Candyland
When I was in middle school, the majority of my hard-earned babysitting money was spent at The Sweet Factory. Bulk candy still proves to be just as enticing, especially when it shares the same space with adorable clothes. Yesterday I stumbled upon A.sweeT, a boutique whose dresses and skirts are equally as impressive as their unrivaled selection of gummy candies. I only spent $7 on my first trip (blame it on the sour apple balls, watermelon ropes and Swedish fish), but I’m sure I’ll do a lot more damage once I head back to try on the clothes.

It’s seriously one of my ‘sweet’ spots in LA. I secretly like the candy more than their clothes, but it’s like the marriage of two of the best things in the world. Love that you covered this!

Oh wow that’s a great concept. I’m curious to know what the clothes look like now!
Mmmm yummy. I have a great weakness for chocolate and sweets, but a candy store AND clothes shop? I think I would have been in heaven…

I forgot about The Sweet Factory! Used to be a childhood favorite! I think they’re closed now. Looks like you found a good substitute!
aaah that sounds like bliss! x
Uh, is that a candy soldier? That looks like something Homer Simpson dreamed up. Cool.
That is such an amazing idea! I wouldn’t know where to start
sweets make the world a lovelier place. shops all around should be inspired
ps-watermelon ropes are heaven on earth!

That looks like such a cute store! It brings me back memories of my candy buffet birthday a couple of years back!

Ah, that is brilliant!! Great pics too!
So I definitely like to eat candy. No question there. But you know what I think I like even better? LOOKING at candy. Admiring it all lined up in rainbow order, drooling over the graphic wonder and repeating patterns of bulk gumballs, seeing it jumbled up inside a clear cellophane bag. It’s just so PRETTY–and you captured that PERFECTLY with your pics

Love the pictures! The colors are so vivid, and everything looks so tasty! I wish we had candy stores around here; the closest I can get to one is the candy bins in a grocery store!

In Sweden, where I am from there is bulk candy in every grocery store, so Swedish Fish really brings a history of bulk candy! Sooo tasty!

Ohmigosh I want to live here! I too spent a large quantity of money at The Sweet Factory – mainly on chocolate covered pretzels and gummy bears!!
My first job was at a bulk candy store. Looking back on it, I really didn’t take advantage of being surrounded by candy like I should have. Ha. Great photos!
uhhhhhhhh YUM!!!!

this is amazing! best thing ever invented.
Oh god this sounds like heaven!
I have such a sweet tooth – I spent all my pocket money on sweets at school too, it’s a wonder I have any teeth left ^_^
I’m glad there’s such a lovely fashion blogger out there who can also share her sweet indulgences and really enjoy good food. I just wish I was a better cook, ha!
Much Love,

Your post made me crave sweets!
Reminds me of the Topshop flagship store in London. They have a huge selection of bulk sweets too. Essential sustenance for a long shopping expedition!
The cutest store in Beverly Hills.
WOW! This is rad! I’m so glad there’s nothing like this in Seattle….or I’d be huge!
