Red carpet is not just at the cinema events, it has a direct competitor, the MET Ball, a glamorous catwalk of outfits and celebrities, and altogether. What can you expect from an event organized by Vogue? Nothing else than the most fashionable celebrities. If cinema events show all the star system in action, here you can find fashion in motion.

As it is well known, the Ball is themed every year related to what Costume Institute Exhibition is showing, so this year is time to get rebel, punk is not dead. If last year was the feminine power with two muses as Schiaparelli and Prada, this year is time to become insurgen, Punk: Chaos to Couture.

Punk Studs, burgundy lips, zippers were the must-have of the event. Although the new item to be added to the punk list is ear cuffs. A big number of celebrities wore this jewelry piece.

One of the outfits which suited best with the theme of the Ball was the one from Nichole Richie. After lots of hours tanning herself, she decided to contrast her skin with a Topshop dress and she added a touch of punk with ear cuff.

But we should admit that one of our favorite ones, and one of the most according outfits to the party theme is the Wes Gordon dress which was worn by Constance Jablonski. She did not miss the key accessory of the night either: ear cuffs.

Who we are not sure she really understood what punk is was Miley Cyrus, well I would say what Fashion is. Not because the fact of emulating the spiky hair of Sid Vicious means you are a punk girl. Even the Marc Jacobs dress she wore and the ear cuff didn’t improve what was going on up to her face.

We don’t know if it is because of her youth but another actress who don’ t understand what punk is is Elle Fanning. Fortunately her ear cuff gives her a touch of elegance. She made a combination between a Cindy Lauper make up and a hippie die-tied dress from Rodarte.

If it is a fashion party you need models to give cache to your event. The starts of the night? Cara Delevingne (in Burburry Prorsum) – she is in all things –, Karolina Kurkova who wore a Mary Katrantzou dress or the 90′ s supermodel Linda Evangelista (in Marchesa ) were wearing ear cuffs.

Actresses also appeared at the event, and most of them were wearing this jewelry item, obviously each of them in a different and own style: the original inner ear jewelry in a shape of a wing that Mad Men’s Jessica Pare chose; the always well dressed Jessica Alba gets a perfect outfit again which matches with the ear cuff or the American actress January Jones who mixed a sparkling black Chanel dress with an original make up and an ear cuff. Although Bella Heathcote dress wasn’t the ‘punkiest’, Bella Heathcote’ helped herself to get the look with an enlarged eye line and an ear cuff.

However the pioneers of ear cuffs were the actresses Siena Miller and Diane Kruger. It is not the first time they have appeared at an event with this jewelry item.

Siena wrapped by Burberry Prorsum (it seems that Cara and her went to the same shop to buy her Met outfit), she matches her multiple spikes on her outfit with her ear cuff made by Genevieve Jones. Was for this reason that they finished the night kissing each other?

The other wise choice of the night, and the Lady Marshmallow favorite one, came from Diane Kruger: pink dyed hair on the ending, Chanel dress SS13 and ear cuff, she arrived late at the event, but she hit the carpet.

Lady Marshmallow wanted to join this fashionable jewelry, so… why don’t we add this item to our new collection? We’ve got two versions… the spiky one to follow this punk trend or the native version to get your Music Festival outfit. Which one is your fav one?

If you go to Coachella you need a ticket, but you also need a suitable outfit. There’s a dress code you have to accomplish if you want to be an authentic inhabitant of Indio.

This music festival takes place mainly during the day, so make sure your outfit is adequate to the daylight. The first indispensable thing you need to protect you against the sunlight and to cover your sleepy eyes is your sunglasses. But they can’t be ordinary, to be a proper bohemian hippie you need the rounded ones, as the hippie heritage rules.

Ditta Von Teese

Our recommendation? House of Holland sunglasses. This season they have launched an original collection of rounded sunglasses they have been the must –have of celebrities and fashion bloggers.

Ok, we accept as a substitute of the rounded ones, the heart-shaped sunglasses… Just because we talk about Coachella.

Another homage to the most popular music festivals of the 60’s is headpieces. We let you choose between three varieties: the headdress, the floral crown and chain headpiece or headband.

Headdress, due to the Native American trend, has become an important accessory in the festival music events, specially in Coachella. From famous people to the most ‘party hard’ assistants.

The second option we show you is the fashion bloggers favourite one, especially if they are Lana del Rey fans. Yes, we are talking about the floral crown in all its versions and kind of flowers.

