Go Ahead and Cuff’em: Leighelena.

Okay.. here are the bracelets you’ve all been waiting for. I am so utterly excited to introduce you all to Leighelena. Enter Austin-based Leigh Elena Navarro, creator and designer of the Leighelena (a combination of her first and middle names, Leigh +Elena) line. Leigh learned how to fuse metal and glass as a little girl by watching her mother create wall hangings. She has turned Leighelena into a family business. Her mother helps hand-create each piece and any item large enough is finished with a stamp from her grandfather’s treasured stamp collection. I love the sentimental value that each piece holds. Every creation is hand made in Austin. All cuff bracelets are genuine leather and can be custom sized to fit your wrist. Leighelena has been featured in O Magazine, Real Simple, Redbook and Southern Living, and as you can see has been spotted on stars like 90210’s Annalynne Mccord

Girl Crush: Selena Gomez.


If your house is anything like mine, you are very familiar with Selena. Her new video Round & Round plays on the Disney Channel non-stop. Well, this little Disney Starlet just turned 18 last week- and boy, has she come into her own (and not in a totally inappropriate Miley Cyrus way either.) This girl’s got a classic, simple style about her, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s drop dead gorgeous either. I am sure the Jonas brothers are knocking down her door as we speak!

Take Another Looksie: JC Penney.


I have never been much of a fan of JC Penney. It reminds me of when I was little and my mom would try to convince me that I really could do my back to school shopping there. But the bargain hunter in me loves a challenge, and I think I met this one head on. Don’t get me wrong, I had to sift through my fair share of pleather shoes, CZ jewels and more polyester than anyone should ever encounter. That being said, check out the adorable finds that made it onto Kiki’s List at even more adorable prices:

Wish they made that in my size.


I am amazed at the abundant selection of clothes out there for my little fashionistas. When I was a little girl there was Carters and Healthtex. That was it. Look at how adorable these outfits are. I may have a tiny case of fashion envy.

Here’s the best news!
J. Crew- 30% off sale items through tonight
Gap- Free shipping on all orders over $50

4.) Crazy8 Ruffle Top ($9.99)
7.)Burberry Twill Infant Dress ($152) Not in my budget, but man is it cute!

Trend Watch: Tie Dye.


Not just for hippies anymore! Tie dye started to make yet another comeback in Spring of 2008, and I must admit, I cringed a bit at the thought. Well, last summer I found an adorable racer back tie die tank at the Gap for $4.99 (as seen above on Tori Spelling) and I thought not a major commitment -so I bought it. I love that tank, and just last week I found this little number at Forever 21 for $28.

I have totally come full circle on the whole tie dye thing, and I truly beleive that if done right, it can be stunning. Now, don’t get me wrong, there is a fine line.. So be careful and remember to keep it simple. Check out these tastefully decorated ladies…
