My obsession with Maxi Skrit

Maxi skirt style 6 ways

Hey my loves, hope you all had a wonderful Tuesday! I decided to do something different from this post-I am going to write my blog in English and Chinese, so all of my viewers in China and everywhere else can read it, I hope you guys like thisJ

大家好, 欢迎来到我得博客!从这篇博客开始我要用中文和英文一起来编写,希望中国的朋友和全世界各国的朋友都能喜欢, 我最大的愿望就是能通过这个平台和大家一起分析我得时尚搭配和见解。

If you know my style, you would know how obsessed I am with Maxi Skirt, they are so easy to style, comfy, effortless, and super chic at the same time. I wear them all the time in the warmer months. You can totally dress it up for a night out or daytime party, or wear it when you are running errand. Here are 6 of my maxi skirts, and how I style them, hope this is inspirational for youJ

如果你看过我之前的搭配,你大概可以猜到我是多么的热爱长裙, 这里我和大家分享我是如何搭配我的六款长裙。

H&M Royal blue Maxi dress

I got this royal blue Maxi skirt from H&M, I love the bold color, soft jersey material and side cut. I used a neutral color belt and a blazer jacket to add more layers and texture, and dress up the whole look.

蓝色长裙来自H&M, 超级喜欢宝石蓝和它的侧面裁剪。搭配一个大地色系宽腰带和小西服,让整体显得很有层次感。

Forever 21 Green Chiffon Maxi

This mint green chiffon maxi skirt is from Forever 21, I fell in love with it when I first saw it, they had it in nude, pink, and mint, now I regretted I didn’t get more colors. It is a straight line cut and flutters the body shape very well. I chose this crochet top for a romantic and feminine look.  I am wearing the same woven light brown leather belt in 4 of the looks here. I think a wide belt is the best friend of maxi skirt, it cinches the waist and adds more dimension to the whole look.

绿色长裙来着Forever21, 超级喜欢这个薄荷绿, 以及它的直线裁剪。我选择了这个镂空针织衫让整体显得更加浪漫,飘逸。我超级喜欢用一个宽腰带来搭配长裙, 我觉得它能帮助凸显整体的线条,我用了这条棕色编制宽腰带在这里的四款搭配,可见我有多爱它:)

Lanvender pleated maxi skirt 2.jpg.jpg

This lavender pleated skirt used to a bride maid dress, I wore it for my best friend wedding as her bride maid. I helped her to pick this color, and I love it so much that I want to get more use from it after the wedding. The length and pleated shape is perfect for a maxi skirt, so I cut the top off. I am very happy about the result, and I cannot wait to wear it more.

这款薰衣草的百褶长裙原本是我的伴娘群。去年我最好的好朋友结婚,我帮她选了这个颜色,我觉得超级美。于是婚礼后我把它改成长裙,这样我就可以在以后的日子接着穿它啦。

H&M Gun and Roses shirt & Dusty

This high-low dusty red maxi skirt is from Nordstrom BP, I love the rich color and high-low cut. I paired it with my vintage “Gun and Roses” T-shirt and leather jacket to give it some edgy feel.

红色高低长裙来的Nordstrom BP, 超级喜欢这个饱满的红色, 颜色不是超级显眼, 刚刚好。搭配了这个复古摇滚T恤和皮夹克,给整体感觉添加了一份帅气和摇滚风。

Zara nude blush pink pleated maxi skirt

This Zara nude/blush pink pleated chiffon maxi skirt is definitely my favorite of all, my girl friend got it for my as a gift. I love everything about it, the soft color, the texture, pleated shape; I will show you guys more styles later when I wear it.

我的最爱是这款裸色百褶长裙,来自Zara。这是好姐妹送我的礼物,超级爱,我以后还会给大家分享这个的更多搭配,因为我实在太爱它了。

J Crew purple maxi skirt, perfect for a beach day, running errand, or even a casual Friday look, this one is the most comfy of all.

紫色JCrew 长裙,超级百搭和舒服,周末去海边,逛超市,甚至是周五去公司,它都是我的最爱。

I think every girl should own a Maxi shirt, no matter what body shape are you; there is always a right style for you. Thanks for being with me if you are still reading this post, I hope this helpful, have fun styling your MAXI!

