What a Stud!

Let's get a little rock and roll today. A little wild from my usual prep-classic style. I'm talking studs. nothing offensive, but edgy. A little unexpected. And I love these studded skirts because I can balance them with a feminine silk tie blouse or keep it sassy with a jean jacket.

Bloomingdale's, Studded Flare Skirt, $54 $47

I'm starting with my favorite. The vertical studding lengthens the legs and the flare does exactly what it's supposed to do. 

Target, Athens Blue Studded Ponte Pencil Skirt, $24

A sassy pencil option that is in a sturdy ponte fabric.

Guess, Studded Wrap Skirt, $79

Love this wrap with gunmetal studding. The back also features an exposed zipper.

Tulle, Rockin' Around Mini Skirt, $39

Not so much for this trend? How about the quietest of options that still fits the bill.

The studded skirt is a fun way to inject some energy into your wardrobe. Whether you're a prep, rocker, or boho, anyone can pull off this trend.

Stud Cuffin

Happy humpday lovebugs, we're getting there.

Let's add some edge to this dull Wednesday. I'm thinking studs. Studding has been huge this season it and it won't be going away soon. Today we're looking at some studded cuffs. A simple accessory with some kick.

Urban Outfitters, AV Max Studded Enamel Cuff, $68

There is something Grecian Goddess about this cuff. Also comes in orange and black.

C Wonder, Screw Stud Snake Embossed Skinny Cuff, $38

This cuff is just screaming for an arm party. Layer on those bangles ladies!

BaubleBar, Glam Cone Cuff, $48

I feel as though this cuff should come with a warning, but wow, is it fabulous.

Nordstrom, Vince Camuto Studded Leather Cuff, $58

Ok, picture this: you're wearing a simple black crewneck top and then you go to lift up the groceries/laptop/kid/puppy/etc and BAM, everyone sees this bad boy. Quiet, yet demanding.

Studding is a great way to add some bling to an accessory or even piece of apparel. Add it to a simple cuff and it's a whole new piece.

Simple, to the point and goes with just about anything you want to wear this summer.
