Exploring Fashion - Candace Kling Ribbon Artist

 Candy Anyone?  

Recently, our fashion camp had the opportunity to visit the studio of Candace Kling.  Candace is a ribbon artist and as we've come to find out, one of the leading ribbon experts in California, if not the US.  Studying the ribbon arts from history as well as creating her own modern wonders, Candace brings ribbon to life.  Check out her works of art below and above.

Exploring Fashion - Fashion Journalists Week 2

Yesterday, we started Week 2 of our Exploring Fashion Camp.  Our group (see above) spent the morning of watching "Bill Cunningham - New York", a documentary about a Fashion photographer in NYC who rides around on his bicycle  taking pictures of fashion on the Street.  Afterwards, these young fashion bloggers went to Bay Street in Emeryville where we spotted trends, hot colors and some pretty awesome accessories.  See below for a taste of their favorites.

This lovely lady had a great studded ring and gorgeous BRIGHT Orange nails.  One of the Hot colors for the season for sure!

 

She had matching studded shoes that she decorated herself.

Neon was the Uber trend of the moment along with color blocking neon as you can see in the shoe above ( at Steve Madden) and the Window below (LoLa)

Cool combo of printed blouse and lace shorts!

 Love his bag! &lt's Bright Orange!

More candy coated colors at Williams Sonoma.

                                                          Neon is sooo in!!!!!!!!  :)

The Gumballs carried the theme and were fun to look at.

                                           This is so COOL! Look at the beautiful pink paint!
                                           I wonder if they got my message?.......

We love the nails and phone cover!
