The Look For Less: Miu Miu Lambskin Studded Mini-Bag

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:30:08 -0700

Do you remember me swooning over this Miu Miu Studded Mini-Bag, ($716) a while back? Well, I'm still drooling over it. I'm totally into the hip drawstring and studs, but there's no way I can afford the super-hefty price tag - tear. However, where there's a will, there's a way . . .

My frown instantly turned upside down when I laid eyes on this Deux Lux Piper Drawstring Bag, ($140). It's not super cheap, but it's made out of buttery soft leather, and I'm sure those studs took a long time to adhere. Now that I've found the ultimate concert bag, there's no need to cry - score!

Simply Fab: Professional Stud Setter

FabSugar — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 04:00:08 -0700

The Bedazzler was perfect for my recent Bedazzle bonanza, but I don't think it can handle all the heavy duty studding I want to do. That's where this Professional Stud Setter ($68) comes into play. It has a punching capacity of 1/8 inch total thickness, and is ideal for affixing studs and grommets onto bags, shoes, or jackets. It's all about DIY these days. Hey, maybe now I can finally cover my plain oxford shoes with silver studs.

The Look For Less: Stephen Webster Superstud Silver Cuff

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Stephen Webster makes some dope stuff. This Superstud Silver Cuff ($1,595) is one of his way-cool creations, but why is it so expensive? I would feel horrible paying that much for a bracelet that I can't even wear every day. So I set out to find something with the same dramatic feel minus the dramatic price . . .

This Forever 21 Faceted Cuff ($5) doesn't have three-dimensional pyramid studs like the Stephen Webster version, but it has the same punk-rock aura. It also doesn't have the ridiculous price tag; this is chump change in comparison. It's nice and shiny and would lend sass to any look. Sorry Stephen, your version is to die for, but I have to decline.

Trend Alert: Mixed Metals

FabSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:00:22 -0700

If you heart studs, you'll find mixed metals even more irresistible. These haphazardly placed nuggets take on a less-severe tone and make for a perfect statement piece. Case in point: this Miu Miu Studded Leather Pouch ($832). Sizzle.

Trend Alert: Studded Shorts

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:50:22 -0700

We all own a pair of denim cutoffs, but what about studded shorts? Like studly vests, they add a unique rocker-girl vibe to your overall look and are a quick and simple DIY. Personally, I refuse to pay top dollar for such a fleeting yet cute trend. That's why I headed to my local fabric shop for a pack of studs and a glue gun. $6 and 20 minutes later, presto chango - studded shorts!

The Look For Less: Giuseppe Zanotti Stud Clutch

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:00:22 -0700

Here's what I love about clutches with studs: Studs are the easiest way to look tough, but since the surface area of a clutch is small, there's no overkill. Make sense? I would carry this Giuseppe Zanotti Stud Clutch ($745) but for that price? No thanks!

Now this Express Stud Foldover Clutch ($50) is more like it. In fact, I think the combination of big and small studs is more interesting. It's just bold enough without being in-your-face. What a stud.
