More widely known as herringbone,  the chevron print has become extremely popular and can be found practically anywhere, on practically anything.  I had always dreamed of one day having herringbone floors.  Seeing as how I have perfectly good hardwood floors (okay they may not be what I would have picked if I built our house, but with two kids and a dog there is no way we are refinishing them.)  I digress..  for now I can get snippets of chevron everywhere I look, and at every price range.  I would LOVE to have a pair of curtains in Rubie Green’s East Village in Raspberry, but for now, I will settle for the Ellie bag, at $24.

Here are the chevron items 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.

Mad For Plaid.


If you were smarter than I was and saved all of your plaid shirts, scarves and blankets- dig them out stat. Tartan is back in a big way. I love a good tartan plaid. It reminds me of being a little girl. Plaid taffeta skirts, wool kilts. a cozy cashmere blanket. I’ll take any of them. While plaid decor will certainly not work in most of my home, I can certainly find a way to add a sprinkle of plaid, especially during the holidays. It seems that world has gone mad for plaid… and I like it! This is a trend that the entire family can get behind. Here are the plaid items that made it onto Kiki’s List:

Back to School.

My baby girl starts Kindergarten today (sniff, sniff.) Besides wondering where the time went, I am wondering where to get her clothes for fall. My soon-to-be-five-year-old wears a size 7-8, and I always have the hardest time finding age-appropriate clothes for her. If you look in the little girls section, they are showing pieces that I wouldn’t let my girls wear if they were 15, let alone 5. So this one’s for all of you moms who share my pain. Grant it, some of these may be out of my price range for my little one, but here are some tasteful items that I would love for my little mini-me(s) to sport this fall.


1. Pocketful of Ruffles Coat- $98 *** KIKI’S LIST FAVORITE

2. Boatneck Floral Top– $29.50
3. Button Jumper– $26.75
6. Mini Skinny Jeans– $26.50
7. Trench Coat– $39.50 *** KIKI’S LIST FAVORITE
10.Fringed Boots– $26.50
11. Stripe Atlantic Bow Tee- $26.50 *** KIKI’S LIST FAVORITE
