Rilakkuma 3D sticker sheet - £1.80 These style of 3D stickers are my favourites! They are stronger than most so it makes them very versitle The type I received was Rilakkuma loves Honey
*phew* I told you there was a lot of cute in here! I hope you enjoyed these offerings from Kawaii Wonderland ♥ Be sure to show their Facebook page some love too
One thing that always put me off buying a case from Candies is they looked really big I was worried it would make my phone bulky and uncomfortable But it really is not a problem at all! The case is silicon and light weight Despite the large design it doesn't make my phone feel as though it's too big
I was pleasently surprised and it made me love the case even more ♥
I put it on my 3DS and realised it looked like a gentleman ♥
I was way too impressed and amused haha
So overall a fanatstic expierence and amazing products, I will be back for more! I think they are focusing new designs on the iPhone 5 now which makes me sad But there are still plenty of iPhone 4 cases I have my eye on, below is a tiny wish list
I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I visited London I still have post-London blues ↓↓
I had such an amazing time, coming back to reality sucks!
So here is my slightly late Londond adventures as told through Instagram pictures I took ♪

Interesting art piece in Waterloo Not far from where our hotel was!
We travelled down on Friday and in the evening I was reunited with my girl Bloomzy I guess depening how long you've known me you may not know we are irl friends! We met at Uni and even travelled to Tokyo together ♥
She took me around her posh work place in Hampstead (ooo la la!)
and dessert was of course Green Tea Ice Cream! Yum!
I totally cried when I had to say goodbye to Rhi, I always do She's very much my other half (Hedwig and the Angry Inch style!)
I bought so much this day and received a lot of presents too But thats for a different post hehe ♥ stay tuned!
Our plans for Sunday were to do nothing more than be a tourist on an open top bus! But the cycle event got in the way again and nothing went to plan :(
Today The Dairy launched their latest collection titled "Candy Shop" and whilst falling in love with it via their Facebook page
they asked me a very difficult question...
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
Unless my math fails me, The Dairy sells nearly 400 different phone case designs
They also offer a special Create a case service too for your custom art and photographs
How could I possibly pick just one? I tried to narrow it down and even trying to choose a top 10 was a difficult task But I tried, and here are my picks...
★Horsehead Nebula★ I already have a couple of galaxy prints from The Dairy
But I think the Horsehead Nebula is one of the most recognised galaxy prints in the fashion world Made especially famous by Black Milk with their Purple Galaxy leggings
A fantastically cute and vintage pattern I kind of want a collection of cups and plates with this print too...

★The Great Wave★ Of course I would be drawn to this iconic piece of Japanese art I remember when the iPhone was first released, I saw a Great Wave case
and I was soooo jealous I couldn't find one for my phone (at the time I had a Sidekick 3) Which leaves me wondering... why the hell haven't I bought this yet?!
*phew* that was tough, this list changed so many times
I really am obsessed with phone cases
They're just an amazing and easy way to express yourself
and I think this tiny variety alone proves that very well ♥ There is a phone case out there for everybody!
Prices vary depending on your phones make and model Shipping is free to Australia and only $3 for the rest of the world, awesome! * This post is not sponsored, I just love The Dairy *
It's been a month since my London trip and I missed it so much I booked to go again in November!
I thought now would be the time to show you how I spent my birthday money as well as a few gifts I received ♥

Hello Kitty x Vans I have a "thing" where I don't like things to be regular, so if I'm going to have black Vans Then they need to have ridiculously kawaii bows on them too!
I have the worst luck with shoes ever and ended up buying these out of necessity But no regrets what so ever, they are so frigging cute ♥
Lush goodies A few bath bombs and a new foundation ♪ Every time I go to Lush with Rhi we always convert each other to a new product This time around I converted her to their foundation haha
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
Japan Centre goodies Kare, Haichu, Puddings, March of the Koala and pervert monkey biscuits I don't care if it makes me sound lame, I love the Japan Centre ♥ They really need to get more seating for their food, or relocate and have a seperate eatery!
