Um, where did the time go? Easter is only three days away! But if you're like us and have been too busy rejoicing the fact that spring is FINALLY HERE to actually think about what you're going to wear this weekend, that's totally fine. We get that. So we've done the hard part for you and scoured the internet for some of the cutest Easter-worthy outfits the WWW has to offer. Yes, there are the expected pastel sundresses. But we've also included skirts, pants, and even jumpsuits(!) into the mix, so consider all your springtime bases covered. And the best part is, these pieces are totally versatile, which means you can wear them long after your family brunch has ended, the Easter egg hunt is over, and your sugar high has finally passed. So grab your credit card— you might need express shipping on this one— and LET'S SHOP.

PRINTED DRESSES

Wear a printed dress this Easter!

In our brains, breezy printed dresses are THE quintessential springtime uniform. Wear them with sandals when padding around the city during the day, dress 'em up with heels or wedges at night...seriously, there are SO many options. Plus, a bonus: all three of these frocks have a modest knee-skimming silhouette, which means they're family-friendly for Easter, without sacrificing the cute factor. Win win?

When Karl Lagerfeld isn't busy crafting custom dresses for Rita Ora and recruiting musicians like Frank Ocean for intimate Chanel showcases, don't expect to find him kicked back on the couch catching up on ABC Family reruns. In classic overachiever fashion, this is a man who clearly DOESN'T do well with free time, and his new collab with Melissa Shoes is pure evidence of that. Not that we're complaining or anything, because that just means there are more Karl goods for the rest of us! Take the designer's new Melissa shoe collection, for example. We first tipped you off to the plastic kicks back in December, and now they've finally landed! The Kaiser and the rest of his crew fêted the Kollaboration (yep, that's the name) in New York last night, where everyone got to peep *those* ice cream high heels in real life.

Between this week's New York Times profile on founder Sophia Amoruso (they nickname her "Cinderella of Tech"), a rumored deal with Urban Outfitters, and its day-to-day biz of dressing girls in generally badass, super cute clothes, Nasty Gal is clearly on a fast track to world domination. But first, the label has to make a quick pit stop at Coachella. For the newest lookbook, Sophia and co. recruited YouTube star and all-around Cali cool girl Pia Mia Perez to model the brand's latest collection of festival-ready wares. We first suspected something rad was brewing between the two when Sophia posted this picture to Instagram a couple of weeks ago with the caption "@princesspiamia prepares to caravan across the desert with our team to shoot the upcoming Coachella lookbook. Instagram castings do happen!" Hold up, Instagram CASTINGS?! With almost 200K followers on her @PrincessPiaMia account, Sophia isn't exactly plucking Pia Mia from obscurity, Cinderella-style...but the unusual story of how the teen scored her first real modeling gig does sound a bit like a 21st century fairytale.

Zac Efron Smolders On The Cover Of 'Flaunt'

OK, so this just has to be said: when we laid eyes on Zac Efron's new Flaunt magazine cover, the first sounds out of our mouths WERE NOT ENGLISH. They weren't even words! It was more like, "Ohhahhhooowhat?" and it took everyone in the office a full five minutes to recover from this little episode. We're telling you this slightly embarrassing recollection because a.) it's true and b). it's proof that Zac, with his 5 o'clock shadow, his groomed (but not too groomed) coif, and his baby blue eyes gazing dreamily off the page, STILL possesses an inexplicable magic power over us. No matter how old you are, no matter how awkward you might feel, there's no denying it. Embrace the hotness that is Zac Efron! After all, it's really nothing new. But whereas most recently we saw the actor put his glistening muscles on display in John John Denim's campaign, for the April issue of Flaunt he does a complete 180 and shows his softer side.

Dakota Fanning Brings Back Her Pink Hair

Colorful ombre hair was THE beauty trend of summer 2012, with fans like Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and Dakota Fanning riding this rainbow wave throughout the season (and inspiring everyone else to do the same!). But while Demi and Sel may have reverted to more natural shades after a few weeks, Dakota's clearly still feeling her pink hue from last year— so much so, that she's brought it back! It's hard to believe that it was last January when we first spotted the Very Good Girls actress showing off her dip-dyed watermelon locks out and about in Los Angeles. Keeping the rest of her hair a natural blonde, this ends-only approach gave the star an effortlessly edgy vibe that's wearable enough for everyone too nervous to go all the way. In other words, this 'do is an image practically cemented into our memories, so it's no huge shock that this recent snap of Dakota working an identical style naturally caused a double take.

