Hope you have a wonderful weekend! We had rain, thunder, lightning and hail this week in Northern California, but it's supposed to be nice and warm on Saturday and Sunday- perfect for the photo shoot I'll be doing this weekend! I hope the weather is beautiful for you as well! xoxo
If you love gorgeous one of a kind papergoods, you will love Imeon Design's Etsy shop! I initially fell in love with her handmade cards, announcements and invitations months ago, and much to my surprise she now creates party favors. They are just as stunning and are perfect for a birthday party, bridal/baby shower, wedding guests and more!

A little over a month ago on a very warm March afternoon, I had the opportunity of photographing my wonderful friend, Julia, her boyfriend, Tharon and their adorable German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, Billy.
Isn't Billy just the cutest?! I love, love, love this picture!!!

I recently had the opportunity of reviewing highly acclaimed, world renowned Couture Cleaner, Madame Paulette's stain remover and jumped at the chance. As someone who usually spills something on herself when at lunch or dinner I knew this was something I had to see for myself. I've heard many people rave about stain removers but I had never had much luck. I knew after reading the company testimonials by Martha Stewart Wedding, Lucky, Vera Wang, Hermes (the star studded list goes on and on) that if anyone could help me with my dilemma they could!
I was sent out a Professional Stain Kit which has three different types of stain removers. One is for Earth Based Stains (alcoholic beverages, fruit juices, coffee, jelly, soda), the second is for Protein Based Stains (Blood, Dairy products, Perspiration, Vomit) and the third is for Oil Based Stains (cooking oils, bacon grease, lotions/creams, mayonnaise, grease/oil, dressings). Each kit provides instructions on how to clean the clothing/garment and also contains special instructions in case you were to get a complex stain such as ink, lipstick, liquid make-up, etc.
On Saturday while out to lunch, I unfortunately spilled food on my brand new J Crew top (Perfect-Fit Cascade Tee - ON MY LIST). I was so upset about it, mostly at myself. I often wonder how I get more food on my clothing than in my mouth?! Thankfully I followed the simple instructions and voila the stain was gone. I didn't have to throw it in the washer or anything which was a PLUS since I had places to go, people to see and was nowhere near my home.
I highly recommend this stain removal kit, it is very easy to use, isn't messy, and is small enough to take with you in your handbag or leave in your glove box. They're very inexpensive at $12.50 for one kit, two kits for $20, and five kits for $37.50. Oh and did I mention that the wonderful people at Madame Paulette have been kind enough to offer the readers of Candace Rose a discount?! That is a fact!

1st Dibs has quickly become my favorite place to spend time salivating over items I will one day purchase for my impending mansion. While browsing the Vuitton collection, I decided that not only do I need a Louis Vuitton bag but a trunk to go along with it to furnish my bedroom. I could use it as a night stand, or a bed for Francesca my precious puppy. Well, since I'm under budget and Freddy is still in his I have to chew everything in sight stage, I will continue to drool and wait for the day that my future home will be filled with happiness and a Louis or two or three!

Oh how I wish I knew how to sew, I would love to buy black and white Chevron print fabric and create curtains on my own! I'm in the market for curtains for my closet and bedroom window, but I think I'd prefer the Chevron print for my closet. If you happen to know where I can find curtains in this particular print, please share!
Hope the sun is shining where you are today! Here are a few of my favorite flip flops at the moment. I'm loving the Frye's, which ones are you coveting?!
but it's back to the vets we go, for her last shot that is! Woooohooo! It's been a busy 7 weeks, and I'm sure she's more than ready to be done with it all. I know I am. It's not fun hearing your little puppy in the other room cry in pain! The first time she was a trooper and growled, this last time was not as easy. If she cries you know it's bad, she's the toughest girl ever. I mean how many three pound pups do you know of that school Great Danes and Weimaraners?!
A few months ago I was honored to be included in an etsy treasury with the ever-so-talented etsy shop, Frippelous. I quickly fell in love with everything in this gorgeous shop, and am honored to feature it today with all of you!
