Coral pink is such a romantic color for spring/summer. When paired with crisp white, the impact is so feminine and fresh. But today’s featured ladies (above) gave this swinging combination two totally different representations:

Miranda Kerr’s wide leg jeans brought her look a 60’s flair. Although by then, stars like Peggy Lipton and Audrey Hepburn liked to flash a little ankle, today we should take a hint from Miranda Kerr, let the hems graze the floor for the leg elongating effect. Heels/wedges are definitely needed for bottoms like this. This look is great for women of any age.

Although Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s crop top is also a retro take, but by topping is off with a sleek structured blazer (like this one), leather pants and metallic cap-toe pumps, she gave the look a more modern and fashion-forward vibe. Changing the crop top to a silk blouse, I can see women in their 40s rock this look beautifully.

Of course, this pink and white combination can be played around more: With biker jacket and safety-pin jewelry, it can be rock chic; With an ikat bag and fringe booties, it can be urban bohemian… the list can go on. Which style will you choose for your pink and white combo?

As you can see from the title, I’m obsessed with blush pink right now. It’s so sweet, fresh and feminine. There are so many different but equally intriguing shades you can choose from: the pale shade on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is sultry yet graceful; the dusty rose color spotted in Milan is nostalgic and demure; the peachy pink on Kate Middleton is buoyant and elegant.

When it comes to styling: black and navy toughen up the sweet blush pink, give it an urban chic vibe whereas soft, light neutrals add fresh and delicate touches to it.

As always, accessories make the outfit: A pair of snake-skin strap sandals elevates a sexy blush top; Lace-up booties and studded jewelry edge up a soft rosy sweater; Nude pumps and light brown clutch ground a cheerful peach dress.

Besides celebrity street styles and model-off-duty looks, airport fashion is also what I’m obsessed with and spend time to analyze and learn from. Since I just shared my vacation packing essentials, it’s a great time to share some on-the-way outfit ideas. The stand out airport styles are not only comfy and appropriate, effortlessly chic, trend-based, but also easy to transform for our destinations.

First travel essential is, of course, easy-to-walk-in shoe. Go-with-everything ankle booties are great options; If you are trend-minded, Miranda Kerr’s velvet loafer is a must-have this season. It is also comfy and stylish sightseeing shoe after arrive at destination.

Second must-haves are layering pieces to keep us comfortable and stylish at various temperatures during the trip and safeguards us in unpredictable weathers at the destination, consider long sleeve tees, light weight sweaters and basic jackets like what the two ladies wearing above.

Third essentials are functional yet stylish accessories: from their roomy satchels to Rosie Huntington’s burgundy hat (similar here) to Miranda Kerr’s red leopard scarf and watch.

My favorite part of their outfits is that almost every piece on them is timeless wardrobe essential that we can wear over and over. Check the very similar looks from Alessandra Ambrosio (here) and Miranda Kerr (here).
