Hello everyone!!!

I am so excited to share with you about a mini project that we will all be a part of with lenovo for the next 3 weeks!!! It won’t be just me, I will need your help during this time frame to make it fun and exciting for everyone!

Let me share with you what this project is about and how you can participate. I will be collaborating with a designer in New York, Aiden Vo,  to reconstruct a vintage piece to make it current and fresh. I will post the final lookbook on the blog which Loc will be shooting once it’s completed. You will see how we use our lenovo Touch PCs during our creative process via my instagram, twitter, Facebook, Aiden’s instagram, and Loc’s instagram.

During this time, we need your input as to how we should go about selecting the vintage pieces, redesigning the piece and different suggestions for photography for Loc. This is where is gets exciting! If we feel that your inputs is most influential to our final products, lenovo will let you pick one of their touch pc’s that we use during this chronicles!  As this chronicles will be updated regularly, you can participate via my instagram (@ninistyle) , lenovo’s instagram, lenovo’s twitter, lenovo’s Facebook and hashtags #lenovo and #ninichronicles or comments below.  I would love so much to hear your creative inputs for this process but your chance to use this wonderful product from lenovo.

Check out a little more about me and what I do!

Update 1:

Went shopping at Dolly Python for that piece that everyone loves! The prints is crazy!!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. I want to share with you a little DIY project that I did recently. I had a great little Zara jacket that I wanted to play with and the Chanel backless jacket that Miroslava Duma wore inspired the project. I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I love the look of a tweed jacket with an open back. I took a little risk and went into my closet looking for a piece I could cut to create this look. I thought my Zara jacket would be fun to turn into a back-less number. You always can look for a vintage tweed jacket for this DIY project. Have a great day everyone!! xo Nini

Inspiration:

Step 1: Get your supplies: some pins, a ruler or tape measure and chalk or a light colored high-lighter, needle and some threads.

Step 2: Decide on how much you want to cut off. If you see yourself wearing the jacket with low waisted pants, it should cut below the waist. I wanted the jacket just above my waist for outfits with high-waisted skirts or shorts.

Step 3: Pin it. I always concentrate on making sure all the seams are even and after double checking, I cut.

Step 4: Sewing the seams. You can hand-stitch the seam back yourself or sew it with a sewing machine. You can have the option of a clean finish hem or let them distressed
