Cassadee Pope wears a t-shirt from Buzznet

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).

Cher Lloyd Want U Back album cover outfit

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 leopard pants, skeleton top, earrings, necklace

photo from Kreayshawn's instagram

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.”

Millionaires hair bows

some of the many styles of hair bows that the Millionaires are selling

Melissa Marie Green of Millionaires has long been known for her giant hair bows, and it seems like’s she’s created quite a demand amongst her fans. Melissa and Allison starting hand-making their own hair bows and selling them online, but they can’t seem to keep them in stock — the third batch was posted yesterday and sold out within 5 minutes!  I was hoping to be able to post about the bows at a time when there are still some available, but since that’s a lost cause I recommend that you follow Melissa or Allison on Twitter to find out when they’ll restock with the next round of bows.  Each batch has different colors and prints and they have already done everything from florals to money print to sequins to cats.

Porcelain Black: Strappy Bra, Latex Shorts

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.

Ash Costello's "Rockonista" web series for Hollywood Waste

New Years Day’s record label Hollywood Waste have started a web series called “Rockonista” where singer Ashley Costello takes you inside her world of goth style. In this episode, Ash goes to a thrift store and shows how – with a little creativity – you can make fun and unique clothes for cheap. “Don’t be afraid to go and rummage through, you can find some really amazing stuff,” she says. “Even though I had to go through a lot of Nos, it was worth it to find a few Yeses. You never know what cool stuff you’ll find at a thrift store.”

Using only scissors and safety pins, she transforms overalls into shorts and a simple floor-length dress into an amazing bustle dress. “I really love safety pins on the outside,” she explains. “There’s something really cool and punk and DIY about showing safety pins.” Part of the thrift store game is being able to see potential in items that you might not wear as-is. “When you go thrift shopping you have to have a vision, and see what you can do with what you find,” Ash says.

Ash explains that she also shops in the Halloween costume section. “They could end up being really cool, you never know. If you have the courage to wear them, I think it’s awesome.” Ash definitely has that courage — she wore a zombie bride costume and gory prosthetic wounds throughout New Years Day’s recent tour with Blood On The Dance Floor.

Natalia Kills fashion - dress, tights, hat, and boots outfit

Natalia Kills photoshoot by James Sutton (source)

Natalia Kills hardly wears any color, but instead this outfit has interesting patterns and textures. Her Women’s Pansy Velvet Mesh Bodycon Dress by Motel has vertically striped mesh on the sleeves and chest with an attention-grapping pluged neckline into the velvet body of the dress.  But best of all it’s marked down to £17.49 at Play.com – with free shipping too!  It’s also available for $70.80 at Lallure if your size is unavailable. She’s repeated the striped motif with a par of seamed tights.  It’s hard to find tights with the seam in the front, but you can always buy a pair of back-seam tights like this $14.00 pair from Topshop and wear them backwards.  Complete the look with a bowler hat (Urban Outfitters, $29.00) and lace-up ankle boots (Endless.com, $36.49).

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.

denim jacket patches studded denim jacket

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.
