// DIY MOTHERS DAY WATERCOLOR CLASS @ MAMAN

// Maman Cafe, Soho New York

Guys, yesterday morning was amazing. Full house, coffee, breakfast, painting, and tasty delights. I couldn't believe how many people showed up! My favorite part of the class - getting to know everyone's story. Some were lawyers and business savvy people who wanted to do something creative, others were illustrators, fashion designers, wedding planners, and book illustrators. There was one handsome fella who was dragged to the class by a friend. Brave soul surrounding himself with 24 ladies. The class went so well, we have decided to do another one. May 31st! Elisa said spots are already filling up, email her at info@mamannyc.com to join us for our next one!

// 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 : )

// 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.
