Dulce Candy, top fashion and beauty icon for the social media generation, will be hosting the OC Fashion Showcase (www.ocfashionshowcase.com) closing night!

Orange County Fashion Showcase is dedicated to pulling together the fashion and business communities in Orange County in order to support philanthropic goals of all concerned. While we love fashion, it is our belief that philanthropy is essential to the development of strong communities. By partnering with charitable organizations, we are able to serve our communities while finding new inspirations for our industry.

The October events include three nights (October 20th – October 22nd) of fashion shows, networking, music, silent auction and celebrity.

Dulce Tejeda, or better known as Dulce Candy, always dreamt of being a school teacher. Now 23 years later she teaches millions of followers on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter her beauty and fashion secrets. With currently over 100 million views on YouTube, Dulce Candy has become one of the top fashion and beauty icons for the social media generation.

Dulce Candy accredits her independence and strength as a woman to her experience in the Army. In 2006, as a personal challenge to herself, Dulce impulsively decided to join the army working as a Mechanic. Although her experience in the Army was a positive and rewarding one, Dulce found herself becoming very defeminized; wearing the same uniform day in and day out and not being able to display or express her passion for fashion. It was finally in 2008 when she quickly discovered that the internet was a tremendous outlet for her to express her femininity and love of fashion. One evening, Dulce came home from a long day at work took off her uniform, turned on the camera, and just began talking about nothing other than girl stuff; makeup, fashion, and shopping. Consequently the phenomenon we now know as Dulce Candy was created.

Dulce recognizes her mother as the major inspiration behind her love of fashion, but she also turns to other fashion, décor, and lifestyle bloggers for a daily dose of creativity. Using her passion and her undeniable talents, Dulce has become one of the most sought-after social media icons to date.

Being an expert of social media, Dulce realizes the importance of staying in constant communication with her fans and followers. She is constantly uploading new pictures or tweeting what she is doing at any given moment (she even documented the birth of her child on her blog). The driving force behind her is the feeling she gets knowing that she inspires other girls to feel more beautiful and have a higher self-esteem.

While Dulce has accomplished a lot in her 23 short years, she is not even close to being done. Her plans include launching her own clothing and make-up line, as well as opening up her own boutique in Los Angeles.

Recently, Dulce was chosen as the “Official Blogger” for Fashion’s Night Out 2011 as well as being selected for the cover of The Stylist Handbook.
