“How to Understand Men Through Their Dogs”

by Wendy Diamond

This hilarious book details how to understand, “train” and accept your man…based on the breed of his dog!

Not only are we learning about the men in our lives, but we also are getting the 411 on famous cuties like Leonardo DiCaprio (poodle man!) and Brett Favre (yorkie man).

We think it would be amazing to have a women’s edition; we’re curious what Wendy would say about us based on our pups.

Super fun read. If you get a hold of a copy, let us know what you think.

Splendid Launch Party

Posted On April 24th, 2012 , by Dylans Candy Bar

Last week Dylan hosted Splendid’s NYC store opening!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Celebrations & Bar team brought the Dylan’s Candy Bar experience downtown to Splendid’s new store in Soho (111 Spring Street). We set up a colorful candy display and a candy cocktail bar with our favorite summer drinks such as, The Strawberry Nerds Mojito and Dylan’s Peachy Tea.

To make the night even more exciting, Dylan introduced Dylan’s Candy Bar for Splendid limited edition blankets that she designed exclusively for Splendid. All proceeds of the blankets benefited the MCSPCA, an organization dedicated to protecting and advocating for all animals. MCSPCA is where Dylan adopted her new puppy, Jersey!  Tip: These blankets paired with a Splendid dress is perfect for a picnic or day at the beach!

Hi Everybody!  I am so excited for my first entry on the new Dylan’s Candy Bar blog, I Dream in Candy.  There are so many new candies, products, friends, activities and companies that I love, and I can’t wait to share them with you here.

The most common question I am asked about Dylan’s Candy Bar is “What inspires you?”

Well, I find inspirations in my everyday life all the time. Right now I’m most inspired by my new puppy, Jersey, the fun Spring fashion the gals are wearing in my office, and as always, candy.

To me candy is ART, candy is FASHION, candy is ENTERTAINMENT, candy is a JOY, and candy is a WORLD OF COLOR.

As a matter of fact, it thrills me to see NYC embracing bright candy colors right now, especially since I love combining bold, complementary colors in everything I design and wear.  The combination of sea green and coral (like Alex is wearing below) with pops of turquoise is currently one of my favorite color combinations.

Check out some of our inspirations and things we are drooling over.

Corals & shades of green are a must! Dress and top from Splendid. Jeans from H&M. Gumball necklace crafted by Katie!

Thanks for stopping by! Look forward to seeing you all back here, dreaming in candy with me.

<3 Dylan

It’s supposed to be 90 degrees in NYC today!  Grab your sunglasses and some iced coffee and head to Central Park on your lunch break.

Or if you have little time follow our office pup’s Sabra’s lead and sun bathe on the roof.

All Ears

Posted On April 10th, 2012 , by Dylans Candy Bar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just in time for Easter, Vogue  asked Dylan’s Candy Bar to create a bunny inspired item for their piece Down the Rabbit Hole and we are so proud of our creation that we had to share with you the transformation!

Katie, Dylan’s Candy Bar’s crafter extraordinaire, worked for over 2 days straight (yes she is a perfectionist!) on putting the entire mosaic together.

First she duplicated our mascot Chocolate the Bunny using hot glue and a ton of jelly beans!  Try these for your mosaic!

Step One: Do Not Burn Your Fingers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next she used our signature Turquoise and created a lovely border to accentuate Chocolate.

Step Two: Pick a Background Color

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally she nit-picked and made her final changes before glazing the entire mosaic to preserve (and shine)!

Step Three: Admire Your Work!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try it out and be sure to post the outcomes here!!
