Raphaël Personnaz is so mesmerizing as the Duke d'Anjou in La Princesse de Montpensier (2010). He made the Duke d'Anjou appealing for once! I normally don't like male earrings or guy-liner, but Personnaz's portrayal of sixteenth-century metrosexual finesse and nonchalance had me bewitched.

California Move-In Part 1

When my sister came to visit me after I had moved to Berkeley, we decided to decorate my tiny room with pastel colors to create a light and airy mood. We tie-dyed crocheted doilies that I bought at my local dollar store to adorn the walls a la Free People. Then we bought packs of white hangers (also from the dollar store) and entwined them with polka dot fabric, adding bows at the center with fabric glue to spruce them up.

Kitchen Magnets

My sister Jennifer made me really cute mini Polaroid magnets for my fridge. Now whenever I see them, I will think of my family.

Oh Deer!

The Cube

When my sister visited me in California, we spent an entire day in San Francisco's Japantown. Not only did we get to go inside Daiso (for the first time ever!) and stock up on all sorts of goodies, but we also indulged ourselves with yummy Japanese style crepes stuffed with fruit, whipped cream, and ice cream. After much anticipation, we finally found a kawaii stationery shop. It was a bit disorienting and overwhelming being surrounded on all sides by such cuteness. I was hyperventilating at one point. We also had way too much fun at Pika Pika as can be seen by how much time we spent editing our sticker pictures~<3. Best part about the photo booth, The Cube? It enlarged our eyes! We were in for such a surprise! It's pretty hilarious.
