Long coat is sophisticated yet very practical for winter. Since the length gives it a dramatic effect, pick neutral tones to avoid being overwhelmed. Also, because it covers pretty much everything we wear underneath, accessories are key to spice the look up, be it a printed scarf, a hot It bag, fabulous shades, or eye-catching shoes.

For petite ladies, I would suggest picking those come with a belt or has slim fit. If wear with pants, roll them up to show some skin. Also, heels can give you extra height while bold scarves and pretty hats helping draw attention up.

In Chinese: 长款大衣保暖又很有范。今天的两个造型教我们怎么搭:首先在颜色上,尽量选择低调的中性色,因为长度本身就已经是很吸引眼球的元素了;其次因为这种大衣基本会盖住我们里面穿的衣服,所以要避免单调,扮靓就要靠配件了,比如抢眼的围巾大墨镜设计师手包或一双彩色的羊皮手套;在鞋款的选择上,搭配踝靴会比高筒靴看起来更利落。

娇小的女孩不太适合这种长度的大衣,如果要穿,选择带有腰带或修身收腰的剪裁,搭配短裤或迷你裙,如果要配长裤,可以挽起裤腿,露出纤细的脚踝。配饰的选择上,帽子或彩色的大围巾等都能帮助视线上移,从而拉长身形。

Weekend wardrobe calls for casualness and ease, but the ways to achieve that vary depending on our activities. For a walk around cities, we may want something sleek and edgy for an effortlessly urban chic look, like leather pants, leopard scarf, or studded booties. For a getaway, comfort is key. Jacket, top and chunky scarf build up ideal layers for us to adjust to different temperatures while loose fit jeans and ballet flat making commute a lot easier.

In Chinese: 周末我们总会穿得休闲些,但根据场合和活动的不同,我们休闲搭配的侧重点也有不同,比如如果仅仅是周末在市区里的一些活动,像逛街购物或和朋友聚餐等,选择些有都市感的、线条简洁、图案典雅的单品,秋冬典型的有皮裤豹纹或铆钉装饰的包包、鞋子或围巾等。如果周末要外出度假,舒适和便于活动就更重要了,洋葱式的穿法外加围巾、帽子等有助于我们适应室内外的各种温度,宽松的裤款平底鞋也让旅行更方便舒适。

Casual Chic: Newsboy Cap & Chunky Knit

how to wear boyfriend jeans, how to wear chunky sweaters, how to wear fisherman/newsboy cap,   Blake Lively,Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,   On Blake Lively: beige chunky sweater by H&M; INSTANTLY SLIMMING black leggings by WHITE HOUSE BLACK MARKET; WOOL BLEND black newsboy cap by H&M, RAY-BAN AMBERMATIC aviator sunglasses, MANOLO BLAHNIK bb pump,HOOP EARRINGS  On Rosie Huntington Whiteley:  Equipment Sloane grey Sweater,  Citizens of Humanity Dylan boyfriend Jeans,  Chloe Lucy Houndstooth Tweed Bag,   Isabel Marant Betty Sneakers,Halleh 18-karat gold diamond ring,Photos: Blake Lively & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley;  Courtesy of luckymag.comjustjared.com.

The key for casual yet pulled-together outfits is getting the proportions right, as showed above, pair oversized chunky knit with leggings or team slouchy boyfriend jeans with fitted tops.

Blake Lively’s look is comfy yet sexy, great for brunches, a relaxed dinner, or hanging out with friends; Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s look is sporty and laid-back, perfect for running errands or holiday shopping.

A stylish hat is a great piece to throw on when you don’t have time to style your hair but still want to look polished.

This weekend marks the start of holiday shopping, here I want to share with you some of my favorite promotions that are going on right now:

Last but not least, the beloved 3.1 Phillip Lim mini Pashli satchel  is on sale here! As the perfect everyday bag, it’s a great gift for your mom, sister, BFF or stylish aunt!

Wish you all safe, happy and stress-free holidays. Good luck!

In Chinese: 今天的这两个look很适合假日季。Blake Lively的搭配舒适又不失性感,很适合和好友聚会,吃早午餐或者约会;Rosie Huntington-Whiteley的搭配则更休闲动感,很适合外出采购或逛街。

看起来慵懒休闲不等于邋遢,关键在于掌握好比例,比如穿宽松的大毛衣时搭配紧身的牛仔裤或内搭裤,相应地,搭配男友风的直筒牛仔裤或运动裤时,选择稍微贴身的上装。

另外,加入一些女性化的元素,比如漂亮的手包或高跟鞋,露出纤细的手腕脚踝等也是平衡过于休闲着装的好贴士。秋冬时帽子更是实用又能增加时尚感的小物,没有时间打理发型时,加上一顶有性格的帽子就可以美美地出门了。

黑色星期五标志着美国假日购物季的开始,上面我列了一些最吸引我的折扣促销和大家分享。祝我们都能度过一个健康、平安、轻松愉快的假日!
