Oh... Hi there Spring season ~

Hi there Spring season,

There is nothing as warm, as bright, as comfortable as the sunshine in Spring season.  Spring is the season of green, season of blossom, and season of re-juvenile, so "be like flowers, turn your face to the sun" ...

It had been a long winter in Denver, Colorado. I enjoyed waking up in the morning, and first thing I saw outside of my window was snow sticking on the pine trees' branches. However, it is time for Spring season. Although I am having this high Spring season's spirit but the weather in Denver is not quiet that "Spring" yet. Temperature is still in mid 40 - 50*F. It's still a bit too cold to wear a nice, spring-y floral dress. 

Anyways, I just scored a linen short from Forever 21 just for $13.90 and couldn't wait to show it off. But again, I still had to keep myself warm so I decided to wear it with my Zara knit with a Forever 21 trench coat. Both of these items were from last season (I had a thing for cable knit sweater during this past winter, and I think I still do). Ohhh and the boots, I had them for a while now but this was definitely first time worn. They're Ivanka Trump, Keiran Ankle boots (Ivanka Trump's footwear are really really comfortable, I enjoyed wearing every single pairs of boots/flats I owned).  

The background looked like a suburb to me but this field was actually right behind where my parents live.  It took me and my brother about two minutes walk to get there. We grew up in this neighborhood. I remembered there was a massive snow storm a few year back. It was this very same field that was covered in snow, completely white-out beautifully. I made my brother to come out, dived into the snow to take pictures of me playing in with the snow. He said he couldn't recall but how could I? Anyways, here, us two again, at the very same field, tried to capture some more good photos in the very same field. The only difference was the field now full of sunshine instead of snow. (^.~)

Stripes on the move...

Hi there again,

I forgot that I haven't mentioned my name. My name is Hien, friends call me Hiennie [pronounced Hēən-nie ~]. I'm living in mile-high city, Denver.

It has been a week since my last post and I wished I could have written more. Unfortunately, as of right now, my working schedule is conflicted with my brother's school schedule. As you know, my brother is my only photographer and the only day we can go out for a shoot is on a Sunday. We are trying to figure out another way, well, anyways that will work for both of us. Yayyy to spring break which is coming up next week, he will get the entire week off.

Today, we drove down south on Interstate-25 and we came across a pedestrian crossing bridge above the highway. I couldn't recall how many time I drove down on this interstate, almost everyday, twice a day when I was still in college. However, today this bridge stood out and caught my eyes. It could be the sun shined above the bridge, or it could be many pedestrians who were crossing the bridge, I don't know but a second after I drove by, my brother and I decided to go there for our shoot today.

I have lived in Denver for quite a long time, but I didn't realize there are so many places in Denver I have never been to. By doing fun photo shoots, and getting a start on my blog helps me getting some good downtime with my little brother. He is eight years younger than me. It used to be so hard to talk and to find a connection to him. But lately, I have found another side of my teenage brother, he is talented. I know I just got started and it will probably take a while to have some audience to stop by but my brother has been fully supported and given me some really good idea for my photo shoot.

We drove around the city to find a good site for our shoot, and goodness, exploring the city was so much fun and full of surprising. Anyways, it was a sunny day, wind blew strong but again, we both enjoyed the view and our shoot (still working on the quality, and my own postures ~ I still looked so awkward in front of the camera). Today, I had such a big mood for stripes. As you know, stripes has been a hot trend a year round. Only if I had a longer leg, I would love to fill my closet up with stripe clothings.  ~~~ WISHING I WAS just 2inches TALLER~~~

Today's details:

~ H&M Woven stripes and glittery threads Blazer

~ Zara ankle stripe heel sandals

~ Forever 21 Striped skinny jeans

~ Michael Kors Ceramic Runway (Old) - (Similar here)

~ Rayban Classic Wayfarer XL

Thank you so much for reading!

Rise, Bright and Shine

Happy Sunday everyone,

Today was quite nice compared to yesterday. Sunny, blue sky and temperature was in mid 40*F. You can feel Spring season is in the air. Thus, I decided to go have my very first photo shoot with my brother. Today was definitely the first. I love taking pictures but putting myself in front of a camera, trying to have some good natural postures was difficult. And my brother, he is still learning photography so we both were struggling at finding the right light setting, background and angles for the shoot. However, we HAD lots of fun. BTW, my brother is only 15 year old so please give him some credits. 

Here are my very first photos from today, (well very first photos as blogging, ever). I'm sorry if the qualities aren't there yet but again, I promise they will get better.  

Details:
-H&M Blazer $29.99
-H&M Denim Khaki-green blouse $35.95
-H&M zipper trouser $29.95
-Zara combination high heel sandal $49.90

Yeeh, Just go for it!

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place" ~ Nora Roberts. 

I found this quote on one of my all-time favorite blogger's Instagram, SongofStyle. 
30 seconds later, Theory.In.Style breezed through my mind and here I am, writing my very first blog. 

Fashion is a classy imaginary, and a theory to be defined by one individual. (You can't never have enough for fashion. An industry that is to inspire and to be inspired,  fashion never sleeps, I just can't have enough, can you? )

Travel is a gracious pleasure, and a journey to expand one's wisdom and perspective to your surrounding.(You can't be close minded when you have a lot of stamps on your passport, right? ^.~)

Thus, Fashion and Travel will be the two topics on my blog.

I am a new bird. I'm new to writing so therefore, I'm gratefully open to everyone's suggestions comment and idea. (I'm still figuring a way how to work and to interpret html to post picture on my blog). I PROMISE IT WILL GET BETTER.

Athens, Greece 

~ Athens, Greece (over look the ancient Acropolis) ~

         ~ At the entrance to the Acropolis, over look the Temple of Nike, temple of victory)~
                     - Nine West Vintage America Vasosie Boot
                     - Juicy Couture coat 
                     - Forever 21 Denim                      
                     - Zara scarf
   
We visited Athens at the end of December of last year. It was quite cold actually. I knew I had to hike all the way to the top so I picked jeans, and boots. 

Every column, every temple, every step was marble. The Acropolis was built in 5th century BC, the marble was beautiful, shiny, and of course very slippery. I actually slipped, fell flat on my bottom than back, TWICE. (Be-careful ladies !)

Alright, that's it for the first post.

Loves,
