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。

You may have noticed that pretty pastels like baby blue, powder pink, lavender, buttercup yellow, which are usually associated with spring, take center stage this fall. These beautiful, feminine colors soften heavy fabrics and lighten up our winter days.

The key to wearing pastels in fall/winter is combining them with familiar dark colors and rich shades like black, brown, burgundy and hunt green.

If you are not ready to commit to this trend, as always, start with accessories, like the baby blue tote spotted on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley here.

In Chinese: 你可能也已经留意到了，那些常在春夏看到的粉嫩的马卡龙色席卷了今年秋冬的T台，像冰蓝、浅粉、淡紫、鹅黄等。这些轻柔的颜色冲淡了毛呢的厚重感，也点亮了萧瑟暗沉的秋冬。

搭配这些颜色的关键在于平衡，引入这些淡雅的流行色的同时保留我们熟悉的秋冬的大地色系比如灰黑棕等，或浓郁的酒红、墨绿。像所有的流行趋势一样，如果你不确定自己是不是喜欢，是不是能驾驭，就从小的配件开始尝试，比如在上一篇博文里看到的超模Rosie Huntington-Whiteley所做的，提一个粉蓝色的手包来点亮整身的黑色造型。

Jumpsuit has been around for a while, from summer’s short overalls to fall’s long sleeved versions as you can see on today’s featured ladies. There are several reasons why we love a great jumpsuit:

First of all, it creates a long, lean silhouette that will make us look taller and slimmer, especially the versatile black one. Secondly, it’s as romantic and dramatic as a sexy-goddess maxi dress but much more practical and versatile. Thirdly, it has the perfect masculine/feminine balance which we all love today. Last but not least, it’s a no-brainer! You can just throw on and you are good to go.

In Chinese: 连身裤已经流行了好一阵了，从夏天就到处可见的清凉的短打连身裤到今年秋冬好多明星和名媛都偏爱的长袖装。存在必有其合理性，我最喜欢这种裤装的几点：首先，这种一件式的设计没有截断身形的担心，穿起来修身又显高；其次，它是性感和酷帅的完美结合。穿起来有和希腊女神式的长裙一样的视觉冲击，但是又没有那么挑场合挑季节。一年四季都可以穿，配合不同的鞋子和配饰也很容易打造适合不同场合的look。更重要的是你几乎不用费心考虑怎么穿搭，像裙子一样，只要套上去再加上一两个简单的配饰，比如一双性感的高跟鞋，一个手包，甚至只搭一只简单的大手表，就很有型了。
