Black Lace & Pearls

August 6th, 2010 Nini 39 comments

I bought this vintage lace dress awhile back and I decided to reconstruct it to fit my style. It’s V-neck and has cap sleeves. I styled it backward and Khanh helped me cut off the sleeves to make it more masculine. It’s a perfect dress for a girl’s night out!

Wearing: vintage lace dress, AA bloomers, F21 tank, vintage and F21 pearls, Nhã Khanh elastic black belt and YSL booties

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!! xoxo Nini

Nini’s Bachelorette Night

August 3rd, 2010 Nini 38 comments

I had the best bridesmaids to plan for the bachorette party ever!   I couldn’t ask more for a better maid of honor, Khanh!!!!.  She did such a fantastic job of planning and hosting the party from A-Z.  The party turn out much  better than I expected.  Thanks everyone that took time and celebrate it with me.  I enjoyed watching all the games you guys planned/played,  it was a lot of fun!

Khanh was so detailed oriented that she included my blog’s name and photos as part of the decor.

Wearing Comme des Garcons black transparent dress with bloomers and tank inside.

With Aiden, he was so busy packing to go back to NYC but he was there for my party. I love him!

With friends, the theme of the party was black and white glamor. I thought it was fun for everyone to wear white and I wear black. It’s more me :-)

Nina, is the person on the far left. She’s going to be one of my bridesmaids. She’s super sweet!

Bling bling!

Khanh was my stylist. She puts all kind of accessories on me.

Delicious food all prepared by Khanh. She’s a super woman.

We played all different crazy games. One of them is the bananas eating game. It’s SO FUNNN.

With PV and Susie

Susie surprised me with a naughty yummy cake. Thanks darling!!

Our wedding is 18 days away. I’m super excited and can’t wait for it to be here soon. Have a fabulous day everyone!! xoxo Nini

Three Different Ways That I Styled My Strapless Dress

July 29th, 2010 Nini 27 comments

Do you own a classic strapless dress? 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

2 Yards Of Silk = Nini’s Style Dress

July 26th, 2010 Nini 28 comments

This is something that I thrown up at the very last minute to meet up with our friends for dinner and cocktails. I tried many things but was not happy with the look that I tried to achieve.

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.

With my other half, Khanh Nguyen
