WINE, DESIGN, AND MORE WINE

Spent my Friday night sipping away on some good ol Italian Wine while painting lovers on a bench full of snowflakes and leaves. Definitely not a bad way to begin my weekend. Last time I did wine and design I didn’t bring  any wine to sip on. Weird, huh? I learned my lesson and grabbed a bottle of red for this rodeo and apparently my friends were thinking the same thing and brought bottles of their own, I guess this explains why I painted snow on a tree full of colored leaves. Wine somehow has that effect on you. You begin to imagine things that would never actually happen, LOL.  I had the best teacher that night and this class was the absolute best. She encouraged creativity and pushed us to step out of our comfort zone, the ideal environment for the dreamer and lighthearted. I highly suggest a trip to a wine and design near you. It’s just a great place to let out some stress, and just relax and get your fingers totally covered in paint while mistakenly sipping your paint water instead of your wine, it happens. If your curious, my friends and I visited the Cary location. Such a great group of people, full of energy and good vibes. What more could I ask for?

Hope you have a great week!

Sincerely,

And because I can’t get enough of this darn scarf by Tight Knit NYC, I took that baby downtown for some good food and random skipping through the street. It’s not everyday this girl gets dressed up and dances the city streets so when I saw the opportunity, I took it and ran, I guess I skipped, LOL. I told you I’d share how to style this scarf for a day out on the town. I also don’t keep secrets either which is why I want to share the brains behind this knitting operation. One of my good friends from college is the secret behind Tight Knit NYC. It’s an honor to be associated with such talent. A big shout out to Ashley Kirkman for this amazing handmade scarf. I had a blast showcasing this cozy piece and look forward to future collaborations. If your in the hunt for something warm, cozy, handmade and just darn cute, visit I suggest you visit Tight Knit NYC. She has something for everyone, hats, chunky scarfs, and even knitwear for the kids. You can check her out on Instagram at @_tightknitnyc. I’ve also taken the liberty of linking my scarf, a similar black dress, and booties for your purchasing pleasure too. Don’t forget, you can still get 25% off your Tight Knit NYC purchase when you use code: COILSCURLSCOZY.
 
Happy Friday!

BESTIE BIRTHDAY BEHAVIOR II

And for the last blog post to this series, I give you weekends spent with good friends doing absolutely nothing and being totally unproductive. Okay, we kind of did something. We ate breakfast, watched a few movies, took a trip to the North side of town and uh, oh yeah, Nat received some fruit, flowers and balloons from a special someone to the hotel room. Demi didn’t do anything. He just napped, watched football, ate all our cake and napped some more. Gotta love him. This was the best way to bring in my besties 30th birthday. 

Now it’s time to gear up for my 5th 25th birthday. What to do, what to do. I’m thinking ice cream and a trip to Indonesia. 😉

Hope you guys have a lovely week. 

Sincerely,
