One of my fashion writers had the chance to peek into the stores and accessories that have takenKaty Perry from trendy to trendsetter. Here is Elyn’s review:
—
By now most people have heard of Katy Perry, the super-hot singer/songwriter/musician currently co-headlining the Warped Tour, who’s single hit I Kissed a Girl is #1 on iTunes and the Billboard Hot 100 and whose fantastically fun new album One of the Boys is this summers break out hit … oh, and lets not forget the amazing shout-out she got from Madonna live on the radio!
But what most people don’t know about Katy is how cool her style is! With her Lolita meets Joan Jett stylish mix of vintage & sunburst colors she’s setting new trends daily & I wanted to let INO readers in on her secrets, so I found her favorite spots to shop:
First up is Pop Killer, where all the cute Japanese girls & true Harijuku lovers shop in LA.It’s filled with cool vintage pieces, interesting accessories — their ‘brick’ old-school cell phone bag is an absolute must-have! — &, best of all it’s open until midnight!
Next on her go-to list is Shareens Vintage which has racks of amazing one-of-a -kind vintage and re-worked dresses … & to keep shoppers focused, there are no men allowed!If you’re in LA you MUST check it out … and, unlike most vintage stores, you CAN purchase online via their brand new eBay store (go their website which links you directly)!!!
And her final insider tip is Coquette. As Katy told MySpace,
"This is where I come when I need something that’s going to blow everyone away… It’s where all the stars go to get styled."
And she’s right!Everyone from the Olsen’s to P. Diddy have been seen in their vintage couture outfits. And while they don’t have an online shop per-se, if you see something you like on the web-site or have a certain outfit in mind, use the contact form & they will do their best to track it down & send it to you.
And if you’d like to sample Katy’s look without spending too much, just follow her 5 fashion must-haves & you can snag her style at a store near you:
- Anything with fruit
- Neon, neon, neon
- Onesies
- Big bows
- Strapless dresses
To check out her music, go to Katy Perry and for her blogs, interviews, videos & tour dates check out Katy’s MySpace.

I think Katy rocks
katy i love her expecally teenage dream even more california gurlz i am 11 and iv’e listened to your songs since i was 8
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest factor to consider of. I say to you, I certainly get irked whilst people think about worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as well as outlined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thank you
She looks so much like Zooey Deschanel!
I was just going to say the same thing! Especially the pic with the umbrella!
I completely agree. When I was looking at the pictures I thought they had been mislabeled!
I don’t get it. Everyone who copies a style from like 50 years ago (copying every tiny details) is “so stylish” and “such an icon.” Why? Then every woman from the 19whatevers was a huge icon. That may look great in a photoshoot but I don’t see anyone wearing clothes like that in real life.
I know what you mean! But Katy Perry actually does dress like this everyday! She’s been dressing her own eccentric way everyday of Van’s Warped Tour. And she sticks out so much everyday at that place. It’s ridiculous but so cute everyday!
well you are one to talk. Who did your hair?
well its cause she doesnt care what people think and she weres whatever she likes and thats wht makes her, her!
i thought it was zooey too! yeah, retro style is to costumely it only really works on entertainers. everyone else (& well certain celebrities) looks like they’re trying to hard.
BTW- this girl annoys me. i only heard about/saw her AFTER i heard THAT song which is maddening. every 10 years or so someone (A GIRL) comes out with a song about hitting with a girl. some songs/songwriters are better than others. all i can say is if i where a full blown lesbian (read between the lines) i would be really bothered by this.
sorry katy but get your own style already!!!!
I think I just totally reject this chick because P.H. takes total credit for shoving her down our throats and making her popular. I find that anyone he promotes, I tend to stay far away from. Maybe that’s why I can’t stand Amy Winehouse? I don’t know what it is..he just rubs me the wrong way. And I like the first I Kissed A Girl song better.
I absolutely adore Katy Perry, her music , her style , just everyrthing about her shes got a great sense of humor aswell
and everyone should listen to her song ‘Lost’ it’s fantastic. Beautiful.
shes also dating Travie McCoy – they make such a cute couple
I personally like this style of clothing. I think it compliments a women’s figure better by giving a more defined waist line than low rise jeans now. I’ve slowly been trying to ween myself off of the low rise jeans and finding nice summer skirts that are a bit more figure flattering.
I really like “I Kissed A Girl”. It has such a great, toe tapping beat. The lyrics are fun, too. Her “Ur So Gay” song is pretty funny. She’s having fun with her music and it’s something that’s lacking in today’s music industry. I hope she continues on with her success and wish her the best of luck.
I wish I could pull wearing those clothes off…..but I never could.
I absolutley adore her style though! Especially that wedding dress in the Hot N Cold video
