In The Black Cape-jacket

When i designed this cape-jacket, I was thinking about Rick owens design with a soft side.  I liked to play with the strongness (leather sleeves) and the softness (chiffon sheer body).  It is a great mix of textures to give a feminine but strong feeling, and a chic look.  This cape-jacket is a great piece to wear during summer without escaping from your leather love. Actually, you could layer it and wear it all year around.

In this look, I styled it with Margiela black body suit, shorts from Tobi website.  Tobi is my new favorite online store for shorts.  They’re often on sale and their shorts are great quality, flattering, and a great deal.

Wearing: cape-jacket designed by me with technical work by NhaKhanh, Margiela body suit, shorts from Tobi site, Miu Miu pumps from past seasons, Sue Gragg cross earrings, random bracelets from Madewell, and blue nail polish from Forever 21.

Paris Street Style

Don’t you love the scenes of fashion in Paris?   The stylish people and the city itself are just so wonderful.  I love to see men dressing so well. The four gentlemen below surely had fun with their style and they knew they looked good.
The old man below has a great style. I love how he put the color combo.

Pink Sweet Pink

Wearing this outfit on past Saturday for a lunch date with my husband to celebrate our 12th anniversary. I intended to wear something pink to express my sweet love and my happiness to my beloved husband. Something pink that reminded us of our song for our first dance, La Vie en Rose.
This pink Zara shorts from my friend came just in time. They were a gift for my birthday a few days ago. It’s nice when your friends know what you like. Yes, she knows I love pink. Sweet!! I styled the shorts with Marni necklace; also a gift from another friend who knows pink is my favorite color, Alexander Wang tailed blouse, Avant Toi scarf, and my last year Cacharel sandals.
The green/yellow neon sunnies was a great color to break the pink of this look. The sunnies were from a street vendor in Barcelona for 3 Euro, I think that was great.

Thank you everyone for reading and comments! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! xo…Hanh :)

Giovanna Battaglia’s Interview

I had a chance to read Collect magazine and spotted an article about ‘Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize.’ The aim of the Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize is helping young designers make that next step to global recognition and long-term success. The judges of this included the diverse perspectives of designers as well as leading fashion editors. There was a series of interviews from the judges in this article -how they assessed the talent according to their own view on style- and what advice would they give to those in search of an opportunity to launch a lifetime career ahead. So, I thought it’d be nice to share it here at Life-in-Travel. It’s helpful fo readers who want to be fashion designers.
In this post, I’d like to share the interview of Giovanna Battaglia.
I’d also like to share the whole interview series. Please, stay tuned for more interviews to come.

Thank you everyone for reading and comments! Have a wonderful day!! xo…Hanh :)

Expressive Shoes

Wearing: Margiela tunic and clutch, Janis by Janis Savitt necklace, shorts from Tobi, Nicholas Kirkwood sandals.
The most striking combinations that are the Nicholas Kirkwood sandals. The colors are black and white, but it’s not so basic. I love the surprising red heels and yellow python platforms. The way he played with the textures and colors of this pair is whimsical, cheerful, yet so spring. Don’t you want to get some crayons and color that rose!
Thank you everyone for reading and your comments! Wishing you a wonderful day!!xo…Hanh :)

Peek into My Bag

You don’t have a chance to see what I carry with me daily in my bag, but you’re about to. I usually prefer to carry a medium size bag rather than a big one because the bigger the bag the more junk I carry. I like to keep only my necessary things in my bag and make it simple. I only prefer a big size bag when it comes to travel for my carry-on. Yes, I’m attached to my mom and dad’s gifts, my husband’s photo (doesn’t show here), my kid’s pictures, our “best friend club” necklaces…things that I love to have with me wherever I go because these things are a part of my life.
Thank you Raya Ramsey from D magazine for this opportunity to share what is in my bag to D magazine’s readers! It is a great chance to inspire me to share this to my readers as well.
