Moms are all working around the clock. Weekends can be even more hectic than weekdays: going to the gym, playing with kids at the park, running errands, maybe having dinner with some friends later. Staying chic in such a busy schedule can be quite challenging, but hot mom Miranda Kerr gave us a hint: let accessories do the trick! They are multifunction and don’t take up much precious space in our bag:

A baseball cap is right on trend this year. It covers our post workout hair while protecting us from the sun when playing with kids outside.

Fabulous sunglasses are definitely another great accessories to invest in every season. They are the quickest way to update any outfit while covering our makeup free face. With their help, all we need is a bright lip to perked us up.

Printed silk scarf dresses up a casual outfit while adding a pop of color to our ‘boring’ work out uniform. Use a chic yet functional It bag instead of an omnipresent diaper bag, like this one that has been constantly spotted on Miranda Kerr.

If you need to meet some friends afterward, just keep the tank top, throw on a maxi skirt and sandal, you are all set, like Miranda Kerr did here!

Denim overalls, which are related to workwear or our childhood memories, are now making a strong fashion revival. To better style them, I picked four of my favorite looks from style savants, hope they can inspire you to master this trend.

Keira Knightley’s look below may be the easiest way to style an overall, also the closest to its utility root. Striped top, sneakers and glasses invoke the preppy vibe of denim overalls.

Blogger Sara Strand made a few changes to avoid looking too juvenile: ankle strap heels, leather biker jacket, fine jewelry and cool sunglasses gave the overall shorts and striped sweater combo an urban chic vibe.

Selena Gomez updated denim overalls with right-on-trend crop top. Tassel scarf, metallic accent sandals and structured leather bag infuse femininity and urban bohemian to the look.

Rihanna’s look is my favorite. By staying in a simple and refreshing color palette, balancing masculine and feminine, and of course, with her signature nonchalant attitude and free spirit, she blended several hottest trends (the bomber jacket, cropped top, overalls, white add-ons) harmoniously together.

Back to Basics: Timeless White Tops (Part III)

In this part of our “Back to Basics” series, I want to share with you some unexpected ways to style other two timeless white pieces: plain white jumper and sweatshirt. As you can see from above, these looks have a gamine & tomboy vibe that has been spotted on the runway this season. Back in 1992, this type of style inspired by the cool kids on the street made Mac Jacobs lose his job at Perry Ellis. Now it becomes an inspiration for major designers and a trend that attracts the fashion cognoscenti.

Alessandra Ambrosio and Rihanna’s looks above also incorporated two microtrends this season: overalls and baseball cap. Alessandra Ambrosio opted for a cropped version with her white knit which is also in right now. The nice fit, rolled up hems and light wash color polished up her dundarees. A trendy sunglasses and bright oversized tote give her look an urban touch.

A pure white slouchy sweatshirt can be challenging. Rihanna’s look (above right) is my favorite so far. An outfit with boyish shirt, sneakers and baseball cap are sportif, however, with a fitted mini skirt, tied-around-the-waist chambray shirt, gold accessories, preppy glasses and a sober tote, she kept the overall look polished and stylish.
