Hi Everybody!  I am so excited for my first entry on the new Dylan’s Candy Bar blog, I Dream in Candy.  There are so many new candies, products, friends, activities and companies that I love, and I can’t wait to share them with you here.

The most common question I am asked about Dylan’s Candy Bar is “What inspires you?”

Well, I find inspirations in my everyday life all the time. Right now I’m most inspired by my new puppy, Jersey, the fun Spring fashion the gals are wearing in my office, and as always, candy.

To me candy is ART, candy is FASHION, candy is ENTERTAINMENT, candy is a JOY, and candy is a WORLD OF COLOR.

As a matter of fact, it thrills me to see NYC embracing bright candy colors right now, especially since I love combining bold, complementary colors in everything I design and wear.  The combination of sea green and coral (like Alex is wearing below) with pops of turquoise is currently one of my favorite color combinations.

Check out some of our inspirations and things we are drooling over.

Corals & shades of green are a must! Dress and top from Splendid. Jeans from H&M. Gumball necklace crafted by Katie!

Thanks for stopping by! Look forward to seeing you all back here, dreaming in candy with me.