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
China Town goodies I always forget the name of this place, but it's the tiny shop full of sweets lol
Oh and here is a picture of a stick of Giant Pocky next to my iPhone haha

Presents from Emma♥ I will have to blog about the burger kit soon, can't wait to try it!
We have a long standing love with Caramel Corn hehe
When Snupped contacted me about a collaboration, I was so excited!
Snupped specialise in custom and fashionable cases for to protect your devices
The idea for Snupped began when co-founders Bryan and Darcy
tore down a curtain and transformed it into a laptop case I knew immediately this was a company I could get on board with ♥
I'm pretty sure Snupped can make you a case for any device I was so nervous when I asked for a custom fit for a Nintendo 3DS But they said it was no problem and got to work straight away!
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. One of the best parts about Snupped cases THE DESIGN IS 100% UP TO YOU!
They have plenty of pre-made designs and collaborations with artists you can choose from But if you are a snazzy/creative type, you can have your own designs printed
So naturally I chose my own Junk Food in Space print ♥
You can even customise the fabric inside your case It's not pictured but inside mine is black and white polka dots
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The specific case style I chose was in their Mini category Making it a simple slip case that I thought would be perfect for the 3DS
They also offer larger cases with handles, zips and even in a 'book' style for tablets!
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The 3DS slips into the case with a nice snug fit
Cases for game consoles can be bulky with pockets and storage compartments But if you want to casually carry your 3DS around for say, Street Pass A large case can just get in the way and take up room in your bag This is where slip cases are so much more convenient! ♪
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The Snupped case keeps my 3DS secure I even tried to shake it out of the case and it was no easy task!
So next time you need a case for your Laptop, Macbook, iPhone, 3DS Be sure to check out Snupped for a completely custom and reliable product ♥
and this has inspired a new path of blogging for me "What iWore" is a place all about the cuteness of phone cases ♥
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
It will include pretty cases I have found online and my own custom designs The "What iWore" aspect will come from photo's of cases I am currently using
I'm quite excited and I do hope you will join me Starting a whole new blog is so scary!
I've had both of these for such a long time (like, over a year!) I'm starting to realise how much of a hoarder I really am At least it's cool shit and not like old newspapers or tins of beans But it's still pretty bad! ( ーωー) and it's one of many things about myself I am trying hard to control!
Also, to go a little off topic... I feel like my heart really isn't in blogging so much I have a lot of personal things to work on right now so I just need a break It takes away a lot of pressure knowing you're not obligated to a blog hehe I don't know how long I will be away for but for now you will likely find me at What iWore It's a much simpler blog for me to run right now ~(●´┏ε┓｀●)
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. The rumours are all true, Black Milk shoes are on their way and very soon! They debuted at the 2013 Sharkie Con in Vegas and have been teasing us ever since
The wait is almost over, and the line up has finally been revealed...
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The Charli shoe - $184.95 Available in: Nylon vs Death print, Whoa Dude and the Cross of St Peters
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The Shak shoes - $174.95 Available in:You Make Me Sick print, Cross of St Peters and Amethyst Crystal

The James shoes - $149.95 Available in:You Make Me Sick, Nylon vs Death and the Cross of St Peters
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The Cam shoe - $139.95 Available in:Whoa Dude, Nylon vs Death and Amethyst Crystal
Now, I'm terrible at maths but there's apparently only 100 of each print available and there are at least 500k Sharkies in the world... I do not like those odds I might try snatch up a pair of the Cams in the Amethyst print but I'm not getting my hopes up! The shoes are also rumoured to return next year in different prints too ♥
The collection drops at 9am AEST / 15 November 2013 on SoleStruck ★ BE THERE OR BE SQUARE ★
★ I recently won a giveaway hosted by Oyatsu Cafe★ As a fiend of foreign candy, especially from Japan, it was a dream come true ♥
It also allowed me to try some new sweets that I may not have bought previously I thought I would do a mini-review for you, so you can see what everything is like
