On the Agenda: Farmer's Market at Anthro

We were so excited to hear one of our all-time favorite stores, Anthropologie, is hosting a pop-up farmers market this Saturday at the Plaza store.

We can't be there - we'll be at Go Blog Social (our post on that is coming up tomorrow), but we hope you'll try it out and then let us know what you think of this unique event ...

A farmer's market + Anthro clothing and accessories + yummy samples ... it all sounds good to be true!

And since we can't be there to shop along with you, we thought we'd do a little online browsing. There are so many gorgeous pieces right now ... It was hard to choose just a few to share, but here you go:

Spacedye Day Dress, $118

Mixed moto jacket, $348

Amabel chambray shirt, $88

Paige booties, $138

Traced mirrordrop necklace, $158

Let us know if you plan to stop by Saturday and, if so, what's on your Anthro wish list?

Edit Boutique {An Update}

So Melina and I have our own marketing and public relations agency ... plus we team up with our Mom to sell clothes, jewelry, purses, etc. And then there's the blog of course. We're pretty much trying to turn all of our passions into one amazing business ... an empire, if you will : ) ... and all on just a limited schedule - a few days a week while our kiddos are at school, nights and weekends when our hubbies are home.

It can be hectic at times, juggling everything at once, but we love it. We really do. And to try and make it even more successful, we're going to have actual boutique hours. Yep! Every week, we'll be in the office turned shop on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for all of your shopping needs. Plus, we're going to open the second Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

So this Wednesday, you can stop by - no appointment necessary - from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Edit, 4505 West 90th Street, Prairie Village, Kan. We'll be there with many new arrivals for summer, including these two dresses. Our popular maxi is back in two new colors/patterns we know you'll love! The first 12 we ordered of these sold out in two days - this dress looks awesome on everyone - so don't wait if you're interested in either of these ...

Navy and plum maxi, $56

Dark gray and white maxi, $56

If you can't make it on a Wednesday, come by Saturday, August 10 or any of these other Second Saturdays: September 14, October 12, November 9 and December 14.

You can also set up an appointment and come in solo or with your friends. We always have wine and love to help our friends - and their friends - put together easy, fun and affordable outfits. You can email us anytime to set up an appointment: editkc@gmail.com. And, of course, don't forget to follow us on Facebook for photos of all of our new arrivals, including loads of "selfies," special sales and even giveaways!

We hope to see you soon!

Shop: Edit's New Jewelry

I am trying not to buy clothes right now. For one, I need to hold on to my money (we have several home projects in the works and summer tennis and swim lesson to pay for) ... plus, I've been working out and dieting (sigh), so I'm in between sizes. I'm trying not to buy anything unless it's the smaller of two sizes, which is definitely motivating as my friends (and poor husband) know how much I love shopping for new clothes.

Fortunately, Edit has a few new pieces of gorgeous jewelry ... shipping right this very moment to Juniper Lane! I want one of everything and keep reminding myself the goal is to SELL it all, not just WEAR it all! You'll understand when you see each piece - and they're arriving just in time for our big trunk show in St. Louis on Saturday! So a few sneak peeks ... Let us know if you'd like us to set one aside for you ...

Good friend Laura didn't let having a new baby at home derail her shopping - oh no! I already dropped off this lovely little number at her house last week. It'll look amazing with her lovely red hair and coloring!

Mint and gold link necklace, $30

Then there's this beauty of a bauble - perfect arm candy for any look!

Chunky faux pave gold bracelet, $18

My friends are huge friends of the bubble necklace trend, and who could resist this pretty shade of coral?

Coral bubble necklace and earrings, $30

I'm also in love with this bracelet - perfect with a summer tan!

Mint and gold link bracelet, $20

And a classic gold link necklace is always sophisticated and stunning ...

Chunky faux pave gold necklace, $30

Finally, another bubble necklace - this time in spring's must have mint. I know several girls whose eyes would sparkle with this necklace nearby!

Mint bubble necklace and earrings, $30

Which one is your favorite? Let us know! We're obsessed with them all and can't wait to share them with all of you!

