A few weeks ago we got the chance to style <a href="http://joysangalangdesigns.com/#communion" target="_blank">COMMUNION by Joy Sangalang</a>'s look book photo shoot with Krista of Krista Mason Photography and Jane Suh of Kutting Room. As always we had a blast working with Krista and Jane and it was nice to work with Joy for the first time. We can't wait to see all the images that Krista photographed but for now here are some behind the scenes photos.<br />

He had a HUGE photo shoot to do this past Friday with Models Kerry Degman, Brooke Bonelli and Actor Trevor Donovan for 3 separate cover shoots for the Magazine. So I was honored when he asked me if I could come help out for the day.<br /><br />It was definitely a fun shoot and it was great working with Warren as a fellow Fashion Stylist vs. just a Model. He has grand ideas and it was great to be able to mix together our creative juices. I can't wait to see the finished images and would love to work with Warren, as well as the rest of the Bello Mag team again!<br /><br />Thanks again Annie for referring me, as well as all your support and Warren for having me join your team for the day!<br /><br />Xx<br />j<br /><br />P.S. enjoy some behind the scenes/sneak peek images from the photo shoot below.

So when my parents started talking about remodeling their home, right away I started researching and gathered ideas for them.<br /><br />One of the things my parents need to update is their front door (The yellow, blue and while stained glass really dates their home). So while I was surfing the web for different front door ideas I came across my future front door for our future home. I'm absolutely in LOVE!!<br /><br />The color of the door will have to depend on the over all look of the house but I adore the classic but modern-esq look and feel of it.<br /><br />Now we have to find a house for that door. ha!<br /><br />{source: <a href="http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/NYSDhouse/milesredd.php">new york social diary</a>}<br /><br />xx<br />jjen nunn-iwaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537505746354361393noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094257148711758960.post-59612553051328560772011-06-29T10:00:00.000-07:002011-06-29T11:46:08.848-07:00LOOK FOR LESS: [lanvin dress | ss rtw 2010 | look 13]I know it's been a little while since I've posted a Look For Less but when I saw this one I knew I had to share it with you guys... Especially with my loving obsession with the Lanvin esthetic.<br /><br />So this weeks LFL is from Lanvin's Spring 2010 Ready to Wear collection and although I wasn't able to find the exact price on the Lanvin dress, I know from experience that the dress most likely had a price tag of $2500-3500+ regular price.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0uBfSWL24ZM/TgpIaK9lbGI/AAAAAAAAAh4/0nveKEp2I1U/s1600/NBD_LFL_09.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 503px; height: 396px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0uBfSWL24ZM/TgpIaK9lbGI/AAAAAAAAAh4/0nveKEp2I1U/s1600/NBD_LFL_09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623386699181943906" border="0" /></a><br />This Look For Less is by Alice & Olivia, which they like to call the Melanie Halter Dress for $368. I think it's a great alternative to Lanvin's Spring 2010 RTW look minus the expensive price tag. It's still a little on pricey side but it has a nice fit and to me it's a classic piece. (the photo doesn't really do it justice.)<br /><br />Until next time...<br />xx<br />j<br /><br />{source: <a href="http://shop.aliceandolivia.com/product/melanie-halter-dress/">alice + olivia</a>, <a href="http://style.com/">style.com</a>}jen nunn-iwaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537505746354361393noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094257148711758960.post-42965035606529173262011-06-21T11:43:00.000-07:002011-06-21T12:50:38.231-07:00FASHION: [versace | for | h&m]Hi my lovelies!<br /><br />So today I found out who the next designer collaboration for H&M will be...

I can't wait to see what else the collection will bring. My personal style doesn't really go with what Versace is all about but from what I see so far from these photos, I can definitely make some of them work.<br /><br />STYLING TIP: Never buy something just going based off the designer/brand name!<br />Just because something is made by a designer/brand doesn't always make it fashionable and fabulous for everyone and anyone. You should always spend you money on pieces that fit you will, and fit into your style. Always look for quality, fit, style and longevity. Spending money on "trendy" pieces isn't very smart (unless you're rich), spending it on the classic quality pieces that will last a while is always smart. Also, just like buying based off the designer brand names... fallowing every trend isn't a must. If you want to fallow a trend, be sure to pick and choose and make it fit into your own style otherwise you'll come out looking like you're trying way too hard.<br /><br />{source: <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/daily/110621-versace-collaborates-with-hm/gallery.aspx#/imageno/2">vogue.co.uk</a>, <a href="http://hm.com">hm.com</a>}<br /><br />Until next time...<br />xx<br />jjen nunn-iwaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537505746354361393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094257148711758960.post-90645771249934484512011-06-13T16:06:00.001-07:002011-06-13T16:40:02.079-07:00FASHION: [lanvin | kids | resort 2012]Lanvin's Creative Director, Alber Elbaz debuted the new addition to the Lanvin family earlier today at the end of his <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/2012RST-LANVIN">Resort 2012</a> show in New York.... GIRLS CLOTHES!!<br /><br />Those of you that know me and/or have been fallowing my blog, know that Lanvin is one of my all time favorite designers. So when I heard that Alber Elbaz was adding kids clothes to the Lanvin family, I was super excited. It makes me kind of want to have a baby girl, ha! I hope Lanvin comes out with boys clothes as well. It's so hard to find super cute boys clothes vs. girls clothes... so I hear!<br /><br />But one word describes this little girls collection...

