Soft pastels are big this season. Compare to saccharine powder pink, I prefer baby blue for a more grown-up, sophisticated vibe. This color is great for any age, and surprisingly versatile: it goes well with neutrals, like white, brown and black showed above, while blends perfectly with other soft hues like lavender and peach sherbet. My favorite way to wear this color now is with bright saturated primary colors, especially red. How will you play with it?

In Chinese: 嫩嫩的马卡龙色这一季非常热，比较起浅粉、鹅黄，我更喜欢今天造型里的这种冰蓝色，清澈纯洁中又不失优雅，什么年纪都可以尝试。这个颜色其实比想象中要好搭很多，可以像这两个造型里一样，和白色、棕色、黑色等中性色配，这也是最安全的穿法。和其它浅色比如薰衣草紫或浅黄、淡粉等搭配也非常好看，像巴宝莉秀场上展示的一样。我最喜欢的是这一季的新配法：和高饱和度的基本色搭配，比如这种冰蓝和正红色配在一起就非常出彩。你呢？你会怎么搭？

How to Wear Floral Print to the Office, On Reese Witherspoon: white button up shirt, j crew floral no.2 pencil skirt,nude pump, Ray-Ban 'Classic Wayfarer XL' 54mm Sunglasses, Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Small Carryall Bag, On Blake Lively: Mother The Looker Print Skinny Jeans, black top, aviator sunglasses, black top, black pump, Photos: Reese Witherspoon & Blake Lively; Courtesy of infphoto.com, splashnewsonline.com.

Nothing better to welcome spring than florals. Reese Witherspoon & Blake Lively show us how to incorporate the cheerful print into our 9-to-5 wardrobe: Pick a floral piece in dark base with office-friendly silhouette, like a navy or black floral pencil skirt, straight leg pants or sheath dress; Down play the floral print with neutral pieces that have professional vibe, from button down shirt to structured bag to classic pumps.

In Chinese: 花朵图案的单品总是让人赏心悦目。Reese Witherspoon和Blake Lively的这两个造型告诉我们怎么把我们喜欢的图案穿去办公室：在单品的选择上，尽量选暗底色的。另外因为图案本身已经很醒目，款式上就简单些，像铅笔裙、直筒裤或及膝一字裙等办公场合常见的版型。搭配上黑白灰等基本色的单品，让整体造型更利落清新。配饰上选择硬挺材质的手提包、经典的尖头包鞋增加专业感。

Skirt: J.Crew (last seen here)

Bag: Saint Laurent (great alternative here)

How to wear a camel coat, On Anja Rubik at Vogue and Vanity Fair dinner organized by Jonathan Newhouse: celine brown suede coat from Céline Cruise 2014 collection, black pants, black pump, gold necklace, Repossi Berbère Pavé ring. On Miranda Kerr: Helmut Lang leather pants, Prada aviator sunglasses, Equipment Hunter washed-silk tuxedo shirt, Hermes Birkin bag, Saint Laurent two tone flats; Photos: Anja Rubik & Miranda Kerr; Courtesy of vogue.fr, infphoto.com.

Some contend that pairing black with brown is a faux pas, but today’s featured outfits from style savvy show that it can be so easy, chic and effortlessly cool, whether you want to go for a feminine vibe with sexy pumps and a strappy jumpsuit or opt for a masculine touch with tough leather and two-tone loafers. These looks are ageless and versatile, great for the office, shopping, or hanging out with friends.

In Chinese: 在配色上有一个常见的迷思就是黑色和棕色不能配在一起，时尚圈的好玩就在于任何规则都可以打破，看看上面的这两个超模的黑+棕造型吧：Anja Rubik的搭配简约利落，深V的连身裤、性感的包鞋和标志性的小烟熏给她的装扮注入几分性感；Miranda Kerr则用硬朗的皮裤、大包以及男性化的平底便鞋把这个搭配穿出了假小子的气场。这两个造型什么年纪都可以尝试，而且适合上班、购物、约见客户或和好友聚餐等很多场合。
