Sui Sweet

I'll admit it, I am a sucker for Anna Sui.
I Love everything about her style.
Maybe it's the way I feel when I enter onto her web page...
like I want to sit down & stay a while.
Y'know, try out the furniture & live in her wonderful animated world for a bit!!
Maybe it's the Pucci inspired mannequins which trigger something in my head
that says "Ooooooo you're gonna LOVE every moment of this".
Maybe it's her story. The fact that she is a 100% self made woman who wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Whatever the reasons... the question is clear,
"Where else can you find such whimsical fantasy mixed with vintage goodness?"

LOVE the Anna Sui Vintage inspired Beauty Tote!!
And the spring'08 collection is a journey of brights and vivids
which would leave even the most manicured flower garden feeling a bit rivaled.....







Three cheers for tiny socks & AnkleStraps.

"Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it - but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man. "
Jackie Kennedy

"What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?"
