Carly Rae Jepsen was photographed for New Zealand’s Coup de Main magazine wearing the Birkin Peplum Dress in Pop Floral Print by Maurie & Eve ($199.95 AUD) with Dr Martens 1460 Boots in hot pink patent lamper ($115.00).

If you don’t know Carly Rae Jepsen by name, you’ve probably heard her hit single “Call Me Maybe” which is currently the #2 song in the US and has hit #1 in her native Canada and 11 other countries. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter placed third on Canadian Idol back in 2007, but hadn’t broken out into worldwide success until recently.

Kreayshawn Hello Kitty Dr Martens

Kreayshawn portrait by Wunmi Onibudo

Kreayshawn is a huge Hello Kitty fan and even has a Hello Kitty tattoo! She’s wearing the limited edition Dr Martens Sanrio Shoreditch boots which have a print of all Sanrio’s characters. You can find these boots on eBay, though the prices can be high due to the rarity of the boots. The basic Shoreditch boots sell for $75.00.

Kreayshawn’s floral thermal top looks to be thrifted – judging by the fit, it’s probably from the kids’ section. You can get similar tops from Roxy ($39.50, pictured) or Free People ($58.00).

Hayley Williams: White Canvas Dr Martens Boots

I posted about these boots when Hayley first wore them thinking that they were the classic Dr. Martens, but then we saw the bottom of her feet in Kerrang and knew they weren’t. Mmmfrozenyoghurt figured out what they are – the Shoreditch boots. The white color seems to be unavailable, but you can find them in many colors fro around $70.00 on Amazon or in the Dr Martens webstore.

Ariel for Hire's pink boots, ripped jeans, skeleton tee, and belt

I’ve gotten a few requests to post Ariel For Hire, so here goes. Ariel has a really crazy and fun style, if that wasn’t obvious from her neon hair. She loves hot pink and other bright colors as well as black and white. She’s extremely creative with her style and makes a lot of her own clothes — she actually sells custom pieces through an Etsy store which has tutus for $25.00 and hooded scarves for $38.00.

A typical outfit for her is a reconstructed tee with a tutu or other short skirt worn over ripped jeans. She likes wearing wrist cuffs piled over fingerless gloves. Her footwear choices are combat boots and super-tall high top sneakers.

This look is one that she wore back in 2009, so even though I’ve tracked down some of her exact pieces, it’s unfortunately sold out now. You might recognize her boots as Dr. Martens. They are the 1B99 in Pink Patent Leather and if you’re not a size 11 you can try classic 1460 in hot pink or Ariel’s taller style in Ruby Jewel. You can get slashed up jeans like hers for $75.00 from Current/Elliott, but I recommend you save yourself some cash and cut up a pair of your own.

Her top is a custom piece which she made from sewing Iron Fist’s Wishbone T-shirt together with black, pink, and striped fabrics and cool trims. This exact tee is sold out, but it’s available in other color combos – including hot pink – on Amazon and eBay.

Her exact belt is the Volcom Chester Belt, which is sold out, but you can get another very similar belt from Volcom or other similar belts from LRG and Empyre. Also pictured above are fingerless gloves for $22.00 from Etsy and a pink and black striped top for $14.80 from Forever 21.

Hayley Williams in an American Apparel tank

Hayley Williams in Doc Martens

Paramore appeared at the CMT Music Awards in Nashville last night, where they introduced The Band Perry during the show.

Hayley wears the sheer Chiffon Camisole from American Apparel ($26.00) over a black strapless bra. There is no image of the black tank on their site, but it is currently available. Her skirt is also from American Apparel, it is the Chiffon Double-Layered Full Length Skirt ($58.00). Hayley took the chain off of an old purse and wore it as her belt. She is wearing a pair of work boots from Dr. Martens. It is hard to see them clearly, but it looks to be their classic 8-eye 1460 style ($115.00), probably in black smooth leather.

Hayley’s oversized cross necklace, clunky boots, and chain belt make her all-black ensemble look very gothic, but she avoids looking too dark with her brightly colored hair and fresh-faced makeup look.
