Kreayshawn is wearing another crop top from Claw Money. This modern art inspired “Saved By The Cell” Crop Top is marked down to $12.95 at Karmaloop or $19.00 in Claw Money’s store. Kreayshawn also owns an ice cream crop top, tote bag, and more. She tells Billboard: “I love Claw Money. They always send me stuff. I always wear their sweatpants. I’ve been getting laced up.”

DEV Dancing Shoes jewelry

Dev loves statement jewelry, and in her “Dancing Shoes” music video she wears two bold and oversized rings. Her hinged knuckle ring is the Armor-Dillo Ring by Melody Ehsani, made up of overlapping segments that bend like an armadillo’s shell. The ring sells for $35 at Karmaloop and $45 on Ehsani’s website. Her chain ring comes from Holbrooke by S.Berry. I believe it is the Film Noir ring ($90.00), though all of Holbrooke’s rings have this same style. The chains dangle between the two and fingers and move freely, creating lots of sparkle.

Ellie Goulding performed a special show at New York City’s JFK Airport wearing Topshop’s Black Spray Printed Leggings (£20.00/$40.00) tucked into rugged combat boots. These leggings have bold splashes of pink, blue, and yellow and Ellie keeps the rest of her look simple with a losse-fitting black top. You can get a similar look with the Dr. Martens Warner Boots ($98.00) and Topshop’s Knitted Tape Pocket Tunic (£40.00/$80.00).

Cassadee Pope outfit

new photoshoot for Cassadee Pope's solo project

In case you haven’t heard, Cassadee Pope is going solo. Hey Monday are not done but they are taking a break and Cassadee will be going on her first solo tour starting tomorrow (tour dates on her Facebook page). She has released a cover of “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia and an acoustic video of an original song “Lunatic.” The above picture is the official photo for her solo project, so you may be seeing a lot more of it.

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’re probably aware that Cassadee loves Forever 21. Her fringed tee with cutouts around the waist is their Fringed Suedette Top ($17.80) and I believe her leggings and bracelet are from Forever 21 as well. There is not a bracelet in her color but two styles share the same shape: the Lacquered Wing Bracelet in pink or white ($6.80) and the Winged Cuff Bracelet in metal tones ($8.80). Their Sequin Shimmer Leggings ($24.80) look like what Cassadee is wearing, though I can’t tell if they are exact.

Dev Dancing Shoes dress

Dev's dress from her "Dancing Shoes" music video

I recognized the dress that DEV wears in her new “Dancing Shoes” music video because Selena Gomez wore it a while back. It was sold at ASOS as the Asymmetric Corset Maxi Dress and at ModCloth as the Poetic Penumbra Dress, but it’s sold out both places now. This dress combines the glamour of a long dress with the playfulness of a mini dress. the result is a look that’s both elegant and fun.

Ariel for Hire's pink boots, ripped jeans, skeleton tee, and belt

I’ve gotten a few requests to post Ariel For Hire, so here goes. Ariel has a really crazy and fun style, if that wasn’t obvious from her neon hair. She loves hot pink and other bright colors as well as black and white. She’s extremely creative with her style and makes a lot of her own clothes — she actually sells custom pieces through an Etsy store which has tutus for $25.00 and hooded scarves for $38.00.

A typical outfit for her is a reconstructed tee with a tutu or other short skirt worn over ripped jeans. She likes wearing wrist cuffs piled over fingerless gloves. Her footwear choices are combat boots and super-tall high top sneakers.

This look is one that she wore back in 2009, so even though I’ve tracked down some of her exact pieces, it’s unfortunately sold out now. You might recognize her boots as Dr. Martens. They are the 1B99 in Pink Patent Leather and if you’re not a size 11 you can try classic 1460 in hot pink or Ariel’s taller style in Ruby Jewel. You can get slashed up jeans like hers for $75.00 from Current/Elliott, but I recommend you save yourself some cash and cut up a pair of your own.

Her top is a custom piece which she made from sewing Iron Fist’s Wishbone T-shirt together with black, pink, and striped fabrics and cool trims. This exact tee is sold out, but it’s available in other color combos – including hot pink – on Amazon and eBay.

Her exact belt is the Volcom Chester Belt, which is sold out, but you can get another very similar belt from Volcom or other similar belts from LRG and Empyre. Also pictured above are fingerless gloves for $22.00 from Etsy and a pink and black striped top for $14.80 from Forever 21.
