Take Another Looksie: LOFT.
The Ann Taylor Loft brand was established in 1996 as a more casual, more affordable version of the Ann Taylor brand. Up until last spring, I was unimpressed. Ann Taylor LOFT, now renamed LOFT has been bringing their “A” game as of late. Check out the fantastic fall items that made it onto Kiki’s List:

Desperately Seeking Suzani.
Suzani
(also siuzane), an embroidered decorative panel of white, more rarely, colored, cotton fabric or silk, widely used for interior decoration by the peoples of Tadzhikistan and Uzbekistan. Characteristic designs for a suzani are rosettes, floral motifs, birds, and ancient magical symbols.
The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition (1970-1979).
I can’t stop thinking about that gorgeous Donghia Suzani print that Rita St. Clair used in the Family Room at the WDC. In my opinion, this is a trend is not going away anytime soon. I think it’s a great fabric to put in my guest bedroom (when I can acquire the funds to redo it.)
I love, love, love the bold colors and abstract designs in these prints. Are any of you with me? If you choose to Go Suzani this fall, here are the pillows that made it onto Kiki’s List:

Take Another Looksie: Old Navy.
I started shopping at Old Navy when I was pregnant with E. They always had some great maternity clothes for a fraction of the price of other stores. After my babies were born, I continued shopping there for inexpensive children’s items with a bit of flair. Occasionally, I would find some nice pieces for myself, that were so cheap that I wouldn’t care if they got ruined, spit up on, etc.
Well, this fall Old Navy has taken a page out of the ole’ J. Crew book… on the cheap! I just bought a bucket load of items to dress my family for fall. I also picked up a few key fall items for myself. Want the best part? Today Old Navy is offering 25% off of your entire purchase with promo code ONSTYLE25.

You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby.
Last winter we had one of the worst blizzards in history. While most were out shoveling, it seems that my friends were spending a lot of time indoors trying to keep warm. Now, what seems like 99% of my girlfriends are about to pop out babes within the next week or two. So, I have been asked to do a feature on diaper bags. Of course, I will gladly oblige.
We have come a long way since the days of quilted, floral diaper bags. There are some great choices out there, and quite frankly, you shouldn’t feel limited to bags that are only purposed for carrying diapers. You can use any bag that you like, as long as it holds diapers, wipes and bottles. Just make sure that you pick up one of these… you’re going to need it. I actually used #12 during my diaper days. It was a gift from my amazing godmother… and I loved it!
Here are the diaper bags that made it onto Kiki’s List:

I’ve Really Chunked Up.
Fall has officially arrived. There is a bit of a nip in the air, and those who know me know that I do not like to be cold, so this weekend I’ll be whipping out my sweater collection. Just the thought of curling up next to a fire in an over-sized cable knit warms my heart. I love the look of a chunky cardigan for fall. There are so many ways to rock it- jeggings and some riding boots, jeans and a tailored shirt, or belt it. Regardless of how you sport your chunky cardigan, you will want to grab a few for this season. Here are the chunky cardis that made it onto Kiki’s List:

Riding That Train….
Vintage Subway signs were a coveted item two years ago. What started as a phenomenon in NYC signage has now gone mainstream. Now, there are a plethora of replicas out there, some manufacturers will even customize to your own city. Why splurge on the real thing when you can fake it? Here are the subway signs that made it onto Kiki’s List:
