A.sweeT. Secret Admirer
Last week, I was stunned & flattered to discover that I had a secret admirer. I was even more blown away by the amazing gift that he sent me. I am going to let the photos do the talking; but let me say, I have never - in my life - received a surprise so thoughtful and as incredible as this…

A Recap: Hooray for National Licorice Day!
Yesterday we spent the day celebrating National Licorice Day. We gave some away for free (woopeee!) and we took some inspiration from the classic candy. The day really got us to thinking…
1) People L-O-V-E random holidays. Give ‘em a reason to celebrate something and they will. Not that Licorice isn’t a reason to celebrate. We certainly think its reason enough. But, we also think we are going to make celebrating all sorts (mmm. I love all sorts!) of holidays the norm around here.
2) Licorice has been around for ages - and guess what? It’s some pretty influential & powerful stuff. In fact, manuscripts from 360 A.D. record that licorice helped cure eye ailments, skin disease, respiratory infections, and loss of hair (hello, fellas are you listening?). Napoleon Bonaparte even used to eat it during batting to settle his aching stomach. But, he took it a little too far and ate so much of it, that his teeth turn black. Yowzers! That is a lot of licorice. But, don’t worry kids, that can’t happen to you in current times. Recipes and ingredients have changed. Phew.
3) Licorice has not only influenced our historical figures; but it currently influences us in modern day. First of all, I can’t go to the movies with out a pack of licorice, can you? But, aside from that - it’s colors have inspired so many of our fashion choices from nail polish, to sandals, to handbags, to hats, to the dresses that we we wear.
That said, we’ve featured A.sweeT. round up of a few of our favorite licorice inspired things.
Clockwise, around:
5) Torn by Ronny Kobo - $278 (in-store only)
6)Melinda Maria - Galaxy Melted Bracelet - $135
7) Melissa - Voilatta Sandal - $90
8) Cleobella- Mexicana Clutch - $154
9) Haribo - Black Licorice Wheels - $15
10)Essie - Licorice Nail Polish - $8

EB Kids Benefit- HOP: Candy, Chicks Rock ‘N Roll!
Giving back is one of the sweetest things you can do. It just feels so good to give. And, what’s better than watching the faces of those who “get” light up? Yesterday, we had the honor of participating in a charity event that benefits one of our favorite foundations EBMRF (Epidermyolsis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation). The EB kids had the opportunity to privately screen the brand new movie Universal Movie, HOP - Candy, Chicks and Rock ‘N Roll! And, as if that weren’t exciting enough, after the show, they had a private reception - hosted by James Marsden and Kelly Couco - where the kids were able to satisfy their sweet teeth and partake in other fun activities.
Naturally, to help celebrate, A.sweeT. set up a candy buffet for all the kids (big and little) to enjoy. It was such a delight to see them all so excited to be able to pick out all of their favorite sweet treats. We must say, the A.sweeT. Candy Buffet was one of the main attractions at the event. And, let us tell you it was just as fantastic for us. Giving to those strong, amazing, little guys and seeing their smiling little faces was the best gift we could have ever asked for in return.
We encourage you to learn about EBMRF, get involved, and share your heart and love to all the sweet little guys suffering.

Lilo's Bangin' Bag
Ok. Ok. We all know that Lindsay Lohan is in a bit of a mess (or, maybe a few messes) these days; but we gotta say, she’s one hot mess! No matter what Lindsay is getting herself into, she does it fashionably. What can we say. She’s a trendsetter. She’s got in the bag.
Speaking of, check her out in NYC carrying her Cleobella Neveah Bag.
Like it? Need it? Want it? We thought so…
