Twenty.

On October 17th, I turned twenty years old! What a day. It was so weird waking up and realizing that I was no longer in my teens. I had a great weekend, especially because I got to see some of my good friends. I got tons of great gifts, and I went on a fun date with Quinn too! Here are some pictures from my special weekend (:

Quinn and I went to P.F. Chang's at the Plaza for my birthday dinner and I wore...

Black Lace Romper//Gianni Bini - similar one here

Camel Colored//Steve Madden - similar ones here

The picture we took outside was posed by a 13-foot tall Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters (my mom is a huge dork for buying that, but we all love it).

On my actual birthday I went to a new coffee shop in downtown Kansas City with my friend Frankye. The coffee was great and it was it a really cool area. I wore...

Rose Gold Opal Necklace//Kendra Scott

Dark Wash Skinny Jeans//Levi's

Purse//Kate Spade - similar one here

Sunglasses//Ray Ban

Oversized Sweater//thrift store - similar one here

Black Flats//similar ones here

Until next time...

KC River Market.

A few weekends ago, Megan and I decided to go down to the KC River Market on Saturday morning. We were looking for some fresh flowers and browsing all of the awesome farmer's market produce. Megan bought some flowers, but surprisingly I didn't buy anything this time. Usually there are a lot more options, but since it was still late February, a lot of my favorite things aren't in season quite yet. However, it was a gorgeous February(!) afternoon, and Megan and I made sure to document it. 

We took lots of pictures by the white brick wall near the River Market, just around the corner from Quay Coffee. I highly recommend any photographers looking for a random background to take pics against this wall (the pictures always turn out great!). The River Market is kind of a mix between a Farmer's Market and a flea market, but well worth the journey into the city. Hope you enjoy all of our pictures, and if you've never been to the River Market in KC, you should definitely check it out on your next free Saturday morning. There's lots of little shops to discover. I promise you won't be disappointed!

First Friday's

Two weekends ago, I went to First Friday's in Kansas City with my best friend Lexy. We had so much fun and I was super glad we got to hang out since we hadn't seen each other in a while. We started out by driving down to the West Bottoms in downtown KC. We grabbed some coffee and a cookie from the CoffeeCakeKC food truck (which was so yummy) and then we hit up some of our favorite shops. My favorites include Bella Patina, Good Juju, and TopHat Mercantile. We shopped around and looked at some cute vintage finds. Surprisingly I didn't buy anything, but Lexy found a couple of things, including a really cute camel-colored dress! Afterwards we tried to go to Westport to get some coffee or drinks at Tea Drops, but parking was a mess so we just decided to go back to Lee's Summit. We ended up grabbing lunch at Mint Sushi (my fave) and finished the day off from there.

If you've never gotten a chance to go to First Friday's I strongly encourage you to go and check it out, especially if you live in the KC area. If you aren't from Kansas City, you should definitely put it on your list of things to do for your next weekend getaway! You would be surprised by all of the great little places and restaurants you can find in KC.

That's all for today!
