K is for Kismet: A place for all the things I love and love to share!
To my sweet Husband who's interviewing today: you're going to rock this because your an incredible man! You got this Babe! I'm so glad I get to spend my life doing all these fantastic things with you!
To everyone else: what's your idea of a great life?
Kisses,

Greetings from Mr. Peterson* the Owl! (He's also my accessory companion for the day and he's vintage.)
He originally belonged to my Great Aunt and nowadays he hangs out with me. Mr. Peterson always brings me a smile so I hoped he'd bring you one too!
Kisses,
K
*Why Mr. Peterson? Dunno... Just sounded right.
We saw four (four!) different rainbows on the way to drop Husband off to work tonight. Good omen? I think yes! Rainbows are promises and reminders that good things are yet to come, no matter what it's like now. So I'm sharing these good things with you!
(Don't worry, I took the pics as the passenger, NOT the driver!)
Kisses,
K

Have you seen Anthropologie's latest collab yet?
It's 12 gorgeous Limited-Edition Stand-Up Paddleboard, by Kai Malie with Saffron James.
With an EPS foam core, fiberglass shell, epoxy, custom fabric, the board at 10'L, 31"W, 4.5"D, the paddle at 68"L, 9"W , and handmade in USA they are more than just a pretty face!
My favorites are the Blue Motif, Crimson, and Black and White.
(They include a booklet, three fins, fin key, instructions, EZ Plug handle, EZ Plug leash plug, and ankle leash.)
Anthro says: "EDITOR'S NOTES Hang twelve, dude. That's right - twelve. As in the number of these state-of-the-art beauties we had handmade by an expert Hawaiian board shaper. Inlaid with vintage silk ikat and Suzani fabric, each one-of-a-kind, functional work of art comes tagged with its Hawaiian name and the date it was made, along with a matching paddle and miniature tote to house other saltwater necessities. (Balance not included.)"
With a price tag closer to$10k than not these boards are both dreamy and a pipe dream... For me at least... Lucky for me, though, I always seem to live near large bodies of navigable water so perhaps someday I could find something like them?
If you could, would you shell out for one?
Kisses,
K

Shopbop's newest The Hit List had so many cute things that made me say "Yes, please!" that I decided to share my faves.
I'm not usually attracted to so many long pant options but I just liked so many. Especially the coated black jeans, comfort and style!
Aren't all the dresses so much fun? I'm excited to see more of the windopane print that's on the skirt at the left. And I always love me a tweedy looking coat and accessories!
What are you looking forward to wearing once the weather warms up? (I'm still all sorts of bundled here in Seattle.)
Kisses,
K