Shop: In Clover's Rainy Day Sale

Just because we love all of our own merchandise at Edit doesn't mean we don't shop anywhere else. On the contrary! We love supporting other local boutiques, and of course, we're avid Gap, J. Crew and Target shoppers too.

This week, one of our favorite neighborhood boutiques is having a "rainy day sale" you won't want to miss. In Clover at 83rd and Mission in Prairie Village is offering 30% off one full-price item today through Saturday - and a free scarf with purchases of $75 and up.

Coincidentally, I stopped in yesterday to check out their selection - bestie Ashley was raving about all of their spring tops and dresses - and I was impressed! I found several items I wanted to take home, but alas, my clothing budget is a bit restricted this month. With 30% off, though, I may just be able to swing one of the cute patterned tops I picked up. Most were between $50 and $80.

Do you know of any good sales at local boutiques going on this weekend? If so, let us know! And maybe we'll see you this weekend at In Clover ... after brunch at another local favorite - Urban Table!

Stella & Dot Look Alike

I love receiving goodies in the mail, especially when they sparkle! Edit is now carrying a new bracelet that looks almost exactly like Stella & Dot's popular renegade cluster bracelet, which is $59. Our is only $25 and  handmade by a lovely little lady in Kentucky.

Here's our bracelet:

Edit gold "renegade" bracelet: $25

And here's the one from Stella & Dot:

Stella and Dot: $59

The main difference is the professional photography and lighting - I promise!

Now let me say, I am not a Stella & Dot hater - on the contrary, I love their jewelry and actually bought the pricey S & D version and wore it almost every day for two months before it broke.

I was so heartbroken and also too stingy to fork over another $60. That's when I found my hidden gem of the South, who hand makes such a similar style ... and for so much less!

Edit has several in stock, so let us know if you'd like your own renegade bracelet at more than HALF the cost! And our shipping is much less - only $5 - or you can pick up from us in Prairie Village.

We'll try and style the bracelet with some other arm candy to show you how we'd wear it ... Stay tuned for pics. We're new at this "styling" business, especially when it means pictures of ourselves, but we know we need to at least try!

Snow Day Shopping

This lovely snow day doesn't just mean lying around the house and building forts (although believe me, we've already done that, taken "mermaid baths" and played countless rounds of princesses/Barbies/babies) ... for me, it also means my husband Mark is home from school, and I can actually get something accomplished! Like a much-needed blog post promoting our upcoming trunk shows and all of our spring merchandise.

Don't Miss: Halls Warehouse Sale

Over the last six months since we've started this blog, we've become devoted Halls shoppers - especially loving the budget-friendly prices at the Crown Center location (which we blogged about here). So when we heard about this sale, we just had to share!

From February 6 - 10, Halls will sell over $1 million in designer brands from Halls' Plaza and Crown Center locations in a special warehouse sale at the Shoppes at Deer Creek Woods, 13308 Metcalf Ave., Overland Park, KS.

Customers will enjoy an extra 40% off permanently reduced merchandise for total savings up to 90% off original retail prices. We love those numbers!

In the past, end-of-season inventory was moved out of town to free space for new merchandise. This year, Halls is offering a new (and amazing) opportunity to local shoppers.

“Instead of sending the bargains out of town as in seasons past, we thought why not make them available locally?” says Halls President and CEO Kelly Cole, adding that “leasing a site at 133rd and Metcalf not only frees up needed space at our Plaza and Crown Center locations for Spring inventory, but gives Halls a way to reach out to our Johnson County neighbors.”

“This is Spring cleaning taken to the max,” says Cole. “We have been ruthless in clearing out shelves and racks, and slashed prices to the bone – there are amazing bargains to be had for the savvy shopper.”

The fine print:
All off-site sales are final, with no exchanges or returns. Alterations will be available at Halls’ permanent locations for an additional cost. No shipping or delivery. No adjustments on prior purchases. No other discounts apply (including Hallmark employee discounts). Bummer for all of our Hallmark friends : (

Warehouse Sale Hours:
9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday through Friday (Feb. 6 - 8, 2013)
9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 9, 2013)
11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sunday (Feb. 10, 2013)

We hope to hit up the sale on the very first day - how about you? Sounds like a perfect girls outing! Happy shopping!
