Have you built your outfit from bottom up? If yes, then you definitely understand the power of shoes. Especially when you are in basic pieces, changing shoe can instantly transform your look. Take these two outfits of Olivia Palermo for example: for the same pieces, a pair of sneakers gave them a casual, laid-back vibe, whereas delicate heels instantly dressed them up.

As always, details make this one-second transformation work, and ensure both looks are chic: The pieces on you should be versatile, as those on Olivia Palermo: a brown slim fit sweater and black leather pants can both be dressed up or down easily; the textured black leather handbag is equally edgy and formal. As for the sneaker she chose, the leather material and thick white rubber sole add chic details. Compared to basic neutral or solid colored pumps, a printed floral version screams “spring” and instantly brightens up the look.

Hi everyone! It’s been such a long time since my last post. I’m going through a big change now and would like to share with this good news with you all: I’m going to be a mom soon! During the past two months, I have been tormented by the discomfort of pregnancy. Now I finally stepped into the so-called golden stage, although morning sickness is still around. And I will surely include more maternity style tips in the future, for those of you who are also expecting a new family member!

I’m glad I come back just in time: it’s the middle of fashion month, countless of runway looks and street styles are dazzling. With spring coming soon, there’s just too many to share! Today, let’s start with one of my favorite Chinese model Bonnie Chen (last time featured her here).

Black and white is a huge trend for this spring and will continue go into fall/winter as we saw from the latest runway shows. In her outfit, we can see trendy elements (like the high contrast palette and statement cross-body bag); fashion-forward elements that will coming next season (like her beanie and exaggerated hairstyle); and classic elements that never go out of style (leather pants, biker boots and crisp white button-down). All of these blend harmoniously. Compared to those showgoers with bare legs and sky high heels walking on snow, her look is not only stylish, but warm, comfy and easy.

Shoes: Aquatalia by Marvin K. (lust worthy pair here)
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (also here & here)
Hat: Asos (or this one)

The beanies on Fall 2013 runways also remind me of this look of her (below). It was back in 2010, but Bonnie Chen’s red hat and her skilled layers keep this look stay in my notebook till now.

If you haven’t own a beanie yet, score one now, it will surely keep you in style!

For me, nothing is better than a sunny yellow piece to brighten my winter days. Today’s three looks are great examples of how women of different ages can incorporate this bright color into their fall/winter wardrobe.

When entering your 30s, you need to learn how to dress in a smart, sexy yet classy way, one example is
