West 18th St Fashion Show - KC

It's almost here fashionistas. To my knowledge, the longest running fashion show in Kansas City...the West 18th Street Fashion Show! Recipe includes a handful of creativity, a pinch of edgy, a dash of wacky and a whole lot of fun.

This year's show is titled "Summer in Space".
“The theme really draws everyone in. Instead of a blank slate, it gives the designers a creative platform, and it provides a narrative for the audience to
follow," says Peregrine Honig, Co-Producer and owner of Birdies.

The annual event will bring together eighteen established and emerging designers, featuring returning designer Ariadne Fish, who has recently been gaining notoriety both locally and nationally. Fish, a Kansas City Art Institute graduate, will display her unique brand of powerful, avant-garde fashion. The show will also feature perennial favorites Jovana Mirabile (New York); Joscelyn Himes (awarded KC Magazine’s 2008 Best Local Fashion Designer); Peggy Noland (featured in Rolling Stone, Elle, and Spin); Birdies Panties and Swimwear Boutique located on 18th Street, and more.

“We’re honored that successful Kansas City designers who have been able to use our show as a starting off point for their careers continue to return to our runway,” says Executive Producer, Ashlee Broome.

Prominent local theatre actor Corrie Van Ausdal will host the event. Local artist, musician, and jazz ringleader, Mark Southerland, will be the musical director.

The event is free and open to the public, with a limited number of VIP seats available for purchase. http://www.westeighteenthstreet.com/

Relax and refresh with the Aromatherapy Tranquil Mint Body Wash and Body Lotion. Peppermint Essential Oil refreshes and combats mental fatigue while Rosemary Essential Oil improves thinking to foster creativity.

Boost your energy this Memorial Day with the Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Body Wash and Body Lotion. My favorite! Orange Essential Oil refreshes and uplifts to relieve tension while Ginger Essential Oil stimulates the soul and sharpens the senses.

My radio show debut

Here I am in the 105.1 Jack FM studio doing my new gig.

This is a lot of fun and luckily we're on a 20 second delay in case I say something that is a "no-no" with the FCC.

Don't worry, I won't quit my day job! But I would come back if they would have me.

Outlet shopping!

My favorite accessories outlet has hundreds of new styles just added and prices are slashed!
I love this earring/ring set, just $165. Amazing price considering retail is $416!

This is such a great color for summer and if you're not one who is yet comfortable wearing an entire dress with a bold color, start with baby steps and accessories like these. This set would be great with a white dress and gold strappy sandals. Perfect for a sunny day wedding or grad party.

Fab Friday/May Day

Happy May Day! As if we need another holiday, eh?
I can recall, with such fond memories, how my sisters and I would make mini baskets out of styrofoam cups and pipe cleaners. We'd fill with candy, leave on doorsteps, ring and run.
I long to bring back that exiting part of May day.
