I have love-hate relationship with parkas, need them when it’s freezing cold outside while challenged when it comes to styling. Today’s two looks inspired me, I love how Gisele Bundchen kept hers sleek and sexy with skinny jeans, killer booties and an It bag, envy how Miranda Kerr made the impossible combination of super comfy and super chic by mixing sweatpants and sneakers with covetable Hermes and sultry red lips.

In Chinese: 我对风雪衣既爱又恨，寒冬里离不开它，穿时却很难搭配出时尚感。如果你也一样，今天的这两个look能给我们些灵感：Gisele Bundchen选了酷帅的军绿色，配上修身仔裤、拼接的皮革踝靴和IT包，颇有硬朗又性感的都市风。Miranda Kerr则混搭了休闲的运动裤、运动鞋与让人垂涎的爱马仕包和她标志性的红唇。 How to Dress for Zero-Degree Temperatures; How to Wear a Parka; featured: Earrings: ginette_ny Mini Lotus Stud Earrings, Bag: Givenchy Lucrezia duffel Bag, Jacket: FAY padded jacket, Jeans: J Brand Maria High Rise Powerstretch Legging Jeans, Boots: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN canassone boots,

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’。

Leopard print is no doubt classic. I especially love the slightly brighter version on today’s featured ladies for its seasonless apparel. These two looks showed us perfectly how to style the same piece now and later when the temperatures rise.

I also love how they tamed this sexy wild print with preppy cable knits, laid-back denim, feminine ruffles and pleats and edgy ankle boots, respectively.

In Chinese: 豹纹是毋庸置疑的经典，但相比传统的豹纹，我更喜欢上面这两位荧屏明星所穿的亮色豹纹，更有现代感，不会到处撞衫，而且四季皆宜。这两个造型更启发了我们怎么“一衣多穿”，在春天即将到的时候多学些这样换季搭配的小技巧吧。

另外，我们总觉得豹纹太狂野，习惯用黑色去压，学学她们吧: 学院风毛衣，休闲的牛仔、小女人味的褶边以及硬朗的踝靴等都是平衡豹纹的好方法。
