Wearing a Black Maxi Dress to an Evening Wedding

I had a wedding reception to attend and hadn't gotten to wear my 16thColony Paragone Dress, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity. Since it had quite the deep v and the reception was more on the conservative side, I decided to take the straps and tie them into a bow in front instead of around the back of my neck. Shop the dress and the rest of the Enigma Collection here, use code 'FFFBOHOBABES' and receive 20% off your entire purchase! I hope everyone has an amazing weekend! I'll be in Palm Springs this weekend, follow my instagram and snapchat @amandat_nguyen for a good time.

Stevie Sister Matching Floral Halter and Maxi Skirt

While celebrating boutique Modern Romance's 21st Birthday at the Fashion Island Shopping Center in Newport Beach, I not only got to meet the lovely owner Theresa, but she let me take a couple of pieces home from her new line Steve Sister (which has officially launched during the event).

Her line is a mix of flowy and feminine boho styles and retro silhouettes with a luxe vibe. I loved the fit of both the halter and skirt, and that there were details such as the oversized sash that tied the back of the halter together and the double slits on the skirt.

To contrast the pink and brown hues of the print, I wore a turquoise statement necklace that I had also received from Theresa in the Modern Romance goody bag that she gave me. Visit Modern Romance and Stevie Sister to shop!

Ocean Dance in Pia Gladys Perey

I instantly felt like an princess or some fantastical creature while wearing one of Shawna's floral crowns, although I had asked her to put together a leafier crown, I didn't feel any less enchanting. Especially since we were shooting at the beautiful and majestic Lost Winds Beach in San Clemente, and I was wearing this deep green gown from Pia Gladys Perey. I also shot in two of her other dresses here and here. We got a bit more adventurous with this gown and I went into the water to attempt to capture movement. Pia Gladys Perey has an array of gowns and dresses for a bride or bridal party, I love how this gown in particular is draped and very elegant; it would serve well for a fall or winter bridesmaid's dress. And Shawna is a wonderful lifestyle, events, fashion, and bridal photographer; check out her work or book her here!Photos taken by Bleudog Fotography

Vintage White Lace Tunic

I met with Joelle, photographer and owner of etsy vintage shop Vita Girl Vintage, and was stoked to get to work together because a) Joelle is a super rad person (with rad style) and photographer (she has an amazing creative eye) b) I love vintage clothing and was excited to see the goods first hand c) I got to shoot in a few vintage pieces (and take them home too). The first look features this lace tunic which I styled with rust colored 'mom' (high-waisted) shorts underneath, my fringe booties, and a few pieces of turquoise and camel-colored jewelry. I felt like a boho princess frolicking and dancing through the forest. The lace piece is perfect for a hot summer day, and I have two more looks coming your way but in the meantime, go shop Vita Girl Vintage for your perfect vintage piece!
