I believe that live music sounds best outside. However, dealing with the possible weather elements is not always fun. You have to consider the intense heat and sometimes the possibility of a rainstorm. I have been planning my wardrobe for my next summer concert in July, the British hit group Coldplay. Whether you are heading to Lollapalooza or another rockin concert, here are some stylish ideas to help you maintain your cool. The fashion ensembles I see at festivals are chic yet effortless. One tip: Don’t forget that just because the sun’s rays are shining on you, it doesn’t mean you should forget to dress appropriately. Keep your bits covered!

I love the casual look of denim shorts with a light tee. The shorts from Forever 21 are sexy with a slight faded look and are really affordable.  If you want to dress up your denim, try a pair like these paint splattered cut off shorts from Blank, exclusively at Urban Outfitters.  I like the way these look with a tank or a cap-sleeved tee. Another chic look is the adorable jumper, such as the batik zebra print from Thistlepearl, which is also available at Urban Outfitters. The sweetheart neckline and the pockets are cute touches, and the shoulder straps and ties at the waist will keep you comfortable while you enjoy dancing all night long.

Leave your stacked wedges and ultra-high heels at home, and keep your feet in simple sandals or canvas sneakers. I am checking out the new edition of sandals from Miss Trish of Capri for Target, especially these pair with a cute starfish design (above). Finish your look with simplistic details, like small earrings and an essential cross-over-the-body bag for a few things, and you are set to enjoy your favorite tunes. Have fun!

Memorial Day means a kick-off to summer, an extra-long weekend, and chilling out and barbecuing with family and friends. But you will have tear yourself away from the pool to drop in at the mega sale at dELiA’s this weekend. Starting May 21 through May 25, everything in the store is 20% off. You don’t want to miss the chance to stock up on T-shirts, summer dresses and shorts for the hot days ahead. The budget-friendly deal is valid in stores and at dELiA’s.

Target has done it again! The budget retailer launched Loomstate for Target, a wonderful collection of eco-friendly clothing and accessories with green designers Rogan Gregory and Scott Mackinlay Hahn. Now you can update your wardrobe with some fun pieces that are made of 100% organic cotton and very affordable! The Loomstate for Target collection is also available for men, so you might want to pick up a T-shirt made of comfy cotton for your special guy too.

The chic collection for women includes many verstaile pieces such as a light blue denim pencil skirt that will probably become my go-to piece this summer, and super soft T-shirts with screen prints of owls, dolphins and birds. The T-shirts coordinate very well with the denim skirt, which can be worn with flat sandals for a casual look or dressed up with a cute pair of wedges. The popular plaid shirt dress is also a significant part of the designers’ line, as are the T-shirt dresses that are easy to throw on and go. There are adorable tank tops, plaid shorts and bikinis to help you keep cool under the summer heat.

Loomstate for Target is exclusively available at Target and at selected Target stores for a limited time. Who knew doing your part for the Earth could look and feel so good?
