Neon shoes meet printed denim

Jean Jacket: Vintage
Trousers: Forever21
Bag: Nine West
Shoes: Zara
Sunnies: H&M
I was finally able to do a post wearing my favorite pair of new heels! I seriously stalked Zara's site to get them in my size, and it was definitely a fashion heaven moment when I pressed that "ADD TO BASKET" button. lol ;)  Anyway, sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately, we will be back to regular programming soon!  As you can imagine, we have been insanely busy these past few months, so a little break was much needed.  Even the spicy bloggers need time to re-energize, re-group, and re-focus!!!






Jeans:  Gifted Indigo Rein 
Jacket:  H&M
Cropped Top:  American Apparel
Shoes:  Zara
Bag:  Botkier
Sunnies:  RayBan
Bracelets:  All from She's Unique (my store!)
As you know, I'm a sucker for colored, printed, and well....any kind of denim really.  So needless to say I am totally loving this leopard printed pair.  If you haven't tried Indigo Rein jeans yet, you definitely should.  They fit amazingly well, come in a lot of fun colors and styles, and best part...they are incredibly affordable! :)  I figured to pair up this busy print with a simple mint cropped top and jacket since the weather around here can't make up its mind ... one min it's 80 the next (literally) it's 60 -- definitely a sure way to get sick :(

On a side note, Carlis and I are getting ready for a weekend trip to Charlottesville to celebrate the wedding of our dear friend and creative mastermind behind SpicyCandyDC logo, blog look, and portfolio -- the talented Mike Matera of Simplxity!  It will be a weekend of wine tasting, fun in the sun, dancing, eating, and enjoying some Barn Chic fashion -- yea you heard right, we said barn chic! haha.  Don't worry, we'll make sure to keep you up-to-date via Instagram so you too can see what we mean by barn chic :) Oh and if you're not yet following our insta, find us @spicycandydc.

Our New Look + Two-year Anniversary

Dear friends & readers, today's post is a little bit different from our usual "outfit or inspiration" posts, but it is very close to our hearts for two very special reasons.

1. As you probably already noticed, we updated our logo with a look that we feel truly embodies the essence of SpicyCandyDC, and we hope you love our new and stylish "outfit" as much as we do! We were very fortunate to work on this project with our good friend, and probably one of the most talented and professional people we know, Mike Matera of Simplxity. Mike's simple process of helping us understand who we are as a brand and where we want to go from here was insightful, exciting, and just plain ol' cool! When we decided to work with him on these updates we knew we wanted to take our brand to the next level, but never did we expect for this process to be so eye-opening and fun. So we want to use this opportunity to extend a special Thank You for all of the hard work that went into creating this new look and for our awesome Portfolio (we'll be happy to provide our portfolio/media kit to those interested in working with us - see our contact page for details).

2. Aside from these exciting changes to our blog's look and feel, today we are also celebrating our Two-year Anniversary...yay! Sometimes it's hard to believe that it has been that long since the first day we decided to embark on this creative journey. No words can describe how proud we are of how far we've come, how much we've accomplished, and where we are headed in this new year. So thank you for reading our blog, for all of your sweet comments, and for encouraging us to continue doing what we love most. We hope that you find inspiration in what we do as well, because that truly is our biggest gift!

PS: We are super excited to celebrate with our DC family later this afternoon at our b-day brunch!!! There is nothing better than the combination of a yummy Mexican feast, fun DJ tunes by our friend DJ Napoleon Enrique, and our most fabulous friends and bloggers all in one place! We can't wait to see you all there!
