No matter how many times I go to New York, I will always make an effort to visit the Brooklyn Bridge. This steel-wire suspension bridge has a strange power that will always inspire and motivate me greatly whenever I'm there. The endless flow of vehicles below the bridge, the beautiful Manhattan skyline on one side, the Brooklyn skyline on the other, and a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty from far, these views make anyone feel at peace instantly. Myself included. 

I visited Brooklyn Bridge for the first time last year. I was lovestruck at the moment I first stepped on the bridge. It felt as if I had finally met my childhood dream. But due to time constraints, I could only walk half of the bridge, so I made a promise to finish this walk the next time I return to New York. One year later, I was here again. This time, I not only visited the Brooklyn Bridge but also the city of Brooklyn. Evelyn, my photographer, and I didn't know where we were heading. We had no map. We didn't plan to explore Brooklyn city. We just followed the bridge and prepared ourselves that we could be either surprised or disappointed. Fifteen minutes later, Dumbo, a tiny but prominent Brooklyn neighborhood on the East River, and the Brooklyn Bridge park slowly appeared in front of our eyes. It was not a disappointment. We spent 45 minutes wandering around this place, watching a lovely couple doing their wedding photo shoot, and looking at the beautiful Manhattan skyline. A few hours walk under the hot sun was totally worth it. 

No promise made this time. Only one thought: If only I could stay here forever! Looking at these photos brings back some great memories. I miss this place so much. It hurts!

After coming back from New York, I had only two weeks in Singapore to empty my luggage and to fill it back up with new clothes for Vietnam Fashion Week (VIFW). I usually plan my outfits one month in advance for every fashion week(*no joke). Two weeks between trips left me very little time to prepare. I was a bit stressed about what to wear since I had already worn my best dresses for New York. 

Just when I needed some help the most, Revolve Clothing offered to let me pick some items from their online store. It was a game changer. Having shopped on their website for a long time, I know by heart what brands they carry, what items are hot, and when they have sales. It didn't take a long time to find a perfect dress for the opening night of VIFW. I received the dress two days before my flight. The dress fits me like a glove, no alteration needed. That's the kind of experience you'll get when you shop on the best website. 

I was so ready to make my first official appearance at the biggest event of the year in Vietnam. I'm not going to lie, there was a butterfly in my stomach when I arrived at the venue, but I quickly got over it. "Putting your best dress on and nothing else matters," I kept reminding myself.

While I'm still trying my best to finish up all the blog entries for my New York travel diary (probably four more blog posts to go), I can't help but have to cut the queue with this first outfit from VIFW. Normally, I'll publish blog entries according to the timeline and event that I attended, but this time, I have to break the rules. It was my first time attending an international fashion week in my home country, having a photo shoot with Chanh Nguyen (a very talented photographer from Vietnam) and wearing this beautiful cut-out dress given to me by Revolve Clothing. How can I resist not sharing this post with you?

Thank you so much Revolve Clothing for partnering up in this post!

One of the many reasons that makes New York Fashion Week fun and fulfilling is not only because of the beautiful collections on the runway but also the opportunity for me to discover many new fashion brands. Few Moda is one of them. 

Being a new kid on the block, compared to some giant E-commerce players like Shopbop, Nordstrom, or Stylebop, Few Moda is already taking the fashion world by storm. With a huge range of clothes and accessories, great customer service, and free worldwide delivery, they are going to make it big. I'm so excited to see what they can achieve. 

I met their team, a group of passionate and talented people, when I was in New York for fashion week. You'll never have to worry when you do businesses with people who work with all their hearts. Not to mention the amazing products that they have to offer. Beautiful pieces come with good quality yet affordable prices. Even fashion designer Zac Posen complimented this outfit that I was wearing to interview him. He said, "This is one of the best outfits I've seen the whole week" and asked me where it's from. I thanked him and happily answered: "It's from Few Moda- a fashion brand based in New York." 

Thank you so much Few Moda for spoiling me!

Hanley's Spring Summer 2016 collection is a study of discoveries and revelations, drawing on Creative Director, Nicole Hanley Mellon's reflections on a recent voyage to Havana. The collection is imbued with subtle references to her experiences, observations, and conversations in Cuba's capitol. 

Once coated in bright colors, the sundrenched, faded facades of Havana's architecture, informed this season's atypical palete. At first glance, hues may seem not to naturally correspond; brick is paired with peach, mustard with chartreuse. Worn and weathered walls, no longer white, but coated in powdery layers, provided inspiration for a unique plaster print. 

The designs, meant to be mixed and matched to comprise a complete wardrobe, expand on the sportswear brand's core values: a sense of ease, balance of propotion, texture and color and attention to detail. Every piece is designed with the intent that it be important in and of itself, and to the collection as a whole. 

My favorite piece in this #HANLEYxHavana collection has to be the multi-colored long vest. It was love at the sight.
