// COCKROACH

// Location: Wythe Hotel, Brookyln 

Doesn't that city look beautiful? Filled with dreams, hope, and wonderful parties. Now, let's look closer. Like real close. Doesn't look so magical does it? Well, let me tell you a fun little story about this morning. I woke up around 6 am to get some work done before heading to work. I was putting on some coffee, and then headed to the bathroom to brush my teeths and wash my face. I opened the bathroom door, and found a cockroach chillin' on my rug. So naturally I screamed and shut the door. It took me 30 minutes and a phone call to my boyfriend for some moral support/a secret cry for help to come to my rescue [he didn't], to open the door again. I threw a towel over Mr. Cockroach and stomped as hard as I could. It definitely woke me up. Ladies and gentlemen - the glamorous life of living in New York City. Good morning : )

// WORKSHOP @ MAMAN!

// Location: Maman Cafe, 239 Centre Street

Soooo, whatcha doin' this Sunday at 10:30 am? Wanna come practice painting with me? Let me explain better - I'm teaming up with Maman and will be doing a watercolor painting class for Mothers Day. Yup! When you leave, you'll have three cards for mothers day all painted by you! I'll be giving you very good instruction on how to watercolor, with already drawn flowers. Think of it as watercolour by number. Click here to sign up! x -C

// I HOPE YOU TRAVEL

// Location: Yacht Week, Greece

Good morning. It's 6:39 am at the moment. I just filled my coffee and curled back into bed. Another rainy day in New York and it's making me want to stay here all day. Since life has been nothing but work lately I started to look through old Facebook photos last night of when life was all about travel, clothes, and travel. So much more enjoyable. I tell myself that I'm working this hard now so I can return to a life of travel, clothes, and travel. [takes a sip of her coffee] You know that quote that pops up everywhere on social media, "in your twenties... make sure you travel, explore..." or something like that, well I really hope you do. I can remember the first time I landed in Europe. I was in London. You realize just how big the world is, and just how much you haven't seen. You don't need to be "in your twenties". Just get out there. 

// WEEKENED VIBES

// Porter Airlines

I've ventured out of the city the past two weekends. Just got back from a weekend in Syracuse to visit my cousin Lenna and the newest addition to their family, baby Alex. It was so nice to be with the family again this weekend. The six hour train ride there and back gave me some good quality time with my computer, Collection N Eleven, and Sex and The City. Anyways, playing Sunday night catch up with the Kardashians. Bed time soon. Hope you enjoyed the weekend. x -C

// BACKDROP

// Location: Holyrad Studio

Ahh! Just got the final photos! Aside from the fact that I look super white I love the back drop against the brick wall. Can you imagine this wallpaper decorating a pretty loft - 10FT ceilings - brick walls - tufted distressed leather couches... Ok stopping. Can't wait to see the full feature on WTF Magazine! AND can't wait to show you Collection N Eleven. Almost everything has been sent in for production! May 5th people, it's going down.

// Studio work

Hello, good morning Tuesday [takes a sip of her coffee]. It feels good to be back in the city working away. I have loads to get done before the launch of the new collection May 5th. I'm starting to get scared, so scared that I decided to do everything I shouldn't be doing and play around with backgrounds on a print I won't be using for the new collection. I do like this color though... maybe I'll print this one out on fabric and see what happens. Hope you're enjoying the morning. x -C
