With a small frame, it really took me a long time to wrap my head around the notion of thigh high boots. After trying out a few, I found that it’s all about the right fit: it has to be slimming from the ankle to the thigh area. About the length, those end below the mid thigh are more flattering and proportional to my frame. When it comes to styling, pair them with casual Tees or girly flare skirts/dresses to keep them from looking too sexy.

In Chinese: 我本身也是矮个儿一族，所以对于大热的大腿靴也是犹豫了很长时间才决定挑战看看。试了几次之后发现只要选对款式，娇小女孩完全可以穿，关键在于靴筒要从脚踝开始就非常服帖，一直到大腿的部分都要合，才会显得腿更纤细修长。长度的话最好在膝盖上三寸左右，不要过高。日常穿搭时配上休闲的条纹T恤、针织衫或女孩风的伞裙来平衡大腿靴的性感。

Accessories are key to spicing up basics, as showed here: from the edgy footwear (combat boots on Taylor Swift, lace up booties on Doutzen Kroes) to bags that full of characters (the retro glamour of Taylor Swift’s or the bohemian hobo of Doutzen Kroes’s), to their fabulous sunglasses, hat, coordinate lips or artfully tossed hair.

In Chinese: 今天的这两个look再次展现了配饰的强大力量：T恤配上短裤或迷你裙的简单造型，加上精致的小手包，格斗靴和一抹红唇，Taylor Swift看起来复古又俏皮。配上波希米亚风的大挎包，镂空的踝靴和眩光太阳镜，Doutzen Kroes看起来则颇有都市风情，休闲随意又不失性感。

Monochrome Chic: Combine Classic with Modern

Olivia Palermo has been wearing a lot of black and white pieces lately, my favorites are these two looks above. With intricate details, dynamic patterns and a pop of brights, she gave the simple black and white a reinterpretation, making this classic combo bold, delicate and fashion-forward.

For her first outfit (above left), black and white, stripes, see-through trends blend together harmoniously thanks to the simple color palette and classic silhouette. As always, details and accessories make a big difference, as showed in her second outfit above: with the delicate laser cut out, well-thought printed clutch, sophisticated Mary Jane pump, and subtle yellow & purple color block, it’s hard to believe that her dress is only a $66 piece from kohl’s!

这一季的时装周期间常看到时尚偶像Olivia Palermo穿黑白色的单品。我最喜欢的是上面的这两个造型，精美繁复的镂空细节，动态变化的条纹图案以及恰到好处的亮色点缀重新演绎了原本是极简代名词的黑与白。

她的第一个look把今年大热的透视、条纹及黑白等几个流行趋势融合地不着痕迹，技巧在于保持整体色调干净，而且每件单品的剪裁和线条也很简洁。第二个look里的这条镂空的皮裙我已经等了好久，是Catherine Malandrino为Kohl‘s设计的系列里我最喜欢的一件。简单的线条，硬朗皮革和蕾丝般精美的雕花所形成的冲突感已经让人很难相信它这么平价，只有$66！再配上优雅的玛丽珍包鞋和抢眼又有复古风情的黄色手包，瞬间就像漫步在巴黎街头的名媛。
