Sweet Threads: The Cutest Little Shop In Long Beach

A few months ago, a little treasure was introduced to the streets of Long Beach. Located on the corner of 4th Street and Coronado Ave, what was previously a nail solon has been transformed into an adorable, well-curated, children's clothing and vintage store,

Sweet Threads is simply adorable on the inside, with a teal, as well as black and white color scheme. If you're lucky, you might get a chance to see their matching, teal Volkswagen bus puttering around Long Beach sometime.

At first glance, one might mistake Sweet Threads as a strictly children's vintage clothing store, but all you vintage clothing junkies out there are in for a sweet surprise. This boutique not only targets the littlest consumers of fashion, but also has a lovely selection of vintage wear for ladies.

On the day I stumbled into this tiny store, I was blown away by the quality of the vintage selection, and wanted to take many things home with me. In the end I couldn't resist this mustard yellow 60s style dress with beautiful lace overlay. Did I mention that it was only 27 dollars? Sweet Threads not only has the goods, but also has the deals.

Sweet Threads is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 am to 5:00pm. There is no parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking by the store. For those who live too far away from this store, or simply want to do some shopping not when Sweet Threads is open, they also have an online store which can be found at http://www.shopsweetthreads.com/ .
