Boots Post

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.

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.

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).

Ash Costello is wearing a pair of black platform Demonia boots. I am not certain which style she is wearing, but it looks like the Demonia Swing 815.

Amy Lee is wearing the Wolford Cheryl Tights. These are quite pricy at $65.00 (marked down to $34.54 at ASOS, but only in large), but you can get similar houndstooth tights for $10.00 from Foot Traffic or $16.00 from Topshop. Ami Clubwear sells a similar pair of Black Glitter Ankle Length Wedge Booties for only $21.99.

Lights is wearing the Zorrba Lace Up Boot from Madden Girl by Steve Madden. You can buy them on eBay for $55 with free shipping, which is recommended since Zappos charges $69.95. I have the same pair and I bought them for around the same price as eBay at Century 21, so you may want to check that out if you have one around your area. These boots can also be worn folded down, and they have a plaid interior. The black boots are blue on the inside, and the brown ones are red. I would recommend them, they are very comfortable.

Madden Girl – $55.00 and up

Demi’s style recently has been all about Jeffrey Campbell shoes and glitter – or “#glitterswag,” as she likes to tweet. She pays homage to glam rock pioneer David Bowie with her tunic and glams up her own look with sequined leggings and a chunky conical spike bracelet. Her shoes are the Jeffrey Campbell Lita Spike, but she owns the glitter version as well. She tops off the outfit with a shaggy gray fur vest.
