Amber.Stardoll- British girls have a style all of their own and we have to say we love it! Both Brit fashionistas Alexa Chung and Karen Gillan have been seen wearing this cute stripey and girly Orla Kiely dress to events lately. Alexa went a bit more classic with a blue shawl and dark pumps while Karen had fun with a bright green bag and brown booties. Who do you think wore it best?

Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey on their wedding day in 2002.
Jessica Simpson‘s getting hitched again and his time around she’s older, wiser and apparently, ready to take on extra wedding responsibilities—like designing her own wedding dress. In 2002, when she married Nick Lachey, Simpson wore a classic white Vera Wang gown with embroidered floral lace on the strapless bodice and a wide princess-like skirt. Since then, Simpson’s built one of the biggest celebrity fashion empires. She sells shoes, bags, jeans—almost anything you can think of—and though she’s not actually adding bridal to her resume, she is tackling one look. “I think every bride wants to design her own dress or at least have a part in it. It won’t be like a Jessica Simpson Collection dress,” she told Extra. The wedding itself will happen before the end of the year. She doesn’t drop any hints as to what the dress will look like; we would have pegged her for pale pink, but now that that’s been done what do you think her personalized gown will look like?
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?

- After patiently waiting six months from spring’s fashion week debut, we’re finally able to purchase our favorite looks from the runway! And here at ELLEgirl, there is a sense of child-like excitement when deciding which designer favorites to adopt first. Since we’re not all factory-built like the goddesses who storm the runway, we found a trend that transcends all body types and can be found on dresses, shirts, skirts, and even shoes: cutouts. The trend was hot on the runways but also on fashionistas like Leighton Meester and Nicole Richie. Whether it’s a small incision to create eyelets or major surgery to reveal both shoulders or an entire back, one thing’s for sure: designers love to dissect.
