This year seems to be the year of the stud. It’s like the whole world decided to get its Rebel Yell on and rock studs on everything from once-innocent flats, to jackets, to headbands, to bags—from high-street to your street. I offer you Exhibit A, the Garbo Studded Tote by Be & D. Mmm-hmmm. Nice, eh? Although the black version sold out, you can borrow it in black at AVELLE.

If you’re like me, and you can’t bear the thought of renting a bag, becoming attached, then having to send it back, I offer you Exhibit B, the Handbag Heaven Morgan Studded Rock Tote. All those shiny studs against a brown backdrop are sure to kick up even the tamest outfit. And the price! You don’t have to be Taylor to afford this one.

While I love clothes and lust over shoes to a fault, I’ve never been much of a handbag girl. I think probably because you eventually put the bag down and it no longer becomes part of your outfit. Or something. Every once in a while, though, a handbag comes along that really makes a statement and I find myself powerless under its control. Said bag generally falls into either the overly romantic group or the “rocker” category. Be & D‘s Kan Kan Portfolio Shoulder bag would obviously fall into the former category, although I would argue that there’s something not entirely sweet about it. I mean other than the price of course. I love that the strap mixes chain and fabric and I can’t say no to the girly ruffles. Wait, no, yes I can. $595 says that I put the bag down and back away slowly.

Forever 21 Leatherette Ruffle Purse
Well luckily for me (and you!) I no longer have to curb my urges. A friend recently pointed out this lovely little “Leatherette Ruffle Purse” on Forever 21 and while it is not a dead ringer for the Be & D handbag, it’s quite clear where F21 got their inspiration from. The blush tones, the ruffles, the studs… they all add up to a great purse, never mind a great knockoff. And folks, it retails for $22.80. For a bag. A cute one. You can thank me later.
