English term or phrase: something off a Hello Kitty sticker
Once a local journalist interviewed me for an article on English people living in Buenos Aires. The focus was not on the Anglo Argentine community, long since a part of the social fabric, but on a small new wave of British ex-pats and travellers. Fifteen years after the Falklands War, we were still a novelty. I was described, rather awkwardly, I thought, as "something off a Hello Kitty sticker, able to permit herself the luxury of smoking roll-ups without losing her feminity"

como algo salido de una pegatina de "Hello Kitty"


Explanation:
Cercano a la opción de Kirsten...

También se podría adaptar al público al que vaya (¿España? ¿Argentina?)

... como algo salido de un adhesivo de un dibujito cursi...

... como si me hubieran sacado de una calcomanía de la cursilería en boga...

Bueno, las opciones podrían ser muy variadas, dependiendo del contexto.

Habrá público de habla hispana a quienes "Hello Kitty" no les dirá nada, por lo que un equivalente, una adaptación "ad hoc", sería recomendable...

Saludos.
