Just spotted these crazy Hello Kitty x UBIQ Mascot Fatima kicks on Sneaker News (via Dunk) and I think I may need a pair! These totally remind me of the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals Teddy Bear / Panda kicks which I love as you know. Not sure of the release date or price yet but when I know I’ll update this post. Do you like? I’m sure all the Hello Kitty fans would want these! Kinda cute in a weird way haha…

retrogurl — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:03:01 +0000

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, I’m still on “vacation mode” lol, so posts will be sporadic! I know there are lots of Hello Kitty fans that read my blog and I just got this in my email, perhaps you’ll dig it. This new collaboration from Hello Kitty and Pastry might be a good present for those that still didn’t get a gift for their gurl, sister, friend, etc for Christmas or whatever. The shoe is very limited and was actually made for the European market but lovepastry.com got a small quantity just for their fans. Price is $100, all three colorways are currently available at lovepastry.com. Do you like?

Did anyone watch The Muppets movie? I was away when the movie launched so I didn’t get a chance to yet but I definitely will after my nasty cold goes away! Anyway, nOir Jewelry and FLüD Watches has teamed up with Disney to create The Muppets collection and it’s looking cute!

First up the nOir Jewelry for Disney’s The Muppets collection features oversized pearl necklaces, sparkly pink diamante stone bracelets and cocktail rings. Enamel statement necklaces, with their own quirky attributes are available in Animal, Piggy and Kermit, super old school! Prices range from $100-$175 and are available at noirjewelry.com.

Second is the FLüD Watches collab with Disney featuring the Exchange, Re-exchange and Pantone watch models. The collection stay true to the FLüD aesthetics of “simply more” by having a Warhol-esque take on Animal, Miss Piggy and Kermit sharing face time on the dials and with complementary straps. FLüD took their new holiday watch, the Pantone, and gave Kermit a similar treatment with his own piece. Each of The Muppets watches comes with limited edition Muppets branded packaging and laser-engraved casebacks. The watches retail for $60-$95 and are available at fludwatches.com.

Yesterday I received an invite to GAGA’S WORKSHOP at Barneys New York, along with an amazing Gaga snow globe. Creative invite right? Barneys New York worked with Lady Gaga under the creative direction of her stylist Nicola Formichetti to design a range of exclusive items to be sold for a limited time only at GAGA’S WORKSHOP. In honor of this special project, Barneys New York will donate 25% of sales from all items featured in GAGA’S WORKSHOP to the Born This Way Foundation, recently founded and announced by Lady Gaga and her mother.

GAGA’S WORKSHOP will take over the entire 5th floor of the Madison Avenue Men’s store, a whole 5500-square foot worth of space for you to shop! There are eight stations in GAGA’S WORKSHOP, reflecting the product categories available for sale, as well as a number of iconic references to Lady Gaga herself. Stations include: Candy Shop, Toy Shop, Closet (for apparel and accessories), Library (for books, CDs, media, and paper goods), Gallery (for collectibles and specialty items), Jewelry, Boudoir (for candles and cosmetics), and Holiday.

The official opening of Gaga’s Workshop will open to the public at 11:59PM on November 21st through January 2nd at the retailer’s Madison Avenue flagship location with access to the Workshop through the 60th street entrance and on barneys.com.

How cool are the Flame Press On Nails designed and created by Naomi Yasuda (one of Lady Gaga’s nail artists)? So cray! I can’t wait to check out GAGA’S WORKSHOP!
