Spring Forward!


Blazer & Necklace (H&M), Top (Wilfred from Aritzia), Pants (Kimchi Blue from Urban Outfitters, 
Loafers (Cole Haan)

A quick post before class - with Spring just around the corner, I figured why not get a head start! I recently bought this blazer since I believe that it's a must-have item for Spring/Summer because 1. of the color and 2. it's semi-peplum (you know how much I love those). Pairing this mint-green blazer with leopard print loafers definitely brightens my mood which helps to avoid depression here in Raincouver! 

Have a happy Humpday everyone :)

Fendi Fix




Blazer (Zara), Tank (Gap), Fendi Pants (Vintage), Heels (Sam Edelman)

A pair of Fendi pants fresh from Mama Nguyen's closet coming right up! When in dire need of a classic piece to complete my outfit, you can find me rummaging through my mom's closet. Mama Nguyen was kind enough to let me borrow her favorite pair of pants and I was hesitant to wear it at first but she insisted. Don't worry, I made sure to be extra careful and they're now safely back where they belong. Looking back at her old pictures, my mom is usually spotted wearing high-waisted pants (my fave) and maybe that's what sparked my love for them. Standing at 5"3, they do a whole lot for me by giving the illusion of longer legs (too bad I wasn't a Victoria Secret model). Oh well - work with what you've got, right? Or as the wise Tim Gunn would say, "make it work"!

Viva Las Vegas!



Let's play catch-up:

{First and foremost} Chuc Mung Nam Moi/Gung Hay Fat Choi... In other words, Happy Lunar New Year everyone ^__^v

{Secondly} I'd like to wish all you Februbabies a very Happy Birthday! Especially to my sister, Hang and one of my best girlfriends, Hannah!

{Lastly} I can't believe I've been so MIA! February is almost over and I'm only on my second post for this month (shame on me). As you can see, February has been such a busy month and always is every year. It's a tradition that we go to Vegas for Hannah's birthday around this time every year which makes the month even shorter. Regardless, we enjoy ourselves and have come to a consensus that every year turns out better than the last! Not only is the shopping amazing but so is the food (all you can eat buffets *drools*). The fact that almost everything is open 24/7 reminds me a little bit of my second home, Vietnam. 

During this trip, we met a lot of native Hawaiians and learned some Hawaiian slang *ahem* "where da bathroom stay"? and... Well, that's the only one I can remember right now. Sorry folks! The cherry on top of our trip was having a games night in Vegas... How often does that happen?! Games night + Vegas = BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! So, walking distance to shopping destinations, good food, and friendly people - what more can you ask for? Hopefully, we'll be back to enjoy some sun in the summertime! We'll see you soon Vegas ;)

And... That's a wrap!

Dress or Sweater?



Sweater (Vietnam), Denim Vest (Forever 21), Tights (Calvin Klein), Boots (Spring), Hat (H&M),
Watch (Michael Kors)

It's an over-sized sweater worn as a dress! So... I guess it's a sweater dress (best of both worlds)? Sweater dresses or over-sized sweaters are so versatile. I believe that it's a staple item to have in the closet for Fall/Winter because it can easily be paired with anything. Also, instead of going for the casual look as I did here; this outfit can be dressed up by losing the tights and throwing on a pair of heels. Can you picture it? Because I can! This casual ensemble makes it so easy to transition into a dressier outfit.