Emma Watson Receives MTV Trailblazer Award: See Her Most Trailblazing Outfits

Posted 3/26/13 9:12 am EST by Liza Darwin in MTV Movie Awards, Red Carpet

There are about a zillion and one reasons to love Emma Watson, but we've just found another: the British actress has received the 2013 MTV Trailblazer Award! Although the actual MTV Movie Awards ceremony itself isn't until April 14, Emma's ahead of the game, nabbing the Golden Popcorn bestowed upon the star with the most diverse performances. Just like last year's recipient Emma Stone, Emma's proven her chops with wide-ranging roles, like high school dream girl Sam in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, wardrobe assistant Lucy in My Week with Marilyn...and who could ever forget her breakout as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter? The 22-year-old has traveled lightyears away from her frizzy-haired, bushy-browed debut, and with a lead in Sofia Coppola's forthcoming flick The Bling Ring, her star is still continuing to rise. Emma's a total pro at the style game as well, rocking consistent red carpet hits and fronting campaigns for Burberry and Lancome. So to celebrate her newest honor, we're rounding up some of her most trailblazing outfits!

Disclaimer: before we dive in, it should be noted that it was really hard to narrow down all of Emma Watson's amazing ensembles into one neat and tidy list. But it had to be done, so here goes. Emma's a complete master at the art of the short formal dress. After all, who really needs a ballgown to make a statement these days?! From that glittery gold Burberry dress she wore to the label's runway show in 2009 to the Marchesa mini with encrusted sleeves at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards to the bow-embellished Valentino from a Lancome event, cocktail dresses have never looked so cool. Rather than rocking something predictable, she repped by emerging designer Brood in a white one-shouldered statement piece at a screening of Perks last year.

Jessie Ware Is A Rising Style Star

Posted 3/25/13 3:45 pm EST by Liza Darwin in Ladies, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet

Thanks to her soulful breakout singles like "Wildest Moments" and "Running," by now everyone should be very well acquainted with the vocal powerhouse that is Jessie Ware (if not, get schooled here!). But something else that you should know about our latest Artist To Watch is that the London singer has an elegant style that perfectly complements her honey-smooth sound, and this is why we're naming her our newest Rising Style Star.

Proving that you don't always have to OD on glitter or rock rainbow wigs to necessarily make a statement, Jessie sticks to low-key red carpet staples with a quiet power. One consistent thread running through many of her outfits over the past year is not-so-basic black, like that effortlessly cool crop top number by Miu Miu she sported to this year's BRIT Awards. The bedazzled sleeves lend the outfit a touch of opulence, the flash of midriff gives it edge, and the long skirt keeps the look from swaying too far into belly dancer territory. Something else we've noticed: the 27-year-old tends to choose long, ankle-to-floor-skimming silhouettes, like the white floral embellished dress she wore to the BRIT Awards nominations and the sophisticated cut-out gown she rocked at the Mercury Prize Awards. There's no denying that Jessie has impressively mastered the formal fash thing in record time, but when she's NOT collecting prizes left and right (which is becoming rarer and rarer these days), chances are the singer has slipped into her off-duty uniform of tailored pants and classic blouses.

Sure, you can hang out backstage at the Chanel show all you want (in our dreams!) but how do you know you're REALLY tight with Mr. Karl Lagerfeld? Well, if you happen to Rita Ora, that would mean winning bragging rights to a dress designed by the Kaiser himself! NBD, right? Rita performed at the suuuuuuper fancy Bal De La Rose Du Rocher event in Monte-Carlo this weekend, decked out in a burlesque-inspired dress custom-made by the Chanel designer and making a serious statement at the sold-out event. She tweeted an image of the sketch a couple of days ago, saying "Tonight's attire. Designed by Karl Lagerfeld called the The Ora. Fashion it does the craziest things sometimes. #wow #Chanel #fukwatevaitisyourdoing Hehehe #werowdy." Rita, we hope you've saved the sketches in a gold-plated frame for all of posterity, because THIS.IS.MAJOR. Also, the fact that Karl dubbed the dress "The Ora"?! Here's another hashtag for ya... #Jealous.

Kristen Stewart Wears Osman Studio At 2013 Kids' Choice Awards

It's been a minute since we last heard from Kristen Stewart—and after dealing with an injured foot at the Oscars, girl probably could've used a break! So needless to say, we were psyched to see the actress out at tonight's 2013 Kids' Choice Awards, turning heads in a major way. Dressed in a navy blue shorts outfit designed by Osman Studio, K.Stew looked KILLER, that much is obvious. While we all know she can rock floor-length gowns like a pro, and it's also a well-publicized fact that she loooves to go cas in sneakers and a t-shirt, the cool thing about her outfit here is that it actually straddles the line between the two. Part off-duty K.Stew and part ultra-glam movie star, these easygoing shorts plus classic black pumps are the perfect combination. It's not the first time she's eschewed a dress for shorts at events, and the leggy look is a formula that obviously works.
