Function Meets Style

Details and accessories can take an outfit from plain boring to super snazzy. As seen on today’s two outfits, the elevated shoes (from Lily Aldridge’s pointy toe flats with pop of leopard to Alessandra Ambrosio’s suede espadrilles), the classic yet modern designer bags (one by Ralph Lauren and another by Gucci) and the strategically picked jewelries are what make these simple, neutral outfits inspiring and eye-catching.

In Chinese: 细节和配饰总能把即使最普通的衣服调剂得活色生香，比如今天的这两个搭配里看到的豹纹尖头鞋、麂皮草编鞋，典雅又极具现代感的设计师手包、以及精心挑选的项链、眼镜等让原本平淡的黑白灰造型时髦又养眼。

A worn-in T-shirt with well-fitting skinny jeans can be great foundation of many effortless chic outfits. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley adds a crisp printed blazer, elegant grey shoulder bag and sexy strap sandals for travel. For many of us, Light colored clothing and high heels may not on our jet set style list, but we can definitely replicate her style for casual Fridays in the office, hanging out with friends, or hopping around the city.

In Chinese: 一件做旧的舒适T恤加上修身牛仔裤是很多明星和超模街拍造型的基础，比如今天所选的罗西·汉丁顿-惠特莉(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley)的机场装扮就是在这个基本搭配上加入了清爽的印花西装外套、优雅的灰色肩背包和女人味的饰带凉鞋。浅色的外套和高跟鞋可能不是我们普通人旅行时的首选，但是我们完全可以参考这个“公式”，打造出适合休闲的办公室、和朋友聚餐或逛街等想看起来随性又有型的场合。

Clockwise from top left:
T-shirt: T by Alexander Wang (wardrobe essential!)
Blazer: J.Crew (love the subtle puff sleeves!)
Necklace: Jennifer Zeuner (made in the USA)
Sunglasses: Tom Ford (alternative here!)
Jeans: Paige Denim (yes, it’s the pair on her; also here)
Shoe: Prada (similar here)
Bag: Alexander Wang (I have this bag in the tote version and LOVE it so much! on Huntington-Whiteley here)

Update Your LWDs (Part 1)

LWD (little white dress) has many faces. Today I featured two, one is city chic, another is refined bohemian. When hunting for white dresses, I always look for details that make one current (like this one with dropped waist shape and flounce hem seen above left), or use accessories for that up-to-date touch, the radiant orchid oxford, chunky necklace worn as a bracelet, and mirrored sunglasses seen here are the best illustrations for that. Stay tuned for two more LWD inspirations tomorrow!

In Chinese: 像小黑裙一样，每个女孩都梦想有一条白色的“仙女裙”。其实白裙可以有很多面，比如今天的这两个，一个俏皮都会，另一个空灵飘逸。挑选白裙的时候，我会留心一些小的设计，比如第一个造型里奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)穿的这条，低腰线的设计和荷叶边的剪裁让它很有时尚感。配饰也是让你的小白裙“与时俱进”的法宝，比如在这两个造型里看到的兰花紫的牛津鞋、眩光太阳镜以及用作手环的链条项链等。明天还有两个不一样的小白裙造型，记得回来查看哦～
