What Happens in Vegas...

...will soon make its way to Seattle, if all goes as planned!

Greetings Kick It friends and fans!  We're back from an exciting buying trip in Las Vegas (along with about 100,000 fashionado's from around the globe) hoping the dozens of orders we wrote will dazzle you the moment the goods arrive.  We ordered mostly for Spring/Summer apparel and shoes, plus boots for next season!  Here's a fun and colorful look at our race around the enormous trade show floors on our quest for new trends, the best deals, fabulous new color stories and (the best of all) the cool people of the fashion world!

Nothing symbolizes the coming of Springtime more than the rainbow of colors in Spring fashion .
Here's Sarah--our Lani California rep--rocking one of their new maxi-dresses with a soft white cardigan. (Look at that print! We so want that outfit.)
Striped Mash-ups are HUGE for Spring! We ordered all of them!
Royal Blue continues strong for Spring, so we're bringing in a few  pops of it--especially to mix with Mochas, Taupes and Apricots.
Hey Michelle--Urban X's store manager and tradeshow floor rock star!  She was helping four people at once, smiling all the way!
Here's one of the Urban X sets we're bringing in.   Bonus: these cotton-modal garments are hand-dyed in L.A.  and are ridiculously soft to the touch.
The "Black and Cream" color story is so on-trend for Spring.  We loved it and ordered up a storm from Mono B Apparel.
Hey Ari! Our Las Vegas Umgee connection helped us pick out some bold and bright geo-prints, like this gorgeous belted tunic! (It was pure luck that this top matched Ari's Navy & Coral outfit.  Now, if we could only find out where she got those rockin' fab earrings!?!?!)
Here's the Survival  UK crew including husband and wife design team  Linda & Sanjay (second and forth from the left) along with their beautiful fit models.  For those of you who LOVE Survival's soft fabrics, flowy skirts and comfortable fits, you'll be happy to know we loaded up on all of these!  Expect the first installment soooooon (expecting an early March delivery)!
Just one of dozens of new Survival statement tee's on their way!  Coral continues to dazzle throughout Spring and Summer--probably because it is such a flattering color on nearly all skin tones; and white (our favorite bright) will be essential in any closet this Spring.
MINTY FRESH! While scouring the floor, we came upon this booth and could not believe how gorgeous this display was~~featuring the season's number one hottest color: cool mint (intermingled with soft peach and pinkish beige.)  Look for several key pieces--especially sheer blouses & lace--in mint coming to Kick It this season. 
Hey Kait, we love your outfit: boots, legging and lace, our favorite!!  Kait is showing off the awesome new jeans-leggings-jeggings line she reps called, "Butter-Stretch by 12K", that we picked up.  More details coming soon but  think "super cute with super stretch". 
We couldn't resist popping into this busy booth called Hot & Delicious. Wow, look at all those buyers! We found some darling Summer dresses here!
"Marilyn Monroe" Dresses are huge this Spring!  Here are a few updated version of these ultra desirable garments, and we will be showcasing a few of these beauties this Spring.
Hey Alex! Thanks for writing up our huge Lumiere Fall sweater order! Year after year, Lumiere delivers the most stylish sweaters and this year the new collection is sure to please.  
A peek at a few of the soft & fuzzy shoulders we're bringing in for early Fall 2013...
...Speaking of Fall: 
We scored dozens of new Kick It Boots for next Fall.  Here's just a hint of what's to come:

New Bronx & Diba-True Styles coming this Fall. 
We are excited to bring in a few killer boots~as shown on the lovely fit model~by both Carlos Santana, in concert with  Fergie (pun intended).  
Get ready everyone: the heeled bootie is the top Stylist's pick for Fall.  Here are two Kenneth Cole Reaction styles we're in love with!
If all goes as planned, expect these booties in store by  September!
Introducing SmartDogs! New leather slip ons with this innovative bubble sole technology inside that feels like heaven.  We think you'll need at least three in each color this Fall.
Helllooooo  Valerie, our new and super adorable Rocket Dog  rep.  We are loving the new lace-up skimmers, easy flats and cushy sole sandals.  Watch for these and other styles this Summer!
Ordering K'Cole Reaction is always fun!
We hope you've enjoyed this window into all things "Future" for the Kick It spring line-up, and do keep an eye on this blog for real-time updates of new Spring arrivals. We can't wait to show you in-person what's new, brought in just for you!
