I wore my CDG outfit to a friend’s wedding last week.  I’m currently in love with transparency dresses. For the Fall season,  I’m going to wear this dress with bloomers, turtle-neck, and my Barneys New York over knee boots. It’s going to be my uniform for Fall.

Wearing: Comme des Garcons dress, F21 mini dress, Christian Louboutin lace up shoes, vintage clutch and necklace

I really love the look of the black lace Christian Dior booties. I think it’s beautiful to wear with a heavy over-sized sweater for Fall. LOVE THAT LOOK!!

I changed 4 different times. The first three looks were long in white and the last one was in nude lace, which was my dancing dress.  It was a 1950’s dress I bought 3 days before the wedding at Gratitude. Thank goodness for Khanh. She helped me reconstruct the dress. The original dress has 3/4 sleeves and the length was far to long for me. Khanh shaped it for me and removed the sleeves. She’s amazing!!! Not to mention that she did most of the planning and decorations for the wedding. She even did all the bridesmaid bouquets!!!

YEYYYY!! Finally after 10 years

The theme for the wedding was white. In the morning, all my bridesmaids were wearing white aodai ( the Vietnamese traditional gowns ) and they all looked amazing!! The gowns were cut perfectly and everyone looked very fresh and innocent. During the night all of them had on black lace dresses, very glam and sophisticated.

For my hair and make up, I wanted to have the full 1950’s look for night time and I wanted to have the elements of glamour reflect the style of the dress. I have light S shape on the front and red lipstick is just the pop that all of my neutral outfits needed. Nancy Uyen is the make up & hair artist and she’s the best! ( She’s the one that holding the camera on the previous photo )

My 2nd outfit of the night

Remember this portrait that I posted before? and I got a lot of questions about why I share my wedding gowns before my wedding day? In my culture it’s a tradition to have your wedding portraits before the wedding to display at the ceremony.

My maid of honor, Khanh Nguyen also known as Nha Khanh. She was there on my side the entire day and night on my big day.

That’s me in Nha Khanh Black Velvet backless gown

And of course, my wedding can’t go on  without my Ducky. He was on the cake table to guard the big bling So adorable!

Dancing the night away with bestie!

That’s all for now. I’ll keep you guys posted with some more wedding photos. Stay tuned for the 2nd episode. xoxo Nini

Thank you all for the wedding wishes. I’m still recovering from the big night. More photos are coming soon. Stay tuned!! Have a fabulous and I miss you all! xoxo Nini

If you don’t, it’s definitely a staple of any wardrobe and I would definitely say it’s a piece that’s  worth investing in.  It’s a timeless silhouette; easy to accessorize and effortless to wear.  There are a zillion different ways that you can style it to create a different look every time you wear the dress.

My favorite strapless dress is from Dries Van Noten. It is made of silk crepe and has a texture that I can wear year-round. The dress drapes loosely on the body so I can wear it with or without a belt, and the navy blue color is just so subtle that I can wear it during the day or out at night.  Here are three different ways that I styled my strapless dress for three different occasions.

Look #1: Romantic date

To create a sexy and elegant look for a romantic date. I paired the dress with sexy simple black pumps. I cinched in the waist and accessorized it with some big bling to make the simple dress stand out for the night.

Wearing: Dries Van Noten dress, YSL pumps, Janis Savitt necklace, Nhã Khanh belt

Look #2: Day time at the office

For a day time look at work I wore the dress with a shirt underneath it, cinched the waist and put on my comfortable shoes.

Wearing: Dries Van Noten dress, Givenchy booties, tiger vintage belt and Vince white tee.

Look #3: Night time out with the girls

To achieve the modern artsy look for girl’s night out.  I paired the dress with a big tulle tulle skirt over and cinched it in with a big belt.

Wearing: Dries Van Noten dress, Giambattista Valli belt, skirt by me, Christian Louboutin lace up.

Have a fabulous day everyone!! xoxo Nini

I started playing with this piece of nude silk fabrics that I bought for one of my projects. I draped it on my body and I really like how it turned out. It was perfect! I want something drapery, elegant, and has an edge and this piece was perfect for the occasion.

I got tons of compliments, people were asking who made my dress and I told them that all it takes:

*2 yards of nice silk fabrics

*Drape it on your body asymmetrical, and tie a knot on the back

*Secure it with a nice belt.

If you have any questions feel free to ask:-D Have a fabulous day everyone!! XoxoNini

Wearing it with: Rick Owens tank, vintage necklace and alligator clutch, Current/Elliot black jeans, Fendi Pony hair booties.