我觉得所有的女孩都该拥有一条长裙,无论什么样的身材类型,一定有款适合你。感谢大家,希望我的搭配对你有所启发, 咱们下次再见啦!

Xoxo,

Hi my loves, I am back! Hope you are all having a fabulous spring time, I am definitely enjoying the warm weather in LA, and I can’t wait it to get even warmer.

As you guys have seen everywhere, black and white are pretty big for this season, which is different than the normal spring pastel color theme. I got this black and white dress from the Madewell sale section, they still have it here. I absolutely love this fun print of this dress, and it fits perfectly for the black and white trend. This is my first purchase from Madewell, I love this brand, really great quality, and the style is so effortless and chic. I am wearing my JCrew white button-down shirt, and I love the casual fit and light wash texture, it is a must-have layering piece just like the JCrew Chambray shirt. To break the black and white pattern, I chose this yellow statement necklace and hotpink purse. It is all about balance when you play with color and pattern, think out of the box and be chic!

Have a fabulous one my loves!

JCREW CHAMBRAT SHIRT~1 SHIRT 6WAYS

by Lu Lu on 16/12/2012

Hi my loves, hope you all are enjoying this beautiful holiday season. Normally this time of the year, I go pretty crazy about holiday shopping, since it is hard for me to resist all the good sales in store. This year, I’ve decided to use what I already have to create more new looks without buying too many new pieces. The only thing I got from Black Friday sales this year is this JCrew Chambray shirt, and I have been obsessed with it ever since. It is not a stunning piece when you first see it in store, but once you style it with difference pieces, you will realize how versatile it is, from day to night, summer to winter, caudal to dressy! This shirt retails for $78 in JCrew, it is definitely on the pricer side compare to other denim/cotton shirt, but it is so soft and quality is absolutely amazing, I think it is totally worth the price, and I highly suggest to make the investment:) JCrew had 25% off everything for Black Friday, so I got mine for ~60, and I am so happy about this purchase. Here are 6 different styles I came up using this shirt, hope it can give you some styling inspirations!

First look: Layer it under any sweater or cardigan-You can pair it with basically any sweater/cardigan, solid, printed, bright or neutral color, it will instantly make the causal sweater look so much dressier. Layering is always the key when it comes to fall/winter style, and this shirt will be your best friend:) Other details: JCrew hot pink sweater//JCREW beige MacAlister high-heel ankle boots, on sale for ~65 now, amazing price! //Steve Madden Messanger bag

Second look: Pair it with color jean. I have been loving the color jean trend since this spring, neon yellow, royal blue, orange, burgundy are all my favorites. if you are not sure what to wear them with, just grab this Chambray shirt, it will go with every single color. Other detials: Rebecca Minkoff mini M.A.B//Steve Madden suede booties//H&M burgundy skinny Jean// Black faux leather bracelet with gold french stud/screw stud  and Gold chunky chain necklace from my shop Lulu’s Fashion shop 

Third look: Pair it with sequined jacket and faux leather bottom for a party look. Sequin and faux leather are all my fav party outfit essentials, and I think this Chambray shirt definitely adds some different texture and layers to pull together the whole look together. Other details: Zara Sequined jacket//H&M Faux leather short//all bracelets from my shop Lulu’s Fashion shop 

Forth look: Pair it with Military jacket for an edgy and casual look. I love military jacket for fall season, I got this one from Zara this fall, and I like it is more tailored and has some rhinestone embellishment detail on the pocket. I think the shirt helps to balance off the edgy feel of this faux leather legging, military jacket, and stud handbag. Other details: Zara skinny stripy sandal//Alexander Wang Rocco handbag//Faux leather spike bracelet from my shop Lulu’s Fashion shop 

Fifth look: pair it with bright yellow tweed jacket and white pants. You know how much l love my Zara yellow tweed jacket from my previous blog post. I will definitely wear this outfit for a Sunday brunch when it is spring.Other details: Old Navy white pants//Rebecca Minkoff mini M.A.C in peach

Sixth look: pair it with T-shirt and short for a casual vacation look. This is shirt is perfect for a summer layer, if you need something warmer than a T shirt, and it will go with all the fun summer colors.Other details: Neon short from JCrew//Arm candy from my shop Lulu’s Fashion shop 

Hope you had fun reading this blog, and get some inspirations from it. Leave me comments you like this shirt too, and share with me how would you style it.

