Hello everyone ~ Here I’m wearing red again. Do you remember a few entries back when I wore a red skirt? That skirt is the second half of the suit this vintage Chanel jacket comes from. I love the idea of a red women’s suit but it is a little too much when they are worn together. They just looked a little too serious together so I wore them separately. I love wearing red because it’s a lucky color in our culture. It symbolizes good fortune and joy. Red is found everywhere during Chinese New Year and other holidays and family gatherings. Besides, red is so big for Fall 2012 and it’s a great color to brighten up any skin tone. If you have never worn red before try it out! You never know…it could be your new discovery!
Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Loc and I spent time with his parents today. And we were so lucky to be treated to a wonderful time with good food and even better people.
Loc’s mom always cooks for us every time we come to visit them. I’m a vegetarian and this is my 7th month of being a vegetarian. I feel so special because she always takes time to make me the most delicious meals. His parents are very lovely and I’m blessed in every way to have Loc and his family in my life.
I’m wearing the Leighlace tunic. It has a silk front and a fully lined lace back. I wear it as a dress with a pair of shorts underneath. I can’t wait to pair it back with skinny jeans and boots when the weather turns colder. This tunic is on pre-order now and you can click hereto purchase it. This item takes 2 weeks from order to delivery.
I’m so lucky to have the most loyal and generous readers. Thank you all so much for all your love and support. Love you! Xo Nini
Hello everyone- Are you guys as excited as I am that the weekend is here? Although the week is full of fun projects and interesting work endeavors, I love the weekend because that’s when we get to see our families and spend quality time with them. This is what I wore to work then straight to a casual dinner last night with Loc. Have a great weekend everyone! xo Nini
Get The Look:
Rick Owens jacket ( got this jacket in Paris but here is a classic version )
Zara jeans ( still available in store but similar here )
We all have busy days and you can’t take all your outfits with you so I’m always looking for a ‘uniform’ outfit. The criteria for the outfit is simple: it needs to be just as appropriate for a morning coffee meeting as it is for a dinner meeting followed by drinks. Transition is the key word!
I love throwing on a pair of great fitting of jeans, a cool graphic T-shirt, then adding a fun blazer and heels for an outfit that works as hard as I do. This is my go-to look, especially for a tough day of styling or out to dinner to working with clients. This look is just comfortable for moving around but still chic enough for low-key events.
I have to share my latest little shopping secret with you. Zara makes the best jeans on the planet. I would recommend getting them tight because they’ve got a little give. This camouflage pair is my favorite. For those that are wondering how I do my hair, here it is in a nutshell: I use a flat iron to curl it against my face and hair spray for hold. Then I use my fingers to run through the curls once or twice for volume. Have a nice day everyone! xo Nini

Fall is here! As I’ve written about many times, I like to buy a couple of statement pieces every season and add them to a permanent collection. Each season I update with a small amount of basics while keeping the bulk of my budget for vintage or high-end purchases. After many years of arranging and rearranging my wardrobe, I’ve found that keeping your closet heavy with basics and rotating your seasonal investment pieces is the most practical way to shop if you want to get the most out of your budget.
I wanted to share the key items that I’ll be shopping for this season with you guys! The top three items I recommend for this fall are: a great black blazer, a few of basic graphic t’s and a great fitting mini leather skirt.
A great blazer. There is no better item for transitioning from morning all the way past dinner and into an evening cocktail. It’s awesome for when you are traveling and don’t have the space for too many items. You can always just wear black jeans, a simple Vince white T-shirt and then throw on a great long black blazer.
A great graphic t’s. This is a great piece to wear with a simple skirt and heels for an evening out.
A great mini leather skirt. This is not just is a must have for Fall, this is just a MUST have. It just makes your wardrobe better and better because a skirt on the plainer side that fits well can go well with most of your tops.
Since we’re in the middle of the Fall season, I don’t know what else is going to go on my list but I’ll be updating my list so check back! Thanks for reading! xo Nini
