ElleGirl- It looks like spring is finally here! Time to refresh your wardrobe, spring clean your room, and kick start that work out regimen. While you should be getting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day all year round (you are, aren’t you?), the imminent threat of beach season and a few new workout clothes and gadgets can help get you to the gym or out on the pavement. So pick up a new pair of sneakers, fill up your ipod with some new songs, and sign up for that boxing class—there’s nothing like a little sweat to make you feel brand-new and stress-free.

Fendi spring 2011, Imaxtree
As the winter boots are finally getting tucked away, we look to the spring 2011 runways for some open-toed inspiration. Chloé’s minimalist approach to sandals left nothing to be desired, while Tory Burch’s ornate thong flats were anything but orthopedic. And though many designers stayed grounded, others, such as Fendi and Yves Saint Laurent, lifted their heels skyward. Whether you prefer stilts or slippers, color blocked or python, there’s something in stores now that undoubtedly suits you. Here are some shoes to give your closet and your feet a breath of fresh air:

Who: Blake Lively
What: CinemaCon Awards 2011
Wear: Marchesa fall 2011 dress and Helena heels by Brian Atwood
Accepting the award for Breakthrough Performer of the Year, Blake Lively made a fiery-hot appearance at the CinemaCon Awards last night. For all her fashionable connections and chick-flick roots, you might think the Gossip Girl actress would look out of place next to her masculine Green Lantern co-stars. But cloaked in a red tulle, ruffle-skirted illusion dress by Marchesa, she showed off her stunt-toned muscles and looked every bit the stylish action hero. Add Brian Atwood’s towering ankle-strap pumps and this fashionista is ready to do serious damage to some comic-book baddies.

Looking every-inch a Hollywood glamor girl, the exquisite Basic Instinct actress continues to glow.

Hollywood has been off in la-la land recently, with a slew of fairytale-inspired movies ready to hit the big screen in the next year. One of the movies we are excited to see is a remake of Sleeping Beauty starring Hailee Steinfeld. While a producer has yet to pick up the script, with Hailee’s performance in True Grit, it shouldn’t be long before someone snaps it up. The movie will follow Sleeping Beauty into her dream world and her struggle to find her way back out. We love the feminist take on this old classic, and we can’t wait to see how it turns out!

- Life would be easy if you could just buy any trend you liked right off the runway (those Louis Vuitton heels anyone?) but a girl’s got to stay within her budget. If you have a beer budget but champagne taste, DIY is a great way to revamp your wardrobe for Spring without spending a lot. Even if you can’t sew on a button, here are three easy DIY projects to get that runway look for less: Chris Benz tassel belt
Chris Benz, Imaxtree You will need: Black and white tassels Several feet of cords Glue or clear nailpolish Measure out how much cord you will need to wrap around your waist and for the drop (I recommend about 9 feet for each belt). Cut the cord at the appropriate length. Dab each end of the cord in a little glue or clear nail polish and let it dry to keep the cord from unraveling. Tie a tassel onto each end. Repeat for the second colored belt. Wrap both belts around your waist twice, tie loosely in front. Balmain punk jacket
Balmain, Imaxtree You will need: An old jacket you don’t mind destroying. A leather motorcycle jacket is preferable, but a blazer or cotton jacket would look great too. Safety pins Studs Stud punch Chalk Ruler Using the chalk mark out where you would like the studs to be, along the lapels or shoulders are always a good look. Use a ruler to keep them in a straight and even grid pattern. Using the stud punch, insert the studs where you marked. Insert safetypins here and there, mixing them in with the studs. Dries Van Noten ombre tie-dye
Dries Van Noten, Imaxtree You will need: White piece of clothing Box of Rit Dye Bucket or a bathtub Follow the directions on the Rit package for dyeing clothing. Let it soak for a short period of time for a light wash of color. Rinse and wring it out, then dip part of the clothing back into the dye bath. Wait until the dye sets in for a darker color. Rinse and let dry.

Vera Wang is well known for designing beautiful wedding gowns that we love drooling over. The designer has dominated commerce with her skin care, bath products, and beauty accessories line with Kohl’s. So what’s up next for the brand? WWD has reported that Vera Wang has plans to start a menswear collection in addition to launching a cosmetics line with Estee Lauder. Wang says, “Like fashion, make-up is also transformational. I love the artistry of make-up to accentuate, enhance or create a mood for any time of day or occasion.” The label also brought Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester in! She’s signed a two-year contract making her the new face of Vera Wang’s upcoming fragrance. The fragrance is unnamed and has no release date yet but Vera describes it as “young.” Sounds like Meester is a stellar choice!

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

Jason Wu, Imaxtree This fall entices us to indulge in feathers. Designers like Jason Wu, Yves Saint Laurent, and Naeem Kahn flourished their designs with ostrich feathers in every color imaginable. From mini-dresses to coats and full-on gowns, fall simply set out to be filled with fringes and glam! One look by Jason Wu reveals cocktail mini-dresses with a clash of feathers, lace, and crystals, and YSL showcased light-as-a-feather business coats in every color possible. Naaem Kahn’s luxurious black and white looks are definitely Cruella-Deville worthy. Check out the looks after the jump, and tell us if you’d be down to sport some high-class down or prefer to leave the feathers to the birds.
