Keep reading to learn more about Alexander Wang and this great giveaway. Alexander Wang: His Story A former student of Parsons School of Design, Alexander Wang began developing his collection while in his sophomore year. Composed predominately of knits, his first collection gained him instant recognition. The brand soon grew to include fabulously shaped dresses, t-shirts, pants, and accessories. The Alexander Wang philosophy has always been about perfecting the art of everyday dressing, as he believes that true style is defined by how a person dresses on their off days. Through a juxtaposition of luxe fabrics with street style, Alexander Wang has achieved a modern, smart look that is perfect for stylish, comfortable, and sexy day-to-day dressing.

The Art of Dressing Down. The world of fashion has begun to redefine itself, now including t-shirts and jeans in the new uniform of sexy. Alexander Wang, with a passion for the unconventional, has perfected the execution of this new look. Through all of his designs, from Alexander Wang to his T collection, and even Alexander Wang handbags, there is a clear, strong voice that sexy isn’t just for dresses anymore. Yet, even his dresses have a unique air, showing that a new drape or silhouette can easily redefine traditional luxury and conventional styles.

Alexander Wang’s neutral color palette, comfortable and luxurious fabrics, and amazing cuts allow everyone to perfect the day-to-day art of dressing down. Because of the classic, simple quality of his clothing, you can even find great all-year items in the Alexander Wang discount section of Shopbop.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and the wedding wishes. I found my soul mate and it’s wonderful to wake up every morning and see his angel face.  I’m a very lucky girl! My new married life is great!

I wore my CDG outfit to a friend’s wedding last week.  I’m currently in love with transparency dresses. For the Fall season,  I’m going to wear this dress with bloomers, turtle-neck, and my Barneys New York over knee boots. It’s going to be my uniform for Fall.

Wearing: Comme des Garcons dress, F21 mini dress, Christian Louboutin lace up shoes, vintage clutch and necklace

I really love the look of the black lace Christian Dior booties. I think it’s beautiful to wear with a heavy over-sized sweater for Fall. LOVE THAT LOOK!!

Our wedding turned out even more beautifully than we expected. We had about 230 guests in attendance and it was amazing to be able to share our special day with the people who make our lives so special. Thank you so much to our maid of honor, Nha Khanh and all of my bridesmaids for making the magic happen. Without these wonderful ladies I don’t think we could have had such a perfect wedding.  I feel like  there were angles surrounding us throughout the day because everything ran so smoothly. We’re very blessed!

I changed 4 different times. The first three looks were long in white and the last one was in nude lace, which was my dancing dress.  It was a 1950’s dress I bought 3 days before the wedding at Gratitude. Thank goodness for Khanh. She helped me reconstruct the dress. The original dress has 3/4 sleeves and the length was far to long for me. Khanh shaped it for me and removed the sleeves. She’s amazing!!! Not to mention that she did most of the planning and decorations for the wedding. She even did all the bridesmaid bouquets!!!

YEYYYY!! Finally after 10 years

The theme for the wedding was white. In the morning, all my bridesmaids were wearing white aodai ( the Vietnamese traditional gowns ) and they all looked amazing!! The gowns were cut perfectly and everyone looked very fresh and innocent. During the night all of them had on black lace dresses, very glam and sophisticated.

For my hair and make up, I wanted to have the full 1950’s look for night time and I wanted to have the elements of glamour reflect the style of the dress. I have light S shape on the front and red lipstick is just the pop that all of my neutral outfits needed. Nancy Uyen is the make up & hair artist and she’s the best! ( She’s the one that holding the camera on the previous photo )

My 2nd outfit of the night

Remember this portrait that I posted before? and I got a lot of questions about why I share my wedding gowns before my wedding day? In my culture it’s a tradition to have your wedding portraits before the wedding to display at the ceremony.

My maid of honor, Khanh Nguyen also known as Nha Khanh. She was there on my side the entire day and night on my big day.

That’s me in Nha Khanh Black Velvet backless gown

And of course, my wedding can’t go on  without my Ducky. He was on the cake table to guard the big bling So adorable!

Dancing the night away with bestie!

That’s all for now. I’ll keep you guys posted with some more wedding photos. Stay tuned for the 2nd episode. xoxo Nini

Thank you all for the wedding wishes. I’m still recovering from the big night. More photos are coming soon. Stay tuned!! Have a fabulous and I miss you all! xoxo Nini
