Cassadee Pope solo photoshoot

Cassadee Pope is wearing the Snow Leopard Off-The-Shoulder Cropped Tee from Express ($34.80) with her favorite Forever 21 faux leather shorts. Her wrist cuff is also from Forever 21 – it is their Floral Filigree Bracelet ($7.80). I’m not sure where she got her exact ring, but you can get similar rings from Kohls (top, $6.40) or Forever 21 (bottom, $6.80).

Dev in her "Dancing shoes" music video

Dev loves statement jewelry, and in her “Dancing Shoes” music video she wears two bold and oversized rings. Her hinged knuckle ring is the Armor-Dillo Ring by Melody Ehsani, made up of overlapping segments that bend like an armadillo’s shell. The ring sells for $35 at Karmaloop and $45 on Ehsani’s website. Her chain ring comes from Holbrooke by S.Berry. I believe it is the Film Noir ring ($90.00), though all of Holbrooke’s rings have this same style. The chains dangle between the two and fingers and move freely, creating lots of sparkle.

new photoshoot for Cassadee Pope's solo project

In case you haven’t heard, Cassadee Pope is going solo. Hey Monday are not done but they are taking a break and Cassadee will be going on her first solo tour starting tomorrow (tour dates on her Facebook page). She has released a cover of “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia and an acoustic video of an original song “Lunatic.” The above picture is the official photo for her solo project, so you may be seeing a lot more of it.

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’re probably aware that Cassadee loves Forever 21. Her fringed tee with cutouts around the waist is their Fringed Suedette Top ($17.80) and I believe her leggings and bracelet are from Forever 21 as well. There is not a bracelet in her color but two styles share the same shape: the Lacquered Wing Bracelet in pink or white ($6.80) and the Winged Cuff Bracelet in metal tones ($8.80). Their Sequin Shimmer Leggings ($24.80) look like what Cassadee is wearing, though I can’t tell if they are exact.

Ariel Bloomer of Icon for Hire performs at Cornerstone in 2009 - photo by twidream10

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.

Ellie Goulding is wearing the Belladonna One-Piece from Tavik Swimwear (£67 or $120). This swimsuit has round cutouts on the stomach and sides. The top and side ties are a pink leopard print while the bottom has a black and white tribal design.

Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" single cover art

Cher Lloyd goes for a bold and graphic look on her “Want U Back” album cover with the “Delta Force” printed t-shirt from Horace. She’s tied the oversized tee in a knot at her waist to turn it into a crop top. Her necklace is the pirate-inspired Aarrghhhh Necklace from Tatty Devine (£45.00), which has each letter dangling from a gold chain.

Special thanks to stylist Alexis Knox for sharing the items used in this shoot.

Kreayshawn is wearing the Jersey Peg Pant in Leopard Print from ASOS ($22.38). The tapered leg makes these a more fashionable alternative to traditional sweatpants. Her sweater is the Ashish Long Sleeve Top With Sequin Skeleton which is sold out and very expensive, but you can get a simpler ribcage sweater from Sourpuss Clothing for $52.00.

She’s swapped her usual Juicy Couture charm necklace for a clunky gold chain and large gold skeleton pendant. You can try the gold-tone Vivienne Westwood Skeleton Long Necklace pictured above ($134.99) or silvery skeleton necklaces from ASOS or Nordstrom. A similar Chain Link Necklace sells for $29.99. There are tons of costume jewelry door knockers, but I couldn’t find any cheap ones with this particular shape. I did find a 10K Gold pair of Square Door Knocker Bamboo Hoop Earrings for $229.95 from Soul Jewelry. For the record, Kreayshawn’s bamboo earrings are real gold. In an in interview with Dr Jays, she said:

“I have an accessory that I wear constantly, and it’s my gold bamboo earrings. Recently somebody did an interview with me, and they said that I was wearing fake bamboo earrings. Which number one: they never checked, and number two: they never asked. But they are real gold, ok! They were expensive. I bought them for myself on my birthday, dammit! And I wear them all the time.”

some of the many styles of hair bows that the Millionaires are selling

Melissa Marie Green of Millionaires has long been known for her giant hair bows, and it seems like’s she’s created quite a demand amongst her fans. Melissa and Allison starting hand-making their own hair bows and selling them online, but they can’t seem to keep them in stock — the third batch was posted yesterday and sold out within 5 minutes!  I was hoping to be able to post about the bows at a time when there are still some available, but since that’s a lost cause I recommend that you follow Melissa or Allison on Twitter to find out when they’ll restock with the next round of bows.  Each batch has different colors and prints and they have already done everything from florals to money print to sequins to cats.

Porcelain Black performs during Lil Wayne’s I Am Still Music Tour – PR Photos

Porcelain Black owns at least four bras from Marlies Dekkers, known for the creative use of straps as a design element, and she wears them both as tops for performances and under dresses as an extra decorative element. This one is the Beautiful Bat Black Padded Plunge Balcony Bra ($160.00). She typically pairs her bra tops with high-waisted hotpants, but these mega-tall shorts go above her natural waist and almost up to the bra. These Lillian Girdle Shorts are from latex designer Abigail Greydanus, who designed the black and white catsuit that Porcelain wears in her “This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like” music video as well as many of Katy Perry‘s latex dresses.

Shorts can be appropriate for winter when paired with tights and heeled shoes like Jacqui Sandell has done here.  Her picks are the faux-garter Pretty Polly ‘Suspended’ Tights ($25 at Nordstrom) and Jeffrey Campbell Lita Boots ($159.95 at Solestruck). She wears a cropped sheer peach blouse with high-waisted ripped denim shorts and accessorizes with a heavy chain necklace and studded iPhone case. Try Nasty Gal’s Bedazzled Tail Blouse ($58.00), Urban Outfitters’ Urban Renewal Cutoff Short ($44.00), and a Silver Studded iPhone Case from Gypsy Warrior ($30.00).
