Balmain Inspiration/ Give-away Gift

Give-away Gift
As you know, Forever 21 is one of my favorite stores. I really love it. They have lots of great stuff like jewelry, shorts, basic tanks, tees and leggings….Yesterday, I bought two necklaces and I think it would be fun to give them away as gifts. I know it’s not much in value, but it’s the thought that counts. Right? I would like you to know that I care for my fellow readers, and I greatly appreciate your time spent visiting my site, your beautiful comments, also your continuing support. Everyone can enter the give-away, you just simply submit a comment and it will randomly pick a winner. The winner will be announced on the next post. This post will open for three days. Have fun and good luck to everyone!!!!….Love you all!!!
I bought 2 sets, one is for me and another is give-way gift.

Balmain Inspiration.

When I saw this top through BeBe’s window display, I said to myself ” I want that top, Balmain knock-off, cool!!”, and here I am. I wore it with my old BCBG skirt and Balmain shoes.

This is from runway. What a wonderful surprise!!! Just now, while I was editing this post, the door bell rang at 8:30 AM. I wondered who rang the bell so so early in the morning. Yes, yes, the FedEx mailman. Yes, yes, the package arrived from Luisaviaroma and Rick Owens store in Paris. Wow, I didn’t expect that they would come this early especially since it’s a package from the RO Paris store. They called me on Wednesday morning and said that they have the stuff that I’m looking for ( the look #4 and # 25 on runway at style.com). Now, it’s Friday morning. Here it is, the jacket and minidress of the look #4 has arrived ( the look #25, they don’t have my size yet). FedEx and these stores rule, they’re fast and have excellent service. That’s the way that everyone should do business.
Haider Ackermann bodysuit from Luisaviaroma.
The RO jacket and minidress look like in this pic. The jacket has two wings in the back. Do you think I can wear Rick Owens jacket for my NY trip coming up in few days? I don’t know if the weather is ready for it yet.
Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, joyful weekend with family and friends!!!! Kisses…Hanh ;-)

ps: Hi everyone, excuse me for a moments. I tried in touch with Mije about her questions about Paris shops, but I have no her email address. Mije, please check out Ann D past post for answers. I hope you have fab time in Paris.

    Mmmh Actually your dark "Balmain-esque" silhouette truly reminds me on Alexander Wang's famous embroidered strech netting Dress' subtle declination, just like an exquisite "GLAMazon-esque" finery which suits you perfectly (the Black § White picture is especially Stunning) . . .
    ps: The asymmetrical back cleavage of your BODYsuit is delightfully full of architectural Sensuality !!!
    Hope you're Well Dear.

    Hello my sweet darling,
    how are you?
    Wow, that was a strong and long and hard cold…. No, it wasn't the flu, it was a cold ;) It could be worse, right. To stay in quarantine isn't funny. I've slept a lot and as you and Nini have told me I've drinked a lot.
    Although a cold is a very tough thing to get through it's also the best way to lose some weight without doing sports ;) Just kidding, hehe… I'm feeling a little bit better and so I've wanted to send you a warm Hello with many, maaaaaaaaaaany, many hugs, darling!
    I hope your lovely family and you are doing fine and that all is well. Must check all the postings I've missed in last week now.
    Will be back to normal life on Monday hopefully.
    Wishing you a sunny and wonderful weekend, please say Hello to your family!
    Feel very hugged, much love always!!! s.

    What a lovely giveaway… especially for someone like me who doesn't live anywhere near a F21 :) I've seen some looks from the Bebe FW09 looks and they seem to have a pretty good collection this time. That Balmain dress is gorgeous! Also congrats on your new purchases…. I adore anything Rick Owens. I'm currently looking at getting his normal/classic length leather jacket. The RO Paris store has great service though… I agree. Look forward to seeing you model the RO looks!

    Oh and I had to think of you yesterday – I was in London and got the same McQueen skull ring you posted about a while ago. Love it! Hope you're having a terrific weekend and enjoy NYC!

    This is such a beautiful post and such a beautiful giveaway!!These F21 necklaces look like bling bling Designer necklaces ;)

    Same to your "Balmain" dress!! I adored it the same day I saw SJP wearing it! Such a beautiful piece. Did you see theoutnet has the dress for unbelievable 6800 EUR… just a moment… no, i saw that these pieces are only available at the German outnet website and not on the US side…

    And seeing you in this dress confirm there is no need to pay the $$$$ price tag!!! ;) )

    Have a beautiful sunday with your family, Hanh!!!
