Balenciaga Motorcycle Leather Jacket

December 9th, 2009 Nini Leave a comment Go to comments

Hi everyone -

I hope you are all in great holiday spirits. I have been working long and crazy holiday hours, spending time with my family, Loc and my dogs. Overall, I’m a happy girl :-) It has been so cold in Dallas lately and it has made me lazy to take photos. I’m sorry for running behind!

Remember this Balenciaga motorcycle leather jacket? I wore it like crazy last winter and I’m so happy to bring it out again this season. That’s an example of investing in quality clothing. When you buy a good investment item you are able to wear it again, again and again until you can’t fit in it anymore. Investments are seasonless and they allow you to save money by collecting items to use over and over again rather than spending money every single year for the same type of item. If you count up how much I would have spent on two or three jackets instead of just wearing the Balenciaga, you can easily see that money is saved.

I’m wearing my favorite black jet jean/legging from Current/Elliot. I bought these awhile back at Barneys and finally have a chance to post about them. This is the jean I strongly recommend for everyone to get. It’s so comfortable and nice fitting. They look great as a jean or you can wear them as leggings. Everyone go get a pair right now and I know you’ll not regret it.
I hope you all enjoy the photos that Loc took for me at his friend’s warehouse. Hopefully the weather will get better so Loc will take more photos for me :-) I hope you all having a great day!! xoxo Nini Nguyen

    Hey Nini!!! I love your look and totally agree with you regarding investing in pieces that are timeless and are equal in quality. It’s amazing how much money is wasted on items that only last maybe two wears. Unless it’s a t-shirt or something disposable, hard earned money should go towards amazing pieces. Hey…I’m still struggling with my blog. Help! LOL! Great photos!!!!

    I really want to pare down my wardrobe and only buy great quality pieces that fit perfectly and will work for years to come. About half my wardrobe qualifies, but the other half is questionable. You totally inspire me!!! Thanks!

    hi nini…what you said said about investing in quality pieces is so true. you look great in the motorcycle jacket and jeans! heard so much good things about current/elliot.

    Love the poses they remind me of Hamlet, very English! You jacket is beautiful and you are quite right about an investment piece. A leather jacekt will last you a life time if you get a good quality one. You hair is looking great, so sharp! xx

    OMG, Nini. I can’t believe you have the Balenciaga motorcycle leather jacket I’ve admired for so long!!!! You’re just something else. You inspire me!!
    On a side note, I absolutely love Loc’s work. Absolutely. He deserves alot of recognition. However, I’d love to see you in a more candid shots. You know what I mean?

  34. December 13th, 2009 at 12:06 | #34

    Happy sunday, Nini!

    Oh yes… this Balenciaga jacket is one of my very beloved jackets, too.
    The grey color is so cool as it was, from what I know, the only color which was designed
    “distressed”.
    I remember all the stunning photos you took together with Hanh last year and your jacket is and will always be so eyecatching ,) LOVE IT!!!

    totallyyyy in love with that jacket!

    The jacket is definitely sick. The color is a tad unusual, as far as a “classic” moto leather but I think that’s apart of its appeal. Further, it is Balenciaga. You are can do no wrong with that haus.

    that jacket is amazing!!!
