Ha Long bay, Vietnam

Ha Long Bay is in northeastern Vietnam, includes some 1,969 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars in various sizes and shapes, located at Quang Ninh province. It is about 170km, 3 hours by bus east of Ha Noi capital. It’s a tropical sea of islands with 2 seasons: hot and moist summer, dry and cold winter and perhaps the most popular travel destination of Vietnam. Seafood in Ha Long is diversified and fresh with cuttlefish, oysters, prawn, crab, squid…

We were there years ago. It was not easy to get there because of transportation issues, but it’s worth it. I hear the transportation is improving now. We had a 2 day tour, slept overnight on the boat, a Chinese junk. It was awesome. The food on the boat was excellent and fresh, prepared right there for us. The crew was helpful and the landscape was picturesque.
Here are some photos.

ALAIA

I wore this Alaia top sometime last week. It was on sale with a big discount at the store called 4510. Alaia is rarely on sale but this time is different because of the recession, I guess… So, it’s a good chance to collect them. I wore with Givenchy shoes, F21 legging, cuffs and rings.
I love its structure and the detail.

Thank you for your support and have a great day!!!

Please come back to visit this Friday, I’ll have more exciting news!!!;-)

xoxoxo..from Hanh!

    Beautiful pictures – thanks for sharing! I’ve never been to Vietnam. It’s what I imagine a lot of Asia used to look like, before they started building big cities. It’s nice that some countries in Asia still have so much nature and looked untouched.

    Great Alaia top by the way. Alaia has his own outlet in Paris with past season clothes heavily discounted. I’m guessing it’s one of the few places you’ll his stuff cheaper ;-)

    The top and shoes are Amazing <3

  29. Lily on said:

    Good grief! What a spectacular top! Does it have lots of tulle underneath it to make it puff out like that? Or is it just the magical genius of Alaia? I don’t think you can buy Alaia anywhere in Australia :(

  30. Hanh on said:

    Hi Lily,
    There are no tulle underneath. It is just the magical genius of Alaia. I love the way you said that.
