"I've been a fan of Nikki's designs for years, so I was honored to be a part of her latest collection.

Her clutches are the best for my down days when I all need are the essentials," Candy says of being the face of the new line.
Candy's favorite piece from the collection is the Chloe clutch that comes in Spring Green, Bright Fuchsia, and Blue, with a thick brown leather strip in the front with gold studs.
