Stuff!

Posted on March 23, 2013 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey,

As Im a little out of touch with the current lingo I need to get myself back up to date with the current trends of Japan.

Don’t get me wrong I know about the latest fashion, games and anime. But just maybe have been watching a little bit to much anime?? (If there is such a thing!)

Meaning I’ve hidden myself away from the world pretty much 90% of the time. Kinda been getting my Otaku on… However I shall be doing some anime reviews soon as I have TONS to share and talk about.

Anyway I thought I would just share some photos I’ve taken lately in no
specific order:

 

From my Hello Kitty neon and heart glitter lamp, to Korilakkuma & Rilakkuma plush pillows and just random crap in my draw at work.
Just the essentials you know it!

I look forward to hearing and connecting back with you kawaii lovers!
So please come say hi, come say anything lol…

See you soon,

International Friends!

Posted on January 12, 2013 by fluffyghost| 3 Comments

Hey all!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far…

Since starting Fluffyghost one of my all time favourite things I have enjoyed the most via this website is the connections I have made with people who share the same passion as me for kawaii around the world.

It helps open your eyes to culture, friendship and of course more kawaii that you might not have been able to locate or have known.

I’ve been lucky to share swapping experiences with these lovely ladies and be included in the care package network (as I like to think of it).  You just can’t beat coming home to a super cute parcel when you’ve had a rather crappy day, as it really goes to show that someone on the other side of the world really does give a damn about your well-being… and that feeling just cannot be beaten!

So here is a what I was blessed to receive this year for Christmas from the most awesome ladies ever:

I am truly grateful to have such awesome international friends. Getting to know you all, exchanging parcels and just the kawaii community in general always brightens up my day. 
I hope to one day meet you all in the flesh.

I would just like to add also that there are a few more parcels that should have been included in this post but I just can’t seem to locate the photos on my computer. But you lovely ladies know who you are and how thankful to your friendship I am.

Well thats enough of me being gushy on the internet for one day haha!
Im off to see Les Mis in the cinema.

Take care,

Gloomy Bear UFO Catchers.

Posted on January 4, 2013 by fluffyghost| Leave a comment

Hey hey,

Japan has the most kawaii UFO catchers. (claw/grab machines to me and you!)

I especially can not resist a Gloomy Bear one. I want them all:

Kawaii!!(o^__^o)

I was lucky to be sent some Gloomy bear plush claw accessories from an awesome swap. You can only win them from the UFO catchers apparently so I was thrilled with them. One day though, I shall win my own…In Japan of course!

Take care,

Happy 2013!

Posted on January 2, 2013 by fluffyghost| 2 Comments

Happy 2013 everyone! May you have a very prosperous new year in all your future adventures.

I’ve been thinking about what I would like to do for some of my new year resolutions… One of them being that I would like to get back into being a serious blogger once more. As I have settled into my new life style I believe that I can handle running Fluffyghost with ease. But this time more for pleasure and hobby then a chore.

That means lots of personal posts again, as I have tons of photos just waiting to be upload here! 

So Christmas was fantastic, lots of friends, family and of course kawaii. Heres a sneak peak of a few of my decorations and lovely gifts I was lucky to receive:

San-x, Sanrio, anime, games, Lolita and a traditional Japanese leather school bag make me a very happy bunny indeed! I’ve been eyeing up that bag like a perv for  such a long time too & now it is mine muahahaha! >:D

It was  also great to be able to enjoy all the festive activities on the run up to Christmas too with the people I love. 

Anway hoo’s Happy New Year everyone! Lets welcome it all in together.

Back From The Dead!

Posted on October 6, 2012 by fluffyghost| Leave a comment

Hello all!

This must be the longest record broken for not posting, however after a near fatal brush with zombie syndrome I am back from the dead!

I am very happy to say that whilst away a lot has happened, I landed my dream job and I am now currently working as basically a graphics designer/trainee programmer. So I hope to be able to bring my new skill set over to here at FluffyGhost and well just make this website much more awesome of course!

So be warned I might make some crazy changes along the line as I shall be using FluffyGhost as my training ground. 

I am definitely looking forward to being able to write this website from scratch.

Anyway so Im back just in time for my favourite months too:

(Halloween image via: Black Coffee.)

