“I had so much fun being the @Candiesbrand girl! Time to pass the torch!! The next Candie’s girl is….” tweeted Lea Michele from her official Twitter account. Attaching a video, the fans had to watch the short message as Lea Michele dishes that Carly Rae Jepsen will pick up the duties.

Candies brand is an extremely popular fashion line for the young adults. Always chic styles and lots of looks, it isn’t surprising to see another young, hip woman is going to be advertising campaigns. Of course Lea Michele will be missed, but Carly Rae Jepsen is a good replacement.
