The Madewell event this past weekend went really well! - I loved meeting new people & seeing lots of you who I know just from my Instagram! My artwork was a hit & one of the favorite were the colorful pineapples! It was such a fantastic experience doing this pop-up shop & was definitely cool walking in & seeing my art displayed in their store!

The collection on display included art from my Made By Girl shop & original paintings from my online gallery, Cocoa & Hearts.

If you have a store & are interested in having me do a similar pop-up shop there, feel free to email me with info!

A Cocoa & Hearts SALE is around the corner - stay tuned!! If you want to be notified, please sign up to the newsletter here. They tend to sell fast.

My mom was the first one there... she stayed until I was done. Love sharing these moments with her.

Loved my geometric necklace by Kate Scheid from Scheid Industrial & my Leather Pocket T-shirt dress, by Madewell.

My husband below (to the right) busy putting in orders & making sure things are run smoothly. His tee shirt even said 'hubby' - such a cutie.

Jamie from Furbish Studio came by - isn't her hair cool?!

Hey ladies! If you all recall, last year I spoke at the Love Your Life event, which you can see the post + video here. What a pleasure it was to tell my story & be able to inspire other women. These events happen here in NYC every so often & I'd like to invite you to the next one. I won't be the guest speaker this time, but I will be attending.

Join Lynette Lewis + special guest world-renowned, certified Zumba instructor Loretta Bates here in New York City on Tues. July 15th for the first salon event that will bring several women together in a cozy loft space in midtown. This will be an evening of light refreshments + hors d'oeuvres, relationship-building & practical application toward advancing our dreams. Lynette will have an up-close-and-personal interview during this special salon event will provide insights and practical solutions to ignite motivation and help launch YOU to your next level, no matter your field or where you are on the path to pursuing your dream.

During this salon event you will:

Listen to relatable stories and lessons that affirm your own journey and inspire you to break through barriers
Meet other like-minded women who can offer connections, ideas, and accountability for actually doing your biggest dreams
Become even more motivated and inspired that you CAN live your dreams and live them NOW
Make new friends and find a sense of belonging and comaraderie giving life in the big city new meaning and fulfillment

The stories of how past events have helped launch many women into their dreams are truly amazing. From one woman winning a national election to others making connections for jobs, support, and deeper fulfillment, the Love Your Life vision is alive & well and is ready for YOU!

Loretta and Lynette are looking forward to seeing you & getting this opportunity to connect and collaborate. Refreshments & hors d'oeuvres are served at 6:00pm, the interview starts promptly at 6:30pm and space is very limited so reserve your spot by registering here today.

You can also check out Lynette's personal invite here on you tube.

West Elm DIY Event

Last week was the West Elm event I hosted & so many wonderful ladies showed up! It was such a blast to show the girls "how-to-create" the DIY painted mugs! It's simple, yet fun.

Firs,t we kicked off the event with some delicious mini-cakes by Sherry's Shortcakes - these are delicious Vegan mini-bites made up of organic ingredients. Then we served up some hot Chocolate - which was perfect for the chilly weather that evening! I then explained to the girls how to create their own painted mug & everyone loved it! So much talent - & perhaps even future artists?? I MINGLED with the girls & then we gave away 2 (framed) Cocoa & Hearts paintings, 20% off MADE BY GIRL + this gorgeous agate jewelry box! I'm so grateful to have been able to collaborate with Wes Elm here in New York City - & super grateful to all the girls who came out to be part of this workshop!

The images were shot by photographer, Christine Han - all the way from Brooklyn. This girl was everywhere & shot all these amazing moments for us! She also has a cool food blog called 'Pantry Confidential' - which I think you food lovers will enjoy!

All in all, it was a packed house - (good news!) so hopefully I'll get to host something there again soon! If you see a pic you want to instagram - feel free to TAG it: #madebygirl & #westelm.

Where's Waldo?

Champagne time - thanks to my friends!

This last image is a quick shot my husband took of me & my friends who came out to share this moment with me! Love you all!

Don't forget to keep an eye out for NEW paintings being added to the Cocoa & Hearts gallery this month!!!

Did you attend the event? How did you like it?

Speaking at Love Your Life Event

November 7, 2013 24 Comments

This past Monday I had the opportunity to speak in front of several women here in NYC at the Love Your Life event. My beautiful friend Lynette Lewis shared the stage with me as I spoke about how I started MADE BY GIRL, the many failed business attempts, including a CHOCOLATE truffle business. We also discussed the story behind why I started painting & how I launched Cocoa & Hearts, the desire to have children, the times I felt hopeless in my life, my faith & encouraging others to follow their dreams. This is one of the few times I've opened up about PERSONAL things in my life in front of an audience - it was a beautiful experience that I will never forget.

Lots of WOMEN came by to ask me questions after the event & one woman even prayed for me, which was really beautiful. I thank all my friends & family who came out to see me on Monday & for all the women who read my blog & showed up, thank you for your support! I continue to pray that God will open up more doors for me where I will be an inspiration to other women whether its through my business or through my Faith.

The top I was sporting is from MANGO & a blazer from Zara.

I also advised women on (5) simple tips to starting their own business. In this video below, you'll hear me talk about one of my first businesses where I made chocolate truffles & how that DID NOT WORK for me! Although I LOVE chocolate. Ha!

You can watch the video & hear me discuss that part - it's about 3 min long- enjoy!

This is the first video I've posted of me on my blog (I think!) -it's very odd...but, here you go!

Kelly Wearstler Rhapsody Book Event NYC

February 7, 2013 16 Comments

Edit

We attended the Kelly Wearstler 'Rhapsody' book party hosted by The Rug Company. Even though I didn't get to participate in Fashion Week, (due to other things I'm working on) this was a great way to kick off the festivities going on throughout the city!

Rhapsody is Kelly's fourth book which offers a look into her glamorous life and work. She's by far the BEST designer, truly innovative in every way. Her background is interesting if you ever read about her - but that didn't stop her, she's a RockStar. Truly inspirational.
