Sarah T.
Freelance Photographer / Midwest Blogger / Jack - of - all - Trades
Sarah and her husband live in downtown Kansas City between the Power and Light District and the Rivermarket with their two dogs that keep them busy, "[The dogs] seem to take up more time than having actual children would." Outside of her home life, Sarah remains a Renaissance woman who's early interest in photography has been the catalyst into something more: "I share my thoughts, creations and design styles while writing for Apartment Therapy Media. Specifically I represent the Midwest as a blogger for Apartment Therapy Chicago, Unplggd, Ohdeedoh and The Kitchn. I consider myself a jack of all trades and fearless when it comes to trying something new. [I] have lived all over, from Alaska to Milwaukee. The adventures never end as long as you're willing to grow where you're planted."
Favorite store/shop/boutique
"Hands down my favorite place to shop in KC. The Midwest has great prices on all sorts of vintage and re-purposed finds and the ladies at Good JuJu really know how to take something ho-hum and turn it into something fabulous for your home that also happens to be affordable. Sadly, they're only open one weekend a month!
Good JuJu 1412 W. 12th, West Bottoms; Times/Days of Operation vary - refer to website
Favorite coffee shop/ café
"I'm one of those snobs who cold brews her own coffee at home in the name of saving a few pennies. My life at the moment is too busy to take a few seconds and chill at a cafe enjoying the world around me."
Favorite restaurant

Spin! Neapolitan Pizza 4950 Main, South of Plaza; Open Sun-Thurs 11am-9pm, Fri & Sat 11am-10pm
Favorite bakery/sweet shop

Main St. AMC 1400 Main; Downtown; Operation hours vary
Favorite salon/barber/hair stylist
"I cut my own hair. I always have. I have a girly mohawk that everyone who's tried to touch it has screwed up. So every month or so I stand ridiculously posed in the bathroom with a small makeup mirror trying to trim things up. I have a hard time paying $50+ for a haircut on short hair..."
