Payless ShoeSource announced the launch of their new Brash line of shoes and accessories for teens, and they’ve partnered with VersaEmerge singer Sierra Kusterbeck to serve as the face of the brand. Many of the products are already available through Payless’ webstore and the first collection will hit physical stores on August 9th. Prices range from $6 for hair accessories to $50 for boots. The line will later include beauty products starting at $3.

Brash is meant for girls who have more of a unique and alternative sense of style. Explaining their choice of Sierra Kusterbeck as spokeswoman, Payless CEO LuAnn Via says “Sierra is a Brash Girl and she embodies the brand’s personality — she has a unique tough-yet-girlie style, is tremendously creative with her music and fashion and is a perfect picture of Brash style. We are thrilled to have found Sierra and believe she is a great fit to help us inspire girls to create their own Brash looks.”

Sierra has previously expressed her love of Jeffrey Campbell shoes which are much more expensive, but she appreciates the lower price point of the Brash line. “I love what Payless is doing in general to democratize fashion and this is the first cool, edgy line that’s affordable, which is great for teens. For them, affordable is the best word ever!,” Sierra says. “I often have girls approach me and ask ‘where did you get that?’ and now I can say ‘at Payless,’ which for me is really powerful because the Brash brand can help them achieve the bold style they are after because of its affordability and accessibility. My favorites in the fall line are the Ollie combat boots and the Josie peep-toe wedges — they are sick styles and I wear them a lot and with many different outfits. The beauty items like the eye shadow roller-ball and the lip stain are also amazing.”

At Warped Tour in Mississauga, Ontario yesterday, Hayley Williams wore this lime green gun-printed top from Betsey Johnson with her Tripp split-leg pants. It is the “Neon ‘Bang Bang’ Sublimation Tee,” which is unfortunately sold out. Guns are a common motif in Betsey Johnson’s collections – Hayley wore a blue guns dress back in 2010 and you can still buy a few dresses with this more recent multi-colored gun print on white (product links: 1, 2, 3).

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.

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

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.
