hello kitty x forever 21: hello kitty forever pt.2

So I was (still) obsessively checking the Forever 21 website to just stare at the Hello Kitty Forever collection (talk about creepy and...loser-ish right?) instead of working on my really important CMA assignment that's due Friday.

I then checked Hello Kitty Junkie's website to see what she wrote about this fashion cuteness. As I was scrolling through her pictures, it was then I realized this awful horrible truth.

CANADA FOREVER21 DOESN'T OFFER THE WHOLE HK FOREVER COLLECTION.

Mr. Bean agrees with this unfairness.
So Canada Forever21 doesn't even stock half of the complete hello kitty forever collection. What's even worse is that most of the items that aren't stocked, are the ones that I actually want!

Who wouldn't want a sweater of Bad Badtz Maru punching someone? It's totally therapeutic since you'll be imagining that he's punching someone you can't personally punch yourself, most probably as you're talking to them.

This geeky chibi Hello Kitty t-shirt is too cute! Luckily, it's also not one of those stupid shortened t-shirts where the bottom of the shirt ends up precariously close to revealing your mid-riff (and it usually does when you stretch or you know...move). I don't know about you guys, but I don't have a super sexy ripped mid-riff nor one that I'm comfortable showing off. The fact that this t-shirt is a proper t-shirt makes me happy.

Back View.

Totally loving this one! It's more pink that my usual tastes but you should always have a bit of variety in your wardrobe right? The little mouse on the side is an adorable touch :)

I actually really like the back.

And of course, they have a pretty simple Hangydon sweater, for your more silly days. How can anyone be sad after seeing this?

These two flip flops are the best! I don't know why but Forever21 seems to be really trying to make a come back with Hangydon, not that I'm complaining, who can resist this cute (and somewhat weird) looking little guy? But the quality of these flip flops look really crappy but for $5, what do you expect? I'd be surprised if they lasted for more than a month. Maybe I'll just buy them to wear at home (and pray that Obi won't develop a liking to chewing them).

Look.at.this. In addition to be the most fabulously kawaii dressed person, you can also have the most fabulously kawaii bed. I love the pillow case but I'm not too crazy about the sheets, it's a really cute design but I don't want it as my sheets.

This knit pillow is awesome. I can totally picture it on my couch but the problem is, Scout, our rabbit is allowed to roam around me and my brother's place (the upstairs of our duplex) and she has a horrible tendency of chewing on pillows (she even chewed Alex's leather jacket). Given the choice, I wouldn't even let her touch my couch because her fur gets all over it and it's a lot of work to vacuum the couch to restore it to its original rabbit-hair-free state. But my mom, who obviously wouldn't have a clue about how annoying it is to have a rabbit roam around the house (she lives downstairs), said that it would be "mean." Maybe I should suggest a compromise with her, Scout can roam the upstairs, but she'll be the one doing the vacuuming.

Forever 21 even makes throwing out your garbage a kawaii experience.

Last but not least is this super chococat beanie hat. I wouldn't get this since I already have a really cute Knitwit animal hat, but I just wanted to post it up and show you.

I calculated it, and if I got all the clothes listed here, plus the two flip flops, it'll set me back by $84.80 plus tax. Not bad, not bad at all.

hello kitty x forever 21 collaboration: hello kitty forever

I got an e-mail yesterday morning about the new Sanrio collection that's available at Forever 21. I wanted to post about it yesterday but I got home late and then felt too lazy to do it.

Sanrio and Forever 21 collaborated on an awesome new collection. I signed up for their newsletter (I admit that this collection is the only reason I bothered to sign up, I wanted the scoop on this collection!) and they gave me an preview of the collection before it was officially available to the "public."

I took screenshots of the official pictures, so that's why some of them have an arrow on either the right or left side of it.

I love love love this top!

This ensemble is perfect. Seriously, chococat PJs? Yes, please! And the hat, so cute!
Ok, so here's the part that's took me forever to do, because I actually screenshoted every single item that they had on their website so that you guys can see it. Because this must cuteness for a reasonable price is too awesome not to share.

I really don't this one, it screams old lady to me. But I don't know, maybe I'm just not up with the times.

I really like this sweater but I have a feeling that this wouldn't look too good on me. For one thing, I'm not nearly as thin as this girl and I think it'd either make me look really frumpy and/or make my boobs look gigantic.

This chococat sweater is adorable! I'm worried that the polka dot sleeves will make my arms look fat though. Gosh, all these dilemmas! Just so you know, I hate waiting in line to try on clothes at Forever 21 because it always takes forever so I usually just do the really lazy thing and take a risk, hoping and praying that it'll fit and look good on me, or just avoid buying from this store altogether.

Love this top too! But these usually make my chest look huge so I'm not sure if I should bother trying it on. The colours are amazing.

This is really cute too but collared shirts make my boobs look gigantic so I avoid them.

This is the top that I really liked from the official pictures, but I don't like the flared bottom, I think it'll make me look frumpy.

Best PJs ever! I don't know if I'll actually wear the top since I have a tendency of getting hot really easily but I'd definitely get the bottoms!

I was really obsessed with seeing the new collection that I actually went to a Forever 21 store today while I was downtown after watching the Santa Claus parade. I bought these pajama pants because a) they're awesome and b) they were only $13. How could I not buy these? It's PJs of Hangyodon, a vintage Sanrio character.

Don't like these leggings at all but the one on the bottom is even worse.

I don't know what they were thinking when they made these leggings. They scream ugly to me. I don't see how they can be flattering on anyone, it makes you look like a messed up checkers board or something.

I bought this scarf too because it was pretty warm and it was only $18. It has the same pattern as the sweater that I like right before the chococat sweater. For some reason, they don't show what the scarf actually looks like on their website, which is dumb since how are people supposed to know what it looks like when it's unraveled. There's a bunch of Sanrio characters on it and it's reversible, it's white and black on the other side.

I find this tote really cute but I probably wouldn't buy it myself.

These three are all towels and again, they don't show what it looks like once they're opened on the website so I guess you'll just have to go with your instincts on whether to purchase it or not.

I love these two luggage tags but they're made really cheap when I saw it in person. But I guess for $5, you can't really complain. The top one is much cuter though.

So here's the whole collection, what are you thoughts on it? Which items do you like best?
