You Are What You Eat

You are what you eat … So, why not make it stylish and sweet?

Alright, these lollipops may not actually exist in real life (they were used for a still life project, “Lolli-Pop” by photographer, Massimo Gammacurta); but we do believe in the motto above. Hence, the foundation on which A.sweeT. was created. Plus, we like to say, “You are not complete without A.sweeT.”

That said, please excuse us. We must go figure out how we can get our fantabulous A.sweeT. logo to sit in the ranks with the Lolli icons above. We think its a good addition. (Hey, Massimo Are you listening?)

As for you? Head to Massimo’s website and check out his work. It’s pretty sweet.

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…

Amazing.

Stunned. Flattered. Giddy.

THE END.

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.

Sweet Coachella Style

Coachella is only one week away. And although most of the time, we are last minute packers, we know that this is one event at which outfits have been planned well in advance. We don’t blame you. You gotta have your music festival look down to actually feel the music.

Inspired by the “I don’t care but I do have to look good”/seventies/bohemian vibing look, we have pieced together some of our favorites to get you in the musical mood.

Check ‘em out. They will make your heart sing. And, then get shopping!
