Louis Vuitton goes dotty with Yayoi Kusama

This is why Marc Jacobs was the best thing that ever happen to the Louis Vuitton brand.
The king of collaborations Marc Jacobs has brought one of the worlds most influential artists,
one of Japan's most famous Yayoi Kusama to collaborate with this iconic brand.

The collection features her trade mark, polka dot or" infinity net" as she calls it, art.
Yayoi Kusama is not only an amazing talented artist and writer,
she is a strong interesting individual her life, art and achievements are extremely interesting
creative and inspiring.
I love her art the vibrant of color and I just love her fashion style.

I would need to write pages and pages on her to even begin, you really must read more about
this extraordinary woman who has influence people such as Yoko Ono and Andy Warhol.
Who has achieved so much but has been shadowed with
sadness and a long term mental illness during her life.

She has seem to have lived many lives, but only has survived this one, by her art.
" If it not for art, I would of killed myself a long time ago "
Yayoi Kusama.

How adorable is Yayoi Kusama, I just want to keep her!! Hehe.

We could definitely be fashion sisters with our love for color,
polka dots, bright colored wigs and eccentric style.
I haven't been in love with a range or purchased a Louis Vuitton bag since the
Marc Jacobs/Stephen Sprouse Collection.
But this range has made me fall in love all over again!!

Sanrio Vs Street Fighter!!

Pop Culture History has just been made again!!
Two of Pop cultures greatest icons have come together,
Hello Kitty Chun-Li , Sanrio X Street Fighter.
Hello Kitty has been an Icon since she was released in 1974 weighing just as much
as 3 apples!!
I have been a Hello Kitty fan and collector for many many years, and I've seen many
collaborations and this is seriously one of the best.

Chun-Li is the first female playable fighter character in gaming since 1981,
I used to play the arcade game at the local hamburger shop as a kid
it's been my favorite game and gaming character forever!!

This is such a kick arse collaboration not just for women but men too,
all the Sanrio and Street fighter favorites have been brought together.
Badtz maru as Ryu, Kerroppi as Blanka, My Melody as Cammy and
Tuxedo Sam as E Honda.
The range has a bunch of awesome men and women's tees, totes
and Hello Kitty Chun- Li plushes that are only limited to a 1000 and available
at this years SDCC 2012.

This just confirms that Pop culture is bigger then ever gaming collaborating
with the most popular Japanese brand since the 1970s with an estimated worth of
$5 billion dollars!!
Make up collaborating with comics, Comics being brought by massive studios,
Pop Culture conventions bringing in 100 000 of thousands of people.
Its cool to be Geek!!

I'm totally obsessed with Apps its the reason I own and iPhone 4,
My Ipad2 is also full of Apps.
I'm an App addict, I love to buy and try new Apps and I love to share
and review the cutest Apps available with all of you xx
My current App obsessions at the moment are Kitty booth,
Princess cam and Ballon....
Kitty Booth
Is of course extremely Kawaii and features the legend,
Hello Kitty!
But you don't just have to be a Hello kitty fan to use this App,
Yes you can add hello kitty and her friends but you can also add
cute images, face whiskers, bows and teddy ears.
I love this app for putting text on photos very easy, great colours and cute fonts.
I like to combined apps, I enjoy saving pics then loaded the photos into
other Applications.

Princess Cam!
Ok this App seriously is one of the best Deco, Kawaii Apps
I've ever used.
You can make your own stamps,cards,uploaded pics,add fonts,
glitter,stamps,backgrounds,frames,sparkles,coloured filters.....
You name it you can do it!!
If your a Kawaii princess and Japanese Deco queen ( like me ;)
and have to decorate any plain surface, this is the App for you!
I love this app so much that even if I use other Photo apps,
I save my photos and finish with this App.
This is a great way to jazz up your Instagram pics
( probably the most famously used photo App)
You can follow us on Instagram at @jedibarbie.....
Let me know yours so I can follow you back.

Ballon!
The Ballon App can take a normal photo and turn it into your
own personally comic, I love comics and I've found some Amazing comic book Apps
( which I'll do a separate blog on :)
On the Ballon App you can control font,text,size,colour,style,background
and much more!
This App is like having a mini Stan Lee inside your phone or IPad
which is personalizing your photos hehe.

Do you all have any favourite Apps, leave me your comments
and I'll check them out xx

Flower Tiaras Style in full bloom xx

Flower head pieces and tiaras have been around forever.
Made famous by Frida Carlo,Rapunzel to Woodstock.
The flower trend has never faded,it may have changed over the years
but it just keeps on reinventing itself, it's a trend that doesn't die and
lucky most of these pieces are made from fake flowers.
I've never seen tacky fake flowers look so stylish.
I remember in the early 1990s I would go to the $2 stores and buy bunches of fake flowers
I'd stick them in my hair, on clips and headbands.
It's been a while since I've worn flowers in my hair, but my Japanese fashion magazines
have inspired me to bring back the floral and now having more time at home,
I've been able to craft and create again yay!! xx
P.S Check out the easy DIY below.....
All you need is a headband, fake flowers, glue gun, glue sticks
A smile and creativity!!

Cat Cafes!!

Ok so my latest obsession is Cat Cafes.....
I've visited loads of dog parks, dog Cafes, pet restaurants, and made many puppicino's
but I've never visited a place like this.
The next time I visit Tokyo I'm going to go hang out with all the cool kitty's!!
I love this concept, you can pay to hangout and have a playdate with all the cats,
why you drink tea and catch up with friends.
I think this is wonderful Tokyo is such a beautiful busy city and places like
this provide a relaxing space, not to mention animal companionship.
In a country that is limited by space it is hard to have pets so places like this
can bring the love of animals into there lives.
Another great thing about these Cafes are that all of the Cats aren't just designer breeds,
there are everyday cats, mixed breeds and with some cats even being rescued.
The best thing about Cat Cafes is they have strict rules on hygiene,
Cat care and Cat wellbeing.
A healthy Kitty is a happy Kitty xx
