Street Style // Sparkly Sweetie

just the right amount of 'current' and 'vintage'
make this look completely wearable, but with a smidge of novelty

we were, however, at donna's valentines day party
so, over-the-top novelty was completely welcome and lovingly embraced.
(we saw some AMAZING ensembles, people.)

i wish i would have shot more, but i was too busy sipping pink champagne.

Concrete Catwalk // Fashion Loves People!!!

boy, do i have a treat for you today!!! i'm pleased as punch to announce the newest sponsor of the concrete catwalk, fashion loves people!


dear janette is a fellow kansas city fashion blogger (she writes about living sustainably and with style - fabulous!), who also sells the most amazing t-shirts and fashion prints in her online shop.

g and i each snapped one up for ourselves last weekend at her trunk show, and have loved styling them in our own ways.


the best part about announcing our newest supporter today, is that i get to share the great news about a fabulous one-day sale in her shop, that lasts from midnight on thursday to midnight on friday!


aside from creating a fashion statement, here are some other reasons why i LOVE these tees:

• they are made of 100% organic cotton, are ethically made in peru and printed in the USA with eco-friendly inks

• each has been printed with vintage fashion illustrations by J. Kirk Davis (the original sketches were done in 1968 and 1971)

• proceeds from each sale go to Not For Sale, a hands-on nonprofit fighting human trafficking

find more info about the FLP collection by reading about their initial launch, and be sure to snatch yours up today!!!

*if you are interested in sponsoring the concrete catwalk, please let me know, and i'd be more than happy to pass along our pricing and placement options along with a media kit outlining our site traffic and statistics!

Concrete Catwalk // You Say Tomato

i felt so at ease and comfortably cute in this get-up.
couldn't figure out quite what it was at first,
and then i realized...

bright pink lips
never fail to make me feel great.
