You Can Only Love Someone Who Sets You Free

This morning I said goodbye to my baby sister and the windy city, watched the sunrise from the plane, flew into Kansas City and found my beautiful long-time best friend Jessica waiting for me in the terminal. She said it felt like Christmas morning!  (I agreed.) She goes to school here at Rockhurst (studying to become a physical therapist) and I miss her terribly when we're away from each other. In 6th grade I spotted her from across the cafeteria (I was suuuuper awkward 6th grade... I remember thinking: "Dang, how do those girls find jeans that aren't high waters*!?") and she spotted me back and we were fast friends. (*Jessica reminded me that she had high waters too.)

We spent today kind of exploring Kansas City, getting a little taste of the mid-Western flair I've been missing for so long. She took me to Dean & Deluca for lunch (throwing back to the days we loved Felicity and all her glorious chunky sweaters) and through the campuses of the local universities and art museums. Then back to her cozy Audrey-esque apartment for some major studying (okay fine, me writing, and a little bit of studying) and eventually some wine. No wine or beer in Kansas Whole Foods, so at the liquor store we picked out Bohemian Highway wine. The selling point: "for people who prefer a back road to a freeway." Hmmmm....

So as Jessica works on her take-home test, I'm checking up on Urban Weeds to see what Lisa Warninger has been shooting around Portland. I love that Lisa gives some love to Portland street style! On a recent post, I spot Francis (top pic), wearing a Molten Moon necklace and Gypsy Hoops (both by Sahlia) vintage shrug and Lincoln Park After Dark polish. Love the breezy shots. An Urban Weeds post on me from the spring never made it on here, but here's one of the shots below. I'm also wearing Sahlia necklaces, an Anthropologie scarf (23rd birthday present from Jessica) and my favorite little booties.
