Weekend Photos: New York City

September 21, 2011 by Ciera Holzenthal

I took a long weekend trip to visit my best friend who lives in New York. Our other bestie also came up from Louisiana so it was quite the reunion! Here are some Instagrams from around the city.

I had so much fun looking at all of the ribbon winning items at the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair. Ribbons were awarded for everything from photography and lace to veggies and flowers. The huge cabbages were my favorite, I don’t even think I could have picked the thing up!

Brand Spotlight: Kate Spade

September 12, 2011 by Ciera Holzenthal

Kate Spade is known all over the world for their bold and stylish designer clothing, shoes and accessories. I recently became fascinated with the Kate Spade brand when I started receiving their email newsletters. They are beautifully designed and I’m always excited when one is delivered to my inbox.

The recent redesign of the online presence was completed by CreateThe Group in conjunction with Kate Spade’s internal creative team. The brand stands out from the crowd with simple shapes, graphic prints and a playful sophistication of vibrant colors and typography that parallel the product perfectly.

That combination of luxury, vibrance, classic elements and a continuing passion and determination to LIVE COLORFULLY is what creates this memorable brand.

Narrow and angled staircases created an issue with moving furniture into our new apartment. As you can see here, large items had to be hoisted over the balcony railing. Here are some of my favorites images from Flickr of awesome staircases. Enjoy and Happy Friday!

August Break – It’s moving time!

Wherever We Are Together by VOL25

Did I forget to mention that tomorrow is official moving day for me?! My August Break has come to an end, but between wrapping up a bunch of projects and preparing for the move (into a much needed larger apartment!), I may need to extend the break a few days. My apologies in advance if I am little M.I.A the next few days… I’ll keep you updated about our move and plan on posting photos of our new place as we slowly furnish and decorate it!
