Spice Up Black and White

Black/white graphic is by far my favorite trend. The classic and simple palette gives us a lot of room to play with textures, patterns and accessories. Here, Olivia Palermo made her monochromatic outfit anything but boring by mixing various stripes, juxtaposing with leopard, and bringing in modern fringes. When you resist the temptation of adding bright colors, it rewards you a much bigger stage to express yourself!

In Chinese: 重新回潮的黑白几何图案是我的最爱。简单经典的色彩组合赋予了我们更多的空间去体验不同材质、印花和配饰碰撞的别样感觉。今天的这个造型里,奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)通过运用不同走向和宽窄的条纹、以及条纹与豹纹流苏的混搭等把黑白变得生动有趣、潮感十足。克制住加入亮色的冲动,让黑白做主角,它会回赠予你一个更广阔的表达创意的舞台!

Elevate Your Basics

When I read the news that it took designer Marcus Wainwright a whole year to develop the now widely loved Boy Tee, I was not surprised. I’m very picky when it comes to white tees, and always on the hunt for that perfect one, I know how hard it is. When I find the right one, I do not hesitate to stock up even before I check the price tag–For me, it’s priceless: A perfect white tee makes me feel great every time I wear it; It goes with everything, fits any occasion and can be worn year round, on its own or layered. It makes dressing in the morning less daunting, because I know that when everything else fails, I can always count on my perfect white tee. Besides my new favorite Boy Tee, J.Crew and T by Alexander Wang are also my go-to places for the right one. Next on my wishlist? This make-you-feel-like-a-million-bucks one by The Row.

In Chinese: 当我前段时间在时尚资讯里读到瑞格布恩的设计师马可斯·温莱特(Marcus Wainwright)花了一年的时间研发设计了这款现在被时尚博主们热捧的男孩风白T恤时,我一点也不惊讶,因为作为白T恤的狂热追捧者,我深知找到一款完美的白T恤有多难。如果有合适的,我会不计价格地囤起来。对我来说,衣橱里必不可少的单品里第一件就是完美的纯白T恤:它和任何单品都可以搭配而且几乎可以穿去任何场合(像红毯或正式晚宴等场合当然需要其它单品的辅助),而且四季都能穿。有了一件完美的白T在衣橱,出门前少了很多紧张,因为当感觉穿什么都不对的时候,把它拖出来准没错。J.CrewT by Alexander Wang也是我囤货的必去之地。我理想的终极白T恤?这件让你穿上感觉像百万富翁的奢华版!

Denim On Denim

 spring summer 2014 outfit ideas; how to wear denim on denim,  Models off duty

There are many ways to rock the denim-on-denim trend: 1. Mix up the shades. Personally, I prefer wearing darker shade on the top, lighter on the bottom, as it’s more unexpected; 2. Mix up textures, like the patchwork and ripped details seen on Miranda Kerr here; 3. Matchy-matchy. This is the hardest to pull off in my opinion, since the combo may make us look dated. Accessories are key in this case. Miranda Kerr modernized hers with a streamlined roomy tote and right-on-trend mules, finishing off with fresh face and natural hair.

In Chinese: 单宁配单宁正流行。要玩转这个风潮,试试这些不同的搭配方法吧:方法一,把不同水洗色的牛仔单品搭配在一起,我个人喜欢把深色的穿在上面,下身穿浅色。方法二, 运用细节丰富层次感,比如在这两个造型里看到的拼接和破洞等。方法三也是我觉得最难的:同色的牛仔单品的搭配,对于这种很容易显得过时的搭配,配件的选择就很关键了,比如超模米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)选择了简约的大容量手包、最夯的穆勒拖鞋和清新自然的妆发来增加年轻和时尚感。
