casa de concrete catwalk can't take any credit for the photos from today's post...

they're from the gals over at employee lounge, another great local KC blog

that features excellent service industry professionals,
highlights our amazing restaurant/bar scene

and encourages discussion about how to make our city a better place to live.

the girls behind EL (linh and tina) and i are going to be collaborating
on some fun upcoming projects, and to welcome me to "the lounge",
we got together to snap some outfit shots and to do a brief interview together.

pop over to their site to see more great outfit photos!
plus you can read about my specialty dish that i'll make when you come over,
along with the quirky "secret stash" i bring with me when i travel!

speaking of traveling:i booked THREE major plane flights yesterday
(southwest was having a huge sale)
and i can't wait for a summer/fall filled with trips for both fun & work!
...more on that later!

have a great weekend!
