The HIP List: Trending Coachella Festival + Summer 2013 Fashion

Soaring temperatures are never a deterrent to music lovers and Coachella festival is bursting with activity in desert heat. Are you too heading onto a music festival with your pals or a serene beach vacation is on mind ? Take a cue from this HIP list.
1. Daydress or Sundress: Bask in the sun while upping your oomph factor in knee length dresses. Enjoy the day, give a shout out and remember to sneak in a bikini in your bag.

2. Makeup: Bright lips, shimmery eyes and glittery nails, here is my pick on the must haves.

(1. Guerlain Coup de Foudre 2. Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet L'Exuberante 3. Hare Polish Hooky At The Hamlet 4. Hare Polish Party Palace)

3. Evening wear: The inspiration for evening is Carrie Bradshaw on the beach in Sex and The City 2 wearing coral Halston dress. The style is laidback, relaxed and a bit vintage.

4. Shoes: Wedges and Espadrilles are the go-getters for summer active fashion. Comfortable, supportive and protective, would be my adjectives for these.

5. Serena Jackets: Embellished,studded,sequinned,leather, you name it she has it. I am talking about the uber stylish embellished jackets worn by Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, so the given name Serena Jackets. These are cropped and sleeveless, and can be worn over anything from vests to dresses.
