Our Picks: 2013 Cannes Red Carpet Looks!

Cannes Film Festival 2013 is currently in progress. Leads stars from all over have gathered at the French Riviera to take part in the biggest film festival in the world. With big stars, come big red carpet looks, and here are some of our favorites.

Carey Mulligan (and Justin Timberlake!)


The cast of the new Coen brothers film (with lead actors Carey and Justin), Inside Llewyn Davis, were out in force in Cannes over the weekend for the film's glitzy premiere. Carey chose a very on-trend monochrome dress from Vionnet, paired with Brain Atwood heels. A simple pull backed updo and no jewels makes us love the simplicity and minimalist approach to this look.

Jessica Biel


While Jessica had no movies of her own to promote, she was their for full support for her hubby (JT no less!) The beautiful actress wowed in a feathered and embroidered strapless dress by Marchesa, white pumps and a statement snake necklace by Bulgari. 

Jennifer Lawrence


Following in the monochromatic trend of Cannes, Jennifer Lawrence wows in Dior gown paired with black peep tow pumps and a transparent clutch. She was their to promote her new movie Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian).

Berenice Bejo


Berenice Bejo, star of 2011's The Artist, attended the Cannes premiere of The Past wearing a white ballgown by Alexis Mabile and a blue blazer, paired with an Olympia Le-Tan book cover clutch.

Rooney Mara


Rooney Mara looked stunning in yet another black and white ensemble. She attended the photocall for Ain't Them Bodies Saints wearing a white silk bustier and contrasting black wool skirt by Dior.

Freida Pinto


Freida took old hollywood glam to a new level. The actress wore a sparkly silver dress with a sexy thigh-high split by Sanchita.

Fan Bingbing


Never one to dissapoint on the red carpet, Chinese actress Fan Bingbing became the belle of the ball in this pastel yellow gown by Elie Saab Couture. Paired with yellow-gold earrings, a braided updo and an amazing orange lip, there's no way we couldn't fall in love with this look.

The Cast of the Bling Ring


One of the movies we're most excited about seeing is The Bling Ring by Sofia Coppola. Previewed at Cannes, the cast (Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga, Israel Broussard, Claire Julien and Emma Watson) looked amazing and fresh as a group.

Here's a sneak peak of The Bling Ring, out next month!

How To Wear: Susana Monaco Tube Top

Susana Monaco Tube Tops are our spring and summer essential! They are comfortable, breathable and flattering on any body type! They're also so simply designed that it's easy to wear it with any outfit. But in case you were stuck on what to pair it with, we're here to help!

Susana Monaco Tube Top
We usually order the tube tops in fun and bright colours so it's easy to brighten up any outfit. If you need to head to a breakfast brunch, pair it with some pastel pink items and a high-waisted skirt. If you're heading out for a day in the park or lunch on the patio, a lightweight cardigan paired with some bright heels or flats and a scarf will complete this effortless outfit.

We also love using the tube top as a layering piece, and even tucking it into jeans for a not-as-tight Spanx! It's a versatile piece that will work in any women's wardrobe.

How To Wear: Striped Maxi

Maxi dresses have made a huge comeback within the past couple years! They're comfortable and are perfect day to night dresses. We always get questions on what to wear with them, so we put together this small guide!

Maxi Dress Outfits

Keep the dress casual with a denim jacket or vest and pair it with some fun accessories like a braided belt, aviator sunglasses and some wedges or strappy sandals. If you're going out, jazz it up with a great structured blazer or leather jacket and pair it with some strappy or metallic heels with matching jewelery.

You can play around with maxi dresses so much that it's no wonder it's one of our go to pieces for the spring! Our Iris Striped Maxi dress is perfect for these outfits, and we only have limited sizes available, so hurry in!

Go Commando!

Well, not literally. However, we just received some new underwear from the brand Commando and we're upset we didn't find out about these sooner!


Commando underwear do exactly what you think they would do. They're seamless thongs that are so comfortable, it feels like you're not wearing anything at all. Commando is Kerry O’Brien’s labor of love. After leaving her Big Job in the Big City, she decamped to the Green Mountains of Vermont and turned her entrepreneurial spirit and fashion fixation (you should see her killer closet!) into a full-time foray.At commando, they believe that fun, functional and fashionable should coexist. Their bestselling underwear and legwear embody their philosophy: using high-tech luxury fabrics, a flattering fit, and gorgeous colors and prints to turn the traditional on its cheeks.

Not only are they the best underwear you'll own, they also come in the most amazing colors and prints!


So, come grab a pair (or 5!) and join us by going Commando!

New Brand: St-Martins


We love bringing new lines into Candie & Dolls, and the brand St-Martins really caught our eye. We loved the combination of great prints and simple designs. Taken from their website:

"In the st-martins collection we let opposites meet to create surprisingly new stories. We find inspiration in the newest trends in fashion, in second hand clothes stores, in street style from around the world but also in music, art and history. Here we find “stories” that inspire us to create the “st-martins universe”. You can talk about the “soul” of st-martins, because our clothes has its own soul and personality.

Each style in the st-martins collection is made to tell its own little story. The collection contains both sophisticated “quiet” clothes and charmingly “loud” clothes, and both of these types of clothes are made with very carefully “thought out” and refined details. 

Many of our styles are made with a mix of fabrics and decorated beautifully with embroideries or prints. We often use humor and colours in our designs, and together with the use of mixed fabrics and decorations these are the most important things that make the brand st-martins unique.

We think of each garment as a unique piece, and therefore we also spend a lot of time designing the inside of the coats and jackets. Often, we “leave” a little message inside, to give the impression that the clothes is talking to you."


We love it! Our first shipment of St Martins arrived earlier this week, and here are just a few of their great pieces!
