I'm Dreaming of Ice Cream and Kissing in the Rain

Happy Friday. Think of the things that make you happy, and then do them.

...and then my heart went BOOM BOOM BOOM.

At first glance this photo made me blush. In about 5 seconds my heart started beating a little faster... maybe because it also reminds me of these CL for Rodarte spike stilettos. One part Punk + One part Couture = Pure Sex.





One thing is that I don't do the Loubie. Nope, they don't fit me. Thank God? Maybe.....but give me a leather punch, a handful of screw-back spikes and about 20 mins and I have my greedy little paws on my own version. A quick fix.... faster than you can say pussycat. Does that mean I'm a good girl gone bad?



You'll only know if you're lucky.
Love. C.

Balmain + Givenchy = ♥

Dear God. Please send me this outfit for my birthday. I know its 6 months away. I just thought you might like a heads up. Thanks, I'll try to be good until then.

Next Sunday I am going to confession to ask forgiveness for my unhealthy obsession with thigh high boots. (did you hear that God?)

Terry Richardson for French Vogue

Normally I am not a huge Terry Richardson fan - those endless shots of sweaty, bored hipsters always come to mind. But this shoot he did for the June/July 2009 issue of French Vogue definitely caught my eye. Richardson captures moments, and instead of hipsters, he crystallized the feelings of joy and love in the City of Lights, styled by the one and only Emanuelle Alt. (click photos to enlarge)







I love the legs and stockings and how sexy and happy this shoot is. I'd give my first born for legs like those! Plus, I'm really into all the lace and men's shirts. Who wouldn't be happy kissing in Paris right now?
I'm happy kissing anywhere......:)

While planning our shoot for next week I really want to convey to the photographer that I want it to be intimate but also JOYFUL. I think there has been a lack of joy on fashion for the past few years. I have always loved gothy, moody editorials (Paolo Roversi is ♥) but somehow I am craving something fresh... Let's see what we can come up with!

Have a beautiful Sunday

Saturday Nights Alright

Los Angeles, Saturday 12:48 am. About six hours ago I started making this dress right after polishing of an incredibly tasty chicken burger. Ha. I have to go to a black tie wedding reception a couple of weekends from now and I dunno what happened - I just decided to make a dress. Between chatting on the phone and putting around the house (baking cookies no less!) I finished this silk crepe gown, hem and all!


Couture Candace Ang Silk Crepe Gown, Wing Necklace from Resort 2009, and YSL patent heels

Of course I'm so tired that this is a really blurry pic but I didn't want to show EVERYTHING until the event. The cool thing about this dress is that its convertible, it can be worn draped as shown (very Grecian, Vivienne Westwood) or it can be worn loose like a Lanvin number. I was so frustrated shopping for gowns because everything out there is SO ugly! Especially if you don't want to pay over $1000 for a dress that you are really only going to wear once! I tried it on with my new YSL tributes in black patent leather which you probably can't see in my blurry pic and a new necklace from my Resort Collection - it looks like my hair but that black is actually feathers....

Ok I had better sleep! I think I am the only one in the city not out tonight but I kinda like it. Hope that you had a great start to your weekend!

Never Bored. Never Being Boring.

Would you wear these out to dinner?



I would.

Happy Friday, there's a bear in your toast.

I love Fridays! Today started with ALOT of coffee and I made my favorite french toast with baby Brioche bread and raspberries! It seems like we ran out of maple syrup but a dollop of raspberry jam did the trick! Problem is, when you get the jam out the bears come out too. Oh well, he wasn't too much of a bother....I always make too much food anyways!




Candy's Brioche French Toast

1 small brioche (or your favorite bread)
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 pat of butter
1/2 cup raspberries (sub bananas, or any other fruit)
icing sugar, cinnamon (if desired)
3 table spoons raspberry jam or maple syrup

Slice brioche into 3/4" slices and set aside. In a small bowl beat eggs and gradually add milk until mixed together. Dip slices of brioche in egg mixture until well coated. Heat frying pan on medium and add butter. Before butter gets too brown add slices of brioche and cook until browned on both sides. Arrange on plate and add fruit and jam! Sprinkle with icing sugar to taste or cinnamon. Beware of wandering bears as they will like to join in your feast....

After breakfast it was off to location scouting with JVDF for the upcoming AW2009 photoshoot! We found the most amazing loft to shoot in! Its in downtown LA in an area I didn't even know existed. The loft is huge and is owned by a fantastic new painter whose beautiful work is everywhere throughout. My good friend Lisa Aharon is flying in to do the makeup and just hang in LA for the weekend. The most fun is when you are working with fellow artists and friends and together you can make something AMAZING! Off to another meeting....hope that you all have a great weekend!

XOXO

Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face.

These are my favorite flower and they only bloom in May! So beautiful, dramatic and feminine....I put them in vintage mason jars and milk jugs, a simple alternative to vases and way cooler I think! These are all over the studio now making me smile and filling the air with sweet perfume. :)






There is so much to do this week but I am getting really excited about it all. Tonight I'm meeting with the photographer for our shoot and tomorrow another meeting with a designer friend for a cool collaboration we are doing for SS2010! Wow! Time flies....two weeks and I am back in NYC. YAY!