There is no rules in the fashion world, think outside of the box, and stay chic!

xoxo~

Polka Dotted

by Lu Lu on 04/12/2012

Hey Loves, today I saw my friend’s awesome blog post, and I got totally inspired. I missed my blog, and I know some where out there you guys are waiting for me post, that all what matters:) Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, the weather in LA has been really warm except these two rainy weeks. Sometime I saw some amazing layered fall/winter outfits, and I get really jealous, I miss my knee high boots and peacoats! Hopefully the weather gets colder later this month, so I can dedicate more winter outfit posts for you guys. To some of you guys, this outfit is more like an early-fall outfit, but it is totally perfect for a LA day, if you live in a colder area, just add a jacket or peacoat, that would be really cute! I have been obsessed with Polka dot since this fall, I think they are so famine, cute and vintage looking, and it instantly adds some fun prints to the whole outfit. I got this black/white Polka Dot sweater from Old Navy, this is actually the first piece ever I got from Old Navy, I was always hesitated about their quality, but this sweater has been holding up pretty well after a few washes, and it is super soft. I got this scarf from J Crew (on sale of course), I love this burgundy and hot pink color combo. Both my sweater and scarf have polka dot prints, but since they are different sizes, I think they work perfect together, and that’s why I balanced them off with this super simple neutral camel color wool skirt. If you already have a lot color or prints going on, just add some neutral pieces, this trick never fails for me:) My booties are from Target, simple and versatile. I am really willing to try different color and prints for my clothing, but most of my handbag, shoes, belts are more on the neutral  side, remember it is all about the balance!

Last but not least, most of bracelets are from my Esty shop Lulusfashionshop, go check it out if you haven’t yet:)

Stay tuned for more posts! Have a fabulous holiday month!

October~Fall~Burgundy love

by Lu Lu on 08/10/2012


Hey my beautiful friends, long time no see! I am sorry for missing for a while, I know we are all busy and I don’t want to get into my excuses. I miss you guys and my blog so much, and I feel so good to be back:) October is my favorite month, and fall is my favorite season, what’s the best thing to celebrate?-Fashion!!! I love all the fall colors, layers, boots, hats, scarfs, I am really excited about this cold weather.
As you can see in store, Burgundy is definitely one of most popular color this season, I didn’t own too many burgundy pieces in my wardrobe, but when I tried it on, I felt in love with this color. I think it is so feminine and romantic, and it looks flattering on so many different skin tones, go and try a burgundy piece if you haven’t yet! I got this burgundy skinny jean and floral shirt from H&M, I adore them and I am sure both of them will be my fall statement pieces. I like to wear booties for early fall time, and this pair is from Steve Madden, and this neutral taupe color is so easy to style. Inspired by JCrew, I think burgundy looks really amazing with hot pink, so I paired this leather bracelet from my Etsy shop, I like the feminine touch it gives to the whole look.

Hey my beauties!  Hope you are doing well and staying cool. Los Angeles has been sooo hot recently, I used our A/C in our apartment last weekend for this first time since this summe. lol…. Los Angeles probably has the best weather in the world, so I can’t complain too much. Actually, I am kinda of enjoying this hot weather, the beach, the sun, the smoothies…What’s my go-to summer outfit to beat the summer heat?-A simple sun dress~I try to keep the minimum for my makeup and accessories, because sometime less is more. I got this dress from Forever 21 last year, the vibrant print helps to bring out more tan, and the color combination is so summary. I paired it with this pink wrap bracelet from my shop, since it goes so well with the pink floral print on the skirt. And the stone and crystal are perfect for summer. If you like it, check it out here. The light brown leather sandal is from JCrew, I got it during the summer sale, it was down from $238 to $50, I can’t believe my eyes when I saw the final price. I have been loving JCrew shoes, lots of them are made in Italy, and sometime they have really awesome discount. (btw, they are stilling having 30% off on all the final sales items, the code is “shopnow“, go check it out if you are still looking for summer pieces) JCrew-I love you! This leather wedge is so comfy and well made. I think a neutral wedge sandle is definitely a must have for summer wardrobe, it goes pretty much with everything, dresses, shorts, color jean, print pants….you name it.

