2012-02-10T10:43:00.008-05:00

TGIF! Did I tell you Ki has gained a new employee? I realized I mentioned it on Facebook but forgot to dedicate a post to her here! She is interning at Ki for a year while her mom finishes up living in London. Meet Eleanor Rigby... Ellie for short...she's short. So now I carry 3495i9346 things + Yoko + Ellie. If my arms aren't toned by summer I'm definitely going to have to look into adopting a German Shepherd to tote around!

Shhh-ih Tzus

2012-02-09T10:32:00.007-05:00

Now here's a cute group of friends I'd like to play with this weekend... Great frames to add a pop of color to any space! Seriously y'all, I love Valentine's day. My window display and the 5 balloons dancing with the wind might be a slight hint... The bright colors of pinks and reds and large displays of candy throughout stores makes me burst with happiness. It's not just about romance and cheesiness cheese sap... well, I'd love it if cheese were involved, too! But don't forget Valentines gifts can be purchased for ANYONE you love whether it be a sibling, mom, best friend, or...yourself! Barbie Gypsy necklace might be a perfect Vday gift to myself... ;) Have a happy Thursday!

My camera is dead. My phone is dead. It's my birthday. One year older, but no wiser in the technology category. I'm making some love in here. I'm not talented enough to paint backwards though, so don't mind the computer webshot.

Happy day to everyone!! I love you all!

2011-09-29T11:02:00.008-04:00

I'm going to ramble about skulls! Like usual. Currently in the process of making lots and lots of black skulls. Perfect for Halloween and everyday. All the black made me yearn for some color though. Remember my cute ikat one? I'm drawing some inspiration from these today: Yoko agrees that skulls look great in pink (and so does she) Order a cute skull! Who says they all have to be Halloween and pirate??

What's the perfect way to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids? With a champagne glass, of course! These were simple but cute with navy and tan tones. I'll throw my gypsy hand up in navy classic today, too. Something else classic? Monograms. Especially for new baby girl's bedrooms. Always great to give custom gifts! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and that you kept it classy, Tallahassee. Happy Monday!

Paint, Paint, Paint!

2011-09-17T11:06:00.007-04:00

TGIF--Thank Goodness It's Florida State!!

2011-09-16T10:28:00.004-04:00

2011-09-13T13:05:00.007-04:00

Having fun with my pantone markers. Ki needs some pretty added to their tags. Did ya'll make it to Target today? I did! It wasn't crazy just had four token crazy women with all the merchandise in their carts. I left with some cute items, all of which were the last of their kind. If you missed out, I'm sitting in Ki now and realizing I have some Missoni for Ki... haha, well, kind of? Hopefully your day is going well :)

Key to Happiness

2011-09-13T11:02:00.006-04:00

Skulls & Glitter, of course!
I spent last night organizing my closet which means I also found myself simultaneously doing ten other things... like so... (I'm going to make a glittery elephant, too.) I'm in great spirits today having my sickness almost gone and sparkling around the store all day! Love me some glitter, skulls and Tuesdays!

Back to Biznass

2011-09-12T11:28:00.010-04:00

Thera-sday

2011-09-08T11:03:00.009-04:00

Theraflu and Mt. Dew will be helping me get through today. I'm making a mess in here as usual and while messing things up I've come to realize I definitely have a leopard problem. That's the jungle of a mess I seemed to make when moving around non-Halloween/football items. Also, tutu girl seems to be anxious for Halloween... I know it's already Thursday, but I've finally got my act together this week and restocked my fridge. WOO! So, with the help of my fridge and some meds, I will hopefully be back to normal soon. P.S. That's an entire can of soda in the cup... obviously those plastic stemless are the PERFECT tailgating item. Unbreakable and hold a WHOLE can of fun? Yes, please! Happy Thera-sday!

Football Fun

2011-09-07T11:32:00.010-04:00

DuuDun.DuuuDun. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. Ohhhh Ohh oh-ohhhh. Chop. Chop. Bulls. Bulls. Bulls. Someone tell me what Bulls do at games! I'm moving thangz around in hur...Don't wear a shirt like this when doing so: Your sleeves will get caught. and they will rip. Trust me. Have a wonderful Winesday!!

