Holiday Party Time

November 26, 2014

The holiday season has begun. I attended my first party this past Friday. It is a grand affair every year and my companies biggest fundraising event. Me, Gab, and Jen spent the day assisting with the set up of the event. There were bars to stock, and tables to decorate. Gift bags to stuff and raffle items to display. We finished setting up and headed straight to get ready with a visit to Parlor KC to have a blow out and then off to Halls Chanel counter for a makeover. It was an extremely long day and we were on our feet for 12 hours straight... but ohhh so fun!

I started to decorate for Christmas earlier than usual this year. I never decorate before Thanksgiving, but this year I knew I would come home on Sunday and be rushed to decorate so I put my tree up but will not turn on the lights until the Sunday after Thanksgiving. My pretty tree sits quietly in the dark just waiting to shine!!!! The girls and I attended a DIY workshop and will be sharing my finished project next week, but here is a peek at what I am up to!! I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving and enjoy quality time with your family. With all the unrest happening around the world right now we need to remember to be the change we want to see in the world. Pay something forward this week and hopefully start a chain reaction of kindness.

Tunics Boots & Scarfs

November 19, 2014

Fall

I was dying for the weather to turn cool enough to justify pulling out my boots. Well it turned cold alright. Many days not getting any warmer than 30 and at night dipping into the low teens. I know come January I will be wishing it was sandal weather again.... we're never happy with the season are we? Halloween is over and stores already have trees up for Christmas.... ummmm what happen to Thanksgiving... or 2014 for that matter?

The holiday season seems to be in full swing with party's already and tons of decorating pics filling up my instagram feed. (not judging in the least) I think with the earlier than usual cold weather it makes us want to go all Christmas-ee! Not to mention if you have travel plans and wont be home for the thanksgiving holiday, having your tree up already will just be one step closer to the holiday when you get home. (don't turn on the tree lights at least until thanksgiving eve).

But seriously...who else is excited it's tunic, boots, and scarf season? This girl that's who!!

Muchana Scarf Giveaway

giveaway

The perfect combination of fall colors is right here in these two scarfs and you could win them both!

Handmade in Ecuador and exclusively at Muchana. Muchana is a Kansas City based Panama Hat company. Working directly with artists in Ecuador Muchana imports high-quality, luxe accessories all while supporting their craft.

Katie and Kelly who are not only business partner, but also sister who fell in love with Panama hats during one of their trips to Ecuador. But it didn't stop with panama hats. They recently added beautiful hand made scarfs and capes. Artist in Ecuador carefully dye and weave luxe scarfs on a loom. Made from 50 percent cotton and 50 percent wool they are vibrant, beautiful and so soft.

Remember this outfit below? What appears to be one scarf is actually two Muchana scarfs. I laid them back to back and gave them a little twist around my next to let both the scarfs show. I love how well they go together. Today I am teaming up with Muchana and giving away a set of both of these scarfs.
