Cocoa & Hearts News

Hey everyone! Hope this Monday is going good for you! -  I thought I'd pop in & update you on this NEW Kids t-shirt line we are putting together!!  We are actually re-doing our entire Cocoa & Hearts website + re-branding it.  The Cocoa & Hearts site will no longer be paintings, but you can go to Made By Girl if you're looking to have me paint an original painting for you. Sound good?

The new Cocoa & Hearts logo will look like this (below) & we will be seeking out a few K-I-D-S brand ambassadors. That means.... we will send them a few t-shirts in exchange for some cool pics on social media, tagging us & letting others know where to find the line!  The kids will be carefully selected based on your social media account, follower count etc.  Excited to introduce this to all of you! I know this is a different route and I may have many people un-follow me or stop reading the blog all together...because you you preferred to see home decor....& that's ok. When I first started Made By Girl, I had only 7 followers, so I understand what it's like to be at ZERO pretty much (if I have to be).  BUT, I really hope to have your support through this in any way, especially all YOU moms!

As I mentioned before - we'll be launching about 8-10 t-shirt designs to start with. Can't wait to see which is your favorite.  Sizes will range from 18 Months old - 4 years of age. Please don't forget, if you'd like be notified of the launch date - SIGN UP to our mailer at Cocoa & Hearts.  XO

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?

Life & Style Event at Henri Bendel

Last week I attended the Life & Style magazine panel event & let me just say, it was the first time I had been inside Henri Bendel. I know, I know....I hadn't lived in NYC for the last few years & now I can tell you I'll certainly be back. If you haven't been, you have to go!

So, the event went nicely, met a few people, mingled and got to see some cool flats from a company called Yosi Samra, the flats fold in half & are super chic! I should be getting a pair soon & will let you know how I like them. Enjoy!




Love this cute lips scarf - so beautiful in person too! We included it in the Love Letters digital mag issue as a matter of fact!




Is that LouAnn the countess? Yup.


With the gals from Life & Style.






The most amazing dark chocolate at Henri Bendel.  Dark chocolate & 24K gold. YES, it's edible.
Oh & it cost me a cool $10.




BAM!! Quick self-shot & cut off half my head by accident.....


Update:

They sent me some flats a couple days ago & they're  sooo cute! Super versatile, comfortable & they fold in half to fit right into my purse! These are the Crocodile Samara in black in case you're wondering.
