I’ve had to step up work considerably so I’ve been a bit overwhelmed and haven’t updated here in a long, long time. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping my eye out for kawaii things, I always am!
My closet still calls to me but I haven’t even thought about cleaning it out more in months. I haven’t been “adding to” (my Mom always says “Don’t add to; take away.” but I just cannot face all the stuff sitting in boxes in the closet and actually organizing it.
I gave up organizing my Re-ment (definitely a case where I “added to”) and still have 7 boxes of tiny little baggies of Re-ment that need to be put into the photo boxes I purchased at Amazon expressly for this purpose. I was so motivated then! Not so motivated now. That’s what being overwhelmed does to you.
Once I get a teeny, tiny break maybe I will indulge myself with some kawaii-ness. Meanwhile I hope your Valentine’s Day was plesant and super kawaii!
You know I love a sale and what could be better than a sale on Hello Kitty? Right now at sanrio.com they are having up to 50% off! Here are a few things I picked out.
Love this totebag for grocery shopping. Now if only I could remember to actually USE it!
Sweet little mini-baguette purse in pink and green. Very PREPPY combination.
Adorable memo pad with hard to find Hello Kitty dressed as a geisha.
Sweet pink Hello Kitty geisha charm. I go crazy for these, I must have about twenty or more.
Hello Kitty chopsticks with towel wrap. Oh if only I had dishes to match!
Best wishes for 2010. I hope you had a terrific holiday season and have a wonderful New Year. I rang in the New Year the same way i have since I was about five years old – watching Dick Clark! Although I don’t know many of the performers these days (tonight it was Jennifer Lopez and Chris Daughtry in Times Square which I was thrilled to see since I actually KNEW them!)but I still enjoy the festivities. It amazes me how fast they clean up Times Square.
I love to see Dick Clark. It must be a great honor for Ryan Seacrest to co-host the show with him. I adore Ryan Seacrest. I think he is a gracious person. Dick Clark still looks great too and I love to see him kiss his wife at midnight as I have for the last 36 years.
Happy New Year to my family and my kitty Lucy!
Keep it kawaii!
Sigh. Re-ment is not what it used to be. I used to really enjoy all the series they came out with, nearly purchasing every series they made. However this year the series have been a bit naff, as the Brits would say. I do like the Hello Kitty stuff, so far there have been three series of minis but that is nothing compared to the 12 or so Disney minis and furniture that Re-ment has released in 2009.
This was my slowest Re-ment year of all time and since Megahouse is no longer making minis I’m a bit down about collecting right now. For certain if I collected Disney stuff (especially Mickey Mouse) I would be thrilled to no end how Re-ment has tackled that merchandising. How they keep coming up with new Disney series is mind-boggling.
Ahhh the madness of the season is nearly over so it seemed like a good time for me to re-cap some of the kawaii things I got for Christmas.
This was a stocking stuffer for me, a great set of STILA mini lip glazes. These are so sweet and portable and have yummy flavors too. My faves are the pearly and sparkly colors.
This great beauty kit is from POPBeauty and is much more vibrant than it looks in this photo. This is a treasure trove of festive colors ready made for parties and the winter months. You get five eye shadow/liners, two shades of bronzer, two shades of face powder, a multi-hued shimmer palette and eight lip colors, all in a velvet covered box. It is called Cabaret Bouquet and was on sale at ULTA.
Another great make-up kit this one is from Pixi Beauty. I mean it has a little twee fairy on the box! All the colors are shimmery and sweet. You can get this right in Target and it was on sale to boot. You can also get it online at pixibeauty.com.
My sister-in-law was kind enough to get me this adorable Bare Minerals Sweet Obsession mineral powder eye kit. The smaller size jars come in a little foil candy cups. Arrragghhh – cute overload! So yummy I want to eat them!
Since I get cold tootsies in the winter (yes, even in Florida, what can I say, I am a big baby!) I looked for a pair of faux fur lined boots online and came up with these which were sent overnight from endless.com and arrived on my doorstep on the 24th. I’ve barely taken them off since. Except to put on these:
These are called Chastity Sweater Slippers and were $18 at Target. They are completely faux fur lined and delicious on cold toesies.
Hope your Christmas was loaded with kawaii goodies and joyful happiness. Remember to hit all the After Christmas sales too!
I’ve been away from the kawaii a bit so I have lots to catch up on. You’ll be seeing me more regular-like from now on.
Happy Kawaii New Year!
