Wearing: top and pant from Vince, Super sunnies, vintage clutch, Givenchy booties

Another reason why I love Spring in Texas so much is wildflowers areall over the place, especially bluebonnet! This is what I wore out tolunch with Loc yesterday. I didn’t know we’re going to shoot withbluebonnet, otherwise I would have wear something more elegant withmovement. Maybe next time 🙂
My little casual look is from Vince. It’s another effortless and comfortable look.  Vince is a great place to get all your basics. The quality is great and the prices are very reasonable compared to others. Have a great day everyone!! xoxo Nini Nguyen

P.S: I’m working on the Ebay shop. I’ll have the shop reopen again this Sunday.

Dramatically Furious

I hope that you all doing well!  It has been awhile since we last shoot editorials. I’ve been wanting to do a shoot with swimwear mix with fur for along time in black and white.  I’m a huge fan of  black and white photography and it’s just really hard to capture it in digital because it doesn’t have the film like feeling. The kind of look I wanted is a little blurry and more of the mysterious side.   Thanks to Loc for his Photoshop skill, I am able to get what I envisioned.  I’m in the process of renovation of my closet and these series will be up on the wall with all different sizes in black/white frames.  I hope you all having a great Easter Sunday and a wonderful week ahead of you.  xoxo Nini Nguyen

NiniTip: Flattering Fit

April 1st, 2010 39 comments

Wearing: Marni ruffle tunic, Seven highwaisted pencil skirt, F21 cuffs, YSL pumps

My clients always ask me how to get the right fit–from sweaters, coats and jackets to pants and skirts, the way these items fit your silhouette will make or break the outfit. Sometimes, the fashion world gets really excited about a certain trend (Balmain’s strong shoulder, the skinny jean) and everyone rushes to wear it. But not every silhouette is for every body. I recommend wearing the silhouettes that make you feel confident: sometimes finding a timeless silhouette is more practical than chasing trends. I always experiment with trendy silhouettes but I settle on what is right for me.

To find the fit that works for you, you have to be realistic: if you have a body part that you feel insecure about, don’t try to hide it with clothing. Use it to your advantage. For example, I’ve mentioned before that my hips are my biggest fear. If I gain or loose any weight, it all goes directly to my hips. Basically, my hip is the thickest part of my body and my upper body is long.

I’m a huge fan of high waisted bottoms because they show off my problem area by flattering it. High waisted pants, shorts and skirts help elongate my hips and make my body look longer. The silhouette is versatile and sexy yet sophisticated. I love wearing highwaisted skirts or shorts with a voluminous blouse tucked in. It’s a classic look that you can’t go wrong with. If you want to dress down a hightwaisted bottom you always can throw on a loose white tee-shirt and a pair of gladiator sandals or wedges for a great look this Spring. Happy April everyone!!! xoxo Nini Nguyen