Being that Dylan is half Korean (half Chinese), it's in the Korean culture to throw a huge "wedding-like" 1st birthday party called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doljanchi">Doljabi</a>. In the past, there were high death rates in Korea and it was a milestone for the babies who were able to make it to their 1st birthdays. So when a baby made it to 12 month the whole town would come together to celebrate and that tradition is carried on to this day.<br /><br />But with a baby who's already running around (yes, running!) before he turned 1, my friend Mina had her work cut out for her. As you can only imagine it was hard for her to get everything done by herself with an active baby around. So I was more than happy when she took me up on my offer to help out. I love to plan parties, it's so much fun!... minus the cost of everything. lol<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKaIJlWD_4tBWfKIZFPU6WUC_NOS514PZQxypJ6Vt42OBmLhMbSsqtpFa__R-ZRoimXp4Ou4bnfi_nvwg52PY7-fQr40b3i_oXy9QlIn1bbSATbv1-2Jb6dMsS2bXFQf4zfNTWkaWXqS8/s640/Dylan03.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 208px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKaIJlWD_4tBWfKIZFPU6WUC_NOS514PZQxypJ6Vt42OBmLhMbSsqtpFa__R-ZRoimXp4Ou4bnfi_nvwg52PY7-fQr40b3i_oXy9QlIn1bbSATbv1-2Jb6dMsS2bXFQf4zfNTWkaWXqS8/s640/Dylan03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The party planning process started out with picking the theme and Mina decided to have a vintage circus theme. Which I think was super cute and genius. It was kid-like but yet still for the adults as well. She then purchased some cute DIY vintage circus printables & invitations by <a href="http://thecandytree.com.au/shop/vintage-circus-c-2_24.html">The Candy Tree</a>. From there I was able to create, manipulate and edit the files to work perfectly for the party. As well as any additional graphic that we needed to tie everything together.<br /><br />As for the venue, they chose the beautiful <a href="http://www.southcoastbotanicgarden.org/">South Coast Botanical Gardens</a> with a huge open grass area which was perfect are for the kids to run around and play. I didn't think we'd even use the whole area but the kids took full advantage of the space.<br /><br />I don't know about you but when I think of a circus, one of the first things I think of are those red and white tents. And what would a circus themed party be without those tents, right?! It would just be another party with balloon and food. One of my biggest suggestions for the party was to somehow pulling off the look of red and white tenting on a budget. Luckily, the <a href="http://www.southcoastbotanicgarden.org/">South Coast Botanical Gardens</a> area that they had picked out already had a wooden awning that we were able to hang things from. From there we did our research on how we could pull this look off without blowing their whole budget on just the tenting and Mina came up with the great idea of using the table covers that come in rolls... genius! With the tent, 30" balloons, signage and all the other little details a wonderful vintage circus 1st birthday party for Dylan was made.<br /><br />Most of the planning was Mina and I just gave her my suggestions and ideas that were based off her original ideas. So great job, Mina! I think we made a great team along with the help of all of our friends and pulled off an amazing party for her son, Dylan's 1st birthday. It was so rewarding when we were all setting up for the party and people were coming by asking if we were event planners because it looked so nice and professional. Maybe Mina and I have a new career path in our future. ha ha!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP2J9sd__ip9vP49SXVkojsZ6sBRxuqExc8B9ZIW3vsCtm6Tl2ADZyQ7J4c3druIshvvvLidbMud5OwIEBwejJLS3gMT8j5iuB4XMjl-Up6pabw-nBUFfs8Q7ue8JMaCn4ng1uYWYOaCc/s640/Dylan04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP2J9sd__ip9vP49SXVkojsZ6sBRxuqExc8B9ZIW3vsCtm6Tl2ADZyQ7J4c3druIshvvvLidbMud5OwIEBwejJLS3gMT8j5iuB4XMjl-Up6pabw-nBUFfs8Q7ue8JMaCn4ng1uYWYOaCc/s640/Dylan04.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpN-wcJSa-S3dJg2M3D31sT0TIEzbFJ2Q7vJIgKXHi1_KxMBcxS0iUEhcTtI9vmxKpJc1eDs-CX0kV-NEMJ8IgKTHLkBvyv_E5zoW4n8hy-zpn8THePF-FB1jdxKnCEOdlCuEpJGPxw18/s640/Dylan05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpN-wcJSa-S3dJg2M3D31sT0TIEzbFJ2Q7vJIgKXHi1_KxMBcxS0iUEhcTtI9vmxKpJc1eDs-CX0kV-NEMJ8IgKTHLkBvyv_E5zoW4n8hy-zpn8THePF-FB1jdxKnCEOdlCuEpJGPxw18/s640/Dylan05.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUYMglcJzQSzzwmOjh8HVzyjhFc-yWyBiW7ZRedecRKS1yHiiEq2yqD0h0aDMW0tijA4esRucDsMCLf7hIXHJjoFd1mJru-Ztai58vP-1ovjY60C0GEMz6kwnRw1zkClWosBouqJt84c/s640/Dylan08.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUYMglcJzQSzzwmOjh8HVzyjhFc-yWyBiW7ZRedecRKS1yHiiEq2yqD0h0aDMW0tijA4esRucDsMCLf7hIXHJjoFd1mJru-Ztai58vP-1ovjY60C0GEMz6kwnRw1zkClWosBouqJt84c/s640/Dylan08.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/227398_10150181045983897_615228896_6929725_7709652_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 373px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/227398_10150181045983897_615228896_6929725_7709652_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/230917_10150181051513897_615228896_6929819_2891105_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 373px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/230917_10150181051513897_615228896_6929819_2891105_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225178_10150181052793897_615228896_6929843_3311926_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 320px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225178_10150181052793897_615228896_6929843_3311926_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225818_10150181053588897_615228896_6929859_1867963_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225818_10150181053588897_615228896_6929859_1867963_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/222695_10150181060678897_615228896_6929975_7378472_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 373px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/222695_10150181060678897_615228896_6929975_7378472_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO7x5ou3yf9Iuf8iv4RNdrGOTWSrhkh-cne2S3FuRQZ8qVNHBOBpcXB4XWCCbAklYbRuNBkvicVPVGwkF2UigIwjsacnP7bYij2JhYo8H_05Nbw-BBIycAwTkuaSYH2lYX7gN5ziJ4muo/s640/Dylan19.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO7x5ou3yf9Iuf8iv4RNdrGOTWSrhkh-cne2S3FuRQZ8qVNHBOBpcXB4XWCCbAklYbRuNBkvicVPVGwkF2UigIwjsacnP7bYij2JhYo8H_05Nbw-BBIycAwTkuaSYH2lYX7gN5ziJ4muo/s640/Dylan19.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />To see more photo and vendors Mina used go to <a href="http://kristamason.blogspot.com/2011/05/dylan-1st-birthday-event-pals-verdes.html">Krista Mason Photography's blog</a>.<br /><br />PS. the Balloon Twister: David Nguyen is absolutely life of the party and the best Balloon Twister i've ever seen.

