Saving the environment is not just about finding rare and exotic eco-friendly materials. In fact, sometimes it can be as simple as extending the life of the clothing already in our closets. Candice Held Designs, based in Los Angeles, epitomizes the upcycling chic movement in the eco-world. Her ready to wear vintage scarf dresses are both chic and resourceful. She mixes beautiful vintage scarf patterns and colors to create one of a kind statement pieces. Candice’s dresses have inspired us at LuxEco Living to think outside the box when it comes to sourcing eco-conscious materials.
Candice Held, now a local Angeleno fashion designer, studied first as a professional dancer. Her love for dance helped her to appreciate the female form, and her designs illustrate her knowledge of highlighting the elegant curves of a woman’s body. These skills coupled with her love for repurposing thrift store finds guided her to study fashion design at the New York Fashion Academy in her hometown of Seattle, Washington.
Candice’s eco-conscious design eye is admired by many and she has made a name for herself in the eco-fashion world and beyond. This is most apparent when it comes to her large celebrity following with A-listers such as Halle Berry, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Carmen Electra, all wearing Candice Held Designs.
Candice Held Dresses have truly established a niche for effortless chic in the eco-world.

Show someone a photo of a lush forest with a grizzly bear and ask what's in the picture. Most will answer, "a bear." Add a spotted owl to the scene, and the response might become, "a grizzly bear under an owl." What you are unlikely to hear is a description of the flora accompanying the charismatic fauna.
you must be extremely bored---it's often said that only boring people are bored. I find it obvious from your posts (yes, I read a bunch of them) that you are self-important and that you believe EVERYONE is entitled to your opinion. Guess what????? You are part of the minority and you are becoming a laughing stock for the majority.
