Wearing white in fall/winter is modern and fashionable, but can be quite challenging. The key is to balance it with dark, rich shades and prints, combining with warm and luxe textures,  like the black & leopard accents, and a mix of jacquard, tweed, leather and haircalf spotted on today’s featured ladies.

I also love how these two icons took their looks to the next level: Blake Lively gave her crisp monochrome ensemble a futuristic vibe with a silver bag and mirrored sunglasses while Miranda Kerr offset her ladylike tweed jacket with a pair of heavy distressed jeans and comfy loafers.

In Chinese: 这几季的潮流打破了色彩的季节感,春夏穿黑灰,秋冬穿粉或白已经不是什么新鲜事了,但是寒冷的季节穿这么浅的颜色还是很具挑战性的。搭配的关键在于用深暗色调、和秋冬常见的动物纹以及温暖的材质来增加季节感,像Blake Lively 和 Miranda Kerr今天的这两个造型里看到的黑色和豹纹的单品,以及提花、粗呢、皮革和马毛等颇具温暖感的材质。

此外,个性的配饰或者有强烈对比的组合也能提升整个造型的新意和潮流感,比如Blake Lively用银色的手拿包和同色的眩光太阳镜给经典的黑白造型以未来感;Miranda Kerr则用一条破洞牛仔裤平底鞋把典雅的花呢夹克穿出了带有些许庞克风的随意街头感。

Faux Fur Style: Day to Night (Part I)

I love pieces that combine interesting yet practical contrasts, like a sweater with crepe ruffle hem or, what featured here, a cardigan with faux fur trim: the fluffy collar adds coziness to the knit without the extra bulk.

Olivia Palermo styled hers with skinny jeans and velvet slipper loafers for a casual yet polished day time look, with a fringe dress and metallic strappy sandals for a glamorous night out look.

Since fur vest, coat or cardigan add volume to our upper body, balance them out with slim fit bottoms, like skinny jeans, pencil skirt or shorts. Extra bonus for injecting a bold punch of color or pattern by way of standout accessories, like the handbag and scarf on Olivia Palermo.

In Chinese: 我总被一些包含了强烈对比元素的单品所吸引,比如这件带刍纱花边的毛衣,还有今天想分享的这件秋冬必备的带皮草领的针织衫。皮草给普通的开衫加了些许奢华感,看起来像穿了两件但是一点也没有厚重感。

Olivia Palermo搭配了休闲的瘦腿裤和丝绒包鞋打造既休闲又有格调的出街造型,晚上外出参加派对时,加在一件庞克风的流苏裙外,再配上金色的高跟鞋,保暖又抢眼。

因为皮草本身有一定的廓形,所以穿皮草马甲、外套或开衫时尽量选择贴身的下装,比如铅笔裙,小短裤或紧身牛仔裤等。利用围巾、手包等配饰引入一些抢眼的颜色或图案,给成熟的皮草增加些年轻活泼的元素。

Grown-up Whims: Graphic Sweatshirt

The one thing I admire greatly about top designers is their ability to lead us toward the territory we could never have imagined, present us clothes we never think of but would deeply feel in love with. Take graphic sweatshirts for example, it is until Riccardo Tisci introduced bambi print on his Fall 2013 runway, we suddenly realized that we need a printed sweatshirt in our closet, one that can bring back our sweet childhood memory, can express our emotions,  or just want to add a cool, edgy, whimsical touch to our outfits.

In Chinese: 杰出的设计师总是能把我们带到从未尝试过的新领域,呈现给我们那些我们自己从未想过,但是却再也离不开的单品。拿这一季最热的卡通动漫图案的运动衫来说吧,如果不是在Riccardo Tisci 为Givenchy设计的2013秋冬系列中看到小鹿斑比出现,我可能根本不会意识到我的衣柜里缺少一件这样有趣的单品。很多高端和高街品牌也相继推出了各种各样的印花运动衫,它们是冬天厚重毛衣的最佳替代品,保暖的同时,这些有趣图案或者勾起了我们童年的美好回忆,或者能表达我们当下的情绪,给我们沉闷的秋冬装扮注入了活力。
