Hello everyone!
Hope you are all enjoying the onset of the holidays. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, the official Christmas season begins and then before you know it will be 2010…

I just wanted to write a quick entry about some amazing things happening to people I like. First, I got news that one of my favorite bloggers, Jane of SeaOfShoes, is going to be presented at the Crillon Ball in Paris. I couldn’t be happier for her! Jane is a trendsetter: she is never afraid to follow her fashionista instincts, she has great taste and she can handle even the harshest of heels. She has a kind heart and a sweet demeanor. Her fearlessness when it comes to fashion is simple inspiring. When I heard she was being presented, I thought it was amazing. Not only is the Ball the absolute most chic place to be presented but she is being dressed by the masters of chic: the House of CHANEL!!! What a perfect fit. Congratulations Jane, I am so excited for you!

Secondly, one of my favorite designers, Naeem Khan will be on Larry King tonight. He will be a part of a panel discussing the theme for tonight’s State Dinner at the White House.  If you like Naeem Khan, catch him on Larry King on Tuesday night talking about this phenomenon.

Just as I was writing about Naeem Khan, a friend called me and told me to Google his name. What I found was so exciting! Michelle Obama wore Naeem Khan to the White House State Dinner tonight! She looked beautiful in a nude gown that was hand embroidered with tiny sterling silver paillettes. I actually saw this embroidery during his Spring 2010 show this year but the silk was in a different color. Also, the gown that I styled Alex Tran in also used the same type of sterling silver paillette mixed with black to replicate snake skin. When you see this fabric close-up and touch it you realize that not only are the paillettes made of sterling silver but they have a weight to them. That weight really makes the difference in the gown Michelle Obama wore tonight: on the one hand, the paillettes are used in an abstract floral pattern as a light-catching ornamentation but on the other hand, the fabric falls beautifully because of the weight they provide. The silk shawl Michelle Obama draped around herself brought yet another light touch of glamour and was both a soft contrast to the sterling silver paillettes and provided the perfect backdrop in terms of color: the dress made her skin look AMAZING.  As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I met Naeem during Fall Fashion Week and he was very gracious to me and Hanh. I’m already excited to go to the Naeem Khan Fall 2010!

Hope everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving and I wish you and your families and loved ones the best for this holiday season.

Hanh and I have been good friends for a while now.  She’s always there for me, she is a great supporter and a  great friend. Whenever I’m down or need something, I know I can count on her. As long as we have been friends   she has never stopped encouraging me.

Hanh is a busy person. Besides taking good care of her 2 kids and being a great wife, she really enjoys blogging. She started not too long ago but she’s got more readers than me! I don’t know how she did it . What I do know is that she’s a very genuine person, and people tend to draw to her.
But she isn’t just a super mom, a super wife and a super friend. Hanh is also a super fashionista.  Her taste is fabulous and she has a closet full of Rick Owens, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Margiela and other top-notch fashion houses. We often shop together and when she purchases something new, Hanh is a smart shopper. Hanh knows her own style and knows what to buy to suit her body.

Loc and I are putting together a portfolio and I’m so thrilled that Hanh is going to be in our “LOOKBOOK“. Hanh has a really busy schedule with her kids, but she managed to get together with us at her home to do a shoot. We did three different sets with all different themes. It was so much fun to get creative with Hanh. She is a great model and the pictures turned out beautifully. Loc is still working on the editing. As soon as he is done, we’ll give Hanh all the photos for her blog.  Here is one of the photo from the shoot.  So you guys stay tuned and check back with Hanh to see her photos   Have a beautiful weekend everyone!!! xoxo Nini

Finally, “Finding The Inspiration For The World Of Fashion”  is here. I’m so sorry it took me some time to get them all together. I had a blast going through all  of the photos and I really appreciated all the special sweet notes from all the readers.

We met up with Amee yesterday. Amee is a blogger from Houston TX and she is here to visit her boyfriend’s sister. Amee is a student also working at a designer boutique in Houston. Amee loves fashion and has great taste in shoes. Make sure to check her blog out to see her zebra gladiator sandals. It’s HOT!!!! We met up with her for lunch at Taco Diner located at the West Village. We visited 4510 for a little while then went to Ahab Bowen for some vintage shopping. All of us had a wonderful time together. Amee is such a sweet heart. Even though today is my first time meeting her, but I felt like I have known her for a long time.
