Two Years

Two years ago today, I married my best friend.

And I still think

he's

the

best.

Happy Anniversary, G!

Tomorrow...

Possibly even the Best Day Ever.

I'll be back to blogging on Wednesday!

Don't forget!

Lucky Stone eBay auctions end Sunday at 6pm central time, so make sure to take a peek!

Also, I'm offering free shipping to all my Lucky Stone readers! If you end up with the winning bid, message me before you make your payment, and I will adjust your paypal invoice!!!

Last but not least, if you are in Kansas City tonight, you should scoot your little be-hind up to the Jones Pool (on top of the downtown Cosentino's Market) for an awesome fashion show by Hemline, to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kansas City! I'll be there with my trusty (and extremely adorable) sidekick and our cameras, on the lookout for sweet style to post on The Concrete Catwalk!

Hope you all have a wonderful July weekend! Is anyone going anywhere fun? I'm already thinking about everything I need to do before our upcoming vacays... so I'll be as busy as a bee! Ta-ta!

Perricone on The Lucky Stone

Whoooooooooooooooo's ready for a giveaway!?!?







I am happy to be able to offer my readers a chance at winning a very popular product from Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals, the Advanced Face Firming Activator ($120 value). This best seller makes skin appear firm and toned, and it gives it a beautiful glow. It is said to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, leaving a radiant and healthy complexion. What's not to love???

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post with your name, email address, and what skincare product you could not live without OR your worst skincare nightmare (hives, breakouts, you name it).

In my case (if you must know) I would write, "I grew up in Arizona/San Diego [hello, sun damage], I currently wash my face with handsoap [gasp!], and I recently cut bangs to hide the wrinks on my forehead [poor-lady Botox]! Please send me this magical potion!"

I will choose a winner on Friday, July 17 at noon, so you have exactly one week to come up with the best entry that you can! (Unfortunately, you must live in the US to win.)


Good luck, my dears!

Kansas City Love

Do you know about Grace's Birdcage? It is a LOVELY blog that is written and run right here in Kansas City.

It's LOVELY owner (not Grace... Grace is the cat... who doesn't like milk) wrote her 1000th post yesterday (Congratulations Alissa!), and is holding a giveaway to celebrate! I feel like I probably shouldn't enter, because the aDORable postcards from Hammerpress that she is offering as the prize could just as easily be obtained by getting up from my desk RIGHT NOW and trotting myself down the street to their shop to buy them for myself.

But YOU should definitely head on over and enter to win, because everything that Hammerpress does is FAB I tell you... just fabulous.

She also posted a link to the article in Elle Decor about our dear city, and I had heard about it but hadn't taken a look yet. Let me just say that if you have never been here before, it is worth a visit. :)


The Nelson Atkins Museum - just two blocks away from our house!


Union Station

I have to walk through this gorgeous and expansive space to my stop everytime I take the bus home.

I've been amazed at how many wonderful bloggers are either from KC or connected to the city in some way. Sarah has lived here, Megan has lived here (and wrote a beautifully nostalgic post about July 4th as a kid in KC), and Betsy blogs about the cutest things from her little shop down the street. Let's not forget my routine Summer Saturday stop - Lindsay's traveling snowcone stand! Amanda lives close enough for visits, and Katy posts about her fashion adventures from a college town just 45 minutes away. Let's not forget the great style spotting!!!

Kansas City has SO much to offer, and the longer I live here, the more I learn to love it and hold it as my home.

Lucky Stone on Ebay!

I've been organizing our flat like a mad woman and in an effort to clear some closet space, I'm auctioning off lots of great things this week...

J. Crew Linda Dress

J. Crew Suede Kitten Heels

Bright Pink Vintage Kicks

J. Crew Josie Dress

Gray Patent Leather Buckle Flats

Both dresses are in great condish, but I don't wear them nearly enough to justify keeping them. The shoes are all a size 9.5, which oddly, USED to be my shoe size before my feet started shrinking (can't be normal).

Happy bidding!!!
