I had hosted this contest before and would like to do it again. As you know, Fall2012 Fashion Week of New York, London, Milan, and Paris is coming soon, so let's get inspired and ready for it. The idea of this contest is just for fun and of course getting inspiration. I know there are many of you that are very inspired already, and it would be lovely to share that inspired style here at Life-in-Travel, and I'm excited to know more about your sense of fashion. Everyone (including international contestants) can enter this contest giveaway gift, just send to lifeintraveling@gmail.com a picture of your outfits with your name and what you're wearing. Please, summit your two photos of two looks by January 26th. I will choose around 15 to 20 faces and let all the readers rate it. The winner is the one who has the most votes, and will get $175 giftcard from the store of your choice, or cash. Have fun with your fashion creation and GOOD LUCK to you all! ;-)

This red MMMargiela sweater was from last year. I've worn it alot, but I had no chance to share it until now. It's also very sexy to style it with shorts and a pair of any length boots, especially with thigh high boots.

And these Row leggings are absolutely a GREAT investment piece. I've been wearing them countless times in every fall/winter season and its quality is the best. Here are the links that you can find them, very similar to mine, click here or here.

"Rock!" ring designed by my little girl last year when she was 7.

McQueen boots. You can find them here for 30% off (they run a little big).

MMMargiela clutch. (resemblance here)

Sue Gragg necklace.

Thank you everyone for reading! Have a wonderful day!!! xo...Hanh :)

Color Splash, Part 2: Vivid Orange

I'm obsessed with the color of this Celine bag. This strikingly vivid orange is so uplifting, yet. it's surely brightens the gray winter sky and brings us to a different level of energy-a strong feeling for this fall/winter season.

Balenciaga is always on my A list of my favorite designs. And this top....Its asymmetrical design, the sculpted neckline, the surprising shimmer gold underneath, its chic, edginess, bold, and so modern...made this top so different; simply drop dead gorgeous! I'm in love!

Wearing with NhaKhanh thumb hole black mesh top, Nina Ricci sunglasses.

These J Brand jeans are over 5 years old. Every time, I wear them and realize how much I love them! They're a great investment piece. I'm glad that they brought this design back and the jeans are being sold again at Barneys CO-OP.

I found this silver bracelet, designed by Audrey Savransky who has created AS29 line, at Colette store in Paris this summer. I was looking for a perfect designed dragon bracelet for years, and I was so happy to find it. If you look at its details and its proportions are just magnificent. I absolutely adore it! My dream! :)

Another way I paired these jeans with different fabulous tops in my old post in the past spring, click here, if you wish :-) It was definitely another one of my favorite outfits.

Thank you everyone for reading and have a lovely day! xo...Hanh :)

A Postcard from China

Weeks ago, I got this postcard in my email from my sweet friend, Nathalie, and I planned not to post until Chinese New Year; but, I couldn't resist posting it and can't wait to share. This is the cutest postcard ever!! It's so sweet of her to do this collage. Thank you Nathalie!

Nathelie is a jewelry designer and works along with her husband, Fernard, as a team for their own jewelry line, Hanna Bernhard. They live in Paris and their work is amazing, one of a kind. Most of the pieces that I've collected from their line have an Oriental theme which I love. If you're one of my long time readers, you've probably already read my old posts about them. Anyway, check out their blog to learn more about their work if you wish. And here is the postcard.

Below are the pictures which she used for the collage.

Wearing: Hanna Bernhard Chinese dragon and Japanese lucky cat necklaces.

Thank you everyone for reading and wish you a wonderful weekend! xo...Hanh :)
