Fashion world gets nostalgic with the return of sneakers, friendship bracelets, and.. our featured piece today–overalls. Since we are not going back to childhood, pair your overalls with feminine pieces like the fresh cut-out tank on Alessandra Ambrosio and sophisticated cap toe ballet flat on Alexa Chung.

Speaking of Alexa Chung’s outfit, notice how she wears her trench coat? Sometimes, fashion is not about what you are wearing, but how you wear. All the pieces on her are classics we may already have in our closet, just by casually draping the coat over her shoulders like wearing a cape, she made the overall look fresh and current.

In Chinese: 时尚风向引着我们回到了小时候，和小伙伴们互编的手链、运动鞋、还有上面这两个造型里看到的背带裤等已连着火了好几季，就像国内流行海魂衫和回力鞋一样。因为背带裤本身就是孩子气很浓的单品，所以搭配时就尽量不要再配学院风的衬衫或T恤了，选择女人味的单品，比如超模Alessandra Ambrosio的白色镂空上衣或Alexa Chung的优雅拼色芭蕾鞋。Alexa Chung身上的这些单品都是常见的经典款，她把风衣披着穿，就给了这个看似平常的造型以新意和气场。有时候，时尚不在于你穿什么，而在于你怎么穿。对吗？

Luxury sleep mask and luminizing powder are the secrets to keeping your skin radiant and glowing in the cold.

In Chinese: 今年纽约的冬天格外漫长，就在我雀跃地布置春夏衣橱的时候，窗外又飘了漫天白雪。穿了一冬厚重暗沉的羽绒服，这个时候来一件轻巧，粉嫩又保暖的大衣再好不过了。今天所选的这两个造型就是这个时节既抗寒又能保持我们的好心情的装扮。把白色的牛仔裤或裤袜换成直筒的九分长西裤，配上小羊皮的踝靴，就可以穿去办公室了。深度修护的睡眠面膜和有光感的妆容也能让你在寒风里保有好气色。

How to wear florals, spring outfit ideas 2014, On Gisele Bundchen: white blazer, zara floral pants, Dolce & Gabbana red sandal, aviator sunglasses; On Sarah Rutson: crop sweater, celine floral pencil skirt, black pump, Valentino studded clutch, Photos: Gisele Bundchen & Sarah Rutson; Courtesy of infphoto.com, elle.com.

What better way to welcome spring than wearing florals? Gisele Bundchen polished up her casual floral pants with crisp white tops while Sarah Rutson made her floral pencil skirt modern with a cropped sweater. This street style shot (above right) of Sarah Rutson was actually took 2 years ago, I fell in love and kept it on file. It inspires me every time I look at it.

In Chinese: 花朵图案的单品最适合迎接春夏了。超模Gisele Bundchen和她家人的每次出街都像是拍大片。上面的这个造新里她用白色西服把休闲感的碎花裤穿得利落又养眼；Sarah Rutson则用短毛衣把花朵包身裙穿出了态度和时尚感。Sarah Rutson的这个时装周期间的街拍造型其实是两年前的，但是我非常喜欢，一直保存着，每次翻出来看都会有不同的启发。
