a lil-bit!

I am really excited about this post because I am taking this blogging opportunity to showcase a wonderful artist ( and one of my best besties!) Taylor Triano!

She has recently started a blog Just a Little Bit that showcases her work (and life), and I think you should all take this moment to go and check it out!

To give you a little taste of her amazing skill I am sharing the following piece (pair of pieces?) it was a wedding gift from Taylor and we were so honored to own one of her pieces.

Isn't she just amazing? I am always so amazed how she can capture the essence of people (and even animals) and portray them in these little vignettes.

And all of her pieces are built primarily with textiles (drawn on fabric and embroidered), making them especially unique!

So be sure and head over to her blog and maybe even commission your very own "lil-bit" ! and keep your eye on Ms. Lil-Bit, as she is a hugely creative person doing

lots of great things!

things i love.

one of the best things about living in Kansas City is my amazing group of lovely, talented and inspiring girlfriends!  im lucky enough to have a great bunch of girls who are interested in similar things as i am (fashion, crafting, music, and being fabulous in general!)  I thought i'd take this moment to showcase one of these great girls... here is a pic of my pal Angela, who is looking adorable and wearing one of my personal favorite styles (high-waisted jeans)  I was actually with her when she bought this gem of a pair of pants and i tried to squeeze my substantially larger bum into a tiny size, alas, they were made for her and she looks fabulous, as per usual!
