My Hello Kitty Parcel From Helene

October 11th, 2008

Guess what I got in the mail from Helene? She already told me about the Hello Kitty Heroine trinket she got me…

But when I got a panda Kitty plushie, I was super happy! Kawaii!

She threw in some Hello Kitty and flower hair things (I think they are from H&M?)…

And some keyboard stickers… I’m not sure if I will put them on my MacBook…

I ate this cookie as soon as took this picture and it delicious!

You can never go wrong with the color pink, kimono or anything Japanese and Kitty-chan!

This is the best Halloween card I have ever received!

I was happily surprised to see a pop up when I opened it…

Helene also included this Friends Diary booklet where you have your friends fill out a couple of pages. It was really fun to do and I decorated my page with stickers! My friends and I actually had something very similar to this when I was in Jr. High… Yes, a very long time ago. Filling this out brought back happy memories.

Thank you Helene!

Last Week’s Kitty Mail

October 7th, 2008

I meant to post these over the weekend. I actually have three things I received in the mail last week that I need to post, but I only have photos of two. The first is a letter from my new pen pal Jackie! All the Hello Kitty Junkies I meet are pretty awesome (as you can see by the cute letter she sent me along with the Maki-e design stickers)… And she has beautiful handwriting (just like Lisa)… If anyone is looking for a kittitastic pen pal, check out the discussions dealing with pen pals on the Junkies’ Forum.

The second thing I got last week from the mail man woman was the latest issue of the Strawberry Newsletter, which I ordered through ayamall

Hot Topic and Sidecca… So Kittilicious!

October 7th, 2008

Why, oh why are there too many cute things at these stores!? LL.Kitty wrote a cute blog post titled japanLA will be the death of me… And I was thinking exactly the same thing, except more like Hello Kitty will be the death of us ALL who adore this kawaii Kitty-chan! Not literally, of course! Nobody can ever die of cute overload. o_O

There is no Sanrio shop inside the Burbank Town Center… But that does not mean there are no Hello Kitty things to be found! In fact, there were quite a few things inside the Hot Topic and Sidecca!

Hello Kitty Clothing at Hot Topic

Kuromi is getting pretty popular and Hot Topic carries a lot of new Kuromi gear!

Sidecca is such a fun and trendy store! Sometime, I feel too old to shop in there… But they might be my favorite carriers of Hello Kitty x Loungefly products (very very close tie between Sidecca and Happy Six). And I cannot forget about the variety of Hello Kitty clothing they always have in stock.

Hello Kitty x Loungefly Coin Purse at Sidecca

I always notice the small little special details that Loungefly designs into the merch, like the interior of this coin purse — so cute!

I really like this Mt.Fuji wallet (maybe even love), from the cool tag that is attached… To the colors chosen for this wallet and the appliques and stitching…

To the awesomeness of the print on the inside… I just might have to have this!

Hello Kitty x Loungefly Rain Cloud Wallet

Joy spotted this brown apple wallet for sale near the back of the store…

Brown Hello Kitty x Loungefly Wallet on Sale

From $29 to $19 USD… Not too bad… But I am still unsure about the colors…

I love the inside — the dark denim and cyan color combo is great! I am not a big fan of brown so that’s probably why I am not in love with the outside design.

Sidecca and Hot Topic always have the cute Hello Kitty shirts. I seem to be drawn more to the DOE designs (which I cannot find an official site for). o_O

Hello Kitty Rainbow Tin Lunch Box

I have enough tote bags, but if I could have just one more, it must be the Mt.Fuji one!

Not sure why I was surprised to find some tokidoki x Hello Kitty pouches at Sidecca. I mean, they do carry Hello Kitty and tokidoki clothing, so it seems only natural that the collaboration between the two would be available as well. But this was my first time to see it inside the store… Either that, or I have been missing it all this time, which is pretty unlikely…

Kitty Sightings at Kohl’s and Ross

October 7th, 2008

Kohl’s recently opened up a new store right by my place, which is both a good and a bad thing. After Letti sent me some pics on her phone of a Hello Kitty Butterfly Doll Pillow, I decided to stroll through the store to check out the deals… Spotted some Hello Kitty ornaments, I especially like this one…

I went to Ross in Burbank with Joy over the weekend, which to my surprise, carries more Hello Kitty stuff than the one closest to my house! I saw this Hello Kitty Light Up Dream House for $9.99 USD… I held onto it but decided I did not NEED it! Even if it does light up…
