How many shoes did I bring to fashion week?. The answer is here. Compared to last year, I brought more heels than flat sandals as I thought I could just walk to the event venue. My hotel was only 5-minute walk from where all the shows took place this year. I ended up having to buy extra pair of sneakers as my feet hurt so bad. On the last day in New York, I couldn't resist temptation when I found a perfect pair of over-the-knee boots. As a result, I left Singapore with nine pairs of shoes and returned with eleven pairs of "treasures."

My day in New York always started at 8 am. After a delicious breakfast, I quickly got ready to head out. 

First show of the week, Francesca Liberatore. 

I quickly rushed to attend Couture Fashion Week right after the first fashion show ended. 

and then grabbed a cab back to Skylight Moynihan Station again, just in time to attend Son JungWan's fashion show. 

followed by a Rooftop party with Rewardstyle, where I got to reunite with my babe, Mijiu from Bag Girl Problems and Baxter Box, co-founder of RewardStyle.com. 

Made it just in time to meet the renowned Korean fashion designer, Mr. Lie SangBong. I first watched Mr. Lie SangBong's fashion show last year and his "Dream Road" collection completely blew my mind. I have never thought that I could have a chance to meet him in person. But on the second night in New York, this was what happened. 

Sipping on a glass of champagne while having great conversations with my one of favorite fashion designers, at his bright and beautiful boutique, this seemed too good to be true. 

My first two days in New York were already so busy and fulfilling like that. Wait until you see the next few days. 

I'll be back before you know it. 

Greetings from Phuket everyone! 

I'm back in Phuket to celebrate my "Forever21" birthday with Radisson Blu Hotel Phuket. My first date with the hotel was in June this year. I didn't expect to visit the hotel so soon (although I wished), but here I am spending the most important day of the year at one of my favorite hotels with my loved one. I can't ask for anything better than this. You have to wait to see what Radisson Blu Hotel team prepared for me. It's beyond my expectation, honestly! I'll share more in the next couple of posts. For now, here is the last day that I spent in New York shopping. 

After 8 crazy days running around town in high heels and tight dresses for fashion week, this was the only time I could dress up in a casual outfit, put on my sneakers, and be a tourist. Shopping in Manhattan is always so fun even if you don't buy anything at all. But that's not going to happen when you are at a shopping paradise. I kept reminding myself not to shop too much, but I still ended up leaving New York with an over-weighted suitcase. The white sneakers and blue top, that you see in this post, plus a pair of over-the-knees boots, one jacket, a couple of blouses, skirts, cosmetics, and some videography equipment are what I brought home with me. Perhaps, there are other things. I lost count. 

Thank you so much for reading!

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! 

Thank you so much for reading!

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!
