On New Year’s Eve, I always want to wear something glittering & sparkle. Not only do they bring cheerness and joy, but also they bring me the excitement of the unknown, the courage to conquer what lies ahead.

Pair them with the accessories in the same tone to enhance the overall impact. As you can see above, 23 year-old Taylor Swift and 30 year-old Kate Bosworth gave metallics their own spin: one is tough and sexy while the other is demure and graceful. What will you wear?

In Chinese: 每年的跨年派对，我总喜欢穿一些闪亮的东西，比如亮片、金属等，穿起来不但很有节日气氛，而且能带给我对新一年的期盼和兴奋，它们仿佛是我的战袍，穿上它们，就有了勇气面对来年的新挑战。

跨年的时候怎么搭配都不过分，所以配饰、鞋子和手包等也大胆地选择同色系的金属来搭吧!这种“整套”的搭法这一季正流行，就像上面Taylor Swift和Kate Bosworth 所“示范”的一样。而且从她们的搭配也可以看出，金属、亮片也可以很多面哦：20出头的Taylor Swift的装扮酷帅又性感，30+的Kate Bosworth则把亮片穿得优雅乖巧。你跨年打算穿什么呢？

Winter White: One Top, Two Ways

Earlier this summer, before I got my hands on, the suede scallop top Kate Bosworth designed for Topshop was sold out everywhere. So this time, when the all-round style icon collaborated with Topshop again, I marked my calendar and got this white leather sweater as you can see on both of her looks above. I love how she chose white leather to add a fresh and edgy twist on the right-on-trend sweatshirt.

Compared to the last festival-themed collection, The Collection Starring Kate Bosworth truly reflects the star’s personal aesthetic: well-balanced modern simplicity and the perfect mixing of feminine and masculine.

The above two looks showed us how she mixes high street with high fashion, balances trends with basics, offsets eye-catching statements with quiet neutrals, and restyles the same piece for different occasions.

In Chinese: 今年夏天，我最后悔错过的一个单品是Kate Bosworth为Topshop设计的音乐节系列中的一件麂皮镂空上衣，在我决定下单子的时候，所有的店面已经全部卖光了。所以当我听说她会再次为Topshop推出一个秋冬系列时，就锁定了其中的一件白色的皮质运动上衣（就是你在她的这两个造型里看到的这一件），这次再也不会错过了。

其实相比上次她特意为音乐节设计的单品，我更喜欢这次的这个系列，和她简约帅性又不失女人味的个人风格很接近，每一件都是值得收藏，不会过时的经典，线条和颜色很简单，又很有态度。

她上面的这两个look里就包含了好几件她这次设计的作品，看似简单的造型混搭了设计师的单品和人人都买得起的高街品牌，用简单低调的色彩平衡了图纹、金属等抢眼的元素，通过变换配饰让一件相同的单品适合不同的场合。

In Part Three, we shared the versatile yet stylish summer shorts: white denim cutoffs. Today, I want to talk about its innocent ‘sister’: white lace shorts.

Lace is so delicate and feminine, often associated with special occasions like wedding, or used in home decor. For daily wear, we may see it most in undergarments and sleepwear. Wearing it out, especially daytime appropriate, can be tricky.

My favorite way to style lace shorts is with a military shirt or leather jacket. But when it’s sweltering outside, pairing them with a crisp white top or airy tank is a better idea, like today’s featured ladies did, also as a nod to the white on white trend this season.

For girly and romantic outfits like these, accessories are key to get balanced, be it a tough ankle boot, rich earthy brown bag or futuristic mirror sunglasses. They give the look a more wearable and down to earth vibe.

These outfits are great for a variety of summer activities: music festival, road trip, backyard BBQ, hanging out with friends or just strolling around the town.
