Kreayshawn uses bold red accessories to add pops of color to a black and white outfit. Pinned to her chest is a wooden Magnetic Pin Bowtie by Good Wood ($39.99). Her Teeth x Blood Earrings are made by M.Y.O.B. ($35.00).

Kreayshawn loves high-waisted bottoms. Though you’ll find her more frequently in ripped denim shorts, here she is wearing a floral-printed mini skirt from Divided by H&M with a zippered front (sold out). Her loose-fitted Swan Black Tank by Brian Lichternberg ($85.00) is tucked into the skirt. The tank top has an image of a swan with paint-like drips.

Hayley Williams Beware Of You tank top

Hayley Williams BOY tank top

Paramore and Fueled By Ramen have started selling their own version of the teal B.O.Y. tank top which Hayley wore during Paramore’s South American tour this February. They’ve done a good job of replicating all of the details of Hayley’s homemade top including the line of stitching across the front and the high-cut back.

If you aren’t familiar with “Beware Of You,” abbreviated “B.O.Y.,” it is a phrase that Hayley came up with to mean that you are your own worst enemy and that you are in control of your own success or failure (read more about the meaning here). “Beware Of You” is written three times on the back of the tank while “B.O.Y.” is written in large letters on the front. The back of the tank also features three black bars — a symbol of Paramore’s current three-member incarnation.

You can buy this tank for $25.00 in Paramore’s merch store or you can try your hands at making your own version which scissors and a Sharpie. Hayley made hers from an American Apparel Tri-Blend Racerback Tank.

Feather earrings and TOMS shoes are trends that have appeared a lot on this blog, but usually from girls with a more earthy, hippie style. With this look Melissa Marie Green shows that you can find a way to make trends work for you and incorporate them into your own personal style. She loves oversized accessories – as evidenced from her hair bows – so the dreamcatcher earrings work because they are huge. She wears a lot of sequin vests and other sparkly things, so the Pink Glitter TOMS ($54.00) suit her style well. She’s also wearing the Ice Scream Tank ($15.00) from Tokyo Hardcore with cropped leggings and carrying Louis Vuitton’s Delightful Monogram MM bag ($1,010).

Ash Costello

screencap from New Years Day's summer update video

It’s no secret that Ash Costello loves vampires – and zombies, and fake blood – but this simple graphic of a smiley face with crossed out eyes and vampire fangs is surprisingly cutesy compared to her usual gore. It’s from H&M, though she’s had it for a few months so it might not be available in stores anymore. It is not listed on the US site at all, and it’s pictured on the UK site but not available in that design.

PS. The tattoo on her neck is a fake tattoo of New Years Day’s mechanical heart logo, but the sleeve is all real. You can check out the Ash Costello tattoo page to see all of her tattoos.

Kreayshawn: Sequin Mickey VMA Dress and Top

I’m just now identifying the sequined Disney dress that Kreayshawn wore at the VMAs at the end of August, but it my defense it was a hard ID. Kreayshawn was interviewing other celebrities on the red carpet, but when asked about her own dress, she said she forgot the designer! My hunch was that is was Jean Charles de Castelbajac, a favorite of Katy Perry’s who is known for incorporating cartoon characters in his designs, but it turns out that the actual designer is much more underground. She wore the matching bustier top in her new photoshoot with Complex magazine, where they’ve properly credited the piece to Australian line Di$count Tra$h. Kreayshawn wears their “Mickey and Minnie Mouse Pop Dream” bustier and dress, which are both sold out, but you can check out their shop for more sequiny goodness.
