Summer is finally here! And that means sun and sea (or pool, for those who stay in the city). So if you are thinking of renovating your beach wardrobe with a new swimsuit and you are looking for something kawaii, we suggest you take a look at the new beachwear collection by Pusheen, the most famous cat on the web. It’s so cute that you’ll want to go to the beach even if you one of those, like myself, who prefer to stay as far away as possible from summer sun and sand!

Things we like: the new “lucky” collection by Mr. Wonderful
It is no secret that we like the lovely
Kawaii at the Movies: Aladdin
Back in 1992, we still were children when we left the movie theatre with heart-eyes after watching Aladdin for the first time. Almost 30 years have passed (we feel old just writing it) and in this period we have seen the animated movie so many times that we know every scene by heart… and we are certain that we are not alone! Now Disney brings us back to Agrabah, this time with protagonists in the flesh: are Arabian nights still as magical as they once were?
Things we like: the new “cosmic” Furla x Hello Kitty collection
Those of you who have a good memory will probably remember the adorable Furla designer mini-bags dedicated to our dear Hello Kitty. Almost a year later, the collaboration between the Italian brand and Sanrio is renewed with a second collection even more kawaii than the first, which sees My Melody as an exceptional guest star. Fasten your seat belts (and handbags)!
Watched for you: Rilakkuma and Kaoru, the San-x series on Netflix
After a long wait (we announced it to you at the end of October 2017), Rilakkuma TV series is available on Netflix since April 19th! The lazy bear created by Aki Kondo and San-x’s leading character is the protagonist, together with his inseparable friends, of Rilakkuma and Kaoru, a series of 13 episodes that answers some burning questions: how big is Rilakkuma? how is his voice? is he really a bear dressed like a bear? We binge-watched it last weekend! Find out if we liked it!
Kawaii books: Giappomania
A few weeks ago, during a bookstore tour, our attention was drawn to a very colourful book with an unmistakable title: Giappomania (in English it’s something like Japanmania). It is written by Marco Reggiani, with the illustrations of Sabrina Ferrero, and it is a little jewel that we had to add to our library of kawaii books. If you don’t already know it, we show you the book more closely.
Coming soon: a Tsum Tsum game for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch has been on our future shopping list for a while. Precisely, since the new chapter of Animal Crossing was announced for the famous hybrid console. We have not yet made the big purchase, but now we have one more reason to browse through the sales of the videogame department. In fact, one of our favourite smartphone games will soon arrive on Switch: Tsum Tsum!
Things we like: the Sanrio characters dressed like kittens
Do you prefer dogs or cats? We undoubtedly prefer the last ones and, for this reason, we could only adore the new Sanrio collection that “transforms” some of the brand’s most popular characters into cute and funny little cats. Let’s find out together!
A bit of nostalgia: Polly Pocket accessories
If you were born in the Eighties, it is very likely that you have spent the next decade asking mom and dad (or who for them) to play with Polly Pocket, the legendary miniature dolls that live in pocket-sized caskets. This year, Polly Pocket celebrates its 30th anniversary with a collection of accessories available exclusively at Hot Topic stores.
Kawaii at the Movies: Ralph Breaks the Internet
Let’s start the year in the best way with a new animated film, one of those we like! In fact, since January 1st, Ralph Breaks the Internet is in all Italian theatres. The new Disney movie takes us back to the crazy world of video games and sends us, with its protagonists, on the internet. How will Ralph and Vanellope cope with social networks, algorithms and search engines?
