I've had tons of requests to share favorite local spots from my hometown, Springfield Missouri. In the summertime we get lots of amazing out-of-town blog readers and visitors at Red Velvet's local shop and I am always handwriting little lists of 'places to go' for people. I'm excited to share a few of our favorite spots in this coming season!
Aviary Cafe and Creperie is a new addition in downtown Springfield. I had lunch there with Emma this week and we both loved it! They have a great menu with lots of things we wanted to try. The atmosphere is airy and friendly. They play good music and there is a lot of natural light. It's a pretty dreamy spot!
Oh… and for those curious, the sunglasses photographed above are from Tumbleweeds. You can see me wearing them in this outfit post!
If you're in the Springfield area this summer, go visit Aviary and let me know what you think. XO! elsie

The place looks dreamy! And that sandwich looks delicious. 🙂
Good grief Elsie! I had their peach raspberry crepe and I’ve been thinking of it off and on ever since!
Springfield looks so unexpectedly fun! The Hubs and I almost had to head to Missouri this weekend to pick up an ebay purchase, but it fell through. I’m telling you – the second I enter Missouri at any time in the future, I’m heading to Springfield! First stop – Red Velvet!

I LOVE the Aviary and totally thought of you when I went there the first time! My favorite thing in there is that “Please Don’t Leave” mat. I’m so proud to have such awesome places in Springfield!

This place looks great and I love your blog! I just moved to Springfield from Fayetteville, AR. I love thrifting and antiquing but I don’t know where to go in Springfield. Where are your favorite flea markets and thrift stores?
I really like the nail polish and rings you are wearing! Where did you buy them?
oh it looks so cute!
That place looks amazing! I love their decor.
So excited to add this to my roadtrip list! Going to be visiting my glamorous Grammy this summer at Lake of the Ozarks, we’ll be planning a vintage treasure hunt, and a special trip to Springfield so I can visit your shop! Hoooray!
