Shades&Suits.

In order to start off the beach season just right, you have to find the perfect bathing suit and of course the perfect shades. Since we love our customers so much we decided to give you plenty of options depending on your likes and dislikes. Also, we wanted to factor in that not everyone has the same body shape, face shape, which will inevitably lead up to.. no one has the exact same style. I think we might just have pulled out the most awesome variety there is..




Waiting for the Sun - all made out of teawood. Made in France. They come in 3 different styles (as shown above) and each come in wood or black wood.




The one piece suit - There is no way to get around these beauties anymore. To get more use out of these suits you can pair them with a skirt or jeans and it's just like wearing a body suit. Check! and Mate! I personally love the way these 3 play off of the wood frames. Such a retro look and I'm lovin' it!




Eco Optics - We just started carrying these sunglasses and I think I have fallen in love. I bought the aviator ones in black and they are super awes. The lenses are fantastic; I feel like I see even clearer with them on. We currently have these 3 styles in stock in these colors. These sunglasses are all made out of recycled metals and plastic. The box they come in is made out of recycled paper and they also are involved in a non- profit organization called "one frame one tree". Which means with each pair sold they plant a tree.




Ahh the beloved Bikini - We work all spring just to make sure we look just right in you. We have a few different styles here. String bottoms, brief bottom, triangle top and bandeau top. The prints are outstanding. The Kelly B suit comes in the blue tie-dye (as shown) and we also have the purple tie-dye (made of 100% organic cotton). The Bantu suits are one of my favorites based on their prints and story. The company is African based and currently all products are manufactured in Ethiopia to help their economy grow.

Enjoy these Hot Summer Days that are upon us!

P.O.T.D.

For my pick of the day I went with a LBD and spiced it up with splashes of color. I first chose the dress, went straight to the belt, and then went on from there. I choose to go for a vibrant earring to play off the color of the belt. For the shoes I went for a more subtle color because I didn't want to take to much attention away from the belt and earrings. The bag is a few shades darker then the shoes which is good because we never want to go to matchy matchy. I am obsessed with this necklace and I think I will be obsessed with it for the rest of my life. Something about lockets, I don't know what it is.. but there is something that makes me fall in love.



Each piece is available at Kaight online and instore!

MociunPleet.

Yesterday we were informed that the July issue of Elle is out. As most of you know, I have been awaiting the arrival of this issue because I was lucky enough to partake in a photoshoot for an Aveeno advertisement which focused on the ladies of Kaight. Once we found out it is actually available for purchase Kate went on the hunt. unfortunately she wasn't able to find the magazine anywhere in a 5mile radius. Instead she came back to the store with the latest Boho issue. As I was reading and picking up on some great "green" tips, designers, and get aways, I came across a 7 page spread of 2 of our fabulous designers. The spread featured Caitlin Mociun and Samantha Pleet. I fell in love with the both of them when I first saw their designs in the Fall and the Summer designs are just as beautiful. I then went to their websites and researched their spring summer collections for a second time and was taken back. The graphics/prints might be my absolute favorite part of it all.
