// CINDERELLA

// 

One of Dan's old housemates sent me the best present the other day - a downloadable file of the new Cinderella. If "Wonder" [the new ckd Fall collection] didn't give it away, I'm a fairytale snob. Magic and a fairy dust make me a very happy person, which is why I still enjoy Disney movies. At 27. Anyway, the new Cinderella was everything I hoped for and more. The costumes, the set design, the beautiful carriage were all done perfectly. So much inspiration running through my head. It would be a dream to do all the textile design for the next Disney movie. One thing at a time, so in the meantime, I can't wait to show you whats in store for Fall. Shouldn't be too much longer now before it launches. Maybe one day when I have my very own CKD headquarters my office entrance will be this carriage. Too much? Happy Friday ya'll. x -C

Hi! Happy Wednesday. Anyone else feeling extra sleepy the morning? Two more days until sleep-in-Saturday and hopefully some sunshine. I can't believe it's already the middle of August. Summer slow down please. Anyways - last night Dan and I had Kitchen Surf come into the kitchen and cook us a beautiful meal while we were watching the Mets game and sipping on Vino.

// HIDDEN WATERFALL

// [SIPS ON HER COFFEE]

Monday morning. Who even invented it. Almost seven.. or is it eight? months into this full-time job thing, and I mean I get it - Friday's are my most happy days [I do a "TGIF" instragram post every Friday morning at like 7 am] and I secretly hope for a rainy Sunday so couch bound doesn't make me feel lazy. It's not easy to sit still in this city. Anyways, here's a glimpse into my weekend. I was down at Coney Island for some music. Sunday morning was spent at a hidden waterfall in the middle of New York City. I swear with all the greenery and the sound of water, the air almost smelled clean and fresh. Almost. Anyway, it's a new week. Time to get back at it! x -C

// WONDER

// From the studio

Yes, there will be butterflies. Wonder the ckd Fall '15 Collection N Twelve will be launching very very soon. Here's a little sneak from the studio floor. No, I'm not designing clothes but I get a lot of my inspiration from the placement and pattern of fashion. Which are two things I will be bushing boundaries with. Can't wait to show you. In the meantime it's still summer which means Floyd still deserves much love. Click here to view the newest prints! x -C

// PEPPERMINT TEA

// Pearson Airport

I made it! Hello New York City. While enjoying my 7 hour delay Sunday at the airport, I decided to read up on teas. The not-hungover-Candice would have ordered herself something delicious to make make up for the time, but the word alcohol made me nauseous. I read that when you're feeling down, peppermint tea is sort of like a life booster. Makes your body feel a little happier. So I ordered myself a large. Just some Monday morning info. x -C
