For me, Coachella is the warm up for summer fun, especially outdoor concerts. Flowy tops, hot shorts, comfy shoes, sunglasses and hands free bags are essentials for music festival as you can spot on Kendall Jenner above.

Speaking of this new ‘It’ girl, who could have a chance to sit front row at London fashion week with Anna Wintour at age 18? This girl has a bright future ahead. I wondered what I was doing at her age?!

In Chinese: 对我来说，每年的科切拉音乐节是各种夏日狂欢的热身。户外音乐节必备的装备：轻透飘逸的上衣或裙子、热裤、舒适的鞋、太阳镜和斜挎的小包等都能在肯达尔·詹娜(Kendall Jenner)的这套造型出挑又‘实用’的造型里看到。

说起卡戴珊家族里这位炙手可热的新星，谁能在18岁的时候就有机会和安娜·温图尔(Anna Wintour) 并肩坐在大牌秀场的前排？根据她在过去四年的代言和广告，星途不可限量，比比真是汗颜啊！

How to Wear Overalls, Olivia Palermo, street syle 2014 Photos: Olivia Palermo; Courtesy of pacificcoastnews.com.

I have been hunting high and low for a great pair of denim overalls. I want one that stays true to its utilitarian root while complements my personal style. This pair on Olivia Palermo fits the bill perfectly: I love the inky wash and tailored silhouette, also greatly appreciate that it still has all the elements of a classic denim overalls: buckled strips, loops, and a patch pocket details the bib. Pair it with feminine, sophisticated pieces for a grown-up, urban chic vibe.

In Chinese: 一直很想收一条大热的牛仔背带裤，找了很久都没有满意的，不是颜色不理想就是版型太松垮。直到看到奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这条：黑色水洗加上修身的裤型，让原本过于休闲和孩子气的背带裤多了份都市感，同时又完整地保留了这种工装裤应有的元素，比如金属的搭扣、可调的背带、腰带圈和前兜上的口袋车线等。配上女人味的单品和配饰，休闲又优雅。

Peter Som For Kohl’s is finally shoppable! The collection truly reflects the designer’s essence: classic, feminine style with a playful and quirky touch. This shirtdress on Kate Bosworth is perfect for summer parties and music festival. I love how the style savvy brought out the spirit of the collection by pairing it with tough booties and a whimsical clutch.
