GIVEAWAY-Kait Emerson Designs AND NuxieMade

As the Leaves start to change and our mornings get chillier we know that Fall is near. I just love this time of year. Pack away the shorts and swimsuits and out with the sweaters, boots and Nuxiemade Beanies. For me, it's a time of change. While,I love my sunny so cal days. I just love the Fall days here at the Beach. Breezy, chilly, and scent of salty ocean in the air. But really, I just love to design the Fall/Winter Line of Kait Emerson Designs. This year I thought I would have a little fun and do a Mini Punk Collection/Nuxiemade Collaboration to start off the Season. At every Art Fair I do, I always sell out of the One-of-Kind Punk Items. Rather than limit them to just those that attend the art shows I do such as Patchwork and Unique LA to name a few. I thought I offer them to all my Fans near & far.





So when it came time to Shoot the Mini Punk Collection
I thought of Nicole Benitez Photography. I just Love working with new Photographers. Needless to say, I was thrilled when Nicole agreed to shoot. Nicole is Modern Lifestyle and Urban couture Photographer. She is based here in So Cal. Married and Mom to 5 amazing little ones. Here work is just brilliant! To learn more about Nicole you can take a look at here amazing portfolio Here and Follow her life as a photographer on her FaceBook fan page


To giveback to all our fans we wanted to do a Amazing Giveaway and Nicole Benitez Photography agreed to Host. Today, is the last day to get your Entry in to Win a Fabulous Dress Knot Apron Dress by Kait Emerson Designs AND one of those darling Nuxiemade Beanies we all Love.

Head on over to Nicole's Blog for Details and Enter your Chance to Win!

Lollipops & Slingshots Photography

Oh My! I'm so excited to share with you tonight.You've all seen her work before in my past collections. Found here and here . I am thrilled about this latest session. I contacted my friend Theresa over at Lollipops & Slingshots Photography to shoot some of the Kait Emerson Designs spring line. So, the images arrived and I instantly loaded the images.. In my mind I thought to myself, "What did she come up with this time". Hmmm.. Love that anticipation! Like a child at Christmas. As usual, I was just blown away with what she delivered.Theresa is amazingly talented and so creative in so many ways. And sweet little Peyton.. My Goodness! Can she get any more Darling? The girl just Shines!



I also collaborated with Melissa over at Nuxiemade. She's the one behind all those darling hats you see paired with KED. Melissa has recently launched these darling Headbands to her line.You can see her complete line in her Etsy Shop.

Have a Great Day!

Spring is coming...

More Spring on the way.. I'm going to continue posting pictures of the new KED Collection as they come in. Today, I was lucky enough to spend some time in the park with the kids, Kait's BFF Bella and her Mom; Dee. Oh!it was such a gorgeous day here in OC. We had sky blue skies and big, fluffy white clouds and the grass everywhere was so green. It was just beautiful! What better day to do a quick KED Shoot. I was so excited and giddy Bella was on board to model.
Kait however, was not feeling it today..She advised me that she didn't want to model. Well...OK then.. We have darling Bella to steal the Spotlight. So off we went to have a little fun! This is another fabulous piece from the Spring Collection. This grow with me Pillow Dress is must have for this spring Season. Beautiful pastels with a vintage, modern print. We completed the outfit with a sweet flower headband from the ever so wonderful NuxieMade.

Here's a few shots from today..
