// WINTER JACKETS

// New York Fashion Week '14

Besides the fact that it's spring weather in New York City today, I feel like we should talk about Winter jackets [selfishly because I really need to get a new one]. Do I get a pea coat again? A really nice Mackage jacket to match my big sister? Or do I go on trend and match what was on the runway for Fall '14? That Richard Chai wrap jacket that sort of looks like a housecoat I'm really liking. They are all over New York. The BCBG fur is also really lovely. I walked into Reformation on Sunday, [A little boutique store on Dan's street in the Lower East Side], and found a long pea coat. By long I mean like below my knees, wait sort of the length as that wrap jacket. I'll let you know what I end up deciding. Thanks for listening.

As for you fellas, I've included some of my favourite looks from Richard Chai's runway. There is nothing sexier than a man in a ball cap and a pea coat. Or a toque paired with a pea coat. Alright that's enough of my rambling. If you haven't read your horoscope yet they are updated! Read yours here. x -C

 

// HOLIDAY SEASON

// Candice Kaye Studio

Holiday season is coming! Which means Christmas lights everywhere, and holiday parties, and fancy dresses, and oversized winter jackets, and ice skating in Bryant Park, and malt wine, and Christmas Markets, and...

I got an order last week for a Farrah Brooch, her description was; I have a holiday party, and I can't wait to dress up my oversized coat with this brooch. I thought about it for a second and thought Farrah really is the best holiday addition to your wardrobe. Not to mention the perfect gift! I wanted to make sure your get your orders in soon before the holiday shipment runs out, we only made a limited amount! Click here to shop now! x -C

 

// LAYERED

// Candice Kaye Studio

As Dan and I were walking out of Dave and Busters Saturday night in Times Square [I beat him at literally every game] [that's a lie], we saw little white things fall from the sky. November is here. Which means we are closer to winter, which meant it was time to pull out all my heavy sweaters again. I'm not the happiest about it. However, Farrah really does like good layered. Alright Monday, I'm ready for you. I hope you had a good weekend! x -C

 

// FAV NYC SPOT #4

// Location: Ace Hotel, 20 W 29th St, New York, NY

Oh hello. Happy Halloween!! Dan and I went to an open bar Halloween party last night. Did I say it was open bar? Hurting unit today let me tell ya. Anyway, here is another Fav NYC Spot: Ace Hotel. I've stayed here a couple of times when I used to travel here. The lobby is so awesome. Picture big couches, long tables, and people everywhere. Love all the detail in the decor. Oh, and there's a photo booth, and I mean who doesn't like a photo booth. Definitely a spot of check out!

 

// NEW YORK DETAIL

// Location: Somewhere in Soho

I'm a sucker for New York and it's ability to keep old traditions alive. Like how every morning my coffee is served to me in a brown paper bag. Puts a smile on my face every morning.

Soooo, what's everyone being for Halloween?? Dan and I are being... can't tell you. I'll surprise you tomorrow. x -C

 

 

// COZY DINNERS

// Maman Cafe, 239 Centre St, New York, NY

Birthday dinners and private tastings. Maman looks cozy during the day while holding a coffee and at night while serving dinner. Elisa has started to open her nights up for private seating. I love the idea. The food is incredible as well!

Anyways, here are some photos from last night. I got home last night and could not sleep, so I started editing. It's Wednesday : ) which means new horoscopes! Click here to read yours. x -C

 

// LATELY 10.27.14

// 10.27.14

It's 11:30 pm. I literally just walked in my door from 9 am this morning. Not too abnormal for a New York day. Maman has started to open up their nights for private dinners. Tonight was a tasting. Let me tell you, delicious. Perfect way to end a long day. I met some incredible people tonight. All from such different backgrounds, all doing such incredible and inspiring things. It's nights like these that make me hate New York for making me exhausted, but love it all at one time for introducing me to people I would have never met anywhere else. 

Lately it's been catching up on sketches for new designs, birthday celebrations with the boyfriend, and Selfies wearing Farrah. I've started to wear my chuncky jewelry again too. Maybe it's time to start designing something different? Rings perhaps? See, brain is constantly moving. Time to shut it off. It's bed time. I hope you had a lovely day. Talk to you in the morning.
