KC is BLOOMING

One of my favorite quotes is from the artist Monet, "I must have flowers, always, and always." Back in mid June I heard about this awesome idea of blooms on wheels in Kansas City called KC Bloom Co.

Many of you know how much I love flowers. Growing up I was always surrounded by flowers. My Mom always had flowers growing in our garden. I get nostalgic thinking about a delphinium I used to check on a daily basis, it was like my pet. KC Bloom Co is such a cool way to make buying flowers fun, accessible, and convenient while bringing them to you in an adorable VW Vanagon called Westy. I stopped out at one of their events to make my own mini bouquet!

I made my own little bouquet out of roses, carnations, salal leaves, and alstroemeria. I'm gonna be honest it has been awhile since I have done floral arrangements. Last summer I had a lot more time to do them and this year when all of our tigerlillies were in bloom I just had to admire them from afar and skip any arrangements. However I think going out to Westy to make an arrangement for myself would be a good form of self-care and a way to support local business.

I loved the colors of this bouquet! So warm and pretty.

You might remember this Anthropologie jumpsuit from this post. I have been wearing the hell out of it! I actually got this jumpsuit from eBay for $24! I normally wear this jumpsuit with birkenstocks which have been a  huge pain to break in btw.  There is quite a few jumpsuits at Anthro right now that are a little bit simpler than this one and that I'd suggest if you're slowly grooving into jumpsuits like me.

KC Bloom Co has their own event schedule on their website/Instagram.

Hope everyone's September is off to a good start. I am busy as a bee with work and school. I'm never too busy for a pumpkin chai though! My weakness. I am looking forward to fall and a transition from this heat.
