipe you should try
In case you missed this fun Think.Make.Share DIY
One of my favorite birthday gifts from Anthropologie
I also got a GoPro this month and can't wait to create my first video! I need to practice before I bring it with me to Italy this summer.
I listened to Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin for the first time this month and was fascinated by the episode with the creators of Making A Murderer.
Loved Jess Lively's second episode with Alex Ikonn talking about his new Productivity Planner
Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful week!
Chicago: Day Two
Day two in Chicago was spent exploring the Wicker Park/Bucktown area. I discovered some wonderful shops AND Jeni's Ice Cream (self-described as splendid, and I would have to agree). If you find yourself in the area, stop in Paper Doll, One Strange Bird, Store B Vintage, Una Mae's, and Greer Chicago. After visiting all these places we headed back downtown and stopped by Sprinkles, Anthropologie, and made our way to Gino's East for dinner. The evening ended with a walk by Macy's to take a look at their beautiful holiday window displays. Be on the lookout for a recap from Renegade tomorrow!
Statement Sparkle
I am always a fan of a good statement necklace. Here are some of my current favorites, these are especially great because they could be worn with almost any outfit. Enjoy!
Fall Fashion
In an effort to not spend my entire paycheck on new clothes, I decided to round up a few of my favorite fall picks on the blog instead. I have been looking for a new winter coat, and am obsessed with J.Crew's Lady Day Coat (I might have to splurge and go ahead and order it). Enjoy!
Back-To-School (Nine to Five Style)
Growing up I LOVED going back to school shopping, especially for school supplies. Here are a few of my favorite picks for the back-to-school season, even if you are headed into work tomorrow!
