Sticker Fashionista - A Year In Fashion Review

Hi everyone ,

Today I have a fashion sticker book to show you that my mum bought me from the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham.

This is the 'Sticker Fashionista. A Year In Fashion," Which retails at £8.95. 

Did you ever have one of those paper doll books where you could colour and cut out the outfits ? I absolutely loved those as a child and still I am interested in fashion and creating outfits today. I coloured them in with my 100 pack of felt tips and spent hours on them. 

The author , Kelly Smith, is an Australian illustrator who has worked for clients such as vogue, Net-A-Porter and H&M. 

What they say; 

"Follow the fashionista through the highlights of a stylish year on the catwalk and in couture at Cannes, on the ski slopes and in a bikini at the beach. From deciding on the dream wedding dress to choosing comfy colourful knits for the cold, summer bargain hunting to frocking up for a party, have fun dressing the models in this beautiful sticker book.

With over 150 reusable stickers, this book is a must for fashion lovers of all ages."

The book features life-like, detailed illustrations of  models through an array of events and seasons . The paper used is of great quality and therefore this book will last. The paper has been chosen wisely so that the stickers can be reused.  

The stickers are arranged into events so that they are easily located and they can be found in the centre of the book. 

Stickers can only be placed onto certain models depending on their stances. 

You can put the stickers onto the event models or there are additional models on the front and back inside covers. 

The stickers were easy to peel off from both the glossy inside covers and also the paper used throughout the book . If you were to use the stickers a multitude of times then they would start to become  tarnished and worn as, after I stuck them a few times, you could tell they were becoming used by the edges curling a little. 

The book mentions designers throughout  which are well known and has rhetorical questions to get you as a reader involved which adds an interesting edge to the book.

The book, to me, has a wide audience as children would love playing with this and so would people who love fashion regardless of age. 

To make this even better I would have left some blank sticker pages and blank outfits so that they could have been coloured in and designed by myself. 

Overall;

I thinks it's a fun book that would look great on a coffee table and is one of those pieces that you can return to again and again whether you have a spare 5 minutes or 20.

My Kawaii Wonderland Halloween Lucky Bag Unboxing

Happy Halloween everyone!

I adore Kawaii items and as soon as I saw Kawaii Wonderland were doing a lucky bag for Halloween, I snapped one up. I love the excitement of Halloween and want to watch Addam's family and Hocus Pocus again. You can't beat a bit of nostalgia. When I was little I used to love lucky bags and as I have grown up I'm still the same and love them. I think it's because you don't know what you're receiving so it's a great surprise and like Christmas or Birthday time and I want to relive that feeling throughout the year too. These lucky bags were £10 each plus postage and packaging and it arrived super quick through the post. The Halloween ones have now sold out but soon Shell is launching some Christmas stocking filler ones which I will be trying to get my hands on too before they sell out.

My items were all inside the pink and white stripy paper bag and held together with the adorable Kawaii Wonderland unicorn logo sticker. When I was opening it up I pulled out one item at a time.

Here are all of the items that I received inside my lucky bag.

These are the Halloween items that I received. These bad boys are going to be keeping my feet warm today. The other choices were Frankenstein socks and variations on colours for the clips and badge. Look at the skeleton hair clips. They are creepy. Think I will wear these in my hair today.

How cute is the little spider badge too! She is adorable. If they looked like this in real life, I would keep one as a pet!

I love Cinnamoroll and here Hello Kitty is dressed up in an outfit and I'm going to put these on my keys. 

Rilakkuma is adorable and I received a coffee and chocolate coaster which I'll start using straight away.

I used to have a pen like this and I loved it. You press the little spring down for the colour that you want and write away.

I received Rilakumma stickers which is great as who doesn't love the bear?

Oooo and I love the cat post it notes to stick in notebooks or for remembering pages in a book/ magazine.

Finally I received these sweeties which I think mine were cola flavoured. You get three in a pack and two taste yummy and the third is sour and made me pull a face. I thought I was doing well but then it hit me. It was the last one I ate too!

Overall- I love the lucky bag. My favourite items are the socks and the little cat post its.

What's in my Kawaii Box for October?

Kawaii Box has got to be my favourite subscription box. It includes a tonne of pink, kawaii, girly goodies which I absolutely love. There's a mixture of stationery, plushies, sweeties and accessories and I love the fact that it's a surprise every month. This is my third box now and I have loved every one of them. My August unboxing is here and September's is here. 

Here are all of the items that were contained in my October box. As you can see there are so many kawaii goodies packed in to the little mailing box.

How adorable is this zip pouch. It features two compartments and will be great to either store some beauty items, stickers, sequins and gems for crafts or stationery pieces.

How adorable are these three characters? The one on the left is a Rilakumma squishee charm, the middle one is my absolute favourite ( a Numuneko mini plush) and the one on the right is a pencil sharpener. 

I love the Hello Kitty pink pen and the cutesie washcloth.

The sweetie bobbles will be used today for putting my hair up for work. I just hope that they don't get tangled up in my curls! This month's candy is this Puccho- grapefruit  which I can't wait to try. Also included is this pink and white panda bear writing set.

The most beautiful stickers ever! Pink and blue pearl (my favourite colours) and cupcake stickers! Just adorable. I need to decorate a jewellery box of some sort with these as they need to be put to use and displayed.

Overall- My favourite items are the Numuneko plush as he is so cute and the cupcake and pearl stickers. I love everything this month as it's a slice of pink heaven in a box.

What's your favourite item?

Accessorize iPhone / iPad button stickers

Hello everyone.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! The sun has been shining here today and that instantly makes me feel good. My weekend was spent mostly relaxing and enjoying M&S food which was scrumptious.

Today I have some Accessorize button stickers to show you. I received these as a gift for my Birthday and was not aware that they did anything like this before I received them. I can no longer find them on Accessorize's website but I just typed iPhone button stickers into Ebay and there's so many to choose from on there.

In this pack there were 6 little button stickers to choose from and they are adorned with butterflies, hearts or flowers. The stickers are raised too so they actually feel like a little button.
I used one for my iPad Mini and one for my iPhone and they were both easy to apply. If you don't apply it correctly first time perfectly on the button they were easy to correct by sliding along.
The buttons have been measured accurately so that they fit perfectly and I like the way that they add a little decorative feature.

Love Laura xoxo
