my amazing mama (shannon)...my pretty aunt...and me trying on hats at the Vintage show in Santa Monica...California....
My Nana was with us too, but I'm not sure where she was when we took this picture...
I did feel like it was Christmas because my Nana gave us each some money to buy some treasures...(thank you so much Nana...if you are reading this...i love you!)...
we had so much fun...we tried on hats, jewelry...and had so much fun wandering through the decades of fashion!
me with the biggest, blingiest earrings...ever...can you say CLIP-ONS!?!
I asked this guy if I could capture the amazement of his super-tall pompador hair....!!! whoa tall!
this was an awesome headband that I would have like to have bought...except that it was $195......
I'll have to do a tutorial on how to make one on the cheap! ha ha ha
my favorite pirate / napoleon hat....i think she we should all start wearing these hats...
I fell in love with these white leather boots......and yes, they did end up leaving with me....I don't know when, or where, exactly I'm going to wear them....but I loved their "pretty woman"-esque-80's-rocker feel.....
It was so fun....I wish I loved in the 40's...could wear extraordinary hats everyday, and clothes that simply dripped with style...it made me want to go through my whole closet and wear only vintage pieces!
(oh, and I got a killer gold biker jacket with fringe on the back....and I mean, shimmery gold, baby!)

Very cool! Thanks for sharing all this! Looks like it was fun. God bless your Nana. (PS You look a lot like your aunt!!!)
Our work just got back from a shopping trip in new orleans and they said that the vintage shopping there is AMAZING and super cheap! lots of victorian stuff and "glampire-esque" goodies. Sorry, we're stealing "glampire" for our trend forecast. u are sooo ahead of the game! =)
Fabulous! I love vintage clothes too. Sounds like you girls had a lot of fun!

We really should dress like people from the victorian era. Everything was much more classy and upscale. I'm lovin' the pirate hat, girl! Anything reminiscent of Johnny Depp is good.

Those boots remind me of the Barbie from the 80's Barbie and The Rockers (She was my most favorite barbie ever)

Your family is beautiful! And you could totally rock those boots with what you have on in the pic...LOVE 'em!!

Love the 40s.so classy. The headband is gorgeous and hats are so fun. I bought one at second hand store and have been trying to find a chance to wear it..ha! I think at some point I will have to throw a 1940s party. That would be a blast!! I wanted to see if you would would do a dalmation look to go with the Cruella look. I was thinking about dressing up as her and taking my nieces and nephews out as dalmations. :)

Oh! I like the Egyptian styled headband with the sparkles... yes, the one that cost $195. Wow. I wish I had money to burn - I'd collect so many things and I know I'm not the only one that would! lLolL
Adore those Boots! Yep they'd be walking home with me too - if I had those long legs - or maybe not - cuz they'd sure look good just sitting in the corner of the bedroom huh! Sexy!!!
and everyone at achool laughed at me when IIIII wore a fannypack!
Saw this on amazon.com Kandee, people are totally buying everything you recommend, myself included!
Lots of Kandee Johnson fans on Amazon!, May 31, 2009
By Garden State (Tallahassee, FL) - See all my reviews
I love how all the products listed here (customers who bought this also bought this...) are stuff Kandee recommends on her blog and on YouTube! Un-petroleum jelly, lemon cod liver oil, hemp shakes, fruit enzyme cleanser, night cream... it's great! She knows her stuff and it's so awesome people are buying the things she recommends. Un-petroleum jelly is awesome, by the way!!!
LOVE the headband! Please do a tutorial!! <3<3
You are so adorable!! I have to mention how inspirational you are to everyone! People just love you because you are amazing. So I posted something on my blog, and gave you a Kreativ Blog award.

Loving the boots, xxx
Hey Kandee! Love the boots!! :)
Question: I wanna be a troll for Halloween (not the scary kind, but the cute ones with the gem for a belly button), I know they don't really have make-up but I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on how to make my face look more like a troll, and also the best way to get my hair to stand straight up?
Thanks so much,
Candice
