All That Sparkles

As you all probably know I'm a big fan of anything Kawaii. Kawaii is a Japanese word that literally translates to 'cute'. The most well known example of this is Hello Kitty which is now popular worldwide. Kawaii is a prevalent side of Japanese culture and spans clothes, food, toys, jewellery, hair accessories, computer games, cartoons and personal style. This style has been around for 40 or so years in Japan and is quickly gaining popularity in the west and it's a particular favorite of mine.

So imagine my glee when I stumbled upon this awesome Etsy seller who creates and sells amazing kawaii jewellery and accessories and the prices are low too.

SparklesNGlitter's is a Canadian based shop that luckily for me delivers worldwide. It's a one woman enterprise and I have a long list of 'must haves'. Check out some of my favorites below.
