Birthday outfit idea: crop top and high waisted pants Photo: Jaime King; Courtesy of Aleks Kocev.

For those who want to try the hot crop top trend but not comfortable showing skin, take a hint from birthday girl Jaime King, choose one that is slightly longer with a boxy cut, and pair it with high-waisted bottom, so you still get the crop effect, but nothing shows. Another thing that caught my eyes of this look is the white and chocolate brown color combination, so chic!

In Chinese: 如果你不想错过大热的超短款潮流，又对自己的身材不是很有自信，杰米·金(Jaime King)的这个生日造型能给你些灵感：选择稍长些、箱型剪裁、不贴身的款式，搭配上超高腰的裤子或裙子，赶时髦的同时，既有修饰的作用又能拉长身形。这个造型里另一个吸引我的元素是这一季又热起来的一个色彩组合：白色和深巧克力色。你会尝试吗？ Birthday outfit idea: crop top and high waisted pants

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！

Slouchy leather pants are great alternative to the ubiquitous leather leggings. they are relaxed, comfy, unexpected and very flattering. This season, pick a pair with elastic waist for a cool sporty touch (and one more dessert, anyone?). I love how Alessandra Ambrosio juxtaposed hers against sexy and feminine bow pumps. The look was best complemented with her off-duty nonchalance.

For now, wear the pants with a right-on-trend cropped jumper and a long vest or blazer for the right balance. When it’s warmer, pair it with your well-worn graphic tee or a flowy embroidered top.

In Chinese: 这种松垮的皮裤在运动风盛行的这几季很流行，比起处处可见的紧腿皮裤，这种裤型穿起来舒适又可以修饰肉肉腿。选择的时候挑略带锥形的版型，有松紧腰带的设计更呼应这一季的运动风，还可以吃到饱。穿的时候卷起裤腿露出纤细的脚踝，搭配上有对比的女人味的尖头鞋。

初春的时候配上毛衣或卫衣穿。如果选择流行的露脐款，外面加上长版的西装外套或马甲平衡露肤度。天气热些了，就可以配上这种酷酷的字母图案的T恤或波希米亚风的镂花小上衣。
