On Rihanna’s recent Hawaii vacation she wore two different bikinis with fringed tops. Above is simpler of the two: basic black with a fringed bandeau top that ties in the back. This bikini is from L*Space by Monica Wise and Rihanna is wearing the Dolly Fringe Bandeau Top ($68.00) with the Foxy Tab Bottom ($69.00). Fringe bikinis have an earthy look, but this one is made of earth-friendly materials as well — it’s from L*Space’s Glamorously Green Collection and it’s made of natural fibers using eco-friendly processes.

Two days later, Rihanna was spotted in a triangle bikini with a blue tribal print and fringe along the top. She wears the Montauk Top ($92.00) with Seminyak Bottoms ($96.00) in Blue Cantik print.

Avril Lavigne presented her Abbey Dawn clothing line at the Bread & Butter trade show in Berlin last summer wearing this outfit from the spring 2012 collection.

She accessorized with the studded thong All Things Nice Flat Sandal ($30.00) and Starstruck Sunglasses ($25.00).

Cher Lloyd stepped out in the Moto Roulette High Waist Jamie Jeans from Topshop (£45.00/$90.00). These pants have a very bold black and white swirl and checkerboard pattern but also have tiny hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades and dice to fit the roulette theme. With pants as crazy as these it’s important to keep the rest of the outfit neutral, so Cher is wearing all black. I can’t tell if either of these pieces are exact but Topshop also sells a leather jacket and straw hat similar to what she’s wearing. Try the Black Leather Biker Jacket by Boutique (£165.00/$310.00) and the Straw Pork Pie Hat (£22.00/$45.00). Cher’s Jeffrey Campbell Roxie Boots in Distressed Black ($199.95) have a really unique and fun semicircle cutout in the wedge.

A few weeks ago I wrote about why I love Hayley Williams’ style, and for this article I’ve chosen to write about another one of my fashion inspirations: DEV. That might come as a bit of a surprise given that I’m a huge pop-punk fan, but I think that my clothing style falls somewhere between casual punk and girly frills. I love the contrast of wearing a super frilly top with acid washed jeans and combat boots.

What I love most about DEV’s style is that she always looks so put-together. Her style is very glamourous, but still retains a lot of sass. As I’ve grown older I’ve made a conscious effort to try to mature my style. DEV’s fashion sense is a really great example of how to be sophisticated without being boring, which can sometimes seem like an impossible feat. She’s known for wearing crazy sunglasses in most of her music videos, and she always has the coolest jewelry. As far as clothes, I love all of the button-up shirts that she’s been wearing recently. She even wore a pussy bow blouse, which is one of my favorite clothing items.

One particular look that I love of DEV’s is when she wears sleeveless blouses with high-waisted shorts. I chose to emulate this look with item from my own closet. DEV usually wears American Apparel disco shorts, but I’m wearing my favorite sailor shorts from Forever 21. My blouse is also from Forever 21 and is available here. DEV loves breezy sheer sleeveless tops so this looks like one that she would wear. My look is very simple and I’m sure DEV would find a way glam it up with some cool jewelry. That’s why I leave style to the pros!

We think its tremendous popularity is proof that the 2012 Corolla offers the ideal blend of comfort, value and safety. In it, you’ll find a surprising number of high-end features, like available Display Audio system. It offers remarkable performance and fuel efficiency, plus an impressive list of standard safety features. Factor in its legendary reliability, and it’s even more apparent that Corolla is the smart choice.

Lana Del Rey’s white mesh crop top is an off-brand item which is sold in a number of boutiques including Go Jane ($20.20), Tobi ($30.00) and Nasty Gal ($38.00). She’s paired it with a long navy blue polka dot skirt. You can get a very similar look with the Forever 21 Polka Dot Maxi Skirt ($22.80).

Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells performed on SNL in a customized version of the Cruiser Tie Dyed V-Neck from Obesity & Speed ($62.00). We see a lot of tees with the sleeves cut off, but this one is more destroyed than most with little holes all over and a massive rip on the stomach. Despite her deconstructed clothes, she still manages to look put-together. I think it’s a combination of the tucked-in shirt and the super sleek hair–I would love to know her secret!
