PINK FOR SPRING: STYLE DIARIES

 

Pink is always a good idea especially when it's Spring. Chunky knits, jeans, and boots are some of my favorite outfit items when the temps drop. the best part is how I can dress it up or down. I can pair it with a blazer and looks very business casual, or throw on a utility jacket and change to sneakers and you are ready to chill with your friends. I have opted for skinny jeans here, as I am not ready to retire my stash. But you can pair this with mom jeans or straight-leg jeans too. I love to balance out the proportions in my outfit so a baggier fit sweater pair well, in my opinion, with a fitted pair of pants. Are you a fan of chunky knits?

Trying the NEW Cluckin’ Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich & Triple Chocolate Chunk Custard Sandwich at Lion’s Choice

 

Just can’t get enough of the New Menu items at Lions Choice  - The Cluckin’ Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich and Triple Chocolate Chunk Custard Sandwich. Whether you are Team Spice or Team Sweet, Lions Choice has you covered!  Lion’s Choice, the St. Louis-based family of restaurants known for its famous roast beef sandwiches, crave-worthy fries, and frozen custard, added these two new items to its menu recently, and we got a chance to try them out. 

The new spicy sandwich features crispy chicken tenders, with the addition of Franks Red Hot sauce and ranch along with tangy pickles on a toasted, buttery brioche bun. As someone who is a fan of all things spicy loved the balance of heat and the cooking effect of the ranch! The rice-flour coating of the chicken not only makes it extra crispy but also one of the only gluten-free chicken tender options on the market. 

If that was too hot then you need the Triple Chocolate Chunk Custard Sandwich to sweeten the deal! It is made with Lion’s Choice’s famous vanilla custard, sandwiched between two triple chocolate chunk cookies, making it the perfect dessert.The brand’s creamy custard is whipped with more air to offer a satisfying and smooth consistency and is always served at the perfect soft-serve temperature. Guests can purchase one for $2.49 or two of the treats for $3.99.

The new menu items are available at all Lions Choice locations across Kansas City and St. Louis! So whether you are looking for a quick lunch or making plans for what to take for the Super Bowl party, both these new options will be a crowd-pleaser!

HOTEL KANSAS CITY - J RIEGER LAUNCH

 

Sipping on @jriegerco cocktails on the Starlight Terrace of @hotel_kansascity, while enjoying scenic views of the Kansas City skyline, counts as Date Night goals! It’s been a while since we had been out on a date night, and it seemed like perfect opportunity to have some time with each other. Two new exclusive J. Rieger spirits join the roster at Hotel Kansas City, The Kansas City Club London Dry Gin and Vodka. These spirits join The Kansas City Club Straight Bourbon Whiskey. And as most of you know, we add huge fans of @jriegerco and all their offerings! 

 @hotel_kansascity is a historic building as it was once the iconic Kansas City Club! You can’t miss the amazing architecture and interiors when you step in. And not just that, @nighthawk_kc and @the_town_company are two of the coolest spots in town, where you can enjoy these celebratory cocktails from @jriegerco ! Might I recommend, “Animal,” and “Jubilee,” from the special cocktail menu. Cheers! 

MUSTARD SWEATER & STRAIGHT LEG JEANS: EMBRACING COLOR FOR FALL

Embracing the quintessential colors of Fall in my outfit! Mustard Yellow is a favorite of mine and I love styling it for Fall. I am sure you'll remember my Mustard Dress post from a  few years back, which I had worn for one of the nights for KCFW. Or how I had styled this Sweater with a leather skirt, a few years ago, for Thanksgiving. Mustard is one of those colors, which is a fall staple, in my books. 

I love jeans any day of the year, so when the temps dropped here in KC, I had to put together a jeans and sweater outfit.Paired the mustard sweater with my Straight Leg Jeans from Express, for my weekend outfit. I think for us petites, straight leg jeans do come with their share of design challenges. I love opting for a ankle length version of straight leg jeans. A second trick is to pair them with heels, which makes my legs look longer, without me drowning in fabric. Also, my new sunglasses from Eb & Co, have been on steady rotation all week. My jeans from Express are 40% off this weekend! Do you like straight-leg jeans?

GO CHIEFS OOTD: JILL MARIE TEES & EXPRESS

 

Go Chiefs ! My Game Day T-shirt from Jill Marie Tees, my Red Sunglasses from Pink Dinosaur Boutique , and my earrings from Tirza Design are the perfect accompaniment for my mom jeans from Express and sneakers from Target. It’s all about finding that balance of local, small businesses and big-box! My t-shirt is uni-sex that makes it a great choice for nay Chiefs Fan. And these red sunglasses caught my husband's eye, when we were at Pink Dinosaur boutique, and we cooked two pairs, so that we could wear it for game days! We love to dress up whenever we are cheering for the Chiefs.While I do have a pair of white sneakers, I was looking for one which had leather accents, if not was all leather. The Madison sneakers from Target are clearly a great find, especially with their memory foam sole. Enjoy the game and remember to shop small this holiday season, as much as you can!
