Everyone Needs Kris

Oh wow! I ordered this top on a whim before I left for Sweden because I had some extra hostess credit to use and I thought I would try out this new summer piece. I wanted to get Priscilla which is basically an updated Pippa and I already had several in my closet. I knew I loved the material (same as another favorite of mine ... Paige) so I thought I would give it a try.

I am in LOVE! The material is so super soft and lightweight. I do feel it is a little see-through but I always wear a shaper and for this one a nude colored one works best. I love the little pocket on the front and the slightly longer hemline in the back. Pippa was an okay kind of basic t-shirt replacement but Kris is hands down my new go-to tee. I can't wait to order more!

It was another warm day today and it was the perfect weight material. Just enough to keep you warm when the wind was blowing but in the sun it was breathable and cool. Of course, I paired this with another favorite of mine ... Matchstick Capris. I am short so I need to roll them up a bit but I actually really like that look. What do you think?

It was a glasses kind of day today!

Stripe Viv & Matchstick Capris

I brought some new kika items with me to Sweden so I will try to show off some outfits while I am here. Almost everything that I brought to Sweden is kika but I only like to show off the things that are still for sale. The tank top stripe matches the stripe on the Cameron skirt that I wore earlier. I don't see it available to order online but you can always email me to place an order. Let me know what you think!

I Heart Matchstick Capris

I was so excited to see a preview of these at Runway last January and they finally became available in the Summer Collection. I didn't buy these items for my sample rack but I did purchase a few pieces for my own closet. I have this pair of capri jeans that I really love but they don't quite fit me in the waist so I must wear a belt with them. However, they go with everything and are great for almost any summer activity. 

Well, I just happened to put an outfit together the other day (with the intentions of posting it as a "Throwback Thursday" on Facebook) and found an almost identical match from last year with my jeans on. Wow. I am definitely retiring my jeans for my kika Matchstick Capris! They look the same but are so much more comfortable! Thank you kika!

Welcome to Summer!

I wanted to make sure I wrote a blog post to highlight our small summer release. I am taking some time off from my kika business because I am taking a long vacation to Sweden this summer and will be gone for almost 2 months. I decided to not purchase the summer pieces because I won't be here to recoup my investment. I have a few pieces that I will order but they are probably going to Sweden with me! 

I will still take orders online and can also take custom color orders as well but you will have to email or text me to do so. There will also be a time delay because I will be 9 hours ahead of most of you. 

Here are the summer pieces and I have tried to collect as many "real person" photos too. They should be available online soon as well. 

Check out "Denna" below and from the sketch you can't see the cute detail on the back. It is my new favorite shirt! The material is the same lightweight Tencel that Dawson, Paige, etc. is made from. I also can't wait to get my Matchstick Capris so I can get rid of my jean capris! 

"Sally" is another new item that is also that same silky Tencel that I love. It comes in a solid and this print called "Bamboo". It is a great layering piece that you can throw on when the evenings get chilly or around here when the weather goes back to thinking we are in early Spring!

Briana looks like a shorter version of Portia with a cute high/low hemline. The fabric is the same as Portia and Pearl. I would love to see more photos of this! Portia is a great dress but is often too long for me. 

Finally, I have a photo (still in the bag for shipping) of our new stripe fabric. Michaela and the new Hayden dress will be available in this stripe and it can be dyed into our 9 colors this season. You can also check out our new label and hangtag as well!
