The Givenchy Wide Leg Pant

July 30th, 2009 Nini 69 comments

I can’t believe summer is almost over! I’m enjoying every minute while it lasts. Although I will miss the warm weather, I might not miss the heat! I’m ready for fall to be here and to wear cozy heavy sweater dresses with boots. A lot of stores have already gotten their shipments for pre-fall. Usually in a collection of pre-fall merchandise you’ll find a lot of things that are wearable immediately and that can also transition into fall.

I don’t buy much jewelry. I had my eyes on this Fallon necklace for a long time and finally bought it on sale at Barneys New York. This necklace goes with everything and makes everything look better. I’m thinking about wearing it on my wedding day :)

Wearing: Givenchy pant from fall 08′, Forever 21 white tank, vintage clutch, Fallon necklace and YSL tribute.

NiniTip: This Givenchy wide leg pant is such a statement piece by itself that I don’t need to mess with it too much. That’s why I paired it with a simple white tank and pop it with a bright color lipstick. This pant also look great with any fitted leather jacket over for fall.  When you wear something that has a lot of volume on the bottom always wear something fitted on top to balance out the look.

I have my eyes on this Acne plastic legging. I think it’s going to look so cool to wear with a heavy sweater but I’m not sure if the leggings are comfortable or not.

Here is a picture of the terrariums that I made for Loc. He placed them around the kitchen window.

Chanel – A Deal Of A Life Time

July 28th, 2009 Nini 67 comments

Hi everyone- I hope you all doing well.  I went to Neiman Marcus Last Call not too long ago and found this brown Chanel tulle dress.  The original price was $7,535 and I got it for $9.99. $9.99? yup!  This dress was on the clearance rack for $9.99 because it has a major damaged to it.  The dress was ripped everywhere when I picked it up.  The zipper was not fully attached to the dress from people trying it on so many times.   I couldn’t let this pass because I know that I can easily hand sew it back on.  It won’t be perfect like the original, but it’s definitely close :-)

This Fallon shower crystal collar is the new addition to the accessories family. It has clusters rainbow of crystals with a touch of bronze antique collar.

Wearing: Skirt from Twelve by Twelve bought a long time ago, AA mesh long sleeve dress, Dolce & Gabbana jacket, F21 hoops earrings, and YSL tribute pumps.

White Elephant:

Loc took a day off to go furniture shopping with me. We went to White elephant, one of the best antiques furniture collection  in downtown Dallas. The store is so big and have many different vendors and if you see anything you like they can work on the prices with you as well. I’m finishing up on Loc’s living room and planning to come back there again to get things for Loc’s bedroom.  When it come to furniture shopping, I have a similar taste with my fashion shopping.  It means that I love to mix 19th century pieces with modern pieces just like mixing high-end and low-end clothes. I hope you guys enjoy the photos and I’ll keep you all posted when I’m done with Loc’s home. :)

Feeling Green

July 23rd, 2009 Nini 47 comments

Today is my day off and I’m running around Designing District to get things done for Loc’s home. Since it’s like 105F outside I thought to put on something comfortable and easy that I can walk and carry heavy things.  This little green vintage jumpsuits is perfect!

Wearing: green vintage romper, Lanvin flat, Givenchy bag and Gucci sunnies

Since Loc don’t have much time to take care his atrium garden I put in Sago Palm which is very  easy to  maintain & one of  Loc’s favorite flowers is hibiscus.

Orchid before & after:

Orchid is a little hard to take care of. The ways I decorate  it is to keep the orchid in it’s own pot. Then I put it in a container  that will fit  then add it with green moss around it. Anytime you need to water it just take it out and give it 2 ice cubes.  Put the orchid in a location  where it can receives natural sunlight. The location shouldn’t be too hot. If you put  it  by the  window and  direct sunlight, then it would be too hot, particularly during the summer.  I would move the orchid to a nearby table or counter where it can receive indirect light.  This is a hard subject for Loc to take care so I’ll help him keep an eyes on this baby.

I put two lucite chairs by the atrium window to achieve a modern look.  The reason why I chose the lucite chair is that I am still able to enjoy the atrium while it is there because I see through it.
