// THEY DON'T LOVE U LIKE I LOVE YOU

// Studio vibes

Hold up, they don't love you like I love you. I'm singing to my coffee. I'm not over exaggerating when I say I don't talk much before my morning coffee. I need a good two-three sips before I put the headphones on loud and open my computer. Album of choice lately is Lemonade which forces me to sing out-loud accompanied with dance moves. And it's Beyonce, so dance moves are always full-out. Anyway - there are couple things I haven't told you. The last two months have forced me to make some major decisions that have ultimately turned my world upside down. I'm not going to get into detail, but it's definitely been a change. I'm leaning right into this change which is often accompanied with fear. I'm still standing, it requires a third cup of coffee, but I'm still standing. May is going to be a good month guys, I felt different when I woke up this morning. Anyone else? It's time to fight forward. x -C

// OUT THERE

//

When things get weird - weird as in my brain needs to work out a couple things in order for it to sleep at night, I come here. It's my thinking place. This or music so loud in my ears that it drains out my thoughts and fills them with visions of me as Rihanna. I would be a really good Rihanna. I got lost on the hamster wheel (new york) for the last few years that I forgot out this place and what fresh air smelled like. Anyway - it's Wednesday which means her horoscopes are up. x -C

// THE SETTING

// thesettingnyc.com

For those that know me know shopping for groceries is probably one of my least favourite activities. I would prefer to cook with all of the ingredients already magically in front of me. The act of cooking - I don't mind. I can make a really good salmon, stir fry, and moroccan chicken. Anything beyond that, well you can make it yourself. Kidding kidding. Anyway I sat down with The Setting to talk about how I entertain. Preferably with Amanda's products. Amanda is the master mind behind the setting, and besides the fact that she is drop dead gorgeous she makes everything by hand... Read the full interview here! Thanks for having me The Setting!

There's a lot of change going on in Candice Kaye Design land. You can expect a new website coming soon, new product, a new collection, and a whole new company that's in the works. It's go-time and I'm going to need a lot of coffee. In the meantime, there are new horoscopes up! Click Click. x-C

// HIGH RISE

// Levis 

I've been living out of suitcases for the last little while #longstory - in the mist of all of this suitcase living I've given away bags of clothes. I pretty much hate all of my clothes and am in need a wardrobe makeover. First purchase were these Levis. Classic color, classic high rise that go with everything. No this isn't a sponsored post - wouldn't mind if it was. Alright, that's all. Happy Monday x -C

// NEW YORK LIGHT

// Upper West Side

Oh hey and hello Friday. Don't let this photo fool you - I threw this hat on my head because there was no room in my bags, I'm sweating - like a lot from carrying luggage, and all of the makeup has melted off my face. So naturally I took a photo, the 7 pm light was too good. I'm currently sitting cross legged surrounded by 1 million pillows in a beautiful home in TriBeca. I don't plan on moving either. Except maybe to refill my coffee. Loads of work to get done, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Perfect way to lean into the weekend. Have a drink for me x-C

// B'S DINNER PARTY

// Location: Upper West Side

Ever had watermelon with feta cheese? Well ya should. It's delicious. Last night B made dinner, I helped decorate, and we sat outside for the grand opening of her patio. Her apartment on the Upper East Side is adorable. It got me really excited for the weather to get warmer. Life is just happier when you're able to step outside without feeling like you wish you never got out of bed. Right?

// Collection N Fifteen

Feeling a little hazy on this Fine Thursday afternoon. Here's a little something something that i've been working on for Collection N Fifteen. I've also found a new song to listen to on repeat. OK that's all. 

// DELAYED

// Location: Pearson Airport 

I know better than to book with American Airlines. It's a guarantee delay. Today is racking up to about two hours. Two hours. At the moment I'm sitting at gate A7 at Pearson Airport, I have a reservation on two flights - the goal is to get on the earlier one. However I had to check luggage [brought home winter clothes] and my two flights fly into two different airports. So I need to make sure I get on the flight that matches my luggage. I'm slightly hungover from last night so a drink at the bar doesn't sound as lovely as it usually would. SO I'm sitting at the gate with my new friends. New friends because we have nothing better to do than talk about how annoying American Airlines is. 

A dad and his son have been here since 6:30 am, and the poor guys look like it. Another guy is definitely drunk. His button up shirt is falling over his left shoulder and is yelling with a slur. I'm also definitely sitting beside a group a dancers. I can spot a dancer from a mile away. There's another dude who walks around with a top hat and belongs in a cartoon. It seems like life is what happens when your American Airlines flight is delayed I guess right? There's always a silver lining. Alright I'm being anti-social behind my computer, my new friends are waiting. See you soon New York. x -C
