NYFW DAY 3: A LACE AFFAIR

NYFW DAY 3: A LACE AFFAIR


Crystal Phuong- New York Fashion Week 2016 Day 3- Best Streetstyle

I have to admit; I'm a sucker for lace, silk, chiffon, and anything that can bring feminity to the next level. This year at New York Fashion Week, I played with many different styles, textures, and silhouettes. You saw a full sequin look here on day 1 and the overlay-ruffled jumpsuit on day 2, here comes day 3. Two outfits in one day. The common thread? It's all about lace.

It was hot during the day, so I decided to wear a lace bell sleeve top with a black cop-top underneath, leaving just enough to the imagination. A flared wide-leg pants added some flavors to spice up the whole look (They are one of my favorite pants by the way). Totally fashion-week appropriate.

At night, I changed to a stunning black-white striped lace dress. As this dress showed too much skin, I didn't feel comfortable walking in New York at late night in such a revealing outfit so I threw a long vest on top. Problem solved. We went to attend a couple of fashion shows at Style Fashion Week and went to an after-party after that.   

The truth is I seldom wear all black or black-and-white outfits to attend fashion week, especially at night. But if I had to, then I'll make sure my shoes and accessories speak louder than my outfits. Always!

NYFW DAY 2- SUNSHINE IN NEW YORK

NYFW DAY 2- SUNSHINE IN NEW YORK



I hardly wear a yellow outfit, let alone a striking yellow jumpsuit. But when I saw this bandeau ruffled jumpsuit on ASOS a few months ago, my instinct told me that it would be a perfect outfit for fashion week. And it was, indeed. 

I received countless compliments when I was making my way to the show. Not only the compliments on my outfit, but also on my hair color and accessories. Blue is the new black, maybe?

It was day 2 of New York Fashion Week. Our day started at 9 am, and we were moving nonstop, from Soho to Times Square, from Skylight Moynihan to Central Park. The fashion show, the after party, the meeting, and the presentation. One after another from the day I arrived in the city to the day I left. 

Having very little time in between each event, we had to make use of whatever chance we got. Jan and I shot this outfit at two different times of the day. One is in the morning in Soho and the other in the afternoon at Times Square. It was bright in the morning, but the sky became gloomier in the afternoon. We shot so fast as we were afraid of the darkness catching up on us. But the dark sky with the brown bricked buildings in Manhattan turned out to be the perfect backdrop for this va-va-voom outfit. I felt like a super-woman with my cape who has the power to bring a little sunshine to this never-sleeping city.

NYFW DAY 1: RAINBOW ON REPEAT

NYFW DAY 1: RAINBOW ON REPEAT


CrystalPhuong- New York Fashion Week 2017 Streetstyle- Rainbow Jumpsuit

It's that time of the year when September came, everyone in the fashion industry started planning for their New York Fashion Week trip. I was not an exception. I planned a month in advance, but when it got closer to the date, I always had a second thought. Should I stay or should I go? Although this was my third time going to New York Fashion Week, I still got butterflies in my stomach for many unnecessary reasons. 

Like the last two times, I decided to book my flight ticket at the last minute. I arrived in the Big Apple on the first day of fashion week. The city was full of energy as usual. It washed away my sleepiness and tiredness as soon as I stepped into this concrete jungle. This time, instead of spending our money on the hotel for the entire week, my friend Heidi from TheAmbitionista got us a luxurious apartment at West 57th looking over the Central Park. The view from the apartment was insanely beautiful! Here is the proof.

As soon as I got situated, I quickly changed and headed out for the first show of the day "Desigual Spring Summer 2017". Knowing that I had only an hour to get ready, I wouldn't have time to think about "What to wear." That's why I decided to restyle this rainbow jumpsuit, which I wore it once at Vietnam Fashion Week earlier this year. Besides, if I had to hide my jetlag face, a bright sequin head-to-toe outfit seemed like a good idea. 

Did I look like I'd just flown thousands of miles across the globe? You tell me.

KUALA LUMPUR FASHION WEEK 2016

KUALA LUMPUR FASHION WEEK 2016


Whenever I go on a trip, I'll try to capture as many memories as possible through my camera lens. This year, I try to film as many trips as I can, which also means that it will take me a lot more time and effort to finish a blog post. But it's worth it. With that said, you should watch my travelogue to San Francisco and Bali if you haven't done so. Please also subscribe to give me some love and support. 

Like I said in the previous blog post, I lived in Malaysia for 5 years, but I wasn't involved in the fashion industry that much. It was my first time attending Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (thanks to BloggerBabes for the invite) and it was so wonderful. I can't say enough how much I enjoyed it. 

We had a private driver picking us up at the airport. After 45 minute drive, I arrived at the hotel. Here is the bright and beautiful room that Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur prepared for us.

Look at how gorgeous this bathroom is!

Not to mention a bunch of welcome gifts from the KLFW organizer and SOME love notes from Ritz Carlton team. 


I had only 1 hour to get situated and rest before my first hair and makeup with Bobbi Brown and Loreal hair team. When we are at the fashion week, we don't rest and sometimes don't even eat. We just go, go, go. 


After hair and makeup, I walked back to the hotel room to change and get back out again for an interview with the Clozette team.

In between shows, I had a quick street style photoshoot with Ricky Hang who was hired to take care of our street styles photoshoot.

Then, we came back to Pavilion shopping mall for the second show. Loved everything I saw from this collection of a Malaysian designer.

Last show of the first night was @BettyTran, a Vietnamese Australian designer whom I'm honored to call her "Friend". Couldn't feel more proud of this Vietnamese sister. Her designs are so beautiful. You have to check her out!

For the past 3 years, KLFW was held at the Pavilion Shopping Center, the biggest shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur. I hope they'll never change the location because this view is insane.

Day 2 started at 11am. I thought I had more time to rest, but the night before ended late. We woke up late the next morning so by the time we got out of our hotel for breakfast, it was already 10am. Zoey, my assistant/photographer, and I walked to the mall nearby for breakfast and we quickly rushed to the backstage for hair and makeup again.

and this top and skirt.

But I'm obsessed with these designs from a young designer from the Philippines. I guessed she would be the winner. In the end, she came in top 3. I was pretty close, wasn't I?

The conversation was endlessly fun. I felt so grateful for this opportunity that brought me back to Malaysia and connected me with many young, beautiful, and passionate women. Inspiration truly lies everywhere if we want to take a closer look.

There is always time for a good morning bath no matter how busy a day can be. Enjoying my last few hours in Kuala Lumpur. 

Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2016- Crystal Phuong- Travel & Fashion Blogger

The world is such a big place, never stop wandering. I told myself this when I was 16 years old. Without that curious mind and passionate drive, I would never have left my country to start my own life at the young age. If I didn't do so, I wouldn't be where I am today. 

Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2016- Crystal Phuong- Travel & Fashion Blogger

I do believe that sometimes, there are many things in life that intimidate you, scare you, and sidetrack you, but as long as you keep moving and never stop dreaming, you'll eventually reach a place that is called "Success and Happiness". You might be small, but people will still notice you for what you've done. 

Thank you so much for having me once again, KL Fashion Week & Blogger Babes. 

More importantly, thank you for reading my blog and following my stories guys. I'm truly grateful. 

I can't wait to talk about the next destination in the upcoming blog post. It's my ultimate dream city to be. Guess where?
