Don't get Haunting Guise. It's not what a Kennen wants early game; it merely delays his core. While it gives some nice stats, Kennen is a very item dependent champion to get the best use of his abilities. Work towards your Hextate Revolver, it gives you a nice amount of AP and the spell vamp. Beacuse of the most recent nerfs to WoTA, you can choose to rush it or not. I don't anymore, as the 400 gold increase is a bit too much to farm for. Then either go for Rylais/Zhonyas. You can get one, then the other, but the problem I have been finding is that it doesn't give enough ability power. By that time in the game, you should have 290 AP (if hextate, rylais, and zhonyas), which is far less than the opposing AP mid because they usually have Rabadon's by then. If you're doing well, then you can make both, but I'd go for one -> rabadon. Get merc treads; the mpen on Kennen isn't as important and he needs the cc-reduction. In my opinion QSS gets rid of one of Kennen's very important item slot. It's probably personal preference, but QSS can be used; I just don't like it. Void staff can finally be used if it's that far into the game, and by then, even AD carries have some mr. (QSS will usually take up this void staff spot if you choose to have it.)
