Melrose on a Saturday...went a little somethin' like this:

 who: me and Cosmo (at his store Flasher on Melrose)

why: I had to return the painful red shoes I bought
(as far as shoes go..I aim for comfort...and hope they are cute! the only thing cute about those red shoes was the strawberry shortcake red color my feet were after putting them on for just a few minutes!)

FYI: for some reason the angle of this picture makes me look much "fitter" than I am in real life... I love it! ha ha ha

what the melrose do I have on? 

(random side note: i think I saw a picture of Ke$ha wearing the american flag shirt next to me at Coachella)
Good ol' leopard print bargain leggings from Old Navy
Black tube dress from American Apparel that I cut and wear as a skirt
Old skool Madonna print shirt
Black wedges that hurt so bad I had to put my flip-flops on shortly after this picture was taken...
One silver hoop earring and one dangly chain and pearl earring...I think I got at Claire's

Beware of shops on Melrose...
most stores on Melrose sell the same stuff, one store will sell a shirt for $75 then 2 stores down the same shirt for $19...I'm not even joking! The same pants were selling for $80, I saw across the street for $39!
some stores seem to ALWAYS be "Going Out of Business" and having crazy deals! ha ha ha


huge love and still painful feet....your kandee

Melrose, Miss USA & Me

 Where: Flasher (I went to see Cosmo from this video, click here)
I did not have enough clothes for this show...I needed another outfit, so I went to see my friend Cosmo at his other store FLASHER on Melrose. He is the one that made my awesome tutu outfit and he is so fun and gave me some clothes! He's so amazing and hilarious!

 Me and the famous Cosmo! We raced through a few vintage stores on Melrose, but some of the prices are a little crazy...$100 for an old t-shirt I can get at a thrift store near me for like $2! Didn't buy any of those!

then we raced back to the hotel....Miss USA, Rima Fakih, was coming to my hotel room for me to do her make-up! I tried to film it to show you guys in a video (we'll see how it came out!)...it was the fastest make-up ever! And I got to do a mini-interview too!!!
OH MY CROWN! I got to wear the MISS USA CROWN!!!!
And she said we looked like sisters! I was so honored!!!
She invited me to the Miss USA pageant and to do her make-up there, too!

Then I had to hurry and leave to get to the location for the filming of How Do I Look!
Got back late...ate a waffle from the crepe place (their crepes weren't so great)...
got in jammies tried to reply to a few people online and fell asleep...

and now I'm awake typing you all!
huge love and sparkly crowns....your kandee

Just another day...riding a dragon.

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's a flying dragon with people on it!

This was so much fun...my kind of ride...man-powered. The guy that made this, just pushes you. No crazy roller coasters...me  no likey the roller coasters! 

This was our day filming for How Do I Look, on the Style channel.

Please tell me how much you love that, celebrity stylist, Kim Vo, is the only one riding it backwards!

(just moments before I looked a little something like this: www.kandeeland.com)

 And here's my "guy-twin"....ha ha ha ha Just kidding, it's just my cousin, Josh, but we do look quite similar in this picture! And I look redonkulously tall in by "wedge-forms" (platform + wedges = wedge-forms)! He and my aunt came to visit while we filmed.

Wait til you see what I'm doing today!!! I can't wait to show you guys...all I can say is:
I get to do make-up and meet Miss USA, Rima Fakih!
huge love and off to get ready....
wedge-forms and hugs...kandee

How to get GREEN (glitter) eyes!

 I always wanted green eyes, like my dad's...
but I've just had to settle for green eyelids! ha ha ha
So here's how I decorated my eyes yesterday!
(PS. do not mind my crazy lion hair I was trying to control....i was in jammies just about to washey-poo my face!)

 i love how you can see the stretched out bath scrubby, I blogged about yesterday in the background!

 WHAT I USED TO GET THE GREENY-GLITZ:


NYX Glitter Cream Palette in Ocean Breeze ($6)

 I used the top kind turquoisey color.

 then I packed on top of it....the Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow ($18)

in this awesome green color, called GRAFFITI

then I lined under the eye with electric blue liquid liner from NYX in Extreme Blue ($4.50)

and you too can have greeny-glitter eyes....
winks, blinks and lots of hugs...your kandee

Ever Wonder What A....

.... "bath scrubbie thing" looks like when it's had a long day! ha ha ha
(Do you feel like this picture!? ha ha...thanks God that we have new days with fresh new "scrubbie's" every day....) If you feel like this...exhausted, over-worked, your emotions feel like they've been stretched beyond repair...know that unlike plastic...our joy and happiness can be renewed each day! No matter what is going on in your life, sadness, hurt, grief, heart break....
there is a new day with new hope and new joys waiting for you...look for the beauty in small things, the sunset...a pretty flower...the dreams in your heart~
no matter how far you feel from your dreams..never, ever give up!
You may have to go to, what feels like the "dream wilderness", the longest route possible....in order to find way there!
*So it took moving to the middle of no where to meet your soulmate.
*You had to lose your job in order to "force" you to start working or making the thing you love doing, because now you have time to focus on it!
*you've been abandoned, broken up with, cheated on or left alone...they could be the very reason and guiding "star" to guide you and get out of the way, from the person who will truly love you and never hurt your heart like that

I had a long "stretched-out" day too
it felt like we flew all over the place...
 very turbulent flight (I never like it when the pilot tells the flight attendants to take a seat!) all the way to LA.

off to eat and get ready....
huge hugs and stretched out bath scrubbies...(ha ha ha)
your kandee

How Do I Harrisburg!?

 yesterday...at the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania taping of How Do I Look...
with Kim Vo and host Jeannie Mai...
(i have the same Hot Pink shoes that were $10, that I got at Charlotte Russe and wore the the Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure Red Carpet thing. Shirt and satin pants are from Zara- gotta love cheap and fun!)

 it was so awesome to meet everyone that came to let me hug them and say hi!!!

 Jeannie taking pictures with fans...and me saying hi to the beautiful Lisa!

 Hugging gorgeous lil Talia and it was her mama's "the birthday girl" made me cry with the love she poured into my heart!

 me and Sandra...who drove 10 hours from Florida (where we just were)...to come and let me hug her too! Her make-up was beautiful and so was her awesome cupcake and carebear tattoos (I blogged about them on my www.kandeeland.com bloggy)

I LOVE being able to meet people..it is so incredible to share the love with someone that you shared loved and hope only through the computer or videos....

I wish I could meet every single person....

I think I'll be doing a meet up at the LA taping for How Do I Look, too! (maybe tuesday I think!)

we just landed back in LA....

huge huge love to everyone that came to Harrisburg....and huge love to anyone I'll see in LA!

off to eat because I'm starving....hugs from LA, kandee

hugs from Pennsylvania....kandee
