Sand is one of the top colors for women’s fashion this spring. It reminds me of the breezy beaches. It’s thoughtful, sophisticated, yet very flattering and easy-going. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley layered it with black, brown and metallic accent for the perfect neutral balance. This color also goes well with hemlock (a soft green hue) or another trendy color paloma pink.

In Chinese: 罗西·汉丁顿-惠特莉(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley)的这件长风衣的颜色这一季非常流行，像夏日傍晚沙滩的颜色，非常静谧、优雅。带点暖色的基调也很衬我们东方人的肤色。搭配起来也容易，可以像汉丁顿-惠特莉一样与其它的中性色如黑色、棕色、白色等相搭，并用一些金属色，比如同样优雅的玫瑰金或未来感的银色做提亮。也可以搭配上湖水绿、烟粉等淡淡的颜色和它本身的优雅感相呼应。

This Sunday in my mind: vacation, vacation, vacation! Whether a weekend well spent at MoMA, a sunny afternoon lolling by the pool or a dream getaway in Paris!

In Chinese: 这个周末渴望的是度假、度假、度假！无论是静心看场画展、躺在泳池畔读本好书，还是梦想中的巴黎之行…

Staycation: Tibi mesh skirt & Ivanka Trump bootie (also here)
Pool party: Lemlem gauze tunic & Steven espadrilles (more colors here)

Can’t help sharing another graceful and cheerful look of Kate Middleton during her stay in Australia (see more looks here). Maybe because the effortless style is ubiquitous and has been taken quite literally by many, this neat, pulled-together, made-an-effort look catches my eyes more. The style-driven Princess does have her own subtle mixing and matching way though, which is exemplified with her covetable oversized masculine watch that is glued to her wrist.

In Chinese: 忍不住再分享一个王妃出访澳大利亚的造型（上次分享的两个在这里）。也许因为看多了时尚圈推崇的看似不加修饰的、凌乱的、不完美的混搭美，而且这种风格被越来越多的人滥用，真的就不加修饰地、不加思考地穿搭，所以我现在反而更容易被王妃这种精致、优雅、用了功夫、花了时间达成的美所吸引。她也有符合她风格的低调的“混搭”，比如她手上常带的这支硬朗的男士风格的手表。
