Today’s featured ladies showed this spring’s key words: crop, flare, floral, art, pink, white and futuristic. I also love how they rocked the crop top trend in a tasteful way by teaming with high-waisted shorts and skirt, respectively. The floral car coat and edgy leather jacket also help balance the sexiness.

In Chinese: 这一季春夏的很多流行元素都集合在今天的这两个造型里了：短款的剪裁、女性化的线条、花朵的图案、艺术品般的视觉冲击以及色彩上的粉、白等等。对于持续大热的露脐装，学学她们，配上高腰的短裤或伞裙，把露肤度拿捏得恰到好处。箱型外套或硬朗的机车皮衣也很好地平衡了短打装的性感。

Bold floral pieces have the uplifting power. But how to make these Granny’s favorite modern and chic? Jessica Alba & Kyleigh Kuhn showed us in two different ways:

Jessica Alba went for a more-is-more approach by pairing her floral pull over with a statement necklace and colored handbag. It works because all these bold pieces are close to each other, thus they won’t compete for attention.

Kyleigh Kuhn turned in another direction by offsetting her floral top with slouchy boyfriend jeans and edgy peep toe booties. Her ‘less is more’ aesthetic is reflected through her clean updo, fresh makeup and minimal jewelry.

In Chinese: 花朵图案总能提升我们的情绪，尤其在阴郁的秋冬。但是穿不好，会显得老气。怎样搭配出年轻和潮味呢？看看Jessica Alba 和 Kyleigh Kuhn的这两身造型吧！

Jessica Alba的look体现了今年流行的“多且繁”的搭配潮流，把原本已经够花的上衣配上了大的项链和彩色的手包。成立的关键在于这几样抢眼的单品都集中在一起，避免了“不知道该看哪儿”的视觉上的纷乱感。Kyleigh Kuhn则是一副典型的超模私下的街拍造型：一件抢眼的时尚单品配上衣柜中旧的牛仔裤，清新的妆发和极简的配饰体现了她‘少即多’的时尚态度。

Grown-up Whims: Graphic Sweatshirt

The one thing I admire greatly about top designers is their ability to lead us toward the territory we could never have imagined, present us clothes we never think of but would deeply feel in love with. Take graphic sweatshirts for example, it is until Riccardo Tisci introduced bambi print on his Fall 2013 runway, we suddenly realized that we need a printed sweatshirt in our closet, one that can bring back our sweet childhood memory, can express our emotions, or just want to add a cool, edgy, whimsical touch to our outfits.

In Chinese: 杰出的设计师总是能把我们带到从未尝试过的新领域，呈现给我们那些我们自己从未想过，但是却再也离不开的单品。拿这一季最热的卡通动漫图案的运动衫来说吧，如果不是在Riccardo Tisci 为Givenchy设计的2013秋冬系列中看到小鹿斑比出现，我可能根本不会意识到我的衣柜里缺少一件这样有趣的单品。很多高端和高街品牌也相继推出了各种各样的印花运动衫，它们是冬天厚重毛衣的最佳替代品，保暖的同时，这些有趣图案或者勾起了我们童年的美好回忆，或者能表达我们当下的情绪，给我们沉闷的秋冬装扮注入了活力。
