Happy Earth Day!

Sorry I am so behind on my blog posts. I am going to try to catch up today! Things have been so busy lately that I barely have enough time to snap some photos of me wearing kika. I think you folks should start sending me photos of YOU wearing kika. ;)

I recently got Shannon in a size that works for me but it is still a bit snug in the chest area. It is one of my difficult places to fit on me. I don't think my boobs are THAT big but my rib cage is just wide. It works because the fabric in the back is stretchy. I want to love this piece, I do! Anyway, I threw it on over my Twill Capris that I do LOVE and really like the combo!

Anyway, a few weeks ago it was Earth Day (April 22nd, 2013) and we had a special on Lily so I thought I would try it on and see if I could make it work for me. It just doesn't do it for me at all but I tried! If I left it untied in the front it was just too long and didn't look good at all. Maybe I should have saved those photos? I also didn't like it with Shannon under it so I swapped out my shirt for Paige which I liked a lot better. I much prefer the Kelly for me as I am just too petite or short waisted for this piece. What do you think?

Earth Day Specials

I am on vacation this week down in Seaside, OR and I wasn't really planning on doing a blog post while I was down here. However, kikaPaprika announced an Earth Day special and I decided to run with it and add a few more specials to the mix. I will include the specials at the end of the post which is basically a copy of my newsletter that I sent out to my customers. Let me know if you want to sign up for it!

My new love is our Skinny Pants and I think they will be a big hit with everyone who tries them on. I like them much better than Leggings even though I do really like kikaPaprika's more than others I have tried. Have you tried them on yet?

Jackie in Ink/Navy (custom color) ~ $95 ~ NOW $86!

Skinny Pants in Black (signature color) ~ $90

EARTH DAY SPECIAL

kikaPaprika just announced an Earth Day special that is only available for three days! Valid from Sat 4/20 to Mon 4/22. Lily is our burnout animal print cardigan which is made from recycled water bottles and organic cotton. It is super soft and lightweight which is perfect for chilly spring and summer nights. What is a burnout fabric? It is a special process that leaves a two-tone pattern on the fabric. Some of the color is left behind so it creates a really neat tonal pattern with a light and dark version of the color. Lily is on sale for these three days for just $66! That is 20% off the retail price and the great thing is that you can get it in 13 colors this month!

Lily in Khaki
Shown with Drew tank in White and Twill Capris in Khaki
NOW $66!

Available in Black, Cocoa, Imperial, Ink, Iris, Khaki, Kiwi, Ocean, Peony, Shell, Steel, Tangerine, & White.

Iris (sorry no burnout fabric swatch)

To see more photos and colors of Lily, I have posted them on my Facebook page into a special sale album. I am on vacation all week and won't return until late Sunday night.

BONUS EARTH DAY SPECIAL

I am adding a few more items on sale that also use the recycled water bottle fabric. Some are super bargains so the first person to respond gets that item! These will also be on sale until Earth Day 4/22. Most are 10% off the retail price so get them while you still can!
