Penny & Charlotte

Penny continues to be a best seller of mine! Almost every time I wear it ... I sell one! It has the cool distressed leather look but it is organic cotton and spandex french terry. It feels like you are wearing your most comfortable bath robe but it looks a lot more stylish!

I added a new piece from our Spring Collection ... Charlotte in a limited edition print called Meadow. Actually, all our prints are limited edition because they are reclaimed pieces of fabric. Once we sell out then they are GONE! I love this print because it has such great colors plus the size of the print can minimize some troubled areas ... like my tummy. :) Of course, Charlotte also comes in 12 solid colors too. 

Also, if you liked last season's Leah then you will love Charlotte. It is almost the same item with the addition of a few pleats on the right side of the garment so it is more flattering along the tummy.

Let me know what you think!

Pippa in Stripes

I wanted to show off Pippa again and this time I am wearing a nude cami shaper under and I threw on a pair of jeans with it. What do you think? If you don't like it in the stripes, it also comes in 12 solid colors too.

Portia in Meadow

I am so ready for spring! All we have right now in the Seattle area is gray and rainy days. Isn't it time for a vacation to somewhere warm and tropical? I wish! Well, I decided it was time to wear one of my favorite pieces from the spring line ... Portia! It is a convertible dress that you can wear as a skirt or as a strapless dress. You can also fold the top down in different ways to change the length too. I need to fold it a few times to make it short enough for me as a skirt. 

Portia comes in two prints and this one is called Meadow. There is another print called Ikat and it is brown and white. Plus, this piece comes in 12 of our solid colors too!

I paired Portia in Meadow with Paige in Turq which was a color from last season. "Ocean" is this seasons new "Turq" and would have been a perfect match. I also wore my brown boots since it is still cold and rainy here. 

Here is the back.

I also needed a jacket and I didn't have anything in kikaPaprika that matched and was warm enough. This was an old brown corduroy jacket that I found that did the trick. 

Here is the back view again.

Sneaky Kirstyn!

I posted this photo from my previous blog post last month:

Well, it turns out it was a secret sneak peek at our spring line! The striped top is Pippa. She does shorten her skirts so that is why it look shorter than the others I have seen. You can see more photos and style ideas by going to Kirstyn's blog at:

Pippa & Penny

I have got to get back in the habit of taking photos of my awesome outfits! Ok, maybe I am the only one who thinks they are awesome but still I need to show you how the new spring items look. I had a really nice outfit on the other day and I couldn't bring myself to take a photo at the end of the day. I was too tired and lacked energy. I promise to try to do better! 

So, Pippa is one of my favorite pieces in our Spring line! It is the striped shirt that I am wearing. It also comes in solid colors too but I love the reclaimed fabric that kikaPaprika used in this piece. They buy fabric that would have otherwise gone into the land fills because designers don't want cheap knock-offs made. Our company makes special arrangements to buy the leftover yardage and remakes them into a beautiful piece from kikaPaprika! What do you think?

I know you have seen the back view of Penny before but it is always worth another look!

The stripe material is a bit see through. I am wearing a black shaper cami under but next time I will wear a nude colored one.
