Who is Wearing Kika? - Arzu

As you might have read this is a new feature on my blog where every Monday I post a different model styled in the wonderful comfortable and stylish clothing line I sell: Kika Paprika!

Meet Arzu!
This gorgeous lady from my native country Turkey is full of life and energy and these outfits truly matched her style! She just wed her 31 year old son this summer in Turkey. 
Arzu is one of the most independent, ambitious and confident woman I know. She is one of those types you can leave anywhere in any situation and she will survive. She achieves anything she puts her mind to. 

She loves that the Kika clothes are made out of organic cotton and they styles are so comfortable yet flattering. The flexibility of the pieces are very attractive to her.....

Normally we aim to choose 1 or 2 outfits but Arzu was having so much with the clothes that we just kept going, hence 5 outfits!


 This deep oxblood color totally suits her! And she had shoes to match!

Top - 'Paige' in bordeaux by Kika Paprika ($76)
Pants - 'bootcut pocket' in black by Kika Paprika ($75)
Scarf - 'flora' by Kika Paprika ($28)
Necklace - Lucky Feather & Elephant Necklace by Cookie Lee ($34)
Brass Vintage Filigree Bangle Set ($34) & Crystallized Brass Bracelet ($24) by Cookie Lee

OUTFIT #2
 This top has fun print that matches Arzu's personality. The knee length pencil skirt looks so feminine on her!

Top - 'Stella' in Navy Fresco print by Kika Paprika ($94)
Skirt - 'Jenna' in cognac by Kika Paprika ($66)

OUTFIT #3
 This top is one size too big on her but she made it work. We liked the classic black and white combo topped with a fun tweed fedora!


Top - 'Victoria' in white by Kika Paprika ($68)

Pants - 'boocut pocket' in black by Kika Paprika ($75)
Necklace & Earrings - Hammered Satin by Cookie Lee ($34 & $22)
Hat - $20

OUTFIT #4
This deep shade of 'eggplant' also looks great on Arzu. We would have gone with the longer pencil skirt but my sample rack had the mini version. She is borrowing my boots. :)

Skirt - 'Simone' in black by Kika Paprika ($60)
Necklace - Victorian Doorknob Medallion by Cookie Lee ($20)

Arzu's Photo Shoot was definitely a lot of fun. I love how these outfits suit her energy and beauty....

Steel Cut

 Had a work party at my house and it was miraculously rainy and colder so I could wear a fall combo. I have been dying to pair this grey blouse with the wide legged pants. I could have added a black belt but kept it grey for a total monotone look. The fun hat was the only print...




 Cookie Lee accessories...
 Isn't this button down blouse super cool and so soft and comfy with great details like ribbed sides and cuffs. And to think it needs no ironing and is machine washable!

 This wide legged pants are so soft and fluid. With no zippers or buttons and elastic waist they are very comfy while they look dressy.

TODAY:
The work show at my house was with my pre-school mommy friends and it was a lot of fun as these ladies were totally into trying on all the clothes and having fun while doing so.
My hubby took the kids to lunch and movies while I had the show at the house then we all got changed and went to Legoland for 'Brick or Treat' and Fireworks.
Met up with our group of friends and my sister and her hubby joined us as well.
Fun night.
