Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Adoring Adornments is one of the side-quests that can be completed in Yusnaan, after the first main-quest named The Great Break-In, and after you gain access to the Augur’s Quarter.
Here, you will have to find Candice, who is your client. Candice spawns after 7 PM and you will find her close to the western restaurant.
She has a large cart and she stands near it. You can identify her faster by her red hair and by the yellow shirt she is wearing.
Once you talk to her you will start Adoring Adornments, and the following walkthrough provides several tips to complete it faster.
However, Adoring Adornments requires patience or money, being somehow connected to other side-quests, and the rewards you receive for completing them.

Quest Walkthrough
Completing Adoring Adornments in Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns is not an easy task, hence the 3 stars set on its difficulty.
The main reason is that Candice, your client, can’t be satisfied if you show her a decent number of adornments, and she constantly asks for more. Adoring Adornments is a side-quest divided in stages.
For the first stage you will need 10 adornments. Once you get them you will have to return to Candice.
The second step is to find 30 adornments, while for the last step, which also allows you to finish Adoring Adornments, you need no less than 55 adornments. There are multiple ways to get adornments, such as completing-side quests or Canvas of Prayers quests.
You can also find them inside spheres which are scattered around all areas. However, the easiest way to get the required amount of adornments for Candice, is to buy them (assuming you have enough money).
Candice doesn’t require a specific adornment; therefore, all of them are good for your client. If you wish to buy adornments, check the Outfitters, because all of them sell these items, and they are different.
First, count the adornments you already have in your inventory and then buy the remaining number until you get 55.
Candice won’t take the adornments from you, but she wants to see them. Next, talk to Candice the third time to finish the Adoring Adornments side-quest, and to unlock Adoring Candice quest.
