Studs have made there way into everything from arm candy to shoes to luxury bags. The studs of the moment belong to the Valentino rockstud family. Everyone is familiar with the Rockstud shoe and the more affordable knock-offs (here & here).
The Valentino Rockstud tote, just like the shoes is a classic with a twist. Part lady-like bag, part edgy punk. But not too many people can afford a $2000 tote.
There are other luxury versions that are more affordable, in that they range from $400 – $1000 for a leather studded tote bag, and then there are pure knockoffs that re-create the style for the masses.
Shop the Rockstud tote look alikes:

This is the type of bag that you carry your life in and I love that there are so many versions of the same style so that you can find one that is uniquely you. Polka dot, lots of studs, small, large. You want it, it exists.
My favourite is the all over studded black tote. Number 12 and aptly named the Rockstar stud tote! The Micheal Kors versions are pretty fantastic too.
Which style is your favourite?

Loving the glitz and glimmer of a little stud...a touch of gold just goes a long way! Great picks, black and gold are easily my FAVES of the bunch!
