You may have noticed that pretty pastels like baby blue, powder pink, lavender, buttercup yellow, which are usually associated with spring, take center stage this fall. These beautiful, feminine colors soften heavy fabrics and lighten up our winter days.

The key to wearing pastels in fall/winter is combining them with familiar dark colors and rich shades like black, brown, burgundy and hunt green.

If you are not ready to commit to this trend, as always, start with accessories, like the baby blue tote spotted on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley here.

In Chinese: 你可能也已经留意到了,那些常在春夏看到的粉嫩的马卡龙色席卷了今年秋冬的T台,像冰蓝、浅粉、淡紫、鹅黄等。这些轻柔的颜色冲淡了毛呢的厚重感,也点亮了萧瑟暗沉的秋冬。

搭配这些颜色的关键在于平衡,引入这些淡雅的流行色的同时保留我们熟悉的秋冬的大地色系比如灰黑棕等,或浓郁的酒红、墨绿。像所有的流行趋势一样,如果你不确定自己是不是喜欢,是不是能驾驭,就从小的配件开始尝试,比如在上一篇博文里看到的超模Rosie Huntington-Whiteley所做的,提一个粉蓝色的手包来点亮整身的黑色造型。

Fall Party Looks: Mustard Yellow & Emerald Green

With countless holiday parties lie ahead, choosing the right dresses definitely stays at the top of my to-do-list. Festival colors like bright red & metallic, and jewelry tones like amethyst purple & rich claret are all great options for cold season.

I especially love mustard yellow and color of the year-emerald green, so I have to feature these two looks of Blake Lively spotted at fashion week. Besides my favorite colors, the dresses on her also incorporate some hottest elements this season like leather and embellishment.

For dresses in autumnal hues, team them with warm tone accessories, like a gold bracelet, a burnt-orange bag, burgundy or rich brown stiletto for picturesque fall looks.

In Chinese: 到了年底,少不了要参加各种各样的派对,穿什么永远是摆在最前面的问题。节日感强的红色或金属色,浓郁的宝石色等其实都是秋冬不错的选择。我最喜欢的是活泼中又不失稳重感的芥末黄今年大热的翡翠绿。所以当我看到Blake Lively在刚过去的时装周期间穿的这两条裙子时,一下子爱上它们了。它们不但是我最喜欢的秋冬颜色,而且还结合了好些本季的流行元素像彩色的皮革以及星星点点的宝石装饰等。

像这样的裙装,配饰也选择暖色调为好,比如金色或玫瑰金的手环暗橘色的手包酒红深棕色的高跟鞋等。

Outfit-Maker: Statement Skirts

An outfit that mixes something opulent and exquisite with pieces that are austere, plain or casual is what I always love and get inspired by. Today’s featured outfits of Blake Lively & Jamie Chung above perfectly interpreted that:

Highlight a bold, embellished eye-catching skirt with neutral, understated pieces and minimal accessories, resulting a pulled-together yet effortless chic outfit. After all, we are in this era with blurred borders. (I knew it was a dress on Blake Lively, but you got my point)

An outfit that exudes a bit of everything–modern, sharp, sensual, laid-back, sometimes a little sporty–is not only attractive but also practical too:  A tailored blazer and structured satchel can make this combo office-friendly; A flat or sneaker with a bomber jacket and baseball cap can transform it into day-time chic look, and the list goes on…

In Chinese: 混搭衣橱里已有的单品,尤其是那些乍看起来不属于一个“世界”的,是我平时最喜欢看到的搭配,也是给我灵感最多的。这样的组合不仅令人耳目一新,而且能最大限度地增加每件单品的使用频率。

在参加派对或其它重要的社交场合时,一条有装饰感和设计感的裙子必不可少,搭配同样华丽的上装往往显得太过正式、繁复,而且缺乏新意,选择一件简约的白衬衫或者T恤反而清新自然,脱颖而出。

这么美的裙子当然不能只留在“重要场合”穿,其实搭配上利落的西装外套和公文包,就能给无聊的上班着装增加些风情,换上帆布鞋和今季大热的棒球帽,就能轻松自信地应对周末的各种休闲场合了。
