Others in kika ... Graphic Print Scarf

I organized an event last week for my Networking Mamas group where we had a Ladies Night at the coffee shop where we meet every month. It was a way for the business women in our group to showcase their products and have some fun too. Janice owns the coffee shop and bought a scarf from me that she had seen me post on Facebook. It looks fantastic on her right?
Sorry for the bad color effects but at least it was a good photo of us!

Pearl is finally here!

We all have been waiting and waiting for our Pearl samples and they have finally arrived. Customer orders will be shipping soon too. There was a problem with the fabric when the new line came out so this item had to be re-done which takes a while. So far, the feedback on the dress has been really good! I got my sample just in time for my kika show on Saturday but unfortunately the sample was way too big for the guests at that show. I didn't think to belt it at that time.

So, until I get my own size to try on or someone to model it for me in the Merlot sample that I have (it is a kika size 4 or women's size 12/14) ... I figured I would share some photos that some other consultants have shared with me. 

This is Missy and she styled this dress in two different ways. She wears a smaller size than I do so maybe I should try belting my sample and see how it looks! It looks great on her! Also, be sure to check out her website at www.styles2love.com
Pearl in Merlot (signature color) ~ $110
Navy Paisley Scarf ~ $32
This next one is Vickie and she normally wears a kika size 4 on top but a kika size 2 on bottom. She feels like she could go down a size with this dress. Other kika consultants have said that they love it but they are a bigger kika size on bottom than they are on top. I think Vickie looks really cute!
Pearl in Merlot (signature color) ~ $110
Finally, here is the photo from the website and this is our hand-dyed print called Alligator. This is the one I am waiting for in my size. I am built more like Vickie so I might even have to go down a size in this dress but I will wait to see what my sample looks like first. Also, let me know if you want to know how you can get this item for just $10!

All Business, All Comfort

This was an outfit I wore back in September and I hesitated to post it because my tripod broke so I was trying to figure out another way to take photos of myself and I don't think I did a good job. Oh well. I was inspired to wear a more traditional business looking outfit because I had just put together a new college of business outfits where you can mix and match just a few pieces to get so many different looks. I was going to demonstrate the idea on me but then my photos turned out so bad that I changed my mind and used the models from kikaPaprika instead. 
My inspiration for my outfit below...
Daphne in Black (custom color) ~ $89
Loren in Winter White stripe (signature color) ~ $70
Petra skirt in Black (signature color) ~ $78

Concert Outfit

Again, I am behind on my posts! In August, I took a little trip down to Los Angeles to see my favorite band in the whole wide world. Yeah, I am kind of a groupie. They all know me and I hang out with them after the show. It is fun and something that I have been doing since my college years. Gosh, that dates me doesn't it? Anyway, I decided to pack only kikaPaprika items on this trip and it was fun! 

First up was my outfit that I wore on the plane and I had one of the gals who checked me in at my hotel take the first photo. They had a resident bird in their lobby too. It was a quaint little hotel but the most amazing thing was that it was right across the street from my concert. Sweet! 

I also wanted a small hands-free bag for this trip so I asked my very good customer and Miche Bag leader to get this awesome cross-body bag. It was fabulous and perfect for this trip! In fact, I still use it and tuck it into my bigger bags and totes. LOVE IT!
Daphne in White (custom color) ~ $89
Loren in Peony (previous season item) ~ $65
Twill Capris in White (previous season item) ~ $88
Hip Bag in Black by Miche Bag ~ $34.95
Next up was my concert outfit and it was the perfect outfit for this event. I felt a little dressy but way super comfortable. The top is my own but it had a little bit of sparkle that I thought the skirt needed.

Loren in Stripes

I have fallen behind on my blog posts and completely skipped a few outfits that I meant to post. This one was something I wore back in August when I was first getting items from the Fall Collection. It was hot so I wore a very basic outfit. It isn't exciting really but I was really happy with how Loren looks in the stripe fabric. People ask me about this shirt a lot! Funny how different it looks as a solid or a stripe.
