The power of investment worthy accessories gets approved here again on Miranda Kerr: the same bag and shoe were paired with different dresses, resulting two different but equally eye-catching and glamorous outfits. I love how she played with prints and colors for these two looks:

when wearing a printed dress, instead of adding neutral accessories, choose those that can pick up one color in your dress or, even bolder, pick one that is a good contrast to your dress. Here, Miranda Kerr paired a blue leather bag with blue printed dress (in the same color family) and an orange one (color contrast).

Mixing prints is also another way to elevate a look, making it fun and youthful. Accessories are always a great and easy way to start, like the leopard pump on her.

These two looks are Miranda Kerr’s recent airport outfits, but for most of us, they are great for many other occasions: baby/bridal shower, weddings, dinner or date. The length and prints of these dresses make them great for women of all ages.

When looking for road trip or festival outfit ideas, or just a bohemian inspired laid-back weekend look, I always turn to Alessandra Ambrosio for inspiration. She is such a free-spirit: neon colors, bold prints, cowboy boots, stacked bracelets and layered necklaces, along with her messy bedhead look and carefree attitude have become her signature.

Today, I featured two of her looks incorporated prints that are easy to recreate, perfect for hot weather and summer fun.

Juxtaposing girly dress against tough boots is not something new, but I like that by paying attention to details, Alessandra Ambrosio made this combo serve for different occasions:

For the first dress below with body-hugging silhouette and sweet colors, she picked a ladylike bag and styled her hair half up, with aviator sunglasses, gold watch, and dainty jewelry, the overall look is urban-bohemian, comfy yet sexy, great for a casual date, hanging out with friends, central city concert, or shopping.

Compared to the first look, the second one below with blue printed tunic dress is more casual and laid-back. Accessorized with fringe bag, tortoise sunglasses and beaded bracelet, this look is great for a road trip, out-of-town music festival, or beach vacation.

With the holiday and weekend coming around, I picked two casual yet sweet looks of Miranda Kerr that are great for many occasions: brunch, shopping, barbecue, picnic, concert, weekend getaway… you name it.

First look below incorporated one of our favorite summer piece: maxi dress. The sexy thigh split of this shirt dress gets balanced by a conservative neckline and sweet color. Star shaped sunglasses add a whimsical and fun touch while a trimmed fedora and suede Duffle tote add urban chicness to the otherwise bohemian country look. This look is great for any age.

Second look below is my favorite. The subtle cutout design, studded leather boots and chic yet functional It bag elevate a sweet daisy print sundress, make it cool and edgy. Remember that your hair and makeup are definitely a crucial part of the whole look. Here, to highlight the cheerful print and enhance the overall sweet yet cool girl vibe, Miranda Kerr went for a bare face, nude lip and sleek updo.
