Western Auto
This mutlii-story sign in Kansas City really caught my eye…it takes the idea of a vintage road sign to a whole new level! The building it sits atop was originally the Coca-Cola building before it became the Western Auto Supply Company headquarters…today it is on the National Register of Historic Places and was renovated into condos. It bet it looks really cool when it’s lit up at night!

Mani Monday
This week’s mani is inspired in part by the St. Louis Cardinals’ alternate blue jersey. I used Holo Taco’s “Polar Opposites” set with the super magnet on my thumb and pinkie nails, and “Red Licorice” on the rest, all topped with “Silver Flake Taco” for a bit of extra sparkle.

Shuttlecocks
These large-scale (18 feet high!) sculptures of shuttlecocks at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City were the main reason I wanted to visit the museum in the first place. There’s something so whimsical to me about sculptures of everyday things supersized that I couldn’t resist, and these did not disappoint! We almost missed the fourth one, because it’s on the other side of the museum grounds from the other three, and we stumbled upon it quite by accident…I’m glad we found the complete set!

Sartorial Saturday–A Vibrant and Verdant Dress for Spring
Today I’m taking a look at a beautiful dress in the loveliest shade of green that I got for a steal from Miss Candyfloss!
I’ve had my eye on the Nerine-Sage dress since it was first released two years ago in the Viva Rita collection. I couldn’t quite commit to the bold color, but when it went on sale at the end of February, I couldn’t resist any longer!
I went bold with my accessories, too, including an equally bright green fascinator I got for Easter, a pair of necklaces from RockLove Jewelry, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles in green and pink, butterfly earrings in the same colors, and an Erstwilder Easter egg brooch:
The dress doesn’t just have a bold color…it also has a subtle leopard print pattern!
Here’s a closer look at my bangle stack, along with the pink gloves and belt I added to the outfit:
I added a green charm from the RockLove The Princess and the Frog “Tell Your Tale” enhancer set:
And here’s a look at the top of the fascinator, which is just gorgeous!
The lightweight, satin fabric has a great twirl!
This is such a pretty dress for spring, and there’s something about a piece of clothing that was a great bargain that makes it even more enjoyable to wear!
