Piece of Keik episode 27: Keiko & Bobby Host Mother’s Day Brunch with @homegoods. #ad
I’m back with my all-time favorite partner, HomeGoods, and this time we are celebrating all of the moms out there. I don’t know why “Mother’s Day” and “brunch” are synonymous in my mind, but they are. Last year I hosted a more casual bagel board party (we had a lot of moms at my house!) and this year I wanted to step it up a notch with the table settings. Instead of going with a matching set, I picked out each unique, individual piece at @homegoods to get the exact look I wanted at a great price. Everything is a HomeGoods find: the linens, cookware, dishes, vases, Bobby’s oven mitts, and even the silicone mold for the flower-shaped butter! See more in my stories and check out your local HomeGoods to see what’s in store. #HomeGoodsFinds

I made a dress out of bed sheets the day before my trip to Japan 🇯🇵 , and this is how it turned out! I wore it at Tokyo Disneyland at the end of our trip and the loose silhouette was perfect for my day of trying 7 different flavors of popcorn and eating every Mickey shaped treat I could find. 🥰

Here are the details:

Cost: Cotton sheets were under $5, daisy trim was in a huge bag of trims that I got for a few bucks, and I’ve had the trim for the sleeves for quite awhile (I think I actually got those at an estate sale). All in, let’s call it about 7 dollars worth of materials.

Pattern: Vintage @mccallpatterncompany 3512 (view c)

Time / ease of pattern: I didn’t keep track of time, but this is an exceptionally easy pattern to follow and a very forgiving silhouette, so no extra alterations are required.

Piece of Keik episode 26: Keiko Lynn Has Nothing to Wear!!! 🇯🇵 I’ve been planning a family trip to Japan for months, but waited until a few days before our flight to decide that I should make myself a new jacket…instead of doing way more important things.

My mom gave me this vintage comforter to make into something new, since there were several holes and patches and quite a bit of fading. I did some creative cuts and hand-stitched some tears to make the most comfy jacket ever. It’s like wearing bedding outside…because that’s what I’m doing.

I love Japan with my whole entire heart and am so excited to be back. Have you ever been to Japan? What would you like to see while I’m there?

Narrated by the fantastic Baz Jones.

Piece of Keik episode 25: Keiko Lynn’s Ode to Winter.

Consider this an argument for how important the arts are in schools. I have always coped and healed through creation, as long as I can reminder. The arts in many forms were a safe haven at school, and kept me interested in living, learning, and continuing on when I was at my lowest. It still gives me so much peace and satisfaction to create through sewing, makeup, photography, making these videos. Making this series has brought me a lot of joy.

I didn’t intend for this episode to touch on grief, but as I was making this costume and filming the process, I thought of Miku, my little snow princess (Sprincess was one of the 100+ nicknames I had for her) every step of the way. And so the story wrote itself. She was the best good girl to ever grace this Earth. I will never stop missing her. How lucky I was to have her by my side. ❤️

This is a self-made production in every sense, but my narrator Baz Jones always makes it whole. Thank you, Baz, for bringing my script so much warmth and magic.

My Barbie dreams have come true for a second time

My Barbie dreams have come true for a second time with the latest @kiplingusa x @barbie collection. 🩷 As the daughter of [a] Barbie and Ken, I have always wanted to be a part of the Barbie universe. Being a #KiplingPartner makes that a reality, and I’m so grateful. This might be their best collection, yet! Shop it in my stories. #KiplingxBarbie #LiveLight

What I really wore: One week of daily outfits (minus one because of an exceptionally bad headache).
Most of you voted to see my daily outfits all in one shot, so I took quick videos every day last week of exactly what I wore. You know, other than costumes and stuff. 🤪

One thing that always seems to surprise people is how often I wear pants and shorts. Maybe because I wear dresses so often in my more “produced” videos? I actually do wear a lot of dresses and skirts (especially skorts) but for some reason I didn’t wear any last week. 🤷🏻‍♀️ here’s a quick breakdown of each look:
1. Old beret (not vintage, just old), vintage 70s lace up jeans via @trashevintage, vintage disco lurex top via @playclothesvintage, vintage horse embroidered Levi’s jacket (gift from my mom’s friend), @freepeople loafers, vintage Coach bag
2. @jumper_maybach beanie, vintage coat, thrifted shirt, @melissaofficial shoes, @hammiesshorts, @crystalhazejewelry, thrifted bag
3. Vintage shirt and pants (thrifted the top, bought the pants from stylebattles on @whatnot
4. Brixton beret, vintage top (cut from a house dress — that’s how I bought it), old asos pants, @adc.charlotte flats
5. Vintage sweater, thrifted y2k era XOXO shorts, thrifted sweatshirt jacket, @jessicabutrich x @afashionnerd shoes
