Top Ramen - Gudetama Edition

Even though I'm fully aware that it's still just regular ramen inside, the Gudetama edition of these Top Ramen packages is SO SO fun! On this trip to the grocery store I found the Chicken and Soy Sauce (Vegetarian) designs available, with the iconic Japanese cartoon character all over it, haha. Putting eggs in ramen is a pretty common thing especially in Japan, so it totally makes sense that they'd do a collaboration like this. I can't wait to see the collection's merchandise when that becomes available too!

Sanrio at World Market

I stopped in World Market on Sunday after seeing some posts on Instagram about more Sanrio items being sold in stores. I was happy to see lots of different items, not just the Hello Kitty items that I had seen previously. There were plenty of "just for fun" items that I saw and liked, but I decided to get some "useful" items this time - Gudetama pens (Frixion pens have erasable ink so they're great for planners!) and Hello Kitty pasta, haha.

If you're a World Market member, there was a coupon to receive this little Hello Kitty beanie plush with any $25+ Sanrio purchase until today. Even though it's really tiny (the tag is almost bigger than the plush haha), it's a nice little bonus to go with my purchases! Be sure to check out the collection online or in stores - there's lots of cute items that would be great for holiday gifts!

Happy Halloween - Sanrio x Tanaka Farms

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope everyone has been enjoying pumpkin patches and candy leading up to today, haha.

While I haven't had a chance to see Tanaka Farms in CA in person, I've seen lots of photos online about their super cute Sanrio collaborations throughout the year. When I saw that they had an online sale, I had to pick up some cute fall items!

The initial order that I received had the wrong tote bag inside, but they were very nice and sent me the correct tote bag really quickly. The enamel pin is perfect for fall/pumpkin season, and the large canvas tote bag is great for weekend shopping and farmers' markets!

UNIQLO Pike & Rose

I am a big fan of UNIQLO's clothes and accessories, so I was very excited to find out a store was opening in the Pike & Rose neighborhood! I went during both the soft opening on August 31st and the grand opening on September 1st to check it out.

The grand opening started off with some Taiko drumming performances and free Kung Fu Tea bubble teas, which were much appreciated while waiting in line to head inside. While it's a relatively small store, it's organized well and there's a good mix of comfy basics and seasonal (currently fall/early Winter) items all available.

For me, the best items at UNIQLO are the basics and lounge pieces - so comfy! I have a lot of the HEATTECH and AIRism shirts, and their lounge pants are great too. They regularly have seasonal items on sale, so it'll be really nice to have one nearby where I can pop in to see what's new and on sale!
