A new Hello Kitty discovery.  Upon browsing the internet I came across Blue Sky Clayworks.  Blue Sky Clayworks makes handmade quality ceramic pieces for the past 20 years.  The Ontario California based company is well-known for their outstanding craftsmanship: from tea pots, cookie jars and etc. They also have their Hello Kitty Collection that are all super cute.  Here are some of their beautiful Hello Kitty items.  * Figurines source: Blue Sky Clayworks source: Blue Sky Clayworks source: Blue Sky Clayworks *** Teapot source: Blue Sky Clayworks *** Cookie jars source: Blue Sky Clayworks source: Blue Sky Clayworks *** Tealight holder source: Blue Sky Clayworks *** Salt and Pepper Shakers source: Blue Sky Clayworks I feel bad that I was not able to buy any of these items when I went to California last May.  Aside from their website you these items are also available at TJ Maxx. xo, Chiq♥

Another Hello Kitty Collaboration Alert!  I have waited for this for so long... and now it's happening.  To celebrate 50th Anniversary of Hello Kitty , we see collaborations left and right.  The most anticipated one is with Starbucks , well for me it is..

Intentionally far from traditional aesthetic imagery, the brand conveys the essence of an emancipated and conscious woman. Miu Miu’s strength fluctuates between naïf spirit and iridescent subversion and it illustrates the most rebellious and seductive core of contemporary femininity." My M...
