The key for casual yet pulled-together outfits is getting the proportions right, as showed above, pair oversized chunky knit with leggings or team slouchy boyfriend jeans with fitted tops.

Blake Lively’s look is comfy yet sexy, great for brunches, a relaxed dinner, or hanging out with friends; Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s look is sporty and laid-back, perfect for running errands or holiday shopping.

A stylish hat is a great piece to throw on when you don’t have time to style your hair but still want to look polished.

This weekend marks the start of holiday shopping, here I want to share with you some of my favorite promotions that are going on right now:

Shopbop: Save up to 25% off with code ‘BIGEVENT13’. My picks are the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel & Helmut Lang stretch leather pants.
Net-a-Porter: Save Up to 50% off. I’m eyeing on two of my favorite brands: Jimmy Choo & Isabel Marant
Nordstrom: Designer clearance up to 40% off. Love this Michael Kors ‘Miranda’ tote.
The Outnet: Up to 85% off designer clearance is coming tomorrow!
Zapppo: Cyber Monday clearance is on. My picks are These boots by Stuart Weitzman.
J.Crew: 30% off site wide with code HOLIDAY. Love this peacoat!
ASOS: 20% off site wide with code ‘GIMME20’. They have great party dress selections.

Last but not least, the beloved 3.1 Phillip Lim mini Pashli satchel is on sale here! As the perfect everyday bag, it’s a great gift for your mom, sister, BFF or stylish aunt!

Wish you all safe, happy and stress-free holidays. Good luck!

In Chinese: 今天的这两个look很适合假日季。Blake Lively的搭配舒适又不失性感，很适合和好友聚会，吃早午餐或者约会；Rosie Huntington-Whiteley的搭配则更休闲动感，很适合外出采购或逛街。

看起来慵懒休闲不等于邋遢，关键在于掌握好比例，比如穿宽松的大毛衣时搭配紧身的牛仔裤或内搭裤，相应地，搭配男友风的直筒牛仔裤或运动裤时，选择稍微贴身的上装。

另外，加入一些女性化的元素，比如漂亮的手包或高跟鞋，露出纤细的手腕脚踝等也是平衡过于休闲着装的好贴士。秋冬时帽子更是实用又能增加时尚感的小物，没有时间打理发型时，加上一顶有性格的帽子就可以美美地出门了。

黑色星期五标志着美国假日购物季的开始，上面我列了一些最吸引我的折扣促销和大家分享。祝我们都能度过一个健康、平安、轻松愉快的假日！

Boyfriend Jeans: Chic Mom on the Go

Skinny jeans used to be my grab-and-go piece. After being a mom, I found myself constantly gravitate towards boyfriend jeans: They are comfortable for me to move around or play with babies; The loose fit can hide those extra pounds I gained during pregnancy; The relaxed vibe can tone down any dressy top I’m having on: from structured blazers to silk blouses.

The key to wear boyfriend or distressed denim without looking sloppy is adding feminine touches, like the trendy, sexy leopard loafer and signature red lips on Miranda Kerr, or the glamorous red accents and statement jewelry on Reese Witherspoon.

我以前都只穿紧腿九分裤，当了妈妈后却偏爱起了男友风牛仔裤：宽松的设计便于我来回活动或陪小孩玩，不那么紧身也可以藏些怀孕时屯起来的肉肉，而且搭配起正式的西装外套、丝质上衣或针织衫时也显得更轻松自然，不刻意。

这种裤型唯一的缺点是容易看起来邋遢或显腿粗，所以我常会把裤管随意往上挽几圈，露出脚踝，搭配上抢眼的鞋款，并加入其它女性化的元素，比如上图中所看到的Miranda Kerr的经典红唇和大热的豹纹复古包头鞋以及Reese Witherspoon性感的红色麂皮尖头鞋，红色的窄腰带以及长吊坠项链。

Three Unexpected Ways To Wear Brown Leather Jacket

Leather jacket is no doubt a timeless wardrobe staple. Among all of the colors, black and brown are the most flattering ones that worth the investment and will accompany us for many years. We already talked about classic black leather jacket here, today let’s focus on brown.

Compared to polished and edgy black, brown is more casual and effortlessly chic. Rich brown flatters almost all the skin tones. When the leather breaks down over time, the brown color will appear more attractive.

Above three looks are my favorite. The stars really brought out different sides of a brown leather jacket and showed its versatility:

Heidi Klum (above left)’s sneakers and boyfriend jeans give her brown leather a laid-back, casual vibe; Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (middle)’s skinny jeans and sexy ankle booties add urban chicness to the jacket; Clemence Poesy’s tough boots easily transform the look into an edgy, carefree off- duty outfit. Let alone the unexpected color combinations on them: brown with floral print, with lush green or vibrant red.

Which one is your favorite? And what’s your “secret” to spicing up your brown leather jacket?
