Ash Costello's photoshoot for Lip Service

The latest episode of Ash Costello “Rockonista” web series takes us shopping with her at Lip Service’s Los Angeles warehouse. Lip Service has lines catered to many different alternative subcultures including lolita, cyber, and industrial clothing; but most of Ash’s picks come from the “Black Steam” collection of Victorian steampunk-inspired clothes.

Ash explains this outfit:

It’s very steampunk-inspired. Steampunk has been around for a while kind of in the underground, and I feel like right now it’s just starting to make it into the mainstream. Lip Service has really found a creative way to take steampunk in everyday wear — something you could wear to school, or to clubs, concerts, DisneyLand like I would. And I love it. I love that [the skirt] has the key detail, it’s very steampunk, and the brown distressed leather. This is something that I would wear all the time. And to top it all off I have my Sideshow by the Sea necklace. I love bats and anything gothy and dark like that is just awesome to me. So it pulls the whole thing together.

What she’s wearing:
All of Ash’s clothes are from Lip Service. She wears the BlackList Black Lace Top ($41.50) with the Step in Time Underbust Top ($98.00) over it. Her skirt is the Step in Time Lace Layered Skirt ($65.00) and the tights are the Ripped Net Pantyhose ($9.00). Her bat necklace is the La Mia Bella Morte Necklace from Sideshow by the Sea ($35.00).

Kreayshawn is currently in Japan for the Springroove festival and it seems like she’s been trying out some of the local fashions. There have been a few photos of Kreayshawn at shops in Japan, and it’s no surprise that her loud and colorful style fits in on the streets of Japan. She was gifted a few pairs of tights from Japanese artist Choco Moo. Backstage at the festival she wore this “LUV&HATE” pair which have drawings of hearts and lightbulbs.

Our favorite creep Ash Costello just got some swag from the aptly-named brand Kreepsville 666. Their clothes and accessories feature all sorts of creepy anatomy like eyeballs, bones, brains, and hearts. Ash is wearing the Red Skeleton Tunic Dress, a fitted t-shirt dress with a red skeleton drawing. It’s available for $38.00 at Kreepsville (£30.00 in the UK), $40.00 at Dolls Kill, $50.00 at Sourpuss, and £29.99 at Rocky Horrors. Her Pretty Polly Suspender Tights are $25.00 at Dillards and other stores.

Cassadee Pope for Hot Topic

Cassadee Pope is part of Hot Topic’s latest “Rock Our Shorts” promotion, appearing in a video and in photos on the site. Oddly enough I don’t see shorts like hers on the site — it might be the LOVEsick Blue Acid Wash Distressed Cut-Off Short Shorts ($24.50) with the cuffs rolled down. I did however find her tights, which are the Black Leopard Fishnet Tights ($10.00).

Christina Perri photoshoot for Select Model Management

Christina Perri recently signed with Select Model Management and did a photoshoot wearing much more “high-fashion” looks that what we’re used to seeing her in. While I can only assume those most of the looks are very expensive (I recognized a Burberry jacket), at least the hosiery is somewhat reasonable. Christina’s pantyhose are the Super Star Gold Tights by House Of Holland. This gold version is sold out, but you can still buy the same tights in black for $27.99 or a cheaper pair from ASOS for $14.32. For the dreamers, you can check out a picture of the studded Burberry coat below.

Miley Cyrus’ look is very on-trend with two things we’ve being seeing a lot of lately: illusion tights and destroyed shorts. She wears the Chain Suspender Tights by House of Holland for Pretty Polly ($24.42) with Urban Renewal Destroyed Studded Shorts from Urban Outfitters ($79.00).

Her tee has a drawing of a smoking baby from the cover of Van Halen’s album 1984. You can get a similar Van Halen t-shirt for $17.99. Complete the look with an olive green military jacket like this Drawstring Cargo Jacket from Forever 21 ($29.80) and riding boots like the Jessica Simpson Pepper ($44.75).

Katy Perry performs on the DirecTV Super Bowl Event on February 4, 2012

Katy Perry performed yesterday at the DirecTV Super Bowl Event in a blue and red football-themed outfit. She wore Ash’s “Thelma” Buckle Wedge Sneakers which have a red and blue trim along the sole. These shoes are available for $160.00 at Bloomingdales, Jildor, ShopBop, Victoria’s Secret, or ASOS. Her jersey top is split into red and blue halves, and she wore mismatched Stripe Knee-High Socks from American Apparel ($10.00) with red and blue athletic stripes.

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).

from Sheri's instagram: I mean…when you finally get your cat dress in the mail that has fishes on it and you go out to EAT fishes and wear the cat dress that ALSO has fishes on it…it needs to be documented.
