The Erin debuts at JMU

I was so excited to read Summer Wind's blog post about her weekend recap and see that she wore The Erin~Game Day Dress to JMU's homecoming weekend! It was wonderful to see a debut of the first game day dress in my collection. The Erin, The Fair, and The Elizabeth Anne can all be custom made in Game Day Colors for your Favorite Team!

Don't you just Love Football Season!

The Erin Debuts in Charleston

I was sooooo excited to receive a picture from my Friend, Virginia who wore The Erin to her brothers rehearsal dinner in Charleston this past August. It looks like it was a lovely event and I miss you all! The Erin is sooooo perfect for an evening in Charleston.

I just love seeing pictures of Designs By Kara Kihm at different events so please send me pics of where you wore your favorite dress :)

The Erin Has Arrived

The Erin has arrived and my dear friend Mary B was sweet enough to throw it on for a pic right before our one hour power walk! I'm sure the last thing she wanted to do was change out of her sweats to take pics, but I am so grateful! It's always easier to get a feel for an outfit when somebody is modeling it! Thanks Mary B :)

The Erin in Navy and White is made of pique and cotton sateen.

Also not shown, the Erin will come in Tan Seersucker with a Pink Bow Belt.

What Inspires me...the things I love

I love anything from seersucker, star gazer lilies, and dragon flies, to starfish, and the beach. I got married on the beach and nothing is better than walking barefoot in the sand in your wedding dress! Pink in any shade is my favorite color. I am trying very hard to branch out, but I just can't get enough of it! Bright pinks, lights pinks, magentas, corals, hot pinks, salmons you name the shade I have something in my wardrobe in that color. My addiction to pink has been the challenge in my clothing line! I want everything to be pink with ruffles so I am working very hard to become more versatile. I love my dogs, they make me smile everyday. Lucile is a bouvier and Leonard is an SPCA speciality..... a pit beagle. My house is covered in yellow and blue and bright colors. Toile is my favorite decor for my home and it is found in nearly every room in some form. I think ruffles and bows on clothing are a must--the girlier the better! My house is covered in my monogram-from pillow cases to shower curtains, to glasses to towels, to clothing. My all-time favorite designer is Ralph Lauren but my go to for any occasion was always CK Bradley (We will miss her bright fun flirty dresses). Now that my favorite dresses are no longer all the more reason to start my new project. I LOVE nature and am always inspired when I am on the water. I grew up going to Smith Mountain Lake or to the beach in Beauford N.C most weekends. Anytime I am near the water I find a sense of peace. I love to travel and still believe to this day that if I went to visit Italy I would never come home! My favorite city is Boston, but Richmond holds a special place in my heart. I always have a camera on hand so that I can capture the moment. My goal is to do once nice thing for somebody else every single day...... Try it! The ultimate mode of communication is laugher. No body makes me laugh like my husband.
