One Skirt, Two Ways

Hard to believe it’s a $48 skirt. With the flattering high-waist style and black waistband, the impeccable fit, the classic stripe print mixed with strategically placed florals, it looks much more expensive! Several celebrities have been spotted wearing it. Which look above do you like? Jamie Chung’s youthful pairing, or Eva Longoria’s elegant take?

In Chinese: 不敢相信这是一条48美金的裙子:贴心的设计,服帖的剪裁和让人眼前一亮的图案已经让这个物美价廉的单品吸引了好几位好莱坞明星的喜爱。上面的这两个穿法你更喜欢哪个?杰米·钟(Jamie Chung)的充满活力的搭配还是伊娃·朗格利亚(Eva Longoria)高端优雅的穿法?

Can’t believe we’re stepping into 2014! Thank you all SO much for your support and help in the past year, I especially appreciate all the warm greetings to my son, who means the whole world to me (can’t believe he is already 4 months)!

Speaking of New Year, my revolution in terms of fashion is pushing the envelope further and be more experimental. The arty prints, saturated colors, sultry see-through, subtle punk are all in my ‘try-more’ list. Incorporating more dresses into my practical-oriented mommy-wardrobe is also an exciting challenging. What’s your revolution?

In Chinese: 不敢相信记忆中遥远的2014就在眼前了。谢谢你们在过去一年的支持,尤其感谢那些在我生产期间写信鼓励和祝福我的朋友们,儿子的出生是我2013年最值得骄傲和最感恩的事。现在他就是我的整个世界了。

说到2014,你的新年愿望是什么?在时尚方面,我希望自己在搭配上能更有突破和创新,就像上面这几个造型中看到的艺术图案、大的花朵明艳的颜色性感的透视设计或一些庞克元素等我还想再多尝试。另外,虽然需要照顾宝宝,陪他玩,在日常活动中也要多找机会穿裙子,这个对实用为主导的妈妈们可能会是个挑战。你呢?

Feminine Luxury Meets Downtown Chic: Jason Wu’s Jourdan Tote

I adore big structure bags with detachable straps. They are stylish yet versatile. They can hold all of our essentials from Ipad, documents to makeups and snacks and can also add some downtown chic to our looks.

But when it comes to color choices, the decision can be tough: This kind of bag in black and brown plus the rigid shape of the bag tends to make me look formal and heavy. Other bright colors are not so versatile. So white is my favorite choice: The clean color adds more feminine grace to the bag, and can instantly make us spring/summer-ready. That’s why I was so happy to see Rosie huntington Whiteley caring her white tote in NYC:
