Natty Halloween

For Halloween, my friend and I incorporated Natty Paint into our costumes.  She was a bird and I was Katy Perry.  We made these wings for her bird costume with old sheets, feathers from boas, and fabric tape.  Check it out!

Tada! Minus the beak! You can get the NP Dot Top with the triangle lace back HERE and the Glitter Broncosi leggings HERE.  Both are part of out fall/winter 2010 line.

Feather aftermath!!

My costume was less involved.  I just got some flashy plastic jewelry at the dollar store and a wig.

I wore the acid bubble spandex dress from NP’s summer 2010 line.

Then we went to a 3rd Ward party in Bushwick, check out a recap of the event HERE.

One of my friends was the flight attendant from Chungking Express, and another was the death of written media.

Hello Bikram Yoga and Goodbye Veganism

Since moving to Brooklyn, it’s been difficult to find a routine with a very busy and chaotic schedule-balancing Natty Paint and a part-time MBA all while in a new city with so many exciting things going on. Two things that were constants in my life in Baltimore while Natty Paint was starting up were my diet and exercise:being vegan and Bikram Yoga.
I’ve decided after much deliberation, I don’t want to be vegan anymore. I like having many more food options available and miss things like eggs and greek yogurt. And now I can eat other things! Like goat cheese! The list keeps going… But milk will not happen, EVER. I hate milk.

I have also decided it’s time to pick up Bikram again, as it is the ultimate way  to destress, relax, and clear my head.  Today was my first day returning to practice Bikram Yoga. Luckily, there’s a studio super close by in Williamsburg! YES!

After getting back from class, I see I’m tagged in new pic on Facebook of a Bikram yoga instructor wearing a Natty Paint custom Bikram Yoga Hampden shirt, standing next to Bikram Choudhury himself!  EPIC!

We’re going to work on getting Bikram his very own shirt to wear at teacher training. Bengal tiger strength, bulldog determination!

Natty Paint’s first Fashion’s Night Out in NYC

Sorry to have disappeared under the radar for a bit, but we were occupied with packing, moving, unpacking, arranging, and rearranging! We are happy to report we are now based out of Brooklyn, NY!  And what great timing to move to NY, in the middle of Fashion Week. We took to the street last Friday for Fashion’s Night Out, and as if the stars were aligned, we ran into Tim Gunn of Project Runway exiting Kate Spade. Check out the pic!

We were hoping to reach him in time to gift him a Natty Paint neck tie, but alas, he turned the corner too quickly. Next time! Tim, if you’re reading this Natty Paint has a tie just for you!

Our next adventure involved stopping into ILORI on Spring St to check out the silkscreening demo they had in the window. Turns out the team were fellow Brooklyners!  Kayrock, of Kayrock Screenprinting, was silkscreening totes in the store window to give away with a sunglasses purchase. What a great idea to bring in people.

And then we headed back to Brooklyn for the tail end of a party hosted by Alter, a clothing boutique located in Greenpoint. They have a great logo, check it out:

Things are looking promising for NP in NYC!
