The Tuck-In

The tuck-in is one of hot trends that everyone can wear. This style is great for day or evening. It's also give you a edgy, whisper sport-chic. Great trousers and fabulous over-ankle length or calf-length boots will do the look. For more extreme, you should go for this season thigh-high boots to get the inspiration look of Isabel Marant F09 as I posted it in the past post(lick here to see). In this post, I wore Balenciaga jacket, F21 tank top, Mayle trousers, Lezilla boots, Lanvin bag and The Wood bracelets. Thank you to you all for sweet comments.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!!!! big hugs...Hanh!!!

Pinkalicious

Pinkalicious. This title was named by my 6 year old girl. When she saw me wearing this outfit for dining out with my family she said "Mommy, I love your sweater and your lip stick color. It's pinkalicious!"

The sweater is Yohji Yamamoto. This is my first time wearing over knee boots with shorts. Well after all, it's too young a look for me. I should have tights underneath the boots, but I had no time to take the boots off and put them on again.

Alexander Wang tank, F21 shorts.

Necklace by Appartement a Louer.
Jill Sander over knee boots.
Pinkalicious. Its name reminds me of our trip to visit the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. It is one of the oldest continually running rose gardens in the United States and the world. This is what gives Portland the nickname the "City of Roses," and is the host of a yearly Rose Festival and parade in June.

The garden features over 7,000 plants every year, representing over 500 varieties of roses and botanicals. The Rose Garden Arena hosts plays, concerts, and classical music concerts throughout the year. The best time for visiting is late spring through late summer, but it is very crowded in June during the Rose Festival when the park area comes to life with the powerful color of flowers and picnickers.

My great nephew and my two sweet girls.

Wishing you all a fabulous happy weekend with your family and friends!!!!

Love,...Hanh;-)

The Lips

Some of you have been asking me who takes my pictures. Many of you already know that my hubby is the one. Some like to know how I manage my time for taking all these pictures since I have a family and kids. Well, let's rewind a little bit- as I told you before, my husband doesn't like taking pictures or to be in the pictures either; but because he is a sweet gentleman and supports my blog, he's willing to take pictures for me. We usually take the pictures on the way to dinner or drinks because it's convenient for the time and location. We spend less than 15 minutes for each shooting, he might give up his cooperation if more than that :-((

In this picture, I wore MMMargiela top, Barney's CO-Op legging, Madewell scarf, Sam Eldeman boots. Love the cut-out on the side. The split on the other side.

I looked serious.
Thinking.

Thank you all for taking the time visiting my blog and your kind comments.

Wishing you all a lovely day!!!Love,...Hanh ;-)

Purple Girl

Last Saturday was my little girl's birthday, she turned 6 years old. She is cute and silly, an easy going person. She loves dancing, playing dress-up in my closet, drawing and mixing color. Her favorite color is purple. She's very good at numbers, creative and art. I'm proud of her and very happy. We celebrated her birthday with her classmates in classroom on Friday, one day before her birthday. She and her teacher made a chocolate cake ( her favorite color) and she of course wanted her cake in not just purple, but vampire purple, because Halloween is coming and "please, mix dark blue and red for vampire purple which is dark and a dull purple color", she explained to the teacher.

Enjoyed the cake.

After having the cake, all her friend and she got purple lips, reddish teeth.
On Saturday morning, her actual birthday, she woke up and told me she wanted to curl her hair, and wore her dress that she designed last year. She also wanted to have pancakes with candles on them, chocolate milk and chocolate mouse pudding for breakfast which all are her favorite foods. After that, her friends and she went to roller-skate for the celebration. She truly enjoyed and had happy birthday!

This is her sketch of the dress.

And sewing by grandma.
We also have a family tradition of eating Oreo ice-cream cake. Everyone in the family has Oreo-ice-cream cake for their birthday.

Second, let talk about zipper piece. When I was walking around Soho, on my last trip to NY. I saw this zipper shoulders piece/vest displayed in front of a local boutique (sorry for not looking at the name of the store because of the distraction from this piece) and I tried on, and I love it. Here I am !!!wore it with Haider Ackermann zipper silk dress which was on sale at the store called Seven in Soho. This zipper shoulders piece is handmade, designed by SOHUNG DESIGN in NY.

Ysl pumps, Ferragamo clutch.

Have a wonderful day to you all!!!!!

Love, Hanh;-)
