I've seen this Bliss Lau bracelet on Alicia Keys sometime ago in some magazine, and I love its interesting design. Then, when I saw it again at Vintage Marini with such a great deal compared with its original price, I was so happy to bring it home. But, to my husband I looked like a mental patient who just got out of the hospital :(

Beetle buckle belt was purchased from Judy.
My old Balenciaga handbag.
7 jeans and Alexander Wang mesh top.
Alexander Wang mesh top, Isabel Marant mesh jacket and cropped jeans.
Vintage necklace from Dolly Python Vintage store.
Styled with Rodarte ankle boots.
In this outfit, I had on F21 black tank top, Yohji Yamamoto corset/waist-band, Zero+Maria Cornejo pants.
I bought this Erickson Beamon necklace long time ago. The tiny elephant necklace from The Woods.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend with your family, friends!!! Big hugs...Hanh ;-)

Vintage Valentino Necklace

I really love this 70s vintage Valentino necklace and I've goten so many compliments on it. Don't you love the face of the pendant? It reminds me of a Hawaiian mask or something like that.
Theory shirt and Rochas shoes. They both were 75% off.
Alexander Wang shorts. I like the youthfullness and free-spiritedness of the shorts. Yet, they are flirtatious. As I said in the previous post, I don't feel comfy to wear this kind of shorts to go out alone or go out with my girlfriends because it can give the wrong message. But, I do feel comfy to wear them whenever I'm with my husband. When I shared this thinking with him, he's just so pleased and happy to hear it. Sweet!
These shoes are super comfy, one of my favorite shoes to run around in.

Noir

Hi everyone,
We arrived to Paris on August 2nd and stayed for about 1 week. I was so happy to see my kids enjoyed the city. They love it! We actually left Paris on the past Saturday for Provence and have been staying at a hotel in Provence at Terre Blanche. We're enjoying it so much. Also, we already visited Cannes, few villages in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region; Seillans, Fayence...We're going to St Tropez tomorrow and more places. We're surely having fun. I will share some photos of our trip later on :)
For right now, I'd like to share these photos which they were taken in Dallas before we left for the trip.

Wearing: CdG sequin wrapped vest and sheer skirt were 75% off at boutique called 4510 in Dallas. Ann D belt.

Wearing: my old See By Chloe jumpsuit was from INA consigment store in NYC. Isabel Marant silk ruffles vest. Givenchy belt.
Vintage necklace.
Thank you everyone for visiting! Wishing you all a fabulous day!! Big hugs...Hanh :)

Shoes and Clutch update

Nowadays, I love to collect Alexander Mcqueen pieces which they were designed before his tragedy. Yes, I'm still sad for what happened to him whenever I think about it. He was truly a genius.
This clutch is from the pre-fall 2010 collection and I'm lucky to have it. I purchased it at the store 4510. The clutch was sent to our apartment in Portland while we were there last week. I adore the clutch. When I flew home from Portland, I decided to carry it in my carry-on. Guess what? When I went through the security gate, they didn't allow me to carry it on! It's considered a brass knuckle; a weapon. We waited about 15' for their meeting to see if they would allow me to carry it on. It was so serious. I was so nervous and I was so thankful that they all agreed to let me carry it on. It's hilarious how a clutch could be a weapon. Actually, I understand their point. A happy ending.

These are brass knuckles.

My new addition to my shoe collection: Givenchy boots. I love the stitches and how they look old and dusty.

Another addition to my shoe collection: Alaia boots. They're so comfy.

These two pairs of Proenza Schouler shoes in the pictures below are in my wish-list. I'll be so happy if I have one of them :)

The To Post Or Not To Post

Hi everyone,

I hope you're doing well. It has been a while since I posted something new. Many of you who follow me on twitter probably know that I have been thinking about stopping my blogging. It's just because I'm getting busy with my volunteer work and my kids after school activities. We also planned another huge project to be done for our life that will keep me extremely busy which I will probably share with you guys in the future. Thank you everyone for leaving messages on twitter, on my comment page, and my email to encourage me to post. I'm not sure what I will do. But for now, I'll try my best to blog. A big thank you to you all for the love, and for supporting my blog. Please, follow me on twitter-lifeintravel- which is the way that I announce my new posts. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead! In the meantime, please enjoy my new post :) xoxo

And here I carried my beloved Alexander McQueen clutch for Fashion Night Out. The leopard top is Junya Watanabe which I purchased on final sale at Barneys about 2 years ago. It's a classic piece, great investment top that I will wear it lots this fall/winter. This picture credit for Danieljoseph Photography.
