Century 21
UPDATED: Thanks Rebecca for pointing this, LOL 
Someone at FashionWeekDaily overheard us with the Elijah story!!!
http://blogs.fashionweekdaily.com/?p=19486
I heard people talked about Century 21 in NY all the time! I had to make a trip this time to see what it is all about. This place is huge and packed with people from all over the world. They have racks of clothes from previous season that you have to go through but it’s nicely organized by vendors. If you’re in a budget (like I am ) and want to wear designers, this is the place for you!!! You can find anything from Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, Haider Ackermann, Gareth Pugh, Givenchy, Valentino and many more. This is the place where I found my gray MMM one-shoulder top for such a bargain price. If you’re visiting NY, you must make a stop here. It’ll worth your time.
One of the many highlights on my NY trip is that I got to see Carine Roitfeld. It was a dream comes true for me to be able to see her and have my picture taken with my muse. Beside that, I have a really funny story to share :-). After the Rodarte show, Hanh and I went back stage to say hi to the Rodarte sisters and we saw Elijah Wood. I said that he is from Harry Potter and Hanh agrees as well! Both of us came up to him later and I told Elijah Wood that I’m his biggest fan and I love Harry Potter!!!. Elijah Wood just smile and said thank you without correcting me. HOW NICE OF HIM!! As the day go on, I told Loc that I just saw Elijah Wood from Harry Potter and Loc said that he is from Lord Of The Ring not Harry Potter. OH EMM GEEEE !!! How can I mixed Daniel Radcliffe with Elijah Wood???? They look so much alike though!! It was awkward indeed kakaka. Hanh and I saw him again with his girlfriend, Pamela Racine, at the Rodarte after party that night and of course, we turned into a different direction and pretended we didn’t see him 😉 . It was totally celebrities crashed down. I’m pretty bad with celebrities and model names. I need to get my list together
Have wonderful day weekend everyone!! xoxoxo Nini
PS: Nini’s Style is reaching 5000 comments!!!! I just want to say a BIGGGGG “THANK YOU” to everyone for your support and sweet comments. I will have a surprise gift for that 5000th comments It’s definitely going to happen in this post Good luck everyone!!!

Century 21 sounds amazing. I need to make a trip To NYC. You always look stunning, Nini.
You look stunning in this MMM piece, Nini! LOL on that Elijah Wood mixup, that’s so nice of him to not correct you. =)
Congrats on your milestone of 5K comments!!
That top is truly amazing. I love the colour and the cut… perfect!

im sure he’s heard that mix up before though.
im really wanting to check out this c21 place!!! hehehe i like that last picture of that woman checking you out. LOL!!
LOL on the mix up. They do look alike! Love this look on you!! Like the previous comment said, love that pic that the lady is checking you out !!

The woman in the last photo giving you that head turning glance is funny – wonder how many people have noticed her?
The shorts/bloomers is not a look many people could pull off well but looks good on you and I really like the one-shoulder top.
Oh that is TOO FUNNY, Chi.
I probably would have run the other way too! :X
Oh by the way, thanks for the heads-up. I was thinking about going to NY and I will definitely put it in my itinerary to check out Century 21 =)
I also love the woman turning her head to check you out in the last photo! You always look like you’ve just stepped out of an editorial in a magazine! Your style is so solid! It’s really inspiring. The story is so funny. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got that all the time.
Oh my! STUNNING outfit, Nini!!! Your ‘Elijah Wood’ story is so funny!
And I’ve been to Century 21 before, must visit it again 😉
xx
You look gorgeous on the streets of New York!
I’m liking the bloomers, but I don’t think it’s a look I’ll ever be able to pull off.
Wooow that’s the craziest top! I love the casual grey marle colour contrasted with the dramatic one sleeve! MMM at his best. Congrats on reaching such a grand milestone, Nini, keep up the fantastic work!
LOL i love the story. at least you didn’t say “hi daniel radcliffe, i love your movies” that would be extra awkward :T
Hi Nini, I am heading up to NYC in OCT. Can’t wait to check it out. =) That is really neat that you got a pic with your muse. You should frame it!
Hi Nini,
I love this look of yours. Simplicity at it’s finest. I love that you keep it simple and the only accessory is your clutch. Very clean!
Hi.
You’re definitely eye catch person, see the last picture! Everyone one want to look your stunning style.
Haha, that’s a funny story about Elijah Wood. It sounds like it’s something he’ll be saying on a talk show hehe.
Century 21 is one of my favourite stops in NY too!! & I love your outfit
Take care!
super model!
xo chauss
ahh, i’m so jealous! i would’ve loved to go to the rodarte show!!
and i definitely need to check out century 21 next time i’m in new york!
OMG I love that Elijah was such a sweetheart! I’m so envious that you got to see the rodarte show in person. I died when I saw the amazing false tribal tattoos (having thought they were only meant for surfer boys named Chett hehe) so ah-mazing! Also thanks for the recommendation on the YSL tribs, I loved them!
+ Your outfit is dead on brilliant!
:'( aw I’m no longer a daily read? Well I have been so out of it all year to properly blog/comment anymore. I’ve kinda drop the ball big time on my blog. I’ll take it as a reminder to get my life on track again. I couldn’t even attend fashion week this year argh.
KISS, China L.

