The new Lip Stick from Anna Sui’s Spring 2013 “Drama Queen” collection is featured in January 2013 edition of BLENDA magazine as the Editor’s Choice! Thanks to Galism for pointing it out to me!
Last page I will post here from the Fall 2012 Anna Sui Fashion feature in Japanese magazine Sweet, September issue.
brad-tOne of my favourite times in the year is when kimonos make their appearance. Anna Sui’s hyper-feminine and OTT kimono’s for 2012 here are featured in Japanese magazine Sweet’s July edition, along with a feature on the new Secret Wish series’ captivating fragrance Fairy Dance!
Anna Sui Spring 2012 feature in Japanese Fashion Magazine “Fudge”, june edition! Aren’t these wonderful colored poppies perfect to cheer us up on rainy days? ♥
Anna Sui Spring 2012 Collection e-MOOK preview and mini-review!
(As much as someone who can’t read Japanese can review a Japanese publications, haha)This year, Anna Sui’s e-Mook is loaded will cool stuff. Look for yourself in the table of contents!
While I can’t read them yet I think all Anna Sui e-Mooks are worth getting. They are filled with amazing photoshoots and feature Anna’s alternate lines (Dolly Girl, Anna Sui Mini and her Japanese licensed goods) which are otherwise quite hard to reach and Spring 2012’s is no exception. What I particularly love about it is the “Anna Sui Collection Archive” with two pictures of every single collection Anna has done and an English keyword to sum them up (and Japanese text under.) On top of that, it comes with an iPad case (which I’ll use to carry my books) and a makeup pouch! Here’s a few pictures for you:
Typical Anna Sui style!
Just behind the black makeup pouch is the screen protector for the iPad. It’s useful because you can put cards, pens and whatnot in the fishnet pocket!
Yes, Anna Sui is fashion is “loud”, but it also meticulous about detail. Gotta love it!
So yes, if you get a chance to grab the Spring 2012 e-Mook, by all means jump on it! Especially considering how hard it is now to find a copy. It went out of print extremely fast and after printing 100, 000 extra copies, it’s already on its way to be out of print again. But there are a few left over at Amazon.co.jp!
P.S.: You see that makeup look on the fourth picture? That’s what I’m going to post a tutorial from with the Beach 2012 Collection Eye & Lip Color Palette!! Stay tuned ;)
A must for Japanese magazines and mooks collectors.

Moreru!! JELLY is a beauty mook put out by JELLY magazine. I really liked the first volume so I decided to buy and scan (minus the ads) this latest volume released back in June. I think fans of more adult gal styles will find this both an interesting and helpful read!
Simply click the above image or source link to download and don’t forget to show support for original Japanese publications by purchasing copies at your local Japanese book store or online here. Enjoy!

Rewind! Former Happie nuts models Hoshiaya and Kei (now going by the name Lie) from the November 2007 issue, scanned by me from my magazine stash. It’s interesting to see how trends have changed—or not—in the past couple years.

Finally! The first piece of the Spring 2011 ad campaign. What do you think of it? To be honest, I don’t really like Hanne Gaby Odiele as an Anna Sui model and I wish Kristina Romanova was making a different face, but I really love the setting and, of course, the clothes. <3 Looking forward to see the un-split version of this ad.
Thanks to Galism for pointing out to me that the latest Vivi magazine issue had this.
