// TEA TIME

Whenever I'm back home it's like my level of tiredness hits an all time high. I wake up feeling tired, I constantly feel like a nap is always a good idea, and by 9 pm I'm ready for my tea and my comfy bed. Like right now. Tea and ready for bed. Tomorrow is a full day of meetings in Toronto which I'm super excited about. I haven't been out in Toronto for a while. I'm excited for my morning Tim Hortons coffee, and my morning traffic. I'll be taking these samples with me! [I'll be on snapchat ckayedesign] x -C

// WOKE UP TO A SNOW DAY

//

Yes this photo was taken in New York, and yes I'm in Toronto. But I found it in my "New York '14" folder and thought it was fitting. So there. I woke up to a snowy Canadian morning, which has now turned into ugly rain. Good thing I'm not outside. I'm currently couch bound, computer open, Ri Ri's playing, XL Tim Hortons coffee beside me, and I've got emails to respond to. How's your Wednesday going?

New horoscopes up! x -C

// FEB FULL MOON

// Make a wish

While at FIT I served at a restaurant in the West Village every Monday and Sunday night for extra cash. I miss that place, anyway whenever there was a night when almost every customer was a pain in my ass, I would make a comment like "Is it a full moon or something?". Yesterday's full moon felt a little different. So naturally I had to read up on it. Apparently the February 22nd full moon says to prepare yourself for the unexpected. There is change the is needed to be made, and if the change is not made there will be lots of anxiety. There is a lot of change headed my way I can feel it. I've been bouncing between large decisions that need to be made in order for me to progress to the next step. My only problem is I don't know if I'm making the right decisions! Fairy godmother, please to come out of the sky and help me. It's going to be interesting to see how the next few months unfold. Hold on tight we're in for a little ride. I hate growing up. 

// NEW YORK WEEKEND

// 

My favourite kind of night out in New York involves slipping into something pretty, booking a reservation at a delicious restaurant, and then possibility heading out for a [as in one bc the cocktails will probably cost me $18.00/each] drink afterwards at a chic bar. Every Fashion Week Ashley from London comes to New York and we look forward to what we call "ny hang outs". She's another Canadian who took off to live her dream. Anyways my favourite night in New York was exactly what we had. We ate at Estela and highlyyy recommended. I'm a Old Fashion kinda gal, and they were on point. x-C

Attention to detail.

// SIZE 2 PLEASE

// Jasmine Chong

I actually don't think I'm a size 2. Maybe let's do a size 4 in the pants, and I'll keep the 2 for the jacket, gracias. Last night Andrew and I went to the Jasmine Chong show [photos coming soon] and decided it was a good idea to then drink happy hour margaritas after that has rewarded me with a massive hangover. Haha you should have seen me on my commute this morning. Dragging my feet, sun glasses half down my face. Hungover in New York is the WORST. People are moving so fast around you, you need to hop on buses and catch subways which require flights of stairs to climb. Today the escalator wasn't working. I caught myself giving death stares to the pretty people walking around all not hungover and happy. In better news I'm starting to feel back to normal. It's 11:46. Also I don't know how the selfie below has any relevance to this post. K, bye. 

// WORK IN PROGRESS

// Painting trials 

This is what my sketchbook looks like lately. Small sections of inspiration and ideas that usually end up looking shitty when I get them on paper. But it's my favourite part of the process :) Unlimited refills of coffee, and unlimited ideas with nobody watching. I want this collection to be something different. Can't wait to see where this goes. Anyways, this coffee is starting to get cold. Refill time :) I'll be attending a show this afternoon downtown! Follow along on snap ckayedesign if you wanna join me x -C

New horoscopes up! 

// A MOI

// NYFW

So you know that stomach bug that's going around? The one that makes you throw up all night and then leaves you feeling not so hot? Ya, well the bug found it's way into my body. I'm still feeling like shit, let's hope I can shake this feeling by tomorrow. In the meantime I thought I would edit some photos from Thursday's show A Moi. TRESemme was kind enough to give me backstage access before the show started. Here are some of my favourite pieces from the show. That grey fur collar gives me life. Congratulations to A Moi, the show was beautiful. 

Hope you had a good weekend, I'm going to get curled up in bed and get ready for the Grammys. x -C
