Socially Driven with Mercedes-Benz: Exploring My Los Angeles #ad

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

One of my favorite, and most iconic brands, has to be Mercedes-Benz. I seriously have the Black 2017 G550 Jeep on my vision board. So when I heard about their Socially Driven campaign, I couldn't wait to partner with them to share my experience of Los Angeles, through my unique perspective, with you all. 

As a fashion and lifestyle blogger, exploring my city and finding the coolest places, trends, and events to share with you all is in my job, but it's also my passion. I truly love the experience of discovery and trying new things, and I hope you enjoy exploring Los Angeles as much as I do.

So if you had just one day in Los Angeles, these are my not-to-be missed moments. 

Make-up and hair day at Beauty Balm Studio. Let your inner beauty shine.


Explore Melrose Avenue. They have amazing shops, cute boutiques, and local eateries. Be sure to post about your day.


Get a facial at Kiehl's. Be sure to take advantage of their in-store skin experts that can create customized skincare products and regimens just for you.


Go wine tasting at Malibu Wines. It's the perfect way to spend a day with your #squad.


Crash a photoshoot or film/tv set. It's LA! Always be respectful, but it's the land of dreams! Go get your 15 minutes.

Are you ready to join us? What's YOUR version of your city?

If you live in or plan on visiting NYC, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami, or Denver, Mercedes-Benz is inviting you to share your city in a simple and artistic way on Instagram.

It's easy—you create a quick (but beautiful) animated album of 5 of your best geotagged photos and upload it to Instagram, just visit here on your phone.

Then, you share your album on your feed with the hashtag #MBsociallydriven—and your photos might be featured on the Mercedes-Benz website! 

Ready to rediscover your city? Let's go!

The 3 Instagram Filters That Celebrities Love for Selfies

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

I recently read an article on one of my favorite fashion and beauty sites, Who What Wear. Appropriately titled, The 3 Instagram Filters That Celebrities Love for Selfies, the article featured the top filters on Instagram that celebrity use for selfies and which celebrities use them. 

Of course, as an avid Instagrammer myself, I decided to try them out and share the results with you all. 

My usual filter go-to to is Amaro, but perhaps it's time to spread my filter wings and try something new. 

Below are the 3 filters featured in the article.

Let me know what you think! Which one is you fav?
