Nespresso, fun in San Francisco!

(This post has been updated and is permitted publicly from last year's shoot.) 

Last year, I did a commercial photo shoot for Nespresso. I have never drank that many shots of espresso in one day and I was so hyper the whole time when we were shooting photos inside Nespresso boutique San Francisco. "Overly joyous" is probably the best word to describe me that day. Well, in fact, not only because of the espresso I had from the whole morning, but also the fun charisma inside Nespresso boutique that made me super ecstatic. Everything displayed in the boutique is so neat and chic including colorful and various coffee capsules, and pretty cups, mugs and saucers...etc. If it weren't because I was sort of working, I would have bought me some cute espresso shot glasses home already. Wait, I almost forgot to mention that they also serve full range of dessert and some savories along with fancy coffee drinks in the upper, street level. The store intends to ply their customers with all the tasty treats from local bakery in San Francisco and I definitely can imagine me and my girlfriends enjoy an afternoon tea there in the near future. 

I didn't get any photos in the upper, street level as we were photographing. I will leave it to you to explore then. But I can tell ya that they have espresso bar at street level and allow customers to sit, rest, chat, browse their coffee machines as well as its functionality on IPad...(errrr....what can I say, it is almost a staple of a hip store nowadays.) and I happened to play with it while doing the photo shooting.  Thus, I actually had a good idea of which coffee machine i covet for myself. lol..... 


Now you almost can spot Nespresso boutique around the world. I spotted several while we were traveling in southern France too.  If you ever visit SF, make sure you plan a morning snacks or afternoon tea there if you are in San Francisco.  You won't be disappointed!

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan .

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1.
