I kind of have a thing going for chartreuse these days. 

Even more fun-ness is in store for the Spring! 

So hang tight!

NEWBIE ALERT : NOREL

Pin It Now!

 Hold the phone! 

Where's the color you ask?

What coffee beans do for the nose, is what alabaster does for my eyes.

Not too bright of a white, yet not too tan of a creme. 

Just. Right. 

Plus alabaster is a color too you know! 

Just wanted to offer a little somethin-somethin for the playful 

minimalists out there. I know they exist.

I love what this does to a boldly colored top! You should try it! 

Dance on over to the shoppe! --Kel 

AND WE'RE LIVE!!!!

Pin It Now!

It has been a long time coming, but (r-ki-tekt)

finally has a home! 

Carving out a space was at the top of the list for the year. 

To see it happen is a bit of a dream. 

There is still much to be done and many items to add to the shoppe

 so stay tuned for tons of updates!!

 To toast let's celebrate with a sale shall we!

Our hopes for an early Spring in the form of a necklace. 

Go ahead and tip toe into the shoppe for a round of color! --Kel

NEWBIE ALERT

Pin It Now!

Nope.

Couldn't do it.

 I couldn't stay away. 

I told myself that I would take the rest of the year off after 

having the baby but with an extreme case of cabin fever, I simply couldn't.

Honestly, I was sitting on so much goodness that I was excited about and 

didn't want to hoard all the goodies. 

Like the pennant pins. I collaborated with HoneyComb Studio's Courtney to 

create a "pretty things" badge of honor, if you will.

Totally obsessed with marriage between white and gold right now. 

 

There is so much more clarity this round. 

And confetti!!

I'm starting to feel like I am creating items that are truly 

reflective of my personality and that coincide with the DNA of the company. 

With that being said, yes there are still polka dots, shiny details, and tassel frill.  

The ingredients to a perfectly balanced swoon diet.

I'm hoping as the new year ushers itself in that the 

reach will expand beyond the computer screen and

land in a few brick and mortars. 

Nothing but exciting things happening here. 

Take a visit to the shoppe to scope out some additional 

pieces!!--Kel

MAJOR THANKS

Pin It Now!

I am extremely humbled by this post. 

By the people that have ventured over to my shoppe

just to look...to shop...to favorite...to pin.

It has been an up hill ride for sure...

and there are tons more hills to climb, but I am totally 

enjoying it the entire way. 

So Thank You to all of the brides that have allowed me to pull there

color story board together with a cinch. All you school girls

looking for a bit of lovely for your formals. Those that are in the awkward

bangs-grow-out phase that clip your fly-aways back with something 

a little bit more fun than a black bobbi. 

To the shoppes that have taken me in. 

To the bloggers that have included pieces in their style posts. 

Thank you. 

Cheers to you all!!--Kel

HAPPY MONDAY

Pin It Now!

Happy Monday Loves!

I hope you had yourselves a fantastic weekend. 

For me, it was pretty busy. 

I celebrated my 4th niece's 1st birthday with my family. 

Family time is usually the meat of my weekend time.  Work squeezes itself in there

too. Filling orders, creating newness, and (trying to) clean the mess I've made during the week.

 I have a couple of new pieces making there way into the shoppe this week. 

Including this one. Thanks for all of your sweet words about it. 

I've actually been sitting on this for a while, but I was a little apprehensive about pushing it out 

because it is entering another category. But, taking a jump is part of this 

whole "make your business work" thingy!

Speaking of growth, help me get to 300 likes on the (r-ki-tekt) Facebook page and 

we'll celebrate with a lovely 30% off anything in shoppe discount. 

Stay posted throughout the week for updates. 

And go on ahead and make today magical, aye!

Bisous!!--Kel

WELL HELLO THERE

Pin It Now!

Well Hiya!!!

It has been forever and a half since I have done a post.

Sorry about that. The past week was sort of a bruise. 

My phone died. I know, I know!!! Hashtag 1st world problems. 

But that problem also meant a slow down on a social scheme.

And a loss of TONS of photos that were for a few blog posts. 

Thankfully, I finally got my new one in and I am back! 

Never thought I would crave a piece of technology so badly, 

but I guess when you create a platform such as this, it becomes

as essential as you right hand. 

Speaking of hands....

 

Have you checked out the latest venture in the shoppe!!?

Yeah, Chloe is always wanting something that is for her size.

And I figured she is proooobably not the only mini chick asking for that.

She's been my wing woman lately. Picking hair colors and names and dresses. 

Getting her into the creative groove early.... wink wink 

 While I was away I have been diligently working on newbies.

These finger puppets for SeEm by (r-ki-tekt) just went up. 

 I am kind of jealous of their dresses. 

I have a serious crush on Liberty of London....Everything!!!

It's all so whimsical and girlie...

As always I try my best to keep the mood fresh and fun...

Hope you like.

As for me 

I don't have much of an update for you, other 

than, I have never felt so completely free and me lately.

A large part due to my job transition from inside the box to freelance. 

Oh, I guess I haven't mentioned that either yet, huh. 

Along with building (r-ki-tekt), I have decided to try my

hand at freelance Design and Blogging... and being a creative hand.

The latter pertains to taking larger visual projects and really re-immersing myself 

back into what I know best: Making.

I'm really working on remembering all that is truly pleasurable and not so much, 

in order to maintain this blissful medium I have recently discovered. 

I want my hands to remain busy at all times, as I feel as though they were 

somewhat bound together for so long. All in all, I'm feeling very

 Catepillar to Butterfly these days and it pretty much kicks ass! 

So if you are looking for Blogger collaborations or know

of anyone looking for a little color kitten to spread a little shine their way

please let me know. I'd love you forever for it.

I hope you all are doing amazing. 

And I can't wait to be back to my regular blogging schedule! 

In the mean time, you can always keep up with my antics on

Twitter, Facebook, & Instagram. 

Until next time...

Cheers & Bisous!---Kel

 

 

(R-KI-TEKT) FIESTA

Pin It Now!

Yip! 

So I told you Friday that something lovely would be arriving

and here it is! 

 (r-ki-tekt) has hopped the border and can now be found on Baba Souk.

The curator of the shop is the awesome Stephanie. She

in the contributor for the Color Fest column on DLF. 

 Her eye for funky yesness for color kittens is really keen. 

I'm excited to be amongst some other wonderful creators and artist. 

Take care of your visual cardio workout for the day and 

take a stroll on over!

S/S-SALE

Pin It Now!

It's that time of year again. 

When you go through your closet, drawers, 

& boxes to survey what you should continue to love on 

and what deserves a little love from someone else. 

Well, I am doing the same thing and I think you all deserve a little 

random dose of pretty to love on going into the holiday season. 

To make room for the newbies, I am having a huge sale

25-50% off some of my favorite beauts that would love to be fashioned by you or sent as a gift.

(The pretty packaging rule is enforced here so they're ready to share)

Yup that means Jewelry, Bridal and Hair Accessories!

PINS & NEEDLES

Pin It Now!

discovered here

So excited to put up the new items in the shop. 

I go through these periods where I am not as certain about 

what I am doing with my life. 

Always trying to make it worth while and magical. 

That can get tiring. Especially when you stay up until 2 in the morning

giving into your create fix and not always succeeding. 

So I have decided to just have fun and create what makes me happy. 

Stay tuned over the next couple of months for doses of pretty to 

land in the shop.

Cheers to Thursday

(and if today is your "Friday" give a lil whoooop whoooop!!!)
