Why I love the look: It’s a little bit of everything: classic yet trendy, comfy yet polished, chic and sexy, with a hint of sporty and fun.

Shopping Tips: 
Look for basic pieces with interesting details: black skinny jeans with side stripes, black top but see-through, classic coat with chic short sleeves
Speaking of short sleeve coat, it’s perfect for between-seasons, and it’s a wonderful item to play with: you can wear lace, leather, chiffon, or fun prints like leopard, camo and stripes underneath it to create endless combos.

In Chinese:  街拍女王奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这个造型简约而不简单,看似平淡的黑白配,却融合了透视、运动、印花等很多流行元素,利落又性感,舒适且潮味十足。

挑选经典单品中带有出挑的细节设计或新一季的元素是打造这种风格的关键。比如这件在她的街拍中出现过很多次的短袖风衣,不仅是换季时的必备,而且通过内搭不同材质,比如蕾丝、雪纺、皮革等,不同图案比如豹纹、迷彩、条纹等等,可以变换出很多新造型。

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
