If you are looking for something a bit cheaper, ASOS sells a similar three-finger wrapped snake ring for £3.00/$5.17 in silver or £8.00/$13.79 in gold.

Hayley Williams in a zombie wristband

Hayley Williams wore this glow-in-the dark “Zombie” rubber bracelet from Hot Topic ($4.99) at Warped Tour in Scranton, PA on July 14th. Hayley’s bracelets are usually gifts from fans – she’s also wearing a pony bead bracelet with her nickname “H-Bomb” and multicolored tri-bead bracelet which were made by fans – so this wristband was probably a present as well.

Sierra Kusterbeck promotes Payless' Brash line

Payless ShoeSource announced the launch of their new Brash line of shoes and accessories for teens, and they’ve partnered with VersaEmerge singer Sierra Kusterbeck to serve as the face of the brand. Many of the products are already available through Payless’ webstore and the first collection will hit physical stores on August 9th. Prices range from $6 for hair accessories to $50 for boots. The line will later include beauty products starting at $3.

Brash is meant for girls who have more of a unique and alternative sense of style. Explaining their choice of Sierra Kusterbeck as spokeswoman, Payless CEO LuAnn Via says “Sierra is a Brash Girl and she embodies the brand’s personality — she has a unique tough-yet-girlie style, is tremendously creative with her music and fashion and is a perfect picture of Brash style. We are thrilled to have found Sierra and believe she is a great fit to help us inspire girls to create their own Brash looks.”

Sierra has previously expressed her love of Jeffrey Campbell shoes which are much more expensive, but she appreciates the lower price point of the Brash line. “I love what Payless is doing in general to democratize fashion and this is the first cool, edgy line that’s affordable, which is great for teens. For them, affordable is the best word ever!,” Sierra says. “I often have girls approach me and ask ‘where did you get that?’ and now I can say ‘at Payless,’ which for me is really powerful because the Brash brand can help them achieve the bold style they are after because of its affordability and accessibility. My favorites in the fall line are the Ollie combat boots and the Josie peep-toe wedges — they are sick styles and I wear them a lot and with many different outfits. The beauty items like the eye shadow roller-ball and the lip stain are also amazing.”

In the promotional photo above, Sierra holds a pair of Ollie Plaid Cuff Boots with a rose earring and a feather earring used as boot charms. On her wrist is one of the 3-pack of animal scruchies.

DEV's "In The Dark" music video

Gasoline Glamour is known for their ourtrageous designs – combining sparkles, studs, and found objects into pieces that blur the line between fashion and art. DEV wears two pieces from the line in her new music video for “In The Dark.” Gasoline Glamour’s bold style is a good fit for the video, in which DEV wears simple clothes with outlandish makeup and accessories. Her Crystal Gunmetal Cuff is adorned with metal spikes in all shapes and sizes. Her Halston Black Mini Drip Necklace combines a black metal bib with draped chains and giant crystals.

The Pretty Reckless live at Sala Caracol in Madrid, Spain on July 7, 2011 by Christina Merlos Torrente

Taylor Momsen traded in her usual thigh-highs for a floral lace bodystocking at The Pretty Reckless’ concert in Madrid on July 7th. Taylor loves lingerie, lots of black, and not much clothes; so while I’ve never seen her wear a one-piece before, this outfit is pretty par for the course. She wears Leg Avenue’s Romantic Lace Criss-Cross Bodystocking ($8.95) over a studded bra and boyshorts.

more stores:
I Love Sexy – $9.67, Lingerie Diva – $10.29, 5000 Styles – $10.53, Seduction Extreme – $10.89, How Cool – $11.06, My Divas Closet – $12.00

Demi Lovato and friends at Warped Tour in Ventura, CA on July 3, 2011 - photos from Hanna Beth Merjos

Although I do think that Demi Lovato’s American flag wedges are a fun look, wearing heels to Warped Tour is a definite don’t. I’m sure Demi wasn’t standing out in the crowds all day, but the rest of us will be on our feet for 8-10 hours, and you won’t look cute when you’re hobbling around after hour 2. Expensive purses and jewelry are also a bad idea. If you would be sad if something got lost of destroyed, then you shouldn’t wear it to Warped Tour.

Demi is wearing a tank top which portrays Mickey Mouse as Hitler – a very odd choice for the Disney star. I don’t know if she’s trying to say something about Disney passive-agressively through her clothes, or if she just didn’t think this one through enough.

Demi’s friends are all wearing Jeffrey Campbell shoes. From left: Lita in Pewter Glitter, Lita in Stars and Stripes, Lana in Black
