Wow, this week feels like it went by in two days but with a month full of things going on. Fashion Week has started, Market has started, Candice's work life has taken on a new role at a fashion development company that she's fallen in love with. It's like smart fashion. My life of finding myself in places that I would have never imagined is still continuing. I'm not complaining. It keeps me on my toes.

It's 8:36 pm on a Friday night. I just got home about a half hour ago. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and Modern Family is on my television. Classy New York Friday night, am I right? I really should work out or something. I should. Or I could put on a dress and drag my roommate to the soho house for our favourite cocktail. I really should nap too. I'm exhausted. mmm ok, getting ready. Happy TGIF x -C

As I threw on my T shirt with my black Club Monaco skirt and searched for my heels for work this morning [it's the start of Market, also known as a the busiest month for fashion], I thought about my weekend and it felt like so long ago.

Thank goodness the weather on Sunday was sunny and beautiful. We took the boat to F Cove, and didn't leave there until later that evening. F Cove is literally just a bunch of boats sitting beside each other with music and coolers filled with diet cokes... 

When I got home last night from work, I finished up the video from the weekend! That will be up later : ) The last weekend of summer really did end just beautifully. 

One of the girls brought over flash tattoos, which we stuck on ourselves before F Cove. I haven't felt that excited about arts and crafts in a while. I've become obsessed. Ordered more this morning. There are new horoscopes up! You can read yours here!

 

// BEACH TOWN

// BEACH TOWN

Last weekend of summer. Thank goodness it's going to be 80's and sunny all week. Although, It is September, which means fall, which means my favourite season of the year.

Anyway, here is a half recap of my weekend at the Shore [more tomorrow]. Dan and I escaped to the beach for the day. He taught me how to dive under waves. Between you and I they made me a little scared, they were definitely on  the larger side. I've decided my dreams on becoming a surf babe are going to have to wait until I have proper lessons. 

We stopped at the cutest breakfast place before the attacking waves adventure at the beach. I believe it was called the General Store. Full of antiques! If you walked through the eating area, there was another huge area full of more antiques. Gold mine I tell ya. I can't wait to have my own home. I feel bad for whoever has to marry me. So many fun arts and crafts activities. 

Dan introduced me to the Pork Roll. Apparently it's a huge thing in Jersey. I'm not the biggest fan of pork, but it really is delicious. 

Ok, that's all for this morning. Time to get ready for the day. I'll have more up tomorrow on our day at F Cove. I also took a lot of video footage this weekend. Hopefully have something put together for this week! K bye. x -C

// SUMMER RECAP

// SUMMER RECAP 

Summer recap: 

Besides working like a crazy person the day FIT ended, when I look back to May, a lot of fun things have happened. 

Curls: 

Not sure when I decided to go natural with the hair on my head, but it's become my summer look. Diffuse and hairspray that's it! I've made my hair blonder, and let my roots grow out just a little. Maybe it's because of the surf vibes when the heat hits. I'm subconsciously evolving my look. 

Whiskey:

I just recently learned that I'm allergic to red wine. I know. It's awful. But, in return I've turned to other alternatives. When Dan was studying to fall asleep some nights *cough* every night *cough* he would pour himself a glass of whiskey. I've caught on. Just because I want to be as cool as him. Whiskey and a big ice cube [with a touch of water].

Taught myself how to build a website: 

It was time to grow up, iCandi and I knew it, so did Farrah and Calixte. It was an annoying and frustrating process, but really fun collecting everything I have learned in the last couple years into one website. 

Layering:

Ring Layering has become my new most favourite thing. One Saturday morning while I was sitting at my favourite coffee shop working on this website, there was a lady sitting beside me with not only the chicest outfit on, but the coolest ring styles. Her wedding finger didn't have the typical diamond, there were layers of vintage diamond rings. Haha, looked pretty expensive. But I fell in love. I've never really been a diamond ring person - gold bans were always my thing. Not after I saw hers. 

New York Weekends:

This whole new york culture of weekends away, I'm totally digging. My weekend to Montauk with the ladies was just such a good time. It's like Cottage every weekend but with really fun bars, and beaches and surf people everywhere.

Jersey shore...Jersey, Jersey, Jersey. When I first moved here I knew I wanted to Hamptons on the weekends and be all chic and stuff. That's when I met Dan. Then I went to the shore, then I fell in love.. with the shore. 

Fams

The only thing missing from my summer. My family. Weekends home aren't enough. Life is just a little bit more fun with them here. 

Ahh, summer I'm missing you already. I am pretty excited about fall outfits though. I'll be at the shore all weekend again. I shall talk to you on Monday!

So according to my horoscope this morning, Cancers think we're 'having a life', but really we are running on a treadmill. I really dislike treadmills.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized I really do feel like I'm running on a treadmill, a New York treadmill.  Sometimes this treadmill likes to give me a break and lower it's speed, but most of the time it likes to stay at 5.5 - a little faster than a light jog. How do I deal with this speed? My mornings. If I need to be at work for 9:30, I purposely wake up about 45 minutes earlier to sit in front of my computer, drink my coffee, and slowly wake up for the day. This morning was spent going over designs for new pieces! Farrah and Calixte need another sister I think.

Happy Wednesday. x -C

New York during summer time is better than I ever imagined. So much better that I have made myself completely exhausted. It's so hard to stay in and sleep when there are so many activities waiting for you outside. Above are photos of date nights in Bryant Park, finally getting to the driving range at Chelsea Piers, Saturday morning runs down the Hudson River, Soho House elevator selfies [because Dan and I were accidentally matching], and suntanning with Farrah in Washington Square Park. There are so many more things I would like to do before the weather gets cold. Typing the word 'cold' just made my heart break a little. Let's hope it all happens.

Ok, Happy Tuesday! x -C
