Hello, I'm Julie. =) I'm 22 years old and I live in the Chicagoland area. I'm in love with kawaii, and am also a big fan of reading, crafting and diy, writing, and having good times with my lovely friends. I've also been doing a lot of baking lately, mostly cakes and cupcakes.

beck, the annuals, the smiths, morrissey, the appleseed cast, tom waits, feist, broken social scene, handsome furs, rogue wave, new order, the radio dept, rilo kiley, animal collective

Kawaii characters I love: Kinokoron, Beer Chan, Tiny Cafe, Smile Pocket, and Omusubiya-san.

I adore Cram Cream Sweets, any product with that design. I'm not super crazy about brand names. It doesn't have to be crux, q-lia, or san-x for me to like it, as long as it's not trashy and cheap-looking. I prefer "classy" kawaii items (simple and cute), as opposed to some stuff I've seen lately with lots of neon colors and weird-looking animals. I love love love food or inanimate objects with faces on them, especially donuts, milk, pudding, paints, and sweets. I adore mushrooms as well!

I love to collect stationary (letter sets, stickers, pens, memos), cellphone charms, small plushes, and containers!

My favorite books are really too numerous to name, so I'd have to say my some of my favorite authors are David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, and Irvine Welsh.

Any classy vintage baking paraphernalia (cupcake toppers, especially cute baking cups), paper, writing tools, magazines (nylon, bust), any really good books anyone has to recommend me.
