// LOOSE WAVE RUG

CKD rug has landed from India and it’s even more beautiful than I imagined it would be. This rug was designed for a living room. It’s an alternating handspun and mill spun viscose (also known as Bamboo Silk) design to give the tone on tone some movement.

The outlined floral rug I’ve already showed you. Which is going in the front entry way of the same home :) Can’t wait to get these installed! See all CKD rugs here!

Photos I had laying around from New York. I finally got to see the new Maman Nomad location. Elisa covered their espresso machine in the toile print and put the floral on the walls. Looks great! Also if you’re interested in the gelaskins x ckd phone cases those are available here! x

// CKD UMBRELLAS HIT MONTAUK

// Sel Rrose takes over Montauk

A 2.5 hours and you’re out of the city and in beautiful Montauk. Sel Rrose is opening their second location and it’s going to be beautiful. We took the bespoke Sel Rrose print and turned it into six beautiful patio umbrellas. I can’t wait to see them in action.

The rest of the weekend was spent eating some of Montauk’s best seafood. x C

// NIKE

// Nike Sport Pack x Candice Kaye Design

So last week I did this really cool shoot with Nike. And it’s LIVE. And it’s amazing. Nike approached me with their new sport pack launch. They changed the logo and wanted me to put whatever CKD’s mark was inside of it. Obviously I chose the Rose. It represents the story of me moving to New York City with no art training, teaching myself the trade and doing whatever it took to understand the industry. The rose was my ‘if I can master this, I can master the industry’. I’m still working on mastering the industry part though :) Watch the full video on Nike’s IGTV! Or here on my IG. So cool, thank you Nike Toronto for having me. Here’s a little behind the scenes from our shoot day. Eight hours straight of drawing and hand painting - but would do it all over again.

// LEATHER JACKET WEATHER

// Lately

I’m a dreamer. It’s easy for me to stay in my dream world. Dreaming about the life I wish to have is much easier than getting active about my dreams to make them tangible. There’s a difference between working hard and working proactively. Opportunity is everywhere, however I’ve come to learn that it’s quite passive. It requires work on your end go out there and grab it. A wake up call I was in desperate need of. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes lately. Can’t wait to show you what we have been working on in the next couple months! x

// DISCO LIGHTS AND ARIZONA

// Lately 

I spent my long weekend in Arizona with six other lovely ladies for a Bachelorette. We had the best time. Pool parties, country bars, spa day. Perfect break to return to a full 14 hour shoot day with Nike (which will be live next week). I can't really talk much about it, but I'll tell you the concept is smart. Suite22 mural is up! It's very different than anything I've ever done. I'm happy with the way it turned out. K, back to work. x -C
