Meow! Hello Kitty for Forever 21

How adorable are these photos of Kendall and Kylie Jenner? The sisters smized for the cameras while modeling the new Hello Kitty for Forever21 collection! Leopard print, short shorts and cozy sweaters featuring our favorite feline…can you handles the cuteness?

Hello Kitty Cuteness

Did you know Forever 21 just rolled out this adorable line of Hello Kitty gear? I've been a lifelong HK fan (discreetly), so I'm pretty pumped about this collection. As we know, not all HK paraphernalia is created the same, but from the looks of this line, they did a pretty fabulous job! I want to scoop up some tanks for spontaneous summer outings and sunny beach days ASAP.

Bling, Bling.

I stopped into Swarovski's West Coast showroom last week to preview their fabulous fall collection, and I have to say, I'm eager as ever for it to come out now! Much of the collection was dramatic and vibrant--rich jewel tones sparkled brightly and there seemed to be a strong Black Swan motif throughout. I love Swarovski through and through, but my favorite piece of the entire preview was a ridiculously stunning ring that was organic in shape, but dripping with glamour. For me, it's a must.

Also noteworthy? The launch of the Hello Kitty collection--which screams cute! The bedazzled I.D. case is quite possibly the most adorable thing I've laid eyes on in awhile.
Meow.

Hello Kitty Castle, Of Course.

Now open in Shanghai, y'all.

Hello, Kitty!

If you love MAC make-up, and you love Hello Kitty, you should obviously hightail it over to a MAC counter ASAP to get your hands on this super cute limited-edition collection.

MAC always has fun collaborations with fashion-forward designers and industry taste makers, but I usually dislike the actual products or colors in these promotional collections, albeit it usually being a great concept.

This time around, I resisted the Hello Kitty/MAC madness for quite some time (a week? maybe two?) before caving at the Robertson store this afternoon.

Much to my pleasant surprise, I found several of the Hello Kitty products to be impressively perfect! Not only were the colors ultra-flattering on me, but the packaging was adorable. Who could resist glitter-flecked compacts? That's what I thought.




Two lip glosses and one blush later, I'm officially addicted to this collection.

Wait. Seriously?

Did you know Taiwan has a Hello Kitty HOSPITAL?



Yes, it's true. The 30-bed Hau Sheng Hospital in Yuanlin in central Taiwan claims to be the only institution of its kind authorized by Sanrio to use its likeness.
Newborns get decked out in Hello Kitty cuteness, including pink or blue receiving blankets, nurses dressed in pink uniforms and cheerful room decor.

The lobby has a Hello Kitty statue to greet patients, and costumed Hello Kitty characters visit patients twice a year. Oh, and did I mention that birth certificates even have Hello Kitty's face plastered on them?

I'm all for HK's obvious cute quotient, but does this seem a LITTLE bit ridiculous to anyone else?
