DEV sheer blouse, yellow leather shorts, platform oxfords

DEV at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival in Austin, TX on March 15, 2012

Taking center stage for DEV’s performance at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival are her golden yellow Leather Shorts by Emma Cook ($530.00). Her black and white platform oxford Jeffrey Campbell “Warning” shoes ($160.00) have a creeper-style woven toe detail and etched silver buckles. You can get a sheer blouse like DEV’s with the Chiffon Oversized Button-Up from American Apparel ($58.00). I think her exact necklace is the Hammered Collar Necklace from Nasty Gal ($20.00, sold out), but you can get similar necklaces from Nordstrom or Nasty Gal.

At her recent concert in Chile, Demi Lovato wore the Pucca Backless Tux Jacket ($655.00) from Unconditional with some jewels added to the lapel. Getting Demi’s rock star look doesn’t require such an expensive piece – you can pick up a cheap pink blazer from Forever 21 here, here, or here, and add some studs yourself. Wear it with pleather pants like the Tripp NYC Deville ($62.00) and a t-shirt from your favorite rock band – Demi’s is a Poison tee.

Demi is wearing her Lita Spike Ankle Boots by Jeffrey Campbell, which retail for around $195.00 at Urban Outfitters, SoleStruck, Lori’s Shoes, or Jildor. Though cheaper than her jacket these shoes are still a bit pricey, but luckily there are some alternatives available. If you like the spiked heel you can get a similar look a a wedge for $78.00 or $92.99; or $53.40 if you don’t mind having a different color. If you like the shape of the Lita boots there are a number of alternatives on the market in the $20-$50 range: here, here, here, here, here, here, and many more.

Kreayshawn Hello Kitty Dr Martens

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).

Cher Lloyd Want U Back outfit

Cher Lloyd's outfit in her "Want U Back" music video


The lace and acid wash denim jacket that Cher Lloyd wears in her new “Want U Back” music video is a vintage piece from Stefano International, available for £65.00 from Girl Gang. Underneath the jacket is a Heart Crop Tee from Topshop which she also wears in the bathtub scenes. This tee is unfortunately sold out, but you can buy a similar crop top with a black heart for £9.99 at H&M. Her vertical striped mini skirt looks like it might be the Beetlejuice Skirt from Black Milk (£40.83), though I can’t tell for sure. You can also get a similar skirt for only £12.99 at H&M.

Cher matches the black and white striped skirt with the striped AMPH Wedge Boots from Shiekh Shoes ($49.97). You can see her Cartoon Eyes Pair of Rings from Tatty Devine (£30.00) during the movie theater scene. Her red acrylic doorknocker earrings are the Amanda Earrings from Girl Gang (£15.00).

Avril Lavigne is wearing the Betsey Johnson “Llola” Boots. This feminine twist on the combat boot has ruffles along the heel and a hot pink lining. These are now a clearance item in most places so you might have to shop around to find your size, but the prices are around $70-$80. Some of the many stores carrying these shoes are Zappos, 6pm, Endless, and Amazon.

Her stars and stripes print leggings are from an upcoming Abbey Dawn line. Avril is still pitching to stores and at this point is still not known when or where the new collection will be released.

Get her look with the Black & White Star Leggings from Buy.com and a black jacket like the Jag Jeans Beckton Twill Jacket ($39.99) worn over a heathered gray hoodie like American Apparel’s Unisex Salt and Pepper Zip Hoody ($48.00). Finish it off with the Elliott Lucca Capella Bow Hobo ($118.00), similar to Avril’s bow purse.

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.