Oekaki Gummy Land Kit OK, bad start to a review as I haven't actually tried this yet haha I do know it's a DIY gummy candy kit, but I will review this in more detail in the future ♪
Sonomanma Gum - Grape / Soda I have had these before and I have to say Japan makes some of the
juiciest and most flavourful gum EVER!!! The difference with these is a "Russian Roulette" aspect when you eat them 2 of the gum balls are nice and sweet but 1 is crazily sour! Eat them with some friends and see who gets the sour flavour ♪
Otona no amasa Kit Kat - Passion Fruit The Otonoa no amasa is an "adult" range of Kit Kat in Japan with more sophisticated flavours I wasn't sure whether or not I would like these but they are actually really nice I was sent a box of 3 minis and damn, I totally want more haha ♥
Price-wise Oyatsu Cafe are great value when it comes to Kit Kat's! This box of 3 minis costs under £2 and a bag of 12 minis is under £5 In London, imported Japanese Kit Kat's are over £5 for 3 minis and £15 for a bag of 12 Ouch right? Even worse, I only know this because last weekend I bought 3 mini Green Tea Kit Kat's lol I will definitely be going to Oyatsu for my future Kit Kat needs
Also, a random fact - I visited Japan in 2009 and bought Ramune (Lemonade) Kit Kat's! They were bright blue and actually really nice haha
This tin of sweets is a very old-fashioned Japanese candy They have been in production since the 1800's! If you've seen the Ghibli film "Grave of the Fireflies" these may look familiar But if you haven't seen the film, do not watch it unless you are prepared to cry!!
These are typical hard candy sweets with a super juicy fruit flavour, you can't go wrong ♥
This was something I wasn't sure if I would enjoy, when it comes to these things
I usually choose Pocky and have a sweet flavoured snack So having something be savoury was very different for me! As far as the salad flavour goes, I suppose they taste like a salad dressing? Kind of cheesy!
They are something I would like to try in other flavours before I try these again (if that makes sense? haha)
Ramune whistle - Cola These are very yummy and fun too as you can whistle with them! They are super sweet with a nice cola flavour too, there's not much else to say I would say if you ever place an order with Oyatsu be sure to add these to your basket The yellow box also contains a bonus prize toy, though it wasn't so exciting haha I got a little red plastic kangaroo...
Ramune Fizzy Candy I was a little scared to try these as I'd had some fizzy candies before that were super sour But thankfully these were so much milder and really enjoyable If you like the Ramune flavour and can't get hold of the drink, this is a yummy substitute!
and that's all folks ♪ Thank you so much to Oyatsu Cafe for hosting the giveaway I've really enjoyed trying out some new sweets and also exploring their website Their prices are so fair and almost half of what I'd expect to pay compared to other stores It really tempts me into ordering as you can get so much more for your money, nom nom
I also want to check out their subscription box Kawaii Monthly♥ Who doesn't want a monthly dose of kawaii goodies and Japanese noms?!
•._.••´¯``•.¸¸.•` 2 KAWAII 4 U `•.¸¸.•´´¯`••._.• Custom iPhone case, Ghostie Hairslides and Gold/Silver Chain
It's no secret that I have a special place in my heart for all things kawaii and iPhone cases
So when I saw the custom case Bloomzy had commissioned from Roxie Sweetheart It was love at first sight! ♥
I browsed Roxie's site for inspiration of past cases and her amazing charms I saw a beautiful poodle and then everything begun The ends result?
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
I call it Kyary Pamyu Poodle ♥
I had total faith in Roxie to make the case as kawaii as possible and I was not disappointed! The charms are all high quality on a lovely lilac case, I would recommend her work to everyone I'm now looking at my 3DS and thinking it could use a pretty case too... ヾ(｡´┏з┓`)ﾉ
You can see her pre-made phone cases here but feel free to contact her for custom work
Be sure to follow Roxie Sweetheart on Facebook too once she hits 3,000 fans there will be a huge giveaway
and save 15% on orders over £30 with the code "ROXIELOVE15"
I am so nervous about posting this but here goes...
I kept trying to make a huge blog post about this but I just kept derping and feeling unorganised, plus I am full of cold right now so I am pretty sure I'm not making any sense but I tried to cut it down to just the important points
The long story short is that popular blog sponsor SheInside reached out to me earlier this year and offered me products to review, I felt really flattered and accepted the offer but once I made my post SheInside told me it wasn't good enough and that my weight was an issue so I needed to check my measurements compared to their website in future.