Autumn I find has so much to offer… From the beautiful scenery, those sunny days where the air is cold and crisp, crunchy leaves, blankets and jumpers, hot drinks tasting a million times better and of course…HALLOWEEN!!!

I really could list all day why I love Autumn so much but I shall save that for another rainy day.

After a very productive week at my new job a well deserved rest is only to be expected. As the famous saying goes;

“Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted.” & I could not agree more!

So my weekend supplies consist of:

Halloween decorations, (Yes they were most necessary! Mr H looked at me funny haha.) sweets, sweets and more sweets! S’mores ingredients and comics!

I’ve wanted to try s’mores for a very long time, you Americans make them look irresistible. I do though have different crackers compared to the square ones, I am however English so you’ll have to forgive me as I just could not for the love of god find t

(Hello Kitty zombie Via: Wanabeanarchist DeviantART.)

So you know what I will be doing, as well as watching ALOT of zombie based movies and series. Its zombie fever at my house currently, if were not playing the new Resident evil 6 were watching something vaguely similar along those lines.

Anyone else caught the Halloween horror bug? Would love to hear from you all.

Take care,

Sanrio Store Heaven!

Posted on September 3, 2012 by fluffyghost| 5 Comments

Hey all!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks…Summer is finally coming to an end and my favourite seasons are approaching. I can not wait!

Anyway last weekend me my partner Mr H & our friend took a trip to Germany for the day. (It really was a long day trip.) Me and my partner had never been on a plane before so it was great to finally lose my plane virginity at the age of 20!

It wasn’t that scary, I would like to blame Hollywood for making me think so…No snakes either.

So we went to a place called Wunderland its the worlds biggest Hornby exhibit what was outstanding! The detail was crazy.

But the reason why I’m posting about this today is that I went to my first ever Sanrio store! Sanrio merchandise is sold pretty much everywhere these days if you keep an eye open for it. I’ve been collecting Hello Kitty for way over a decade now…So finally being able to visit the home of Sanrio was an utter dream come true. (There sadly isn’t any Sanrio stores here in the UK, which is very weird considering Hello Kitty was mean’t to have been born in “London.”)

Don’t get me wrong I was knackered looked a bit of a mess but it was so worth it!

(The sunglasses were still on to hide my tired looking eyes, I had been up since 3 in the morning and running on about 3 hours sleep all day haha. No regrets!)

I almost had a heart attack in the door way I swear! Boy I’ve never been quite at home as I was here. Mr H was a star and took all the in store photos as I was let loose to do my bidding. Muahahah! >:D Was a nice surprise.

So of course you might be wondering what my haul was?

Well wollah:

I think I did quite well considering I couldn’t buy too much or any larger items as we didn’t have a suitcase. Mr H was awesome and carried the Tuxedo Sam bag through customs. It was so cute!!

Lots of goodies for me and of course I had to pick up some gifts for some dear friends. Gotta share the happiness right!

Everything at the front (The pouches and mini notebooks.) were free gifts which was very delightful. I was over the moon to have been given a Jewel Pet pouch I adore Ruby. I did want to buy some Jewel Pet merchandise but was a bit to expensive for my budget. Quite a few people have asked me about the prices and I must say a lot of it was very reasonable. The was of course some extremely expensive stuff amongst everything, but isn’t there everywhere?

The most expensive purchase I made that day was the Tuxedo Sam bag which was only 17.90 Euros so not bad at all considering I was in the best place on earth…EVER!!

So there we have it my first ever trip to a Sanrio Store. I cannot wait to hunt down another!

Take care,

San-X Rilakkuma Glasses Stand.

Posted on August 14, 2012 by fluffyghost| Leave a comment

Good afternoon!

Rilakkuma is certainly no stranger here on FluffyGhost. There just always seems to be an endless wish list of mine when it comes to San-X… I’m a sick women I know but there’s only one cure unfortunately. 

So recently added on to my ultimate desires list:

Rilakkuma glasses stand images via: Straya World.

Totally kawaii and practical, one of my all time favourite combinations.

I only wear glasses when Im working (Well Im mean’t too.) but I would love to have a pair of these for me and my partner Mr H. 

You can buy the Rilakkuma one here and the Korilakkuma one here.

