Loc and I attended the annual Art Ball event last night as guests of BMW of Plano that benefits the Dallas Museum of Art. I’m very honor to be one of the Jetsetters for this year’s event. I donated the NINI hot pink circle dress and $1,000 NINI STYLE gift certificate for the silent auction and super excited that bid went for twice the value!
I’m wearing my new NINI black lace backless aodai. I love wearing the Vietnamese traditional aodai inspired styles to evening events as it has a glamorous, elegance, and timeless look to it.

Got max bid on the silent auction. I’m just so happy that the money went to such a wonderful cause.

I had a few events this month and my NINI pants had saved me. I had it made to go with my black velvet aodai and but I wore it twice to two different events with different tops. I’m thinking of making them in nude, gold and silver since I find them to be very useful.
Wore Tao by Comme des Garcons sweater, vintage 50’s earrings and pin to Art Ball Patron party that hosted by my friend Sheryl Maas in her beautiful home.

This is the jacket that I designed for DIFFA that was auction off to benefit AIDS & ART. It made out of Chanel’s tweed with butterflies all over the back. I’m very honored to be a part of such great cause.
Sorry for the lack of updates as Loc’s friends and I were celebrating his big 30th birthday. We were in New Orleans, Miami, and then took off on a cruise to the Bahamas. The trip were filled with lots of love, laughter, and great memories. Loc captured some photos of me wearing one of my new designs while the sun was coming down.

Hello everyone!!! The weather in Dallas has been extremely nice for the last few days. It feels like Spring with a soft breeze in the air and a beautiful blue sky. I took advantage of the weather to pull out my leather shorts. I want to feel comfortable and still look chic when I’m out to lunch. Some lunch dates just don’t call for my 5″ heels. And this leather on leather outfit is just perfect for that type of day: warm but not hot, busy but not formal. I’ve wore this leather top more than 50 times already. It is lightweight and feels amazing next to the skin.
I always love a good top that can be worn by itself or with a great belt. Since the shorts & top have volume, if I don’t belt the top this outfit would look really sloppy. The belt helps bring out the shape of the waist and helps balance out the look. By the way, I’m offering $150 off on this top from 01/22 – 01/27 for Lunar New Year celebration. ( purchase the top here )
What changes are you making in your make-up for the season? I just picked up a lipstick by MAC called Vegas Volt and I’m loving it. It’s a shade of coral/pink. Hope everyone is having a fabulous day and happy Lunar New Year!! xoxo NINI
I’m so excited to share one of my new designs with all my dear readers! At this time of year, my clients are looking for clothing that will work for the resort season but it isn’t the easiest season to find items for. The key is travel: whatever you pack for going away must be able to transition from day to night, must be light and compact and should work in both cold and warm climates. I’ve personally been looking for the perfect piece that will work for both the city with leather leggings & heels or on a romantic cruise with a favorite swimsuit. When I designed this, I had in mind lounging around with champagne and oversized sunnies.
I love this vivid blue. It is one of those colors that flatters most skin tones. This top is simple yet has lots of dramatic movement going on. I love the big snaps, the side slits and the blue/ Snake print on lambskin details on the cuff. The blouse is see through and you have the option of wearing it with a black or nude camisole or just wearing it with a lace bra. I’m really excited that this blouse turned out just like I had imagined and I’m so thankful for my wonderful team, without them I could not have brought my vision to life.
This is how I plan to wear the blouse:
In the city:
Look 1: With my favorite leather leggings or skinny black jeans and heels for a cocktail party.
Look 2: With dark blue skinny jeans and flat boots for casual meet-ups or errands.
Look 3: Over a mini skirt and ankle booties.
To the beach:
Look 1: Let the color speak for itself with white skinny jeans and a tank.
Look 2: Use it as a chic swimsuit cover up.
Look 3: Wear it with your shorts and flip-flops or resort shoes.
I’m also really excited that I finally I found a good pair of leather leggings that fits well with my budget. Have you found leather leggings you love that don’t fit perfectly? If the leather legging is too long on you, don’t cut the bottoms. Instead of cutting the hem, I added 8″ zipper on each leg. That way it will hang over my heels and help elongate the legs.
