I've ditched my iPhone 5, the camera wasn't cutting it. The Six however is working wonders. I'm working on a fun decor project for the home [follow my snap ckayedesign for updates], and I could't help but snap a pick of this wallpaper sample rolled out. I'm obsessed with the color, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I picked it. Technically a landscape photo of Paris picked it [a photo found on Pinterest]. Yup, I picked all Collection N Eleven's colors from landscapes of Paris. #DesignerTip.
Collection N Eleven is available made-to-oder. Email me at kayecandice@gmail.com if you're interested. x -C
So Floyd is my favourite part of the ckd summer collection, and I must say he is getting some love. I mean of course, what a stud. In case you missed yesterday's news - the ckd summer collection has officially launched.
Anyone else feel like it's Friday? I had a one too many dirty martini's at the smith [snapchat ckayedesign to see how it all went down] last night and well I'm not feeling the best. Slight hangovers on a Friday are perfectly acceptable in my book - Friday's are normally slow, the weekend is coming which means one happy hour beer can kill this hangover like that [snaps her fingers]. Thursday not the best. Alright, that's all! x - c & Floyd
It's here! Summer time and it's summer collection. I had loads of fun designing this collection. The colours have been carefully selected to work beautifully when paired with my spring Collection N Eleven. If you missed the full story behind the ckd summer collection, you can click here and have a quick read. It's really just all about slowing down and remembering to have fun. So GO have a look, I would love to hear what you think about it. Don't forget to say whatsup to Floyd. He's my favourite part of this entire collection. Dan and I actually have a funny story about Floyd's painting trials - I couldn't get his feet right for the life of me. After trial five, they finally looked normal... I guess you had to be there, and I'm not showing you the trials, I couldn't embarrass Floyd like that. Umm what else, if you're interested in ordering a print for yourself email me at any time, kayecandice@gmail.com. And don't forget I offer completely custom services, so colour and scale changes are all possible.
Happy Wednesday. Oh, there is one more thing, new horoscopes are up! x -C
// a note from the designer
We all work hard. Some days so hard the word 'nap' sounds like a vacation to a tropical island. ckd summer collection was created not for the hard days, but for the days that aren't so hard. The days that Pinterest likes to call "learn to love the process". The collection was created for those Friday's at 5:30pm when I meet Dan at the train station to catch the 6:15 train to the Jersey Shore, where we sip on our extra large Bud Lights and double check the weather for sunshine. And for those mornings at home when I allow myself to sleep-in until 10 am and do nothing for the next three hours other than sit in my aunts backyard and refill my coffee. Or for those moments when I'm running from work to a meeting on the opposite side of town seriously sweating and laughing at myself at the thought of my crazy life. Life really isn't that serious. So I purposely took the time to stop and enjoy what I love to do and created a collection with bright colors, and Flamingos. Yup. Flamingos. His name is Floyd the Flamingo, and I can't wait for you to meet him tomorrow.
I've learned to "love the process" a little more while designing this collection. I hope you enjoy it as much I did creating it [launch date tomorrow!]. x -C
// Congratulations to Melissa and Andrew!
And that's exactly how I imagine Andrew asking Melissa to marry him, full suit, shinny shoes, and that game face. What a lovely weekend. Congrats to the beautiful couple.

// Coolest show I've seen in New York yet.
As a birthday gift Dan surprised me with two tickets to Fuerza Bruta. An off broadway show he saw an ad for in a taxi a while back. He knows me well because I loved it, how could you not. One of the coolest shows I've seen in New York yet. For Valentines Day he took me to Sleep No More [seeing a trend here?] a very cool concept, but nothing as creative as this. From a man running on a treadmill with doors thrown at him, to ladies playing in a huge water tub on top of you, to the dancers swinging and yelling from the ceiling, it gives you a 360 degrees experience. If you're in New York for the weekend and are looking for a cool night out, I highly recommend getting yourself a ticket. On another note, this show smartened me right up. I'm in New York to create cool shit, thanks for the reminder Fuerza Bruta. Happy TGIF x -C
