If you are only going to buy one new dress in summer 2024, it has to be a crochet dress, which best manifests a current trend called "quiet luxury." A beige crochet dress especially exudes an understatedly tasteful appeal, so it will look more expensive than the actual price tag.

Rosettes are in style right now. Why not don a summer dress that features a huge one at the center of the neckline?

Such a huge rosette will draw attention to your collar bone and its extra large size will make you look thinner by contrast. It will be surprisingly flattering. Don't think wearing black is the only way to create a slimming visual effect.

Tenniscore is one of the major trends right now, so we don't have to play tennis while wearing a tennis skirt, which can actually be quite versatile and therefore separable from tennis shoes. It's advisable to match it with more leg-flattering shoes if you are not playing tennis. 

Now it's cherry season. So, why not wear forever chic cherry print?

While cherry red is on trend, a cherry print actually looks cuter than solid cherry red. A cherry print crop top will especially work well with straight-leg jeans. To avoid a muffin top, we can choose a mid-to-high rise. 

I had a book signing at a Barnes & Noble store on April 21 in celebration of Earth Day on the next day, given the environmental theme of my new book, Seasonal Living with Splendid Poetry. It turned out that all the copies available at the bookstore that day were sold out. My husband attributed the success partially to my image. 

Capris are back. They can be cutely incorporated into a casual ensemble for a spring weekend, if you know how to style them.

Last year's fringe tops are still on trend this year. So, why not pair a fringe top with this spring's satin midi skirt?

While the Oscars weekend is coming up, you may be wondering who will be the best dressed on the red carpet. Whether you are going to an Oscars viewing party or not, in case you plan to attend a formal event in the near future, an evening gown that features rosettes can be worth considering.

Feb 24, 2024 is a special day not only because of the numbers. It coincides with the snow moon in American culture and this year's Lantern Festival in Chinese culture.

This year's Valentine's Day is going to be a weekday. What should you wear then? What can be office appropriate enough for that workday and attractive enough for Valentine's dinner?

A cropped cardigan can certainly help. Simply layer one over the strapless or low-cut dress you are going to wear.
