The Tube Skirt

For those of you who don't know, now you know! The TUBE SKIRT is huge!
It is so easy to wear, super comfy and you can do sooooo much with it!!
I personally have a good couple of different tubes rotating in my wardrobe.

I'm loving the new Midi length tubes (extra nice for those of us that would rather hide the knees )

The variety of prints that are now showing their beautiful faces are so exciting.
From bright animals, florals, stripes, spots to Aztec.....
Even the fabrications are new and exciting its not just knits and ponti anymore, the likes of River Island are showing lace and leather.
 Colour blocking is still important


You can wear your tube skirt with sneakers, flats, pumps, stilettos.......
With an over sized tee, tie front shirt, bustier, strappy vest, a peek-a-boo crop top..........
The possibilities are endless!

This summer the tube skirt has to be in your wardrobe!!


Explore and enjoy!

u only live once




:) Glad to be back, after my much needed holiday (although it always feels too short). It was my son’s first Christmas, first time on a plane, first time at the beach, and first New Years... which were amazing moments for me that I will treasure forever. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years and that you were surrounded by those you love; and that you are now ready to tackle this year. For those of you still on holiday – enjoy! I jus know that 2012 is gona  be an awesome year. 


Let it be our aim for 2012 to 
work toward our aspirations, 
follow our dreams, 
discover our true passions, 
surround ourselves with loved ones, 
and to be the best that we can be! 

Cherish every moment and live life to the max cause u only live once!


“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” - Joe Lewis –

The beginning of December, the 9th December 2011 to be exact, I took an all important step in the direction of my future when I started KIKI-B my very own blog about fashion, fun, and all things nice. I hope you have enjoyed all the updates thus far.
I look forward to sharing many, many more ideas and inspirations with you in 2012.
