Do you own a classic strapless dress? If you don’t, it’s definitely a staple of any wardrobe and I would definitely say it’s a piece that’s  worth investing in.  It’s a timeless silhouette; easy to accessorize and effortless to wear.  There are a zillion different ways that you can style it to create a different look every time you wear the dress.

My favorite strapless dress is from Dries Van Noten. It is made of silk crepe and has a texture that I can wear year-round. The dress drapes loosely on the body so I can wear it with or without a belt, and the navy blue color is just so subtle that I can wear it during the day or out at night.  Here are three different ways that I styled my strapless dress for three different occasions.

Look #1: Romantic date

To create a sexy and elegant look for a romantic date. I paired the dress with sexy simple black pumps. I cinched in the waist and accessorized it with some big bling to make the simple dress stand out for the night.

Wearing: Dries Van Noten dress, YSL pumps, Janis Savitt necklace, Nhã Khanh belt

Look #2: Day time at the office

For a day time look at work I wore the dress with a shirt underneath it, cinched the waist and put on my comfortable shoes.

Wearing: Dries Van Noten dress, Givenchy booties, tiger vintage belt and Vince white tee.

Look #3: Night time out with the girls

To achieve the modern artsy look for girl’s night out.  I paired the dress with a big tulle tulle skirt over and cinched it in with a big belt.

This is something that I thrown up at the very last minute to meet up with our friends for dinner and cocktails. I tried many things but was not happy with the look that I tried to achieve.

I started playing with this piece of nude silk fabrics that I bought for one of my projects. I draped it on my body and I really like how it turned out. It was perfect! I want something drapery, elegant, and has an edge and this piece was perfect for the occasion.

I got tons of compliments, people were asking who made my dress and I told them that all it takes:

*2 yards of nice silk fabrics

*Drape it on your body asymmetrical, and tie a knot on the back

*Secure it with a nice belt.

If you have any questions feel free to ask:-D Have a fabulous day everyone!! XoxoNini

I love bloomers! I think they’re unique and comfortable to wear during the summer. I do understand that bloomers are not for everyone because they accentuate the hip area that lots of women feel conscious about. With that being said, I believe that it doesn’t matter what you wear, it’s all about the proportion, how you carry it, and how you style it.
Here are some tips how to be chic in bloomers:

* The best way to wear bloomer is to keep it minimal.
* Bloomers look great with something more structured, and simple.
* Be sure to tuck them in, throw on some hardcore accessories such as an alligator bag or fabulous booties. That way you can balance out the girliness  of it.

Khanh and I did a mini photo shoot at our studio for our website and press yesterday. Most of them are just candid photos where we were playing with the fabrics and mannequin.

Look at Nhã Khanh, she’s so adorable!

We started draping fabrics on me and it just happen that it turned out to be a style that we both like. I decided to wear it for the shoot. Pretty cool right?

Nhã Khanh is playing dress up. It’s a skirt but you also can wear it as a top.  Super awesome in person.

I’m wearing my new favorite dress from Nha Khanh. I love anything that is made out of laces. I think black laces are mysterious, luxury, elegant, and sensual. I like the shape of this dress which accentuate my body perfectly.

It has a mixture of innocent girl look and darkness angel feels. I love the combination of darkness, romance, and a touch of femininity. This way it balances out the toughness of a confidence
woman and the soft side of her.

Nhã Khanh is not just a dear friend of mine; she’s also my business partner. We’re collaborating to launch Nhã Khanh Ready-To-Wear for Spring 2011.

The collection will be debut this October 20th at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. I’m super excited!  We’re working extremely hard right now to have it ready. I’ll keep you guys posted as things coming along.
