// From the studio
I did a test print on gift wrapping paper and the quality came out beautifully. So I put them all into production. All Collection N Twelve will be available. Can you imagine each print stacked on top of each other and tied with a bow? How delicious. Most stylish gift wrap I've ever seen. Very excited to get this into your hands. Available soon! x -C
// #GIRLBOSS
A multi-million dollar company that started from eBay and a personality that makes me what to find her in LA and suggest we become friends. It has taken me a while to find a new book. I'm usually in the mood for a love story that leaves me crying by the end of it. A lot of change has been going on in my life lately, so I was looking for something that will keep me in the right mindset. It's hard to constantly motivate yourself, especially when you're the only one who can see your goals. That's when I stumbled upon Sophia Amoruso's instagram. The founder of Nasty Gal, and a feed that made me say "cool" out loud. A couple scrolls down I found out of her book, read a couple pages on Amazon saw the word "bullshit" and hit "order". This isn't a book about how to start your own business, or how to dress, thank god, it's about a woman who got a job as a security guard checking ID's at a school because she found a hernia and needed health insurance to get it cured. She's street smarted her way through eBay selling vintage clothing and was making more in a week than I do in a month, and then turned her eBay business into a international success all before 30. What interests me about this story is that it's possible and not crazy and there is proof. Finding Sophia was the perfect case of Serendipity. If you're in the looks for something similar to this I highly recommend getting it. #GirlBoss Happy Monday! x -C

Took out the butterflies in this one and made it completely custom for a lovely customer in Australia. So incredible how social media has the power to connect countries. For inquires email me at any time CandiceKaye@candicekayedesign.com x -C
// Studio time
I can't believe it's been just over a year since Candice Kaye Design launched. Actually I can, so much has happened since - and I'm feeling like it's time for another change. It's time to revamp, clean up, and take huge risks into the unknown. Candice Kaye Design has a new set of goals that are yet to be met. Very excited to share this new transformation with you. In the next three months you can expect some changes ;) These photos are a collection taken from the "Meet Candice" section of this website. I'm in the process of making a new "About" section and it's looking and sounding really different. It light of all this change and transformation - new horoscopes are up. Happy Wednesday guys x -C

Pickle day! How picture perfect does New York look. Each station was filled with all different kinds of pickles. Like bbq and sweet and sour pickles mm mm delicious. This weekend felt like a true New York weekend. We slept in, we did a little work, we went out, had late night chinese food, and we watched football on Sunday at a bar while popping in and out to fill our bellies with pickle snacks. Love you New York. x -C
// Powder Room Mural
I started my morning off in the beautiful home of Hannah and Brendan. They've asked me to design a custom mural for their downstairs powder room in their newly renovated home in the East Village. We got our strike offs in today, and they look INSANE. Rob and Kyra from Twenty2 wallpaper were [as always] spot on with the color and quality. Hannah and I literally said "wow" for about five minutes, then we tapped the murals to the wall, and continued to say wow a little longer. Very excited to be apart of their new beginning in this home. Can't wait to show you final photos once everything is done! x -C