Keep Calm and Scary On

2011-08-31T10:35:00.008-04:00

Fall may be approaching but we still live in Florida where margaritas are acceptable in such heat so, here's some Fall fun: What's scarier? My Fall intern or the fact that I took a picture with her? hahaaa
Have a scary Wednesday. I've got my skull top on for some more pre-Halloween-scariness. (Or just my usual Kimy attire...)

BOOm. Day Is Almost Done!

2011-08-30T16:25:00.002-04:00

Amped For Fall

2011-08-30T10:20:00.007-04:00

Dressed for fall and chugging an amp. Happy Tuesday!I bet you all didn't know I was excited for the season change. I know I've become extremely annoying about it. I'm not sorry. I started transitioning my summer home into my cozy autumn one last night. Don't worry though, I'm talking Fall. Not Halloween (yet). I've held off on any Spooky decorations in my house but that doesn't mean they won't be flooding Ki's shelves. Keep an eye out for Hallowreaths with turkey backs! Please note none of these are complete yet. Gobble Gobble will Gobble a bow and hallowreaths will have spooky messages. More to come soon!

All You Need is Love

2011-08-29T10:27:00.006-04:00

Thursday is the New Monday

2011-08-18T12:39:00.008-04:00

We're back from our buying trip! When we arrived to New York it wasn't very pretty. Most companies don't allow you to take pictures either. So... I'll leave you with these: Yesterday looked like this... Perfect weather to make me cry and want to miss my flight. But then I remembered I had this at home to return to: Fun things are a comin' so get excited!!

Back to School!!

2011-08-14T22:00:00.005-04:00

I hope everyone took advantage of the tax-free weekend and loaded up on school supplies and clothing! I miss the days of school shopping... it was probably one of my most favorite times of year. Not kidding. Something else exciting for the new school year? Teacher wreaths! How cute is this for a Gorrie jaguar door? The teacher can even flip it and write when they're at lunch or out of the classroom! Another thing exciting about fall? Hallowines are coming sooooon!! I used mine from last year while I watched Real Housewives last night! Cannot wait to restock the store with BOOze! Last bit of good news? I have repainted my nails. I will no longer be an embarrassment. Well, my nails at least. Now I'm off to the airport. Follow us on twitter to get instant NYIGF news! twitter.com/kidesigngifts!

Navy & Pink

2011-08-11T14:08:00.003-04:00

I love navy and pink. I match this color combo today, too. If my chipped pink nails count...
Happy Thirstday! I'm Thirstay!

I'm just a summer girl...rocking a rain coat. Even if it has literally consistently rained since yesterday morning... I will still make happy things like this: Notice their wedding date written in the sand... Such a great gift set or just as cute as individual pieces Have a happy day!

Cozy Up

There's nothing I love more than after work cocktails. Especially a margarita. So today I am making some cute ones to be filled with SGM or my bff, Patron. Another fave of mine? Wine... of course. These stemless ones are perfect for a cozy up-wind down type night. I might be adding these to my own wish list. I love them! Today's gray skies are perfect for snuggling up in a sweater and sipping out of one of these. Unfortunately I'm at work... so I'll settle for a leopard-print sweater.

Girly Fun

Pink is fun.
Wine is fun.
Bows are fun.
Mondays are fun.

Go have some fun! Or order some from Ki!

Fun fact: The shirt I'm wearing today is from Why Not Boutique! Woo Just realized it!

The party was a success! I didn't do a good job of photographing though. Can't win 'em all... The tables had food on them... and didn't look so sad and awkward. haha

Tonight is the celebration of a sixtieth birthday! It's going to be at the tropical Hula Bay and the decorations are inspired by the birthday boy's favorite attire: Tommy Bahama. So obviously, Ki custom made some frames to showcase his little face over the years! Stay tuned for pictures from the party!
