Balenciaga Polka Dot Top

I wore this Balenciaga polka dot sheer top before. I styled it with gray sequine jacket and wide leg jeans. Another time, I styled it with leather shorts and Charlotte Olympia red velvet wedges. This time, I styled it with my old Proenza skirt and my new Mcqueen shoes. Underneath the Balenciaga top was NhaKhanh thumb holed mesh top.

The New Power Pairing for Winter

The cold days are here, wearing big chunky cardigans or over-sized sweaters is a fun way to keep us warm and cozy. There are so many ways to pair it; with jeans, leather leggings, shorts skirt, maxi skirt (if you’re tall)…You can throw on a fabulous scarf, gloves, amazing boots, or add a touch of fur…there! You look so cozy and stylish.
And here is my new power pairing for winter: in this outfit, I wanted an exciting, fun, young, sexy look, but chic. So, I paired this sweater with gray leopard printed shorts from Tobi and my old Jill Sander high thigh boots. Of course, this consignment blue fur stole and a Chanel mini bag gave a touch of fanciness. I wore this outfit for my past Sunday casual afternoon date with my man while the kids enjoyed playing at grandma’s house.

Okay! I think this Chanel mini bag is so sexy. More its picture below.
My old Dries van Noten sunglasses.

I’ve had these Jill Sander high thigh boots for many years, every fall/winter, I’m excited to bring them out. I love the structure of the heels and how you can rumple them to be knee length boots (as showed in the last two pictures).

I found this Alexander Wang sweater to be a very nice design. The zipper detail, the pointy sides, and the back design made it COOL.

Thank you everyone for reading!

Modern + Classic Tradition

Before you see these pictures below, please ignore my unpleasant face :) The sun was so strong that I couldn’t relax my eyes and face. I needed sunglasses. Lol!! I had no time to retake. Oh! Well, the important thing here is the outfit to share.
I intended to design this dress to pair with my old MMMargiela leather shorts. I wanted this look to be a mix of modern and classic Vietnamese tradition; yet surely, the look has its own character. It’s unexpected pairing! I really love the way these shoes paired with this outfit; kinda Lady Gaga, and the leather choker reminds me of Hmong people (French gave them the name Montagnards; mountain people) jewelry, a perfect element for this look.
About the dress, when I designed it, I was thinking it should be a versatile one. You can pair it with high waisted wide leg jeans, skinny jeans, leather leggings, trousers, pencil skirt, or even maxi pleated skirt…whatever you pair it with, it still gives you an unexpected asymmetric look and that’s the fun. You also give it a fancy or casual look by styling with different accessories…
A big thanks to NhaKhanh for doing the pattern and sewing to put together this dress!!

Over the shoulders was Celine shearling cropped jacket.

Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk pumps from Solestruck are one of my amazing shoes. Actually, they’re comfy and easy to walk in.

This leather choker is one of the more striking pieces from Sue Gragg’s jewelry Holiday Collection. Her designs are stunning. She is a talented lady and a very sweet friend of mine. I actually wore this outfit to attend her jewelry show last Tuesday. It was an amazing show.
Thank you everyone for reading! Have a happy Sunday and a wonderful week ahead! x0…Hanh.

Chanel Accesories

In this outfit, you will see that I styled it with two different accessories. For the first look, I paired with the Chanel 2.55 black lambskin classic double flap bag which I found at Vintage Martini. Although it is a second hand bag, but it’s new and in flawless condition. I was so lucky to get it for an unbelievably great deal. The previous owner of this bag passed away :( and Ken, the owner of Vintage Martini, got almost all of her wardrobe and broght it to his store. Would you buy something like that, that has a spooky story behind it?

For the second look, I paired the outfit with the Chanel necklace. As you see, I didn’t carry the Chanel bag in this look, I think it’s too much if they pair together. Be careful when you style with a lot of Chanel accessories into one outfit, don’t over do, it could look so tacky.

I love pairing the long leather gloves with a sweater vest or vest jacket. It’s cool!

And here what I wore underneath the MMMargiela tailed sweater vest: Cosabella lace crop top, Wang racerback tank top, J Brand bianca jeans, and gloves from Barneys.

Thank you everyone for reading and have a wonderful week ahead! xo…Hanh.

Blue

A lot of blue in this look. I know. I wanted this intense blue outfit to contrast with this vivid orange Celine bag, creating unexpected color pairing, a striking color-blocked look. I special ordered these trousers in blue from the Nha Khanh line (they’re actually just available in pink or black). What do you think? The blue also nicely enhances my mid-night black hair color which I colored myself with Clairol semi permanent a couple weeks ago. It’s just a little change of hair color tone for a warm look and fun for the winter.
Blue is my obsessing color right now. This brilliant blue shade makes such a big statement and is perfect for attending holiday parties. You will stand out in the crowd. Yet, you look new and different among people who traditionally wear the black or red or even shimmer gold… I wore this outfit to attend the Forty Five Ten boutique’s holiday party last night and got so many nice compliments. I only wish I could have had my nails in shimmer silver or matte white polish.
Styling with Club Monaco turtle neck sweater, fur stole from INA consignment store in Soho, and YsL Rouge Pur 52.

Thank you everyone for reading and have a fabulous weekend! xo…Hanh :)