I know I sure did. This past Saturday, <a href="http://www.gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a> asked me to co-style their Fall 2011 and Spring/Summer 2012 photo shoot with the amazing Ed Choi up at the <a href="http://www.stahlhouse.com/">Stahl House</a> in the Hollywood Hills <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/247436_10150194079179503_8070709502_7054886_6534264_n.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 163px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/247436_10150194079179503_8070709502_7054886_6534264_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>(photographed on the right). I was extremely excited and honored that they had asked me to help style they're shoot. On top of never really focusing on just men's styling before, I was also excited to be able to work with all of <a href="http://www.gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a>'s amazing men's accessories (neck pins, tie pins, tie bars, pocket squares, bow ties (new) and neck ties).<br /><br />It's definitely a lot easier to style a shoot when you believe in the product, as well as the brand's vision. What I love about <a href="http://www.gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a> is their effortless, classic with a modern take on men's accessories and of course their attention to details. I think that more men should start investing in their accessories. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that I see more men out their wearing tie bars but how about adding a little more character to the accessories?! Like <a href="http://gentryman.com/store/fitzgerald.html">GENTRY's </a><a href="http://gentryman.com/store/fitzgerald.html">Fitzgerlad collection</a>. This is probably by far my favorite collection from <a href="http://www.gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a>. I'm in love with the Carraway set and the clock tie pin is my all time <a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/249670_10150194079129503_8070709502_7054885_5311603_n.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/249670_10150194079129503_8070709502_7054885_5311603_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>favorite.<br /><br />ATTENTION ALL MEN: please start wearing tie pins, I love them more than tie bars (but I love tie bars too). It's a nice suttle touch of character to an outfit and I LOVE that! All you need is just a little detail to finish a look. As shown in the photo on the left on the handsome Warren Baker, the face of <a href="http://www.gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a>. Which is actually a sneak peek pic at one of the looks from the shoot for <a href="http://www.gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a>'s Fall 2011 campaign.<br /><br />Ok enough about my love for <a href="http://gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a> and men's accessories... Now back to the photo shoot. We started off the day shooting <a href="http://gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a>'s Spring/Summer 2012 collections. Since Spring/Summer is more vibrant and colorful, it was only natural to start off the day with the SS collection. Which I personally had the most fun with styling wise (I think Ed did as well). In the Spring collection we also wanted to show people that men's accessories didn't have to be tied down to suits and evening wear. As you'll be able to see a little peek at in the behind the scenes photos below.

