Function Meets Style

Details and accessories can take an outfit from plain boring to super snazzy. As seen on today’s two outfits, the elevated shoes (from Lily Aldridge’s pointy toe flats with pop of leopard to Alessandra Ambrosio’s suede espadrilles), the classic yet modern designer bags (one by Ralph Lauren and another by Gucci) and the strategically picked jewelries are what make these simple, neutral outfits inspiring and eye-catching.

In Chinese: 细节和配饰总能把即使最普通的衣服调剂得活色生香，比如今天的这两个搭配里看到的豹纹尖头鞋、麂皮草编鞋，典雅又极具现代感的设计师手包、以及精心挑选的项链、眼镜等让原本平淡的黑白灰造型时髦又养眼。

A worn-in T-shirt with well-fitting skinny jeans can be great foundation of many effortless chic outfits. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley adds a crisp printed blazer, elegant grey shoulder bag and sexy strap sandals for travel. For many of us, Light colored clothing and high heels may not on our jet set style list, but we can definitely replicate her style for casual Fridays in the office, hanging out with friends, or hopping around the city.

In Chinese: 一件做旧的舒适T恤加上修身牛仔裤是很多明星和超模街拍造型的基础，比如今天所选的罗西·汉丁顿-惠特莉(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley)的机场装扮就是在这个基本搭配上加入了清爽的印花西装外套、优雅的灰色肩背包和女人味的饰带凉鞋。浅色的外套和高跟鞋可能不是我们普通人旅行时的首选，但是我们完全可以参考这个“公式”，打造出适合休闲的办公室、和朋友聚餐或逛街等想看起来随性又有型的场合。

New Handbag Crush: Givenchy Obsedia

Even though this outfit itself best exemplified effortless chicness, it was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s newest bag that caught my eye–her enviable Givenchy Obsedia. This beauty showed up in the house’s spring/summer 2014 collection. Besides the timeless yet modern color combinations, I love how practical it is. It has a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, two compartments (one at the front with branded twist lock closure, one at the back).

My favorite part? The front flat can be tucked in for a whole new different look, which also means that you can carry it with the logo or logo free, kinda like the Luis Vuitton Capucines, but costs less than half as much. And does the sophisticated palettes remind you of Celine Trapeze? Will ‘Obsedia’ be the new ‘Antigona’?

In Chinese: 今天的这个造型简约随性又不失女人味，但最吸引我的还是罗西·汉丁顿-惠特莉(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley)的新款手袋：来自纪梵希2014春夏系列的“Obsedia”。一露面就迅速打败“Antigona”，成为了我愿望清单里排在首位的包包。它的造型和色彩兼具古典和摩登气息。可拆卸也可以调整长度的肩背带以及前后两个隔间大大提升了它的实用性。

最让我倾心的设计细节是它前面像信封一样的翻面可以折进去，不但有了完全不同的新感觉，而且提供了显示品牌标识和不显示两种选择，对于我这种不喜欢Logo, 在很多场合更不想让包包识别度太高的人来说再合适不过。这个设计非常像路易·威登的‘ Capucines’，但价格还不到一半。另外它的优雅的拼色设计也让我想起了另一款总是被一抢而空的IT包–赛琳的‘Trapeze’。你觉得这个包会成为下一个炙手可热的’Antigona‘吗？
