We rely on designers, stylists, and other fashion personalities to help us look good on the outside, but lately, it seems we’re craving a peek of their design-driven interiors. ELLE.com’s collaboration with The Coveteur, the brainchild of Erin Kleinberg, Stephanie Mark and Jake Rosenberg, offers a behind the scenes look at the inner lives and style of today’s tastemakers, such as Ilaria Urbinati, Khloe Kardashian, Yigal Azrouël, Roopal Patel and Brady Cunningham. The trio specializes in close-ups, operating around the introspective Dries Van Noten quotation: “It’s more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail—then you can dream all the rest around it. Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?” While they glorify the minuscule, other publications have been documenting the bigger picture, publishing stories on the predictably fabulous spaces of designers like Alexander Wang and Matthew Williamson. Small or large scale, the result is an enlightening exposure of the people we certainly read about, probably wear, but almost definitely don’t know. Here are a few highlights of where our favorite sartorial icons inhabit:

With the ferocious return of the maxi-skirt, we have been busy lengthening our hems and cloaking our stems. But not too far, ladies, as it seems that this ever so elusive industry has thrown us yet another curve ball with the flash awakening of the mid-calf skirt. Catwalk consensus has shown us, for the first time in a long time, models trotting down the runway exposing not much more than a hint of ankle. Full, strait, sheer or pleated, it may not be the sexiest of skirt spans, but it is indubitably the most ladylike. Veiling the legs allows one to rock the spiciest of stilettos while avoiding the guilty feeling that entrance into any given house of worship would be strictly prohibited. A towering pair of heels can also add altitude for those of us not lucky enough to be blessed with the Julia Roberts 44-inch stilts. Mini, and maxi, and midi, oh my! Yes, the schizophrenic fluctuations in hemline length may be difficult to keep up with, but we can’t help but embrace this latest impulse.

- Easter is this weekend, so besides being super excited for family dinners, little cousins, and buckets of candy (Only for the little kids? Yeah right.), we’re taking a little inspiration from the Easter bunny and pulling out our pastels. Unlike neutrals, jewel tones, and primary colors, pastels are one of those tricky color families that can go from pretty to horrendous in a heartbeat. So how to wear pastels without looking insipid? Mix it up. Pick one pastel accent, such as a flirty skirt or cute clutch and keep the rest of the outfit neutral, or go in the other direction and use a pastel as a backdrop to a punchy color. But whatever you do, don’t go head to toe in pastels! Toughen it up. It’s hard to call a studded pair of powder blue heels prim or a baby pink utility shirt saccharine. A normally tough or edgy item is a wonderful contrast in a pastel shade. Pick a Color. Stick with colors that you know you look great in. If your eyes really pop when you wear blue, pick up a dress in a pastel blue. Paint it on. Of course, makeup is a fabulous low-risk way to play with pastels. Lavender nails or a light pink blush are too fun to pass up!
Here’s how we would wear pastels this weekend:

The Dries Van Noten fall 2011 show proved that the devil’s in the details with the easiest update for your everyday ponytail. Simply switch out your elastic for a large metal ring to exude an edgy, minimalistic vibe. Hopefully high-street stores will pick up on this, but in the meantime get the look with these easy steps:
1. Find a large thick ring. A man’s thumb ring would work nicely.
2. Twist your hair into a coiled ponytail, wetting the hair first will help it stick together even more so it’s easier to thread through the ring.
3. Thread your hair through the ring and push up into your usual ponytail.

Who: Reese Witherspoon
What: Water for Elephants premiere in New York City
Wear: Jason Wu Fall 2011 dress
Reese Witherspoon looked every inch an American beauty in an elegant Jason Wu confection at the Water for Elephants premiere in New York City last night. Witherspoon is no stranger to Wu’s designs but this look might take the cake. The classic silhouette, on-trend cream color, and bubble hem add just the right amount of drama to her look. The shorter hem length shows of Witherspoon’s killer legs and her simple drop earrings let the dress really shine.

This cutie keeps chic and cool at last weekend’s Coachella festival in a high-waisted mustard skirt and lace top. She manages to keep her look practical with a cross body bag and flat lace up shoes while still staying trendy in a lace crop top and full skirt. Plus we love that sweet and sassy pixie cut! Peep our picks to get the look:

- Such European humbleness! Spanish born movie star Penelope Cruz recently revealed that on the set of the new Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, she had to resort to some very non Hollywood ways of relieving herself. While filming scenes with Johnny Depp on a remote Puerto Rico island, she was forced to use the ocean as a toilet!She told Entertainment Weekly magazine, "They (producers) left Johnny and I on a deserted island with no bathrooms to do a helicopter shot.That, for a pregnant woman, can be a little bit of a problem. So for those few hours I had to keep going into the water every 15 minutes."Aw, poor Penelope! However we're glad to hear that she didn't force them to fly in a porta-potty or something like that. Down to earth celebrities are an all too rare breed these days!