Photographed by Carl Lindstorm<br /><br />After we wrapped the SS shoot at the Stahl House around 3pm, it was time for the Fall 2011 shoot. Unfortunately, I was wrapped up in the shoot that I completely forgot to take some behind the scenes photos for the Fall collection but I'm sure the one with Warren in the top left is good enough for you guys. However, here is a photo of all of us at the end of the day.<br /><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250076_10150194064169503_8070709502_7054634_7221818_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 502px; height: 338px;" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250076_10150194064169503_8070709502_7054634_7221818_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Crew photo from <a href="http://gentryman.com/">GENTRY</a>'s Fall 2011 photo shoot at the Stahl House.<br /><br />Co-founders: Ms. Imamura & Mr. Sato<br />Photographer: Everette Perry & his assistants<br />Fashion Stylist: Jen Nunn-Iwai & Ed Choi<br />Groomer: Jonathan Colombini<br />Models: Warren Baker, Alex Ulvsgard & Jonathan Isaiah<br /><br />All-in-all it was an amazing day with amazing people and an amazing view!

Good thing i didn't because now I can make it myself with <a href="http://www.madebylex.com/2009/11/large-layered-flower-pin-how-to.html">Made By Lex's</a> How-To. love!!<br /><br />xoxo<br />jjen nunn-iwaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537505746354361393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094257148711758960.post-14253064018946804412011-03-28T15:00:00.000-07:002011-03-28T15:00:02.711-07:00LOOK FOR LESS: [azzedine alaia | cut out | sandals]Hello Lovelies!<br /><br />This weeks LFL goes to Azzedine Alaia's cut out sandals. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the flat versions of the sandals online but i was able to find the high heel version.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VF7Wj2fBUWA/TWtEZ_eIP3I/AAAAAAAAAgY/8P7_2jdn7iI/s1600/NBD_LFL_06.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VF7Wj2fBUWA/TWtEZ_eIP3I/AAAAAAAAAgY/8P7_2jdn7iI/s1600/NBD_LFL_06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578627776753713010" border="0" /></a>For those of you that know Alaia, know that the cut out is what they're known for. The replicas are made by <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=35977&vid=1&pid=853601&scid=853601002">Joe's</a> and <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-paiigge-gladiator-sandal/3142523?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=steve_madden_%27paiigge%27_gladiator_sandal:333266&cm_pla=shoes:women:sandals/slides&cm_ven=Froogle&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=D9D13A03-AD37-E011-997F-001517B1882A">Steve Madden</a>. Obviously you get for what you pay for and when it comes to the replicas you can tell that <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=35977&vid=1&pid=853601&scid=853601002">'Leo Cut out' by Joe's</a> is definitely nicer looking than the <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-paiigge-gladiator-sandal/3142523?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=steve_madden_%27paiigge%27_gladiator_sandal:333266&cm_pla=shoes:women:sandals/slides&cm_ven=Froogle&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=D9D13A03-AD37-E011-997F-001517B1882A">Steve Madden 'Paiigge's'</a>. But if you're on a budget and like the Alaia-esq look go for the steve madden, definitely a look for less.<br /><br />xoxo<br />jjen nunn-iwaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08537505746354361393noreply@blogger.com0