Good Morning, Nini!
These CDG baggy short pants look so adorable on you.
Wish I could wear pieces like this,too 😉
Had to smile about your funny “Elijah” story, Nini!!!
Did you see these uber-cool Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte heels
at Jak+Jil… not what you call a sophisticated wear-all-time but such a scene-stealer!!!! The “Mulleavy sisters” … a magical name in fashion!
Enjoy your week, Nini!
Hi Nini, you are too skinny!!! btw i love NYC too! amazing city!
5000 comments! Wow! Your outfit is amazing

Stunning Nini! LOve your Givenchy booties! And this outfit…OMG….love it!
You look stunning – like always. In Century 21 my husband bought for me lovely miu miu pumps and neil barret dress in a ridiculous price, so I know what you mean; it’s funny how the lady on the last picture is looking at you 😉
Nini, I love what you are wearing in this outfit. You look so chic and stunning. The second picture of you is really cool. Every though there’s a crowd of people behind you, you seem to be the only one in the picture. At least my eyes are focused on you and what you’re wearing
Great story, Nini. You and Hanh are so funny.
All the best,
Carrie
I love your style!!!!!!!!
Adorable shorts!
X♥X♥
Hi Nini– It was so nice meeting you briefly at the IFB event! Hope you had a blast in NY. I love those CdG shorts on you
Long time reader, first time comment!
Congrats on reaching the 5K comments milestone. I love this look on you! SO cHiC!!!!
WOWWW Nini. CONGRATS On the 5K comments.
Love your MMM top. You really stands out from the crowd!!
Love your top-looks just amazing on you:)
Wooow just like a “Girly GLAMazon on NY streets” !!! AND the asymmetrical shape of your top combined with the way it emphasizes your curves’ delicacy Frankly compose such a Sensual cocktail, that your pretty polished toes tend to match on such a “Fetishistic” way . . .
ps: Oooooh so Beyond this little “People-esque” misunderstanding, Actually Elijah W is such a lucky man to be greeted by an exquisite duet like yours !!!
Hope you’re Well Dear.
à Bientôt, Antoine
Love the color combo on this outfit. You always look so flawless. Are those sunglasses new? They look great on you. I think Kayne West has the same one in blue.
here you have them Nini!
the boots you were asking about: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=10&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=16735870&parentid=W_SHOES_BOOTS_TALL&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=18&navAction=poppushpushpush&color=&pushId=W_SHOES_BOOTS_TALL&popId=W_SHOES_BOOTS&prepushId=WOMENS_SHOES
they are urban outfitters fall/winter collection 2009/10! I love them too… they are just too expensive for my budget :/ sad :'( hehe 😛 I’ll try to survive somehow!!!
@Pika
Thanks Pika for the link. They’re fabulous but it’s kinda expensive for Urban Outfitter. We should keep it in mind and hopefully they still be around when sale comes
Nini
@Liz
Hi Liz-
Yes, those sunglasses are new. I’ll talk more about it on my up coming post.

Love what you are wearing! Funny but your Elijah Woods incident was capitured by Fashion Week Daily:
September 16, 2009
Heard – Fashion Week Daily – 10:47 am
Overheard: Of Hobbits and Harry Potters
Overheard at Rodarte: Two Japanese editors to Elijah Wood: “You’re our favorite actor. We saw every tingle Harry Potter movie. Can we take a picture?” Elijah, with a wink at Chic Report, responded, “You sure can!”
Gorgeous!!!!
wow i ve just found ur blog, n ur style is definitely amazing
Cindrella
LOVE the shorts. The whole outfit is amazing glad u had fun in NYC
NINI!!!! 1st thanks so much for your really lovely comments : )
My first moment to see your blog – I LOVE the Elijah Wood/Daniel Radcliffe Mix-up Story. Come to think of it, I’d have done the same thing: they really are quite interchangeable.
& your outfit is absolutely gorgeous!! If you were @ London Fashion Week I’d be so chasing you up for photos! (still posting on it – and I know I owe you an email & a photo of that shirt… once I can find it : )
xoxo jill @ http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/
