Midi skirts and wool shorts are great transitional pieces to keep us warm without the winter heaviness. The graceful vibe of a midi and tailored silhouette of the shorts make them versatile pieces that can be worn from desk to dinner. Here, I love the accessories master Olivia Palermo adds edgy or glamour elements to her ensemble via add-ons like her enviable shoes, cool sunglasses, and ladylike purse.

In Chinese: 优雅的过膝裙和挺括的羊毛短裤很适合现在这样的过渡时节穿，有保暖功能又没有冬装的厚重感，既能通勤又可以穿去约会。街拍女王Olivia Palermo是善用配件的高手，看看她的这两个造型吧：用优雅的酒红色高跟鞋把一身硬朗的皮装穿出了十足女人味，男孩风的铆钉短靴则给俏皮甜美的波希米亚风装扮注入了恰到好处的酷帅。

Spring 2014 is a season to embrace bold colors and patterns. Buzzwords contain midi dresses, florals, pop-art and more. It’s definitely time to shine, are you ready?

Besides the trend, there is another thing we can learn from today’s featured ladies: To pull off the rare combination of rock edge and retro glamour, add characters with accessories, like the refined T strap pump, chunky oxford, ‘Rockstud’ shoes and bags showed above.

In Chinese: 今年春夏一反去年单调的黑与白，变得鲜艳、奔放、大胆。大伞裙、花朵、当代艺术等都是T台上传递出的关键词。你准备好了吗？

要想把这些带有复古元素的单品穿出现代感，配饰就很关键了，像上面这几位时尚偶像身上所看到的厚重的鞋款以及铆钉等硬朗的元素是这些女人味十足的裙装最好的配搭‘伙伴’。

Can’t believe we’re stepping into 2014! Thank you all SO much for your support and help in the past year, I especially appreciate all the warm greetings to my son, who means the whole world to me (can’t believe he is already 4 months)!

Speaking of New Year, my revolution in terms of fashion is pushing the envelope further and be more experimental. The arty prints, saturated colors, sultry see-through, subtle punk are all in my ‘try-more’ list. Incorporating more dresses into my practical-oriented mommy-wardrobe is also an exciting challenging. What’s your revolution?

In Chinese: 不敢相信记忆中遥远的2014就在眼前了。谢谢你们在过去一年的支持，尤其感谢那些在我生产期间写信鼓励和祝福我的朋友们，儿子的出生是我2013年最值得骄傲和最感恩的事。现在他就是我的整个世界了。

说到2014，你的新年愿望是什么？在时尚方面，我希望自己在搭配上能更有突破和创新，就像上面这几个造型中看到的艺术图案、大的花朵、明艳的颜色、性感的透视设计或一些庞克元素等我还想再多尝试。另外，虽然需要照顾宝宝，陪他玩，在日常活动中也要多找机会穿裙子，这个对实用为主导的妈妈们可能会是个挑战。你呢？
