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.

Dev's dress from her "Dancing Shoes" music video

I recognized the dress that DEV wears in her new “Dancing Shoes” music video because Selena Gomez wore it a while back. It was sold at ASOS as the Asymmetric Corset Maxi Dress and at ModCloth as the Poetic Penumbra Dress, but it’s sold out both places now. This dress combines the glamour of a long dress with the playfulness of a mini dress. the result is a look that’s both elegant and fun.

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.

Tay Jardine’s Empyre Girl Resolve Denim Jacket ($64.95) combines a gray hoodie and a denim jacket into one. The hoodie portion has a full zipper beneath the buttons of the jacket and the hood can be worn up like Tay has it.

You can get similar pairs of leopard skinny jeans from Tripp NYC:

1. Trash and Vaudeville – $68.00
2. Trash and Vaudeville – $60.00
3. Urban Outfitters – $69.00

Cassadee Pope wears a t-shirt from Buzznet

Cassadee Pope’s lightning bolt tee was given to her by social networking site Buzznet. These tees do not seem to be available for purchase. Her sneakers seem to be Converse All-Star Black Monochrome Hi-Tops ($45.00), though I can’t tell for sure. I looked in Cassadee’s favorite store Forever 21 for a similar jacket, shorts, and tights and found the Knit Moto Jacket ($32.80), Resin Whisker Denim Short ($17.80) and Knit Herringbone Tights ($10.80).

Hayley Williams is wearing the Plaid Cotton Lycra Skirt ($69.00) from Betsey Johnson’s lower-priced Pink Patch line. It’s also available from Elly’s Couture where it is currently 50% off.

For more plaid skirts in the $30 to $50 range, check out the huge selection of Tripp NYC skirts at Trash and Vaudeville.

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.”

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.