What little confidence I had left in me was slapped out and I've been left pretty upset by this, I've barely posted even a selfie since I received those comments from them because I was left feeling so down about my appearance
They still continued to email me and decided it was better to "demote" my partnership with them due to my looks and instead of regular reviews they wanted me to join their affiliate programme and simply promote their store. Why on earth would I promote a store I felt bullied by?!
When I recently had the guts to respond to them about why I wouldn't associate with them in future I didn't get an apology for what they had said and how they had treated me, but at least I'm off their mailing list (wow. so result. very win)
Writing this has left me terrified at the backlash I might receive :(
I really hope I'm the only blogger they have treat this badly as I still feel super lousy about all and I wouldn't wish this crap on my worst enemy.
This isn't a cry for compliments either, it's a big "GO SUCK A DICK" to SheInside for their treatment and body shaming of a blogger
I was going to post this next week but I'm bringing it forward You can form your own opinions of me and the recent drama But I know the truth and I did my best to uphold and defend that
You might have been able to tell from recent posts (or maybe even the lack of them)
that my heart is just not in blogging anymore Recent dramas aside I've just not enjoyed it for some time now
and even though I've tried I just can't get back into it
So this is goodbye! Thank you to everyone who has stopped by here, followed, commented
and to all the stores I have worked with too
I've made some amazing friends and I hope they will continue to put up with me elsewhere I'm likely to be hanging around these parts Instagram // Tumblr // Twitter
If you like seeing pictures of things I waste my money on
So it only took me a couple of months to miss my blog I tried moving to Wordpress and ended up hating it, you have to pay for everything You want to make your side bar aligned central? $30 plz. NOPE.
So, I'm back here and I won't like, I am scared I don't expect to be welcomed back with open arms so let's just start fresh
2014 will hopefully be a much better year I really want to get back to my old self and be happy
The culture of blogging can be quite baffling for me I don’t think I have a “category” and honestly, that doesn’t matter to me So long as I have somewhere to express myself and show some gets Then all is good ♥
Blogging isn't going to be such a serious thing for me anymore
2014 is the year I embrace my inner geek and otaku No more hiding what I really love or who I really am!!
My name is Sami, and I like stupid Japanese games and with that, here are some Japanese games and a Japanese 3DS console I bought…
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
I got a light pink LL system and 3 games Animal Crossing, Attack on Titan and Taiko no Tatsujin
But why do you need a Japanese console?! Because the 3DS is region locked, booooo So if I want to play Japanese games, I need a Japanese console
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
Top: UK console // Bottom: JP console
The bright pink console is exclusive to the UK (●･ω･●) I was hoping to get a JP exclusive console but none really stood out to me Or they were mostly dark colours/black, I prefer lighter consoles
I bought everything from Play Asia and the shipping was super quick But I did get a hefty £60+ customs fee, ouch! If you play a 3DS and want to add me let me know! You can find my codes and what games I play here♪
Recently my good friend Bloomzy upgraded her iPhone and she ever so kindly sent me her Roxie Sweetheart deco phone case ♥
I can't thank her enough for her generosity ♥ Do I have the best friends ever or what? Everytime I use this case I will be thinking of all the good times we have shared
I’m trying to think of another word to make from the letter stickers so I can use them on my 3DS But so far all I can think of is “fart” and now I can’t see anything else haha
I thought I would take this opportunity to share a beautiful piece of jewelry I can't for the life in me remember how I came across StudioKahn, but I'm glad I did

What seems like a pretty heart necklace is so much more As you can see from the box behind, you must "Break a heart to make it whole"
Your necklace does not arrive in it's final form
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
The two sides of the heart are originally joined on opposite sides You must break apart the pottery to reveal the chain
and then your heart is formed and secured with concealed magnets
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
I am just head over heels in love with the design on this product It's simply beautiful and I love the subtlety of it ♥
You can buy these necklaces and other StudioKahn designs on Etsy
