Though Whole Foods isn't new to the Kansas City area, the first one in KCMO opens today and I was lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes peek at some of the amazing things this store has to offer.

My husband and I actually used to live about a block from the location when we first moved to Kansas City 2 years ago. We watched with excitement as building began more than a year ago. Last year, we moved out of the neighborhood, but drive by often notice how much closer it's been to opening. Well, that day has finally come, and we are so dang excited!

It's a grocery store, it's a bakery, it's a sushi shop, it's a deli, it's a restaurant, it's a cafe, the list goes on. The bar and restaurant area is so stylized and beautiful, my husband and I are already planning date nights to go back.

There's also an amazing beauty section with all kinds of wonderful organic skincare, yoga products, and more. In the food section of the grocery store, there are so many local KC brands featured on endcaps and high-traffic areas.

In the deli area we got to try out macarons, sushi, and more and meander through the bar and bakery area. We got to try out crab and shrimp from a crab boil, which they will also have on their opening day today and holy crab boil, it was so tasty.

Now, here's a little photo tour through some of what I got to experience right before the doors opened.

Again, if you've been to Barcelona, please let me know your favorite stops in the comments! When I went last time, I spent my time mostly checking out Gaudi's gorgeous architecture, and that will honestly probably be the case again this time, but I'd love ideas for drinks and food and whatever else!

Hello! Welcome to my brand-spankin' new blog: Call of the Styled. I'm so glad you're here.

It's looking a bit sparse here now, but don't worry, it will fill up with all kinds of fun posts soon.

Since this is the first post, I figure I should give you a little preview of what's to come. Call of the Styled will be about style (obvs). It will be about travel (lots of it soon!). It will be about good food and good drinks (mainly the stylish ones, whatever that means). It will be about design and interiors (again, lots and lots soon). It will also feature a lot of Kansas City, because that's where I call home.

If this is our first time meeting: hey there, I'm Molly. I'm a graphic designer who loves to play dress up on a daily basis. I love anything retro and colorful. I love living in KC with my husband (and photographer extraordinaire) and tiny adopted mutt, Reese. We're currently renovating our home to give it some serious mid-century modern vibes, so stay tuned for fun before-and-after pics of that.

This first outfit featured includes some of my very favorite things: florals, '80s style and culotte jeans.  I've linked all the items below in case you want to snag any of these pieces for your own.
