✨💖✨“We do do the dodo.” I love how she connected with her tiles. And a secret door to a fab library! What incredible treasures she has pulled together. Others will condemn what she has here, which brings to mind the poem “Hector the Collector,” by Shel Silverstein. And maybe “Invitation.” Delightful, absolutely delightful. I would love to just sit in her library, a little talk, a little laughter, a lot of reading. A room dedicated to Helena Rubinstein…. But egad! Mirrors all over the bathroom! I’d have to do my business with my eyes closed! Love Anna Sui, and this glimpse into her personal space gives more meaning to her designs.

I've always loved Anna Sui. The first time I went to Hong Kong, I went to this department store there, I was just strolling around and I came across her makeup line stall. I honestly wanted to buy some but I was on a budget so I only tried the testers, hehe... I've already known her brand before but have never actually seen her makeup line in the flesh. I was so in awe of the details. They were mostly black & purple. I love pink but Amethyst is my birthstone so I love purple, too. Then I went to an Anna Sui shop and I could only afford a piece of hand towel, lol! I still have it. Her designs are like a gothic Lilly Pulitzer + Betsey Johnson + Vivienne Westwood.
