Avril Lavigne moccasin outfit

Avril Lavigne shopping in Los Angeles on March 16, 2011

Having own fashion line sure has its perks – one of those being that you get to wear your own clothes long before anyone else. For months Avril Lavigne has been wearing shoes from her yet-to-be-released Abbey Dawn shoe collection, but now some of the items that she wore earlier in 2011 are finally available. Pictured here is the What the Hell Hoodie ($18.98) and the Sailors Beware Rock Tee ($27.50) which has a cute heart anchor graphic. This tee is one of many nautical-themed items in the most recent Abbey Dawn collection. Her beaded black moccasins are the Minnetonka Thunderbird Softsole ($39.00). Her jeans have a really gorgeous wash, but I can’t find them or anything quite like it. The closest I found are Bleached Cargo Jeans from ASOS ($152.19).

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).

Hayley Williams in her studded Levis denim jacket

Hayley Williams got this custom denim jacket as a Christmas present from her boyfriend Chad Gilbert, who owns a studded “Pop Punk’s Not Dead” jacket himself. The jacket was made by Michael Torres of Wartime Collective using patches from some of Hayley’s favorite bands.

The jacket itself is a classic Levi’s Trucker Jacket which you can buy at Urban Outfitters for $78.00. Visit studsandspikes.com for a huge selection of diy studs and tools. Hayley’s rounded conical studs are Punk English 77 Studs.

The three black bars on the back you should recognize as a symbol of Paramore’s current three-member incarnation. Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor all have matching tattoos of a rectangle with three bars, the symbol used on their Singles album cover.

On the front left (Hayley’s right) is a logo for Kid Dynamite, who Hayley’s other denim jacket also paid homage to, and on the right is Slick Shoes.  On the back is a patch from mewithoutYou with lyrics to their song “Leaf”: “However much I strut around, However loud I sing, The shining One inside me won’t say anything.”  There is an image of Black Flag singer Henry Rollins drawn by cartoonist Mitch Clem with “WWHRD?” (What Would Henry Rollins Do?). On the bottom left is the pink dove logo from the band Further Seems Forever.

If you’re going to customize your own jacket, you should of course use patches from bands you like. But since this is a blog about finding Hayley’s clothes, I tracked down all of her patches. You can get the Kid Dynamite Cat Logo patch for $1.50, Slick Shoes bear patch for $1.50, Henry Rollins patch for $1.00 or $1.75, and Further Seems Forever patch for $1.50. All of these patches are available at Interpunk, where you can find patches from loads of bands at good prices. The mewithoutYou patch is cut from their elephant t-shirt (£15.99). I believe the Paramore bars were custom made. You can cut rectangles out of black fabric or Singles Cub members can buy a Bars T-Shirt for $15.00.

Brandi Cyrus, sister of Miley Cyrus and guitarist/singer of Frank and Derol, is a big fan of Wildfox Couture. She has worn three different Wildfox tops with the same skeleton ribcage motif. On December 30th she wore the Skeleton Over-Sized Hoodie in Diamond ($139.00) while out with her family in Studio City in Los Angeles, CA. This hoodie has a ribcage graphic on the chest as well as bones on the arms. She has also worn the sequin-encrusted Wildfox Sparkley Skeleton Surf Raglan Tee in both Clean White and Clean Black ($170.00).

Avril Lavigne: Betsey Johnson Coat, Fingerless Gloves

Avril stays warm in the Angel Down Fur Collar Coat ($398.00) from Betsey Johnson. Avril is no stranger to wearing her own merchandise – she’s worn some of her tour tees on stage during her Black Star World Tour – and here she is wearing her own Skull Fingerless Gloves ($12.95). She finishes off the look with black leggings, playful socks, and glittery leopard-lined combat boots which I assume are from her upcoming Abbey Dawn shoe collection.
