DEV's "In The Dark" music video

Gasoline Glamour is known for their ourtrageous designs – combining sparkles, studs, and found objects into pieces that blur the line between fashion and art. DEV wears two pieces from the line in her new music video for “In The Dark.” Gasoline Glamour’s bold style is a good fit for the video, in which DEV wears simple clothes with outlandish makeup and accessories. Her Crystal Gunmetal Cuff is adorned with metal spikes in all shapes and sizes. Her Halston Black Mini Drip Necklace combines a black metal bib with draped chains and giant crystals.

Gasoline Glamour – $284.00

The Pretty Reckless live at Sala Caracol in Madrid, Spain on July 7, 2011 by Christina Merlos Torrente

Leg Avenue

Taylor Momsen traded in her usual thigh-highs for a floral lace bodystocking at The Pretty Reckless’ concert in Madrid on July 7th. Taylor loves lingerie, lots of black, and not much clothes; so while I’ve never seen her wear a one-piece before, this outfit is pretty par for the course. She wears Leg Avenue’s Romantic Lace Criss-Cross Bodystocking ($8.95) over a studded bra and boyshorts.

Demi Lovato and friends at Warped Tour in Ventura, CA on July 3, 2011 - photos from Hanna Beth Merjos

Although I do think that Demi Lovato’s American flag wedges are a fun look, wearing heels to Warped Tour is a definite don’t. I’m sure Demi wasn’t standing out in the crowds all day, but the rest of us will be on our feet for 8-10 hours, and you won’t look cute when you’re hobbling around after hour 2. Expensive purses and jewelry are also a bad idea. If you would be sad if something got lost of destroyed, then you shouldn’t wear it to Warped Tour.

Demi is wearing a tank top which portrays Mickey Mouse as Hitler – a very odd choice for the Disney star. I don’t know if she’s trying to say something about Disney passive-agressively through her clothes, or if she just didn’t think this one through enough.

Since Paramore are playing a string of festivals right now, it seems like a great time to post Hayley Williams’ summer festival fashion and beauty essentials, which she shared with Stylelist.

Jane Iredale Tinted Moisturizer & SPF 15 in Ivory ($36.00). “I wear this stuff year round. It evens out my skin tone, moisturizes, and it smells like roses.”

Likewise Facial Moisturizer and SPF ($34.99). “Just recently picked this stuff up and I love it so far! It’s got zinc and soy in it and it’s super mattifying… Which is great cause I’ll be sweaty. Very sweaty.”

American Apparel Baby Rib Crop T ($20.00). “So excited about these! I only bought them in white so I can customize easily with a black sharpie. I don’t typically show much skin… Even in the summer… But now I can wear these and pretend to be Jennifer Love Hewitt from “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”

“Bleached/re-dyed/customized denim like my Lazy Bones custom overall shorts by Audrey Kitching. Best part about this is you can do it yourself! Go get some old denim shorts, bleach em, dye em however you’d like and even add studs. D.I.Y. life!”

Maybelline’s Blackest Black Waterproof Mascara ($4.24). “You know, the pink tube with the green top. I wear it in my eyebrows cause I like having those black Madonna brows! But if you wanna be traditional and wear it on your lashes, there’s nothing better. Sometimes you just can’t beat the classics.”

(note: it does not seem that the waterproof formula is available in Blackest Black. If you want waterproof, you can go for for the Very Black color)

While out and about in London promoting her new album When the Sun Goes Down and movie ‘Monte Carlo’, Selena Gomez was spotted sporting a casual yet chic outfit. Here she is wearing the fringed AllSaints ‘Capri Cropped Top’ ($110) with earthy leaf earrings, totally complimenting her Alternative Apparel ‘The Maxi Skirt’ in black, which you can pick up for only $58. She carried an MCM Heritage Medium Bowler Satchel ($1,100.00).

Paramore at Optimus Alive 2011 Music Festival – PR Photos

At the Putte I Parken festival today in Sweden [note: photo replaced with one from a different show], Hayley Williams wore a pair of Split Leg Skinny Jeans from Tripp NYC which have each leg a different color. You can buy them for $54.00 at Karmaloop or $56.00 at Trash and Vaudeville. This pair has previously been sold at Hot Topic where they were only around $40.00 but they are currently out of stock (they do have a black and leopard pair). She’s wearing the same homemade B.O.Y. t-shirt that she debuted at Leeds Festival last August.

Juliet Simms on July 4, 2011 - photo from her Twitter

I hope you all enjoyed your Fourth of July weekend!  Juliet Simms showed of her American pride on the 4th in an oversized Rolling Stones t-shirt and a pair of American flag leggings. When asked where she got them, she responded: “Ebay baby..just type in American Flag pants :)” If you search American Flag pants on eBay,  you’ll also wind up with some baggy sweat pants a la Rex Kwon Do from Napoleon Dynamite, but Juliet is wearing this pair of leggings for $38.99.

Juliet may also go red white and blue with her hair.  She just re-dyed the tips of her hair blue and then tweeted: “Can someone bring red hair dye tomorrow? I have blue now and wanna USA my hawirz up..presents and gifties to whoever does.”

eBay – $38.99

me and Ash Costello at Warped Tour in San Antonio, TX on June 26, 2011

Last weekend I interviewed New Years Day lead singer Ash Costello at Warped Tour. She spills about her recent tattoos and plans for her next, why she see band’s outfits as an important part of the show, and ripping all her favorite tights.

New Years Day are playing Warped Tour through July 10th and are following it up with their own West Coast tour. It’s been a while since the band’s 2007 debut LP My Dear, but it’s safe to say that New Years Day are back. They just put out their new EP The Mechanical Heart on Hollywood Waste Records and released a music video for the lead single “Two in the Chest, One in the Head.”

Choice Quotes:

“I take clothes really seriously because that’s the way I express myself.”

“I sold my iPod before Warped Tour to buy new shoes.”

“Sometimes I worry that [my clothes] say ‘don’t talk to me.'”

“I’ll straight-up wear the most uncomfortable outfit if it’s in the name of self-expression and fashion.”

“What I love about Warped Tour fashion-wise is that people come here and they express themselves fully.”
