Sugar High
Mar 10, 2009
in Style and Fashion
I am generally not a mushy person; I hate chick
flicks and I’m fascinated with all manner of gun paraphernalia. But when it comes to these tiny replicas of yummy deliciousness, I get all sappy and nostalgic. Some of my favorite items from my list are featured above. The sprinkles charm from WithSugarOnTop's etsy shop is encased in a resin capsule which reminds me of a pill, and is very fitting since sugar can be so addicting! The artistry and skill used to make these itty bitty delectable's is obvious and also part of their charm.
You have to be able to appreciate the whimsy in these creations and not take yourself too seriously while wearing them, because there is something so delightfully absurd about wearing a custom scented peanut butter and jelly sandwich charm (where you can choose between grape or strawberry jelly, with or without a bite taken out!).
There are several candy & junk food inspired lists filled with more then just jewelry (including decor, stationary etc.). Here are three that have caught my eye:
Sarebear's Theme: Pastries: Donut, Cookie, Cake etc.!
Naominh's sweets list.
Chaystarz's too cute for words list.
So tell me: playful, childish or a little bit of both?

don't know why my links aren't working! :( They work when I preview the post, then I publish it and it's all just code - boo!
the same thing happened to me with the links. I love the vial of sprinkles, it kind of reminds me of Angelina Jolie wearing a vial of blood around her neck! lol! There should be a service that puts anything you wanted in a vial for you to wear around your neck.
Yay it worked! I guess you're not supposed to use html code, but instead use the little link button.
Someone recently reminded me it's good to keep some of the "child" in you all your life. I think your way of doing that, Weslee, is well.....yummy.
I'm not a big sweets gal, but these are cute. The parfait necklace is really adorable.
Love these! They do bring on nostalgia for sure. And yes you can't walk around serious while wearing them. If anything they should make you lighten up you know? Enjoy the moment, remember the past, the childhood that these were a part of. Thanks for sharing. Super cute stuff. It's amazing how creative the people who sell their things on Etsy are.
ohh how cute!
I think these are cute, although, if I were to wear one, I'd opt for a ring. Being almost 28 and wearing sprinkles around my neck seems like I'd get lots of, "Oh my that girl is crazy" looks. A ring is a little less noticeable, but would still make me smile every time I saw it. : )
I hear ya. I think I'd be more inclined to wear the lollipop necklace or even the sandwich. lol
Great post! And thanks for pointing us to other sweet lists. I, for one, love all-things sprinkles :) I'm 28 and I would totally wear sprinkles rings or necklaces. BTW, I don't like chick flicks either.
I hate chick flicks!!! :) Sigh, I hope me watching Twilight last night doesn't count. :( There's a story behind it all...it's long though, and it's more about the female lead than the guy. :) GG can tell you all... :)
Its sooo you!
i love junk food and not only like to eat them but love their jewelries and i like that lollipop necklace
I love these....and am always fascinated by almost anything contrasting. It's fun to see some of the stuff Brian K's company makes...it is all BIGGER than life just as these foods are. Thanks weslee!
I love my sprinkles heart necklace! The parfait is really cute too.
so cute!
