Spring has been incredible so far here in California. The weather has been warm and there’s been a breeze, flowers are blooming everywhere, and everyone is starting to get out again after being in lock down for so long. Gary and I headed out to shoot the new Hello Kitty collection for Erstwilder and I have to say I have loved Hello Kitty since I was a little girl. I remember going to the mall with my mom and sister and it was always such a special treat to stop into the Hello Kitty Sanrio store and just marvel at all the pretty pink Hello Kitty goodies!! We’d usually leave with some fancy Hello Kitty lip gloss, pencils decorated with Hello Kitty and her friends, and scented erasers that smelled like candy. Those were good times

The new Erstwilder x Hello Kitty collection is absolutely adorable. I paired my favorite pieces with my bright yellow dress from Collectif Clothing as I thought it all matched so nicely and is very cheerful. The wisteria flowers are in full bloom this time of year and Gary was so sweet to take my photos amongst them and all the bees!! The bees shared the flowers with us and I wish that scents could come over my computer because the smell of these sweet wisteria were magnificent. I’m wearing the adorable Hello Kitty Take to the Sky Necklace and it has her sitting in a bright yellow airplane flying with the fluffy clouds. Necklace is hand-assembled and features bubble resin, is adjustable and that is something I absolutely love and appreciate that Erstwilder have so much attention to detail. 

We also came upon some perfectly yellow wildflowers that match my dress!!

How fun is my Hello Kitty Balloon Heart Brooch with her wearing bright colors and flying a red heart. These designs made from bubble resin really are sturdy and give so much dimension to these pieces. All Erstwilder pieces are made in Melbourne, Australia. I just love wearing fun pieces of Pinup, vintage, and retro inspired jewelry and accessories!!

And here is the iconic Hello Kitty Brooch that is iconic and her hand-painted details really bring her to life and she is exactly the way I remember her from when I was a little girl. 

Hope you all are enjoying Spring where you are!!