Jeremy Scott-Inspired DIY Winged Sneakers!

Posted on August 13, 2012 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey all!

Time certainly can feel like an illusion sometimes…Can’t believe it’s almost been a month since my last post. Oh dear!

It’s good to announce that I am not dead, and that I shall do my best to post more often.

So to make it up to you awesome people, I have a week stuffed full of kawaii. From projects, must haves and a fantastic interview with Amy from Cakes With Faces.

I’ve just recently found Kawaii D.I.Y and have madly fallen in love with this kawaii  lady’s projects. I love D.I.Y’s but the problem I tend to find is that most can be quite expensive gathering the materials. Unless you’re a craft supplies hoard like moi. (But then again even I tend to be an item sort here and there.) But look no further as cute doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg anymore:

These are seriously adorable! An easy make that you can create with your favourite pumps in less than an hour: Just costing you under a £5 for supplies.

I love projects that I can finish in a day and this is perfect for an instant wardrobe update, or even to make a craft date with a friend of yours.

To see the full D.I.Y just click here.

If anyone takes part in this awesome project then please send your photos to fluffyghost@hotmail.co.uk I would love to see all your finished creations and designs.

Take care and I’ll see you all bright and early tomorrow!

Kuma Crafts!

Posted on July 19, 2012 by fluffyghost| 2 Comments

How I love thee!

I have been quite a big fan of Kuma Crafts for some time now. I can remember when they first started out with a handful of original designs… Which instantly got me hooked of course & I can be quite picky when it comes to kawaii jewellery.

I must admit I haven’t been this impressed with an Etsy store in a long time. Each time I pop by I am always delighted to see new and even cuter designs. My purse is sure paying for it.

Heres my most recent/naughty splurge:

I love the Nyan cone design so much! I am the ultimate sucker for a kawaii cat design, Nyan Nyan Nyanko or Maneki Neko…So when I saw this design I just had to have instantly!

I am dead impressed with the T-shirt, it’s dead comfy, good quality and the necklace is to die for. I adore all the detail and love that has gone into this acrylic pendant. Definitely worth the price for the workmanship gone into it! I was also touched by the kawaii cat phone charm freebie in my order. Dead lovely and really finished up my order to a “T”.

I thought I should share all of my Kuma Crafts necklace collection as its starting to grow to a decent size:

The first ever Kuma Crafts necklace I ordered was the lilac cat pendant. It has lasted the test of time and I still love it to this day. The second necklace was by chance/luck as I had just recently at the time liked the Kuma Crafts Facebook page…Turned out by doing so I had entered into a giveaway I wasn’t aware of and won!!! I was so gobsmacked and overjoyed to had discovered my pure luck! So I got to choose the gold glittery tiger necklace. (Which sadly broke due me being clumsy, only the loop was damaged so I plan on turning it into a brooch soon as its far to kawaii to be wasted.)

I then went crazy and purchased the Sailor Moon necklaces as I grew up watching this as many of us has and been a life long fan since. I really love her take on the designs there just perfect as well as being affordable as a lot of Sailor Moon merchandise is quite expensive…Especially if it is vintage.

I then received the bunny necklace recently as a gift from my awesome kawaii sister Ella Kitty. She had won it in the Super Cute Kawaii giveaway and well I just adore her so much for thinking of me. (I’m currently wearing this one now!)

Which takes us up to date to my Nyan cone order. Hurray!!

I love each and every part of my Kuma Crafts collection, from the necklaces, top & phone charm. I shall be back in the future that for sure is guaranteed.

Here’s what I currently have my eye on:

Image via: Kuma Crafts Etsy.

I need this Maneki Neko T-shirts so badly! Either the one in blue or pink or possibly both! I loved her necklace design of it too, although she does not have any more in her store I shall be keeping my eye open for that if its restocked.

Om Nom Nom Kitty Necklace via: Kuma Crafts Etsy.

I need this cutie pie too! It’s just so damn adorable!

As you can see I am by far a Kuma Crafts Junkie! I really do just love that store so much. I could list all my desires but we would be here all day. So I shall leave this post at that.

Do stop by her store and say hi as Kuma Crafts really is just that awesome!

Take care,

L…………..x
