The art of collaboration

It’s taken me far too long to catch on to a brilliant partnership between my favorite local shoe boutique and a modern home interior shop (as well as a Delaware Street neighbor!) The ingenious cross-promotion involves select displays of inventory designed not only to showcase of-the-moment products, but also increase in-store traffic and raise awareness about the benefits of shopping locally.

What better way to chase away the Monday blues than to brainstorm lists of what I’m loving in Kansas City? Check out the newly unveiled Lust List sidebar to find out what I’m craving, sipping and coveting. I’ll change it up every couple of weeks–after all, a girl on the go has to stay on the cutting edge! Enjoy, and chime in with your own picks — I love recommendations and more excuses to get out on the town!
