Wool coats are cold weather essentials. I especially love camel ones for their warm and cozy vibe. Another fall/winter must-have is knee-high or over-the-knee boots. You can wear them with skinny jeans, leggings, shorts or skirt.

When hunting for staple pieces like these, I prefer those with sleek silhouette and minimal details, like this Fay funnel neck coat and Stuart Weitzman leather boots spotted on Olivia Palermo above.

I also love how she makes these basic pieces current by letting the crisp white collar peep out. Layering a fur vest underneath is also a nice tip for staying warm yet stylish.

In Chinese: 羊毛外套一定是秋冬必备,我尤其偏爱棕色系,有温暖感,又很衬我们东方人的肤色。另一个秋冬必备是及膝或膝上靴,可以搭配牛仔裤、内搭裤、短裤或短裙,时尚又保暖。对于这些实穿的单品,投资时可以选择那些线条简洁,没有什么零碎装饰的款式,才能不退流行,比如名媛Olivia Palermo身上的这件Fay的立领大衣Stuart Weitzman最经典和最受欢迎的高筒靴

除了明智地选择单品外,Olivia Palermo的搭配技巧也一向是很值得我们学习的。今天的这两个造型里,她通过一件简单的白衬衫就把这些基础单品穿出了潮流感。另外,把皮草背心穿在大衣里也是既保暖又有层次感的好方法。

Style Match: Mother-Son Coordinating Outfits

Being a mom myself, I love watching fashion icons dress their babies. Miranda Kerr and her boy Flynn are definitely among my top style-crush list. I love how Miranda Kerr takes the intimate mother-son coordinating outfits to another level by ‘matching’ style instead of clothing. As showed above, from refined punk to laid-back casual, Flynn has become her best ‘accessories’.

In Chinese: 当了妈妈以后,我就有意识地开始留意那些同样做了母亲的时尚偶像们怎么打扮她们的小孩。超模Miranda Kerr和她两岁的儿子Flynn的出街装扮是我最喜欢看的。市面上有的亲子装、家庭装往往太过可爱,而且穿起来不合身,Miranda Kerr的搭配启发了我们,不要刻意去穿一模一样的衣服,可以从风格和色彩上进行搭配和呼应,比如今天所选的这两个造型,有酷帅的庞克风,也有活泼舒适的休闲风,Flynn俨然成了这个时尚辣妈最好的“配饰”。
