ElleGirl- This weekend’s Coachella marks the start of the sunnies-and-Wellies-wearing music festival season. Whether you’re gearing up for Bonnaroo or Lollapalooza, you’ll be in need of an outfit that is both outdoors-friendly and blends in with the likes of Kanye West, Robyn, The Kills, and Mumford & Sons. Must-haves include spring’s maxidress, printed shorts, basic rocker T-shirt, and utilitarian jacket. Pair any of these with the requisite wide-brim boho hat, huge shades, carry-all tote, flat sandals and chunky bangles, and you’ll be ready to go from the mosh pit to the after party.

Summer’s must-try hair style? Bohemian-inspired feather extensions, like Selena Gomez wore to Nickelodeon’s 24th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards earlier this month. They are real feathers that are attached at the base of a hair strand wherever you desire. You can wear these cool pieces on a single strand of hair or in clusters of four or five pieces. The extensions last for about six weeks and you can even curl them, flat-iron, or wash them. They range from $7-$45 depending on how many strands you want. To top it off the extensions come in a variety of colors from turquoise to earth tone neutrals, for people who love the bold vs. the subtle. So what do you think of this hair trend? Are you with it or totally not for it?

Lanvin spring 2011, Imaxtree
With a splash of reddish-pink hues that just scream spring, you’ll be soaking up the sunshine—not to mention right on trend this season. Lanvin made its spring 2011 runway pop with flowy silhouettes that really caught our eye. The fabrics look great for a beachy or casual attire on every skin tone.

Carolina Herrera spring 2011, Imaxtree
Wrapped-up or let down, curly ringlets or kinky crimped, natural or technicolor, spring presented a wide range of ‘dos for every type of hair and mood. One of the few constants it seems was the appearance of the clip (not the 80′s mega claw kind) that can be used to make your style elegant, playful, or just plain out of your face. Here are a few ways New York’s designers used the classic tool to inspire your own daily routine: Carolina Herrera adorned her geisha dolls with barrettes made out of hair, matching each model’s own color. Keeping the zen mood, the organic accessories were arranged in tight, abstract patterns on ponytails and buns.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2011, Imaxtree
For spring 2011, Marc Jacobs took the Louis Vuitton woman for a ride on the Orient Express. His Asia, Deco, and orientally-inspired collection bordered on costume and camp, but ultimately showcased just how seamlessly so many decadent pieces can work together. Golden metallics, dangling tassels, toggle ties, sheer floating fabrics, wide obi belts, lace-up sandals and lush colors all recalled the romantic Far East in art and film. So much in-your-face glamor might seem intimidating, but with these pieces, you can channel the Louis Vuitton runway look:

Who: Michelle Williams
What: The Cinema Society and Nancy Gonzalez screening of Meek’s Cutoff in NYC
Wear: Chanel dress and Salvatore Ferragamo heels
Michelle Williams might have been confined to the long, full skirts of her period costume while filming the Western Meek’s Cutoff, but she went full-on contemporary for the red carpet last night. Sporting her signature pixie cut, the indie darling shed her typical vintage threads for a deceptively simple cream Chanel shift with black sequined cap sleeves, which she paired with minimalist black Ferragamo pumps. Whether she’s wearing retro or modern styles, Williams knows how to keep ahead on the best-dressed list. We’re guessing that she’ll make us look at those prairie bonnets in a whole new light.

Red is one of the hottest hair hues for spring. Unconventional as it may seem, the striking shade adds the right amount of kick to all the nudes and whites we saw on the runways. However, from a personal experience which resulted in half my head green and the other half orange, I highly recommend going to a professional to dye your hair red. Red is not only the rarest hair color, but also one of the finickiest colors to attempt unnaturally. So before braving the bold color, read on for the top factors to consider to get the best results.

Who: Keira Knightley
What: 2011 Jameson Empire Awards in London
Wear: Rodarte dress
Keira Knightley has had an exceptional few days! First, she celebrated her 26th birthday on Saturday, and the next day she accepted the Hero award at the Jameson Empire Awards in London. A celebratory Knightley added in her speech: “I’m well up for a birthday snog, so please come and find me at table 14!“ Of course, she looks every inch the quirky Brit star we love in a ruffled Rodarte dress. The nude color, ruffled tiers, and relaxed cut are soft and feminine. Yet the adorable shirt collar brings in a touch of menswear, and the sequins and cutout shoulders keep the look festive.

Despite a picture-perfect pixie cut and porcelain, childlike features, Mia Wasikowska is no pushover. The breakout star of 2010 took on memorable roles in Alice in Wonderland and The Kids Are All Right, and is currently on the big screen playing the uncompromising heroine of Jane Eyre. Wasikowska’s sartorial selections are just as bold, with youthful, futuristic looks by Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, and Burberry as perpetual favorites. Set to star in Gus Van Sant’s hotly anticipated Restless, it looks like she’ll be striking a pose for a long time to come. Check out some of our favorite looks after the jump!

From the swarm of street style photos that emerged on blogs and websites during Fashion month, it seems that the designers, models, and bloggers of the fashion world may be our latest celebrities, making street style photographers the latest aggressive paparazzi. The “bloggers walk” at fashion shows has become a complete madhouse as the dozens of photographers try and get the best shot of fashion set going to and coming from the shows. So why the sudden ubiquity and aggressiveness of these photographers? Imran Amed of Business of Fashion says, ”several street style bloggers told me confidentially that the competition is extremely fierce for getting the best photographs, which can then be sold on to global editions of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar each for as little as $200, but up to $1000 or more.” As the demand for fashion gets higher, the fashion world becomes more exclusive with fewer seats at runway shows, limited edition products, and invitation only events. What do you think? Are street style photographers our new paparazz
