Fashion Fun at Runway

I had the great pleasure of sharing camera time with my roommate and fellow kika superstar, Beth Holm. We took turns taking photos of each other in different outfits that we tried on at Runway which is our training and reveal of our Spring 2014 Collection. 

We have so much fun in the "Try On Room" which is filled with TONS of new clothing samples. I have a method to my time in this room as I make sure to try on each item to see what size fits me. I can then tell if things run too big or too small. I also ask people who are not my size what they liked and looks good on them. It is exhausting but fun! Then we have a chance to buy these items too. I took 3 home including the dress you see me in below. 

Tell me what outfit do you like the best?

kika Colors & Sizes Spring 2014

Our sizes are 0-6 (corresponding to women’s size 0-18 or XXS to 1X) and it depends on the item but some can fit into the Plus sizes too. Please use the measurements and conversion chart below to determine your kika size.

Online ordering is here!

Guess what!? It has been a long time coming but we have finally added a new website where you can shop online for your kika! That is also another new thing ... the company's name is changing to kika! There is a new logo, new online shopping, new spring line ... lots new! 
What do you think of our new logo? 

There are still some great items on sale that have been discontinued from last season. They are available while supplies last and on sale at 25% off. The colors and sizes available are updated in real time on the website so if it isn't available, then it is sold out in that size/color. However, there are also new spring items that have been added to the website too! These items can be purchased online in their signature color only. If you want an item in a different color or pattern then you need to contact me. 


Also, if you register your email address on my website you will get a coupon code emailed to you for 15% off your next purchase before Feb 28th, 2014. That makes those sale items even more tempting at 40% off! Please make sure to get your coupon code.

Here is the size chart again in case you need it. They are working on getting all this information on the website.

Traveling with kika

Hello there! It has been a while since I have done a blog post and I apologize for the delay but things got busy and my tripod broke so it became harder to take photos of myself. I want to get back in the swing of things so here goes! 

Last week I went down to southern California for our annual training with kikaPaprika and it was the first year that I packed only kika! The one exception was a sweater that I wore on the airplane because it was too darn chilly here in Seattle to go without. It was a super busy time while I was at Runway (what we call our training/convention/conference) but I managed to take some photos of myself while I was there. It was fun to come up with a summer travel capsule for this trip. Let me know if I can help you with your next trip!
Everything fit into a small carry on size suitcase. I had things that I never even wore!
Day #1: My first day of training!

Lizzy in Peacock (custom color) ~ $99
Charlotte in Meadow Print (previous season item)
Twill Capris in White (previous season item)
Day #2: My twin Beth Holm who I aspire to be like someday!

Day #4: My traveling outfit. This was not the outfit I had planned on and in fact had more outfit options than I actually wore. However, I had to put on as many items as possible since I bought way more kika home than I planned on!

My own sparkly black top
Portia in Meadow Print (previous season color) ~ $95
Twill Capris in White (previous season item)
