Guest Post- Candice of Brilliant Sugar

Blog world, meet my best friend Candice. Candice and I have been soul mates for close to two decades, and she's pretty well the most beautiful woman I've ever met (gushy, I know!). I'm seriously thrilled that she has decided to start her own style blog. You must, must visit her adorable space right here!. Happy reading!


Hello Doll Parade readers! I'm so happy to have been asked to take part in Kristin's guest blogger week. As a new blogger (it seems strange to even call myself that, to be truthful!) I am embracing this opportunity to say hello and hopefully share my little blog with more readers.




It makes me especially giddy to share my first guest post on Doll Parade - truly one of my favourite blogs! I'm lucky enough to not only know K. in real life, but to share a sister-like friendship with her that has spanned - whoa - almost 15 years! We go way, way back. It's fitting though, to be posting on her personal style blog, as we've watched each other's style evolve tremendously over the years. I've always been and continue to be inspired by her knack for taking risks and having an intangible ability to make basics look stylish. If anyone knows how to embellish, it's my best friend.


This outfit combines two of my favourite colours - black & red. I'm a sucker for red lips and have been wearing them with the most casual or dressed-up outfits for the last year or so. So fun! The skirt is a favourite of mine - it's full yet light and it adds a certain edge, I think. 


I hope you'll come visit me at www.brilliantsugar.com for more treats in the coming weeks. You can also follow me on Twitter at @_brilliantsugar. 

I've admired other blogs for years and I'm so excited to put mine out there - I must admit, I'm feeling pretty smitten with the whole process!

To my best friend - thank you for being eternally stylish, supportive and super inspirational. Love!

Daytime Sequins

Hello friends. Happy Wednesday. I'm happy to blog to you with an outfit from this weekend  past, and if you follow me on twitter, you may have noticed me vying for your votes on whether this post should feature sequin, ribbon, or polka dots. Sequin took the cake, and I'm not surprised - I have always been enamored with sequin, especially this past season. I wanted to try a daytime look, and this particular top is both vintage and cropped - what more could I ask for?




This day was just so much fun. My friend Katie and I hopped down to a nearby city to visit our dearest Kate who has recently re-located. We started our journey with large caffeinated beverages and a Sam Cooke playlist, and once we arrived we proceeded to eat, gab, wander, photo, and shop. So many of my favorite things rolled into one - I was pretty darn pleased. Thank you as well to Barb for putting up with my sass and holding onto my belongings while I convulsed with laughter. Have a very happy mid-week day, everyone.
