Rarely see a mom-to-be look so light and fresh. I love how Blake Lively contrasted light and heavy (her flowy floral skirt and suede boots), warm and cool (the grey and mint based outfit and her warm rich brown boots). A pair of trendy shades and a swipe of red lipstick are best accessories during my pregnancy too. Best of all? All the pieces can be worn post-pregnancy!

In Chinese: 很少见准妈妈们像布莱克·莱弗利（Blake Lively）这么轻盈。我很喜欢她在这套造型薄厚、冷暖的混搭，比如她飘逸的花裙和厚麂皮长靴的对比，以及蓝灰等冷色调和温暖大地色的碰撞。在尽量少用化妆品的孕期，一个时髦的太阳镜和一抹红唇就是最好的配饰了。最赞的是，这个造型的每一单品产后也都可以穿。

A chic oversized coat is all you need to stay fashionable in cold. To go one step further, pay attention to details: black leggings with multi-media material, ankle boots with edgy cut-out heels, quintessential scarf with enough volume and a fluffy whimsical key chain will take the outfit to a whole new level.

In Chinese: 一件精良剪裁的长外套是秋冬必备。对于已经占据了这么大面积的单品，要想在造型上做文章就要靠细节了，比如今天的这个超模出街造型里看到的不同材质拼接的打底裤、极具设计感的镂空鞋跟的踝靴，超大的围巾以及流行的怪诞绒毛吊坠等，给看似简约的中性色造型加入了丰富的细节和造型感。

An impeccably tailored camel coat is definitely an investment piece we turn to every year when the temperature drops. How to give yours a fresh, up-to-date look this season? Look at today’s featured look of Miranda Kerr during Paris fashion week: leather leggings combined with modernized Mary Jane pumps, add an unexpected edgy twist to the familiar camel coat, while a slate blue cross body bag completing an oh-so-delicate color combination when placed against camel and black.

In Chinese: 驼色大衣是不退流行的经典，今年秋冬怎么穿出新意呢？看看米兰达·可儿在前不久结束的巴黎时装周期间的这个看似简单却独具心思的搭配吧：性感的深v小黑裙用皮裤作打底，加上被设计师尼古拉斯·盖斯奇埃尔(Nicolas Ghesquière)重新演绎的复古和时尚兼备的玛丽珍鞋，外套是流行又便于展示穿搭层次的“斗篷式”披法，优雅的灰蓝色链条包和温暖的驼色的组合则清新别致。