Stay well and be Chic. See you guys soon~

by Lu Lu on 08/08/2012

Hey my lovlies,

I have been so busy with work and my Etsy shop recently, and sorry for the long time no posts:) If you haven’t checked out my shop yet, I will be sooo thrilled if you check it out-Lulu’s Fashion Shop. Thanks so much for all the support from my friends and my customers, that really means a world to me. I will keep adding more fab pieces in my collection, and I hope you guys like it.

I am really loving the Peplum trend recently, and I saw so many awesome posts rocking this trend. Check out Crazy Style Love -Florals and Stripes; Wendy’s Lookbook-Harvest Summer: Russet peplum & Amber clutch; Chic Chef -Animal print Peplum. I love the femmine and clean cut, and it is so easy to dress it up with just a statement necklace. I got my white one from H&M, the quality is really good, and it is ~34. Since my top is really neutrale and plain, I chose this bright blue jean to have some color fun. I really adore this piece, and I think I will wear it a lot in the late summer season.

Hey guys, happy Monday, and I hope you all had a lovely weekend. This is my Sunday night outfit for our dinner out. I think every girl should own at least one little black dress in her wardrobe, well~ in my case, several….But I do  choose different cut, material, details for my LBD collection. The reason why I love this piece is absolutely about its details, the back cut out, leather trim at the waist line, and pleated skirt. I got it from H&M for $35, shocking, right? I paired it with this pair of super sexy stripy sandal from Zara, btw,  Zara came out many stripy sandals like this for summer, which I have seen on so many blog posts. For accessories,  I kept it really simple. I love my arm candies, but sometime less is more, to achieve a chic and classic look, I chose this white mother of pearl and silver nuggets wrap bracelet. This is one of my favorite pieces in my shop. It is so delicate and well made, and I think it is perfect for this look. You can find this piece here.

by Lu Lu on 25/07/2012

Hey dolls, hope you are doing fabulous. It has been chilly at evening time in LA, especially close to the Ocean. I wore this outfit for a BBQ dinner, they are all basic pieces, but I dressed them up with my accessories. I am a huge believer that accessories and details can change the whole look. My Etsy shop is launched. OH YAY,  I am so excited~ I am still adding  more pieces, but you can have sneak peek now here. I want to share my arm candy love with you in my shop. Check it out if you love my braceletes. This denim jacket is my summer must have, I think it goes with most of my summer outfit, shorts, skirts, dresses. I got this one from H&M  2 years ago for about $ 25, H&M is a really awesome place to get basic pieces. I got this button up shirt from Zara.com from Sales section for $50, which was originally $98, amazing deal! My favoriate part of this shirt is leopard print and the two gold studs on the collar, love details. The leather short  is my all time favorite from H&M, if I don’t need to go to work, I wan to wear it everyday, that’s how much I love it.

Hey my dolls, I wore this super simple outfit for our Hana highway day. This is what I like to wear if we have a long drive or we need to do some outdoor activities. The view of Hana highway is absolutely breathtaking, I do think this is where they shot Avatar, is it?  Let me know if you know:) We stopped by a super cute ice cream shop ~Coconut Glen, they have the non-diary organic 100% coconut ice cream, they serve ice-cream in the coconut shell, so everything is really natural. They ask you to “Gong” if this is the best ice cream you ever had. I did course, and did taste really amazing. I actually knew this store before we went to there from Judy and Benji’s Honeymoon video. (if you you don’t know who are they, Judy has her amazing fashion & makeup youtube chanel “Itsjudytime”, I’ve learned so many awesome tips from her. Benji is her hunsband, he has his life stytle and cooking channel “BenjiManTV” ) If you are going to Hana in Maui, you have to stop by this place. After at least 3 hrs drive and 1 mike hike in the rain forrest, we finally made to “Black bamboo forest”, I ‘ve never seen so many bamboos in my whole life,  and I wish all the pandas can live there, that would be heaven for them:) On the way back, we stopped by at “Black sand beach”, it was so gorgeous, and I took 3 little black rocks with me back to LA. We had a blast that day, Maui I miss you~~
