// OUTTAKES

// Outtakes from The Style Line interview [photos: Bridget Badore]

I've never really been 'interviewed' before. Yes, I've been on TV and did the whole photo shoot thing, I've been behind the camera- in front of the camera, but never asked questions, shown my work and try to smile/ look somewhat presentable while doing it all. Firstly, I can't believe how white I am, secondly my painting face is funny looking. I never thought my cheeks were that big either. I really hope the 8 am Sunday morning call time has a lot [everything] to do with it. Bridget Badore, the photographer for the shoot, was lovely enough to send Elisa and I some extra behind the scenes photos. Thought I would share them with you. [isn't Maman Cafe beautiful looking] 

Anyway, It's Wednesday which means new horoscopes are up! Read yours now!

// Location: The Style Line

Elisa and I met with the Rachel, founder of The Style Line last Sunday morning for a 8 am shoot. My puffy eyes in the photos also will tell you it was an early Sunday morning. I really don't know why I can't look like a Kardashian in photos. Glowing angel-like skin. Rachel asked us some questions on our friendship, design collaboration, our personal inspiration and turned it into a beautifully written story.

"Perhaps the most special part of our visit with Elisa and Candice rested not only on the fact that we were able to enjoy great food and even greater company, but witnessing how their friendship translated into the cafe’s energy, firsthand."
- Rachel Schwartzmann 

Thank you Rachel for having us! You can read the full story here!

// PHILLY WEEKEND

// 

Hi! Happy Monday. Anyone else feeling extra sleepy today [and I know you were not drinking all weekend for St.Patty's Day. Neither was I]. Dan and I went on a little road trip to Philly to hang out with some of his friends from college. I loved walking through the old and narrow streets. Very European like. Definitely nice to get out of the city for a weekend. This weather is at that ugly in-between stage. Too cold to be spring, not cold enough for the big winter jacket. I'm ready to move right into Spring weather [who isn't]. I need a tan asap and a patio on a beautiful roof top over looking this beautiful city. 

// WEEKEND VIBES

// MONTAUK 

The ladies and I have started to plan our girls weekend getaway back to Montauk. I can't wait for New York summer to get here. By far the most enjoyable time of the year. Jersey weekends, Boat days, New York summer nights, killer roof tops [yes, I just said the word killer], t shirts, shorts, sandals, salt water. I'll stop there. It's still cold outside. 

// ELISA AND I

// The Style Line

I love getting up at 8:30 am on a Sunday. Kidding. I didn't love the wakeup call, I did love the people I was hanging out with though. With my week days full of work at Holland & Sherry, I've been forcing everyone to meet me at ridiculous hours. Preserve.us had us meet at Maman at 6:00 am. Sorry guys. Above is a photo from last Sunday. Elisa and I met with The Style Line to talk about our friendship, our design inspiration etc. This is what our design meetings generally look like... Just not as pretty. We showered for this interview. I'm excited to see the feature come together!

P.s New horoscopes are up. Read yours here  x-C

// BLACK

// Studio work

Custom border design coming along nicely. My client wanted all black and white flowers on a white background. These flowers are going to up the border of her linen drapes! So excited to see it all come together. 

// STUDIO SESSIONS

//

Creative/all-your-new-ideas-suck block. It's the worst. New collection,  Number 11, launching May 5th and all I want to do it crawl up in my bed and never leave. Except for coffee refills of course. Things are starting to piece together, slowly. I know exactly how I want everything to look like, it's the time and patience needed to translate what's going on up in my head onto paper that's the frustrating part. grrrr. Even I'm excited to see how everything is going to turn out at this point! I hope you're enjoying the Monday. Sleepy side I am today. Maybe it was the time difference. Meh, 6 pm and still sunshine - sleepy doesn't sound too bad.
