A Cold Day in Deer Valley

Another cold day in Deer Valley, we took it easy skiing and played in the snow with the kids instead. For the first time, I shared my photos without make-up on, Lord! I often go bare faced when I travel with the family.

About the outfit, I tried to blend in tho the ski environment but not look so typically skier. This Prada jacket was a solution. I purchased it years ago at Barneys for 65% off and I brought it with me on every ski trip since. Yes, I get so many nice compliments everytime. Here is the look:

NhaKhanh thumb holed mesh top was underneath Club Monaco turtle neck sweater, BcBg wool pants, Lanvin lucite sunglasses, F21 knit hat, and very old snow boots.

In a different day with the same outfit but with Chanel boots and Nina Ricci sunglasses. They both instantly gave the look more stylish character. And in the two photos below, I had on a little blush :)

These Chanel boots I also purchased 65% off from last winter's sale at Barneys. They are so COOL and so many people have stopped to give me compliments.

Balenciaga Polka Dot Top

I wore this Balenciaga polka dot sheer top before. I styled it with gray sequine jacket and wide leg jeans. Another time, I styled it with leather shorts and Charlotte Olympia red velvet wedges. This time, I styled it with my old Proenza skirt and my new Mcqueen shoes. Underneath the Balenciaga top was NhaKhanh thumb holed mesh top.

The New Power Pairing for Winter

The cold days are here, wearing big chunky cardigans or over-sized sweaters is a fun way to keep us warm and cozy. There are so many ways to pair it; with jeans, leather leggings, shorts skirt, maxi skirt (if you're tall)...You can throw on a fabulous scarf, gloves, amazing boots, or add a touch of fur...there! You look so cozy and stylish.

And here is my new power pairing for winter: in this outfit, I wanted an exciting, fun, young, sexy look, but chic. So, I paired this sweater with gray leopard printed shorts from Tobi and my old Jill Sander high thigh boots. Of course, this consignment blue fur stole and a Chanel mini bag gave a touch of fanciness. I wore this outfit for my past Sunday casual afternoon date with my man while the kids enjoyed playing at grandma's house.

Okay! I think this Chanel mini bag is so sexy. More its picture below.

My old Dries van Noten sunglasses.

I've had these Jill Sander high thigh boots for many years, every fall/winter, I'm excited to bring them out. I love the structure of the heels and how you can rumple them to be knee length boots (as showed in the last two pictures).

I found this Alexander Wang sweater to be a very nice design. The zipper detail, the pointy sides, and the back design made it COOL.

Modern + Classic Tradition

Before you see these pictures below, please ignore my unpleasant face :) The sun was so strong that I couldn't relax my eyes and face. I needed sunglasses. Lol!! I had no time to retake. Oh! Well, the important thing here is the outfit to share.

I intended to design this dress to pair with my old MMMargiela leather shorts. I wanted this look to be a mix of modern and classic Vietnamese tradition; yet surely, the look has its own character. It's unexpected pairing! I really love the way these shoes paired with this outfit; kinda Lady Gaga, and the leather choker reminds me of Hmong people (French gave them the name Montagnards; mountain people) jewelry, a perfect element for this look.

About the dress, when I designed it, I was thinking it should be a versatile one. You can pair it with high waisted wide leg jeans, skinny jeans, leather leggings, trousers, pencil skirt, or even maxi pleated skirt...whatever you pair it with, it still gives you an unexpected asymmetric look and that's the fun. You also give it a fancy or casual look by styling with different accessories...

A big thanks to NhaKhanh for doing the pattern and sewing to put together this dress!!

Over the shoulders was Celine shearling cropped jacket.

Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk pumps from Solestruck are one of my amazing shoes. Actually, they're comfy and easy to walk in.

This leather choker is one of the more striking pieces from Sue Gragg's jewelry Holiday Collection. Her designs are stunning. She is a talented lady and a very sweet friend of mine. I actually wore this outfit to attend her jewelry show last Tuesday. It was an amazing show.

Thank you everyone for reading! Have a happy Sunday and a wonderful week ahead! x0...Hanh.

Color Splash, Part 3: Neon Pink

I styled these Miu Miu bloomers before with a nude polka dot top, but this time I wanted to style it with a solid bright color; neon pink. I got this Jean Paul Gaultier turtleneck top from Open Ceremony in Soho during NYFW. For some reason lately, I'm into vivid colors. This makes the fall/winter so different from the past; a mix feeling of spring :)

Maybe the way bloomers are designed makes me think they could be too young for me. However, I fell in love with these at first sight at the Miu Miu boutique months ago, so I made it work for me by wearing tights/pantyhose to reveal less skin (although bloomers and shorts are the same idea). What do you think?

Throwing in this outfit with MMMargiela sheer tail sweater vest to make this look more dramatic.

After I got my kitty cat face-red velvet Charlotte Olympia wedges during my stay in NYC for New York fashion week, but because they're light, comfy and give me height, I searched for another pair. When this pair was just on Net-a-Porter, I couldn't resist them.

Thank you everyone for visiting and have a fabulous weekend! xo...Hanh :)
