Each year, the West 18th Street Fashion Show takes place in Kansas City. 18th street in the Crossroads District is shut down, a runway is built and a fashion show filled with up and coming designers takes place.
Some of the clothes were good (no models stopped in front of me, or I would have shown my favorites) some of the accessories were very good, and some had me puzzled. That's not really what matters though- what's important is that Kansas City has more events like this one.

Saturday was also my birthday, and I had some friends over for drinks and bits before the show. More than celebrating my birthday, throwing a cocktail party was an excuse to make
the best party cocktail you'll ever have and serve it to some of my favorite Kansas City-ans.
I kept the food simple-
Union Square Cafe bar nuts, Easter egg radishes with sea salt, olives and an eggplant dip with pita from my brand new
Fresh & Easy Cookbook (which Matt sent to me for my birthday along with...new pans!).

Baby Harper was the tiniest and sleepiest guest.
She kept it festive with a cupcake onesie and a bow. |
We ended the night at
Westport Cafe where I allowed myself a birthday indulgence: Spring pea ravioli and a side of french fries.
