// JERSEY SHORE

// 

Just kidding, Dan and I were in our winter jackets while taking this photo. Going to the beach in my J Crew boots still did the trick though. Something about the smell of salt water makes life better. The shore has become my vacation land from the craziness of New York City. It's nothing like what we saw on TV people. The shore is a glorious place to be. Especially is the summer. So many fun actives - with the raddest beach vibe [that's me trying to sound like a cool surfer person]. I can't wait to slip into my bikini, sit myself down on that beach and let the sun turn my body brown. I've turned a ugly green color I'm so white. 

Anyways- I hope you enjoy the day. x -C

// WEST VILLAGE CHARM

// Location: West 4th & 11th Street.

I took this yesterday afternoon in a cafe after a weekend on the shore with Beach views. It was one of those magical snowy Sundays in New York. New York looked so peaceful. This has to be one of my favorite photos of this city since living here. It's nothing special, I mean it was taken from my iPhone. I guess I love how accurately it took compared to what this view looked like in real life. it's hard to capture a moment that looks identical to how you see it in real life.. just me? Ah the West Village, you always seem to impressive me with your handsome charm. 

// WEEKEND VIBES

// Location: Maman's bathroom 

TGIF. Dan and I are peace-ing out for the weekend to the Jersey Shore. A weekend away from it all is just what the doctor ordered. I have packed my sketch book, but left the computer at home. I wish you the best of weekends! Talk Monday x -C

Ps. What color is this dress? This is blowing my mind that some people see white and gold.  

// LATELY

// 02.25.15

HAYY. Life lately. Flowers, paints, photoshop, plan making/interviews with Elisa at Maman, editing a video ([WHICH I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU] [the video will be a collection of little bits of life which I have been filming only through my iPhone. I wanted the feeling to be very homemade-esque - the photos of me above are out-takes of some of the clips]), nights out with the man, and refilled coffee? Yup, sounds about right. It's all very exciting - but also starting to get a little over whelming. Not with the amount of work - just too many ideas. I'm really trying to push myself with this new collection. You can except the unexpected! Ah can't wait to start painting. 

There are new horoscopes up! Read yours here. x -C

// ROSES ARE BLUE

// Custom Wallpaper

Freshly custom. Good morning :) How are you. How's your morning been? I woke up sneezing. Yup, catching a cold, and not liking it. Early nights a lots of tea for me this week. Here's a new custom order for wallpaper. Those roses are to be blown up to about 10"-11" - I'm trying to push for 15"-17" but we see. Maybe too much rose? Happy Tuesday. x -C

// MAY FIFTH

// Collection N 11

It's official, I have set a date. May 5th, 2015 will be the launch date of my first collection ever. Based around fairytales, love stories, and lucky numbers, you can expect boundaries pushed and designs never before seen. Above are bits from my collection processes. I've been working on new flowers, new painting techniques, and reading/watching a lot a lot of fairytales [the last part of that sentence as been my most favourite part].

// SLEEP NO MORE

// Location: McKittrick Hotel

I got off at the wrong station Friday night after work to meet Dan at the off broadway show - Sleep No More. We had dinner plans at 6 pm sharp and it was 6:02 pm before I realized I was lost. With a combination of jogging and sprint walking, I made it from 37th and 8th to 27th and 10th out of breath and sweating. I am so out of shape. 10 blocks and two avenues really shouldn't have been that difficult. Dan and I finally sat down at the Heath, the restaurant attached to the Hotel. Two cocktails, a full tummy and we were ready for show.

I have been dying to see this. Sleep No More is an interactive play with incredible dancers, no speaking, and a 'stage' of 6 floors. It took us a while to understand that we had to actually follow the characters in order to understand the plot. The best part is I could go back about three or four more times and see a completely different story each time. Definitely a must see. Happy Monday x -C
