// WEEKEND VIBES

// From the studio

Good morning :) I woke up feeling much more awake than I have in a while. I spent my Friday night in bed and it felt glorious - didn't realized how tired my body was. I woke up to a cozy rainy Saturday morning here in New York. Currently sipping on a coffee, wearing Dan's baggy t-shirt, and about to take my paints out for a Saturday of nothing but summer collection. A day with my head in the clouds without feeling guilty about it is just what the doctor ordered. Happy weekend guys. x -C

// I want the Coveteur to photograph my wedding 

It was a regular Wednesday afternoon. I was taking a mind break, clicked on over to The Coveteur and I came across "Capri" + "Wedding" + a really beautiful photo of people having fun. Naturally I clicked on it, and my mouth dropped. I mean talk about wedding goals. I have no idea who any of these people are, but man, do they know how to put on a party. This wedding looks gorgeous. I love the bridesmaid dresses, the photos, I love the everything. I decided right then, I want The Coveteur to photograph my wedding. I figured if I put it out there into the universe something will happen. Congrats to the beautiful couple! [can you adopt me? Sorry mom]

// FIRST THE SKETCH

// From the studio

I've been working hard on a very exciting custom mural design that will span longer than 7 FT for a beautiful powder room in the East Village. Here's a little sneak peek - the full sketch is almost completed. Imagine willow tree leaves, flowers, and delicate branches. I can't wait to start painting this! I'll be updating you along the way! Happy Wednesday, if you haven't read your horoscope yet, they are up. x -C

// NEW YORK CITY

// BROOKLYN, NY

It's taken a while for me to get comfortable with this city. It's been two years [almost] and just now am I starting to feel like I can call this crazy place home. I was standing on a rooftop in Brooklyn when I took this photo and was filled more with hope with what New York can bring me rather than with pure intinimdation. I mean, it's just little CK up against all of those buildings, but I've somehow made it this far, and for once those buildings no longer feel so big. x -C

// SUNDAY MORNINGS WITH PAINT

// Candice Kaye Design watercolor workshop + Maman breakfast

Another lovely Sunday morning with new faces, lovely people and another full house! Sunday's class was inspired by the new summer collection that's in the works and should be launching in the next month or so - Tropical [insert palm tree emoji here]. We designed coffee cup sleeves, so everyone could walk home with their own Maman cup, with the option of cards to design. Such a perfect morning. It was so cool meeting everyone, thank you for coming, and I hope you learned something new! For our next class, follow Maman @_MamanNyc_ or me, @_CandiceKaye_ 

Woot, happy Monday ya'll. x -C

// SUMMER LOVIN'

// News from the studio

Good morning, and happy Friday :) I love the feeling of short weeks. Friday comes so soon which means my lazy Saturday morning is fast approaching. Tomorrow will be filled with sketching up a custom powder room mural, but this can all be done in Dan's ball shorts, oversized T shirt and refills of coffee. Attached is a little sneak peek into the new summer collection's inspiration which will be launching in about two months. Think old polaroids, beach mornings, summer nights, no makeup, and blonder hair - my New York summers. Happy weekend guys! x -C

// ROLLS ON ROLLS

// Collection N Eleven 

Hi Hi, happy Thursday. I've been sending off samples of Collection N Eleven to a few magazines lately for their upcoming fall shoots! Very excited that publications are into the collection. My newest project takes place in the East Village. A newly renovated powder room. The idea is a non repeatable mural that will run about 7FT long. Sort of like the Rendezvous Mural design, except a lot more detail. I've been working hard on getting the sketches perfect. I'll give you a sneak peak once I start painting. Can't wait for my Saturdays to be filled with nothing but design again. I feel like it's been non-stop travel for me, which are making my days longer, which can explain why I'm feeling under the weather. Feels like a case of the strep throat. I swear I got strep once a couple years ago, and it keeps on coming back. Anyway! If you haven't seen the collection yet, click here. If you're interested in getting some wallpaper up, email me at any time, kayecandice@gmail.com x -C