But our favourite one is the chain headpiece. It gives you a touch of elegance to your outfit. We have to admit we are addicted to this accessory. In every collection that Lady Marshmallow launches, we find this element, even headbands. Head over heels for them!

No music festival is a music festival if you don’t wear any vintage item. In that case it’s time for vintage denim shorts. The positive part? You can customize them however you want. There won’t be two identical ones. Wake up your creative side.

Summer, hot and music festivals is synonym of crop tops, and if the music festival is named Coachella that’s compulsory. No excuse not to wear it.

If Coachella is well known for something  for the amount of fringes we can see wherever we turn our heads on. We’ve already created the look, let’s complement it with fringes. Some choose her bags or boots for that purpose, but we’ve chosen something better… Hello shawldigans, welcome to Coachella! Also named fringe kimono this item will complete your Coachella outfit.

If you think Charlotte Free is the rebel model with her pinkish hair and other colour brush-strokes, she has a new and much cooler competitor, Chloe Norgaard.

American born but hailing from Europe, half-Danish and half-Polish, she is one of the models of the moment. But her artistic side doesn’t stop here, she is also a dj and an artist.

The ‘Rainbow model’ as she is known, changes her hair colour as you can change the colour of your nails. But it doesn’t stop her to be one of the most demanded models nowadays.

Actually, when she started modelling she just coloured her hair on her days off. This occurred until last winter when she decided why she couldn’t dye her hair everyday if she really wanted. And what seemed a caprice started to be a sign of distinction and it really shows her personality: she doesn’t want to live a life in black and white.

That fact was confusing for the casting staff who always asked her why she had so many colours on her hair, she always answered ‘cuz I eat so much candies’.

However her passion for colours on her hair started really soon, when she was a kid she sprayed her whole hair in blue. At high school she used to dye her hair with sharpies. She always dyes her hair by herself, so she expresses what she really wants on it.

If she seems eccentric, her boyfriend is a good candidate to win the eccentricity trophy as well. He is the Danish designer –but London based- Asger Juel Larsen, The eccentricity is not only for his image but also for his gothic and androgynous creations on the catwalk, where most of time her girlfriend is the image of the collection.

Although her youth, Norgaard is 22-years old, she was on the catwalk for Rodarte AW13 the last NYFW, and for Moschino in the last LFW and the image of the trendiest fashion brands.

I guess you can’t want to finish without knowing what’s the real colour of Norgaard’s hair: she’s brunette.

Very varied trends are on the spot this season, and most of them are plenty of bright colours, drawings or geometrical shapes. But there’s another one which seems to go unnoticed but it’s obvious that it’s there.

We don’t know if it is because the influence of the new entrepreneur women but femininity has become one of the trends this spring summer 2013, in all its varieties.

It could be because of the floral crowns that Lana del Rey has popularized, the ‘We’re never getting back together’ influence from Taylor Swift, or the new British celeb, Kate Middleton that the femininity has come back. Flowers everywhere, pastel colours… and skirts that starts on the hip. It reminds us the 50’s, when women started to get into business.

Focusing on the point, the F-trend is not just on clothes, it is also on accessories and hairstyle.

The materials? Lace, crochet… Whatever lets you feel good. Femininity doesn’t mean sweetness, you can be feminine being Jacky Kennedy or Anita Ekberg in Dolce Vitta. However, between so many princesses we should say that F is also for ‘Fairy tales’

We saw this trend on the catwalks from Paris to New York.

Around this idea Lady Marshmallow has created its collection. Girl Power! as well known British singers said.

It’s hard to get rid of the Navy trend, that has been imposing fashion for a while now. And I’m not at all surprise how those cute little blue, white, baby doll, Lolita dresses, are hypnotizing all of us, at least myself. I’m addicted to all styles and shapes. From pants, dresses, dungarees, always while they keep the navy theme.

Here is a selection of  my favorite clothing and accessory items that I found on Internet.

Keep the navy theme, with some inspiring nautical Toms shoes, or even those lovely Vintage saddle shoes, that will look gorgeous with a dress, dungaree, shorts, etc… Also, a nice pair of ballerinas will look great, and if you rather go for high heels, try a pair of the so trendy clogs, similar to the ones Chanel exposed on its SS 2010 catwalk.

 

Nautical looks are everywhere at the moment, so it will be very easy to find similar clothing, accessories and shoes around your closest hig street stores. If you didn’t find anything yet, just wait for a little while that they bring out the Spring collection.
