Hello Paciugo
I’m not a sweet-tooth but every now and again Loc takes me out to have some ice cream. Our usual spot is Paciugo. They have fresh ice cream made every morning and my favorite flavor is mocha. A lot of readers have emailed me to ask what kind of exercise I do to keep my body slim and fit. My answer is I don’t do as much as I would like to do. I walk a lot and I really watch what I eat to maintain my weight.
I just added two new pieces to my closet. The first is a fabulous brown vintage silk shrug. I love to add items that have a bit of drape to them to outfits like this because it gives me an elegant movement when I walk and brings a balance to the look. The second item is way more rock-and-roll: vintage Levis 501 ribbed shorts that I bought from Urban Outfitters for $28.00. I think the shorts will be a great addition to my closet. I plan to wear them with anything that is a little more conservative. I can’t wait to try a vintage boyfriend blazer with them or pair them with an over-sized sweater for fall.
Wearing: Lanvin yellow tank with bows, vintage brown silk wrap, vintage Levis 501 short, vintage bag, Marni shoes, Club Monaco lucite cuffs and Alexander McQueen clutch.
Ninitip: Prevent looking like a teenager when you wear your ripped shorts by pairing them with something stylistically opposite. I paired them with something clean and elegant to keep the shorts from making the entire outfit too grungy. Mixing high and low as well as clean and dirty is a fun way to create functional outfits! That way you can rock a chic look with a nice elegant lift to whatever you wear.
Have a nice weekend everyone!!! Nini Nguyen
so casual for you! i love it!
Oh my! I’m in LOVE with your silk shrug! Absolutely GORGEOUS! I’m a huge fan of drape too

You look more and more like a model every post you do! Love the new hair cut and of course your outfit is phenomenal. i thought of you when I saw this post: http://asianmodelsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/eugenia-mandzhieva-magazine-cover-for.html
great outfit ! i love the way you wear this ripped short so flawlessly !
This ice cream look how so delicious !
@Cecilia
You’re sweet!! That model is beautiful
Do you take a spotlight with you every where you go?
These photos are insanely gorgeous!
The draped shrug just looks so luxurious, the outfit wouldn’t be the same without it!
Nini, do I smell an endorsement? Every shot seems perfectly posed to represent this ice cream place. Anyhow, the unlikely pairing of denim shorts, that wrap, and the Marnis is fabulous, and the photography is lovely, as always.
super nice shoes
:X
you look good wearing those YSL platform pumps(boots). I hope you’ll post more photos wearing it. Nice one.
you really look goog in YSL platforms
that wrap adds a touch of luxury to the ripped shorts. really great!
I really like the way these Vintage shorts subtly reveal your (so sparkling) “BOMBnextDoor” side . . . AND the way your silk wrap sounds as a laid-back declination of your usual “day to day GLAMazon-esque” style !!!
ps: Ooooo YES these kind of Shorts potentially combined with a boyfriend Blazer (with a T/top OR “à même la peau”) = KILLer cocktail !!!
Hope You’re Well too Dear.

Wow–what a fabulous look! What’s funny is I was thinking of buying a pair of ripped denim shorts! I saw a pair at F21 but they were one inch TOO short…the ones you’re wearing are great. Will check those out. As you know I’m not usually a ripped denim gal but I decided that my look has become too conservative over the years and I need to try some more younger looks, balanced of course with something more sophisticated. You nailed it on the head here.
nini you should do your tips more often! i love it
i just did the opposite though — i do look like a teenager LOL — =D

oh nini, you chose ice cream spot for photo shoot, lame as usual. why you think people interested in you eating ice cream? and those shorts would look so much better with a bootie and a tank without bows. that cape doesn’t go with the shorts either, a blazer would have been a better option. i think you need some style tip!
Hey Nini! I have to say I love your new haircut! The tank with the bows is so cute too. I have to go check out Urban now, I’ve been looking for some denim shorts like those.
The wrap is divine!was it expensive?we have few vintageshos here and they are very expensive, it doesnt make fun to go shopping!!
Nini I love your silk shrug. It’s so unusual and seems to be very versatile. A great find!
Hi Nini,
The ways you put this outfit together could have been in a magazine. You have a really beautiful smile.
my god, what a an amzing look! I love everything! first of all the shoes and the denim shorts… then, this top, so cute! the bag and the scarf are the better way to complete this outfit with a chic touch! Finally, you look incredibly beautiful!
I’m ipnotized! and speachless too!
Nini,
The drape is an awesome touch to the short. Blazer look is very common. I love how this look is different from others, hence, nini’s style

@angel
Why don’t you open a blog? I’d love to check out your style.
Hi everyone!!!
Thank you for those lovely compliments on the outfit. I hope you all having a wonderful Sunday.

Nini, I love the combination colors of this outfit. The shrug is kinda unexpected to added to this outfit and you look great. You have the natural vision to put things together and that’s a gift.

you’re a smart dresser.
if only the paciugo saw these pics of you, they can hire
you as endorser/print ad model of their ice cream store.
Very well-illustrated tip – you pull the ripped shorts off without losing an ounce of sophistication!

The silk shrug is a beautiful color and I love how it has a liquid quality to it.

i love anything with bows like your lanvin tank! i also like that you balance your outfit a lot… the sweetness of the tank vs the rock-and-roll shorts, the fitted top and sorts vs the drapey and flowy wrap. perfect!
Wowww, you look gorgeous! Love the outfit! And your bangs look great!!

Hi Nini! You sure make ripped denim shorts look like couture pairing it with that silk shrug. Kudos to your photographer for taking great outdoor pictures.

Hi Nini. I enjoy your website and think you’re a very stylish girl. Looooove this outfit!
Perhaps it’s the lighting or the lens but your bf takes the greatest photos! He always makes them look like editorials, especially these ice cream shots! And great shorts and shoes!
