Splurge vs Steal: Studded Black Leather Totes
You can count on a studded tote to give you that added rocker-edge that your outfits have been yearning for. A studded black leather tote, like a leather jacket, is a definitive, of-the-moment, tough-luxe accessory that you can rely on to spruce up and stylize even your most unexciting outfits… Just don’t wear them at the same time (the tote and the jacket) or you’ll risk looking like a Harley-Davidson groupie, which depending on who and where you are can be a good or very, very bad thing.
Splurge: Burberry Studded Leather Knight Bag ($2,195)
My studded leather bag of choice would be Burberry’s Studded Leather Knight bag. Recently spotted on the arm of Burberry spokes model, super star, and Brown University-alum, Emma Watson. The bag is part of Burberry’s Winter Storm line, a limited edition capsule collection showcasing classic burberry designs with chic and trendy twists.
Steal: ALDO Desamito ($44.98)
Practical and trendy, you won’t have to make the complicate the decision of purchasing an up-to-the-minute purse with being worried about whether the style will stick or not with your investment. With ALDO’s Desamito, you can enjoy the benefits of a chic studded tote without paying the hefty price of a designer’s creation. Made of entirely man-made materials, it’s also big enough to hold all your necessities, like keys and a cell phone, a bottle of water and a copy of your favorite magazine!
