Silvia worked as a graphic designer until she started working on her true passion: illustrating. Her illustrations can certainly be defined as kawaii and I think she has been inspired by designers like Meomi and Tokidoki. Nonetheless Silvia developed her own style and the characters and soft colour tones make the pictures stand out. Bukubuku is really worth a visit!

P.S. Please come back tomorrow, I will have a small giveaway of cute wallets / coin purses

Happy Halloween everyone!
If you’d like a treat, please leave a comment I’ll randomly pick out one or two commenters next week, who’ll receive some free kawaii stationery

It’s almost Hello Kitty’s Birthday, she turns 35 -you wouldn’t say so…- on November 1st. To celebrate this occasion www.artbox.co.uk will give 20% discount on their items tomorrow, just enter “birthday” at checkout. This also means that the Hello Kitty MMORPG has been around for a year. Needless to say that they’re throwing a birthday party over there.

Plugs: Scrumptious Delight for her sweet plush Candy Corns and N+ for their Evilz font.
