"If I ever decide to move away from the hustle and bustle of New York...

...I'm moving to Kansas City!"

Friends, that is a direct quote from the talented author of Habitually Chic, a blog featuring "glamorous lives and stylish places."

A well-connected and talented young interior designer in New York City, she recently visited KC as a judge for the Kansas City Home Design Magazine Design Excellence Awards. During her trip, she resided and dined with several phenomenally talented Kansas City-based, nationally-renowned designers and award winners, visited some of our fab antique shops, and strolled some of our tree- and fountain-lined streets. Check out her full review in her KC trip post, We're Not in Kansas Anymore.

Thanks for the props, Habitually Chic! Oh, and for future geographical reference, Kansas City (at least the part of the city you visited) is on the Missouri side of the state line. Next time you come, you'll have to venture into KC, Kansas for some of the most tasty KC BBQ! Hope to see you again soon!
