At Last! My Studded Converse HAVE ARRIVED!

After YEARS of sweating Bess' studded Converse -- but feeling the obvious and understandable resistance to shelling out like three bills for them -- I tracked down an amazing Etsy seller who did 'em for less than half. Check out CustomStudded on Etsy -- Jennifer is a DOLL, and she'll design your studded shoes according to the stud of your choosing: You pick the stud color/ style and the shoes. I happened to send her a brand-new pair of Converse. Oh, and it was a super-quick turnaround, too. Like, two days!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to sleep in these bbs.

These Brown Bess Studded Moc Boots Are My Achilles' Heel

($374, Bess, Ssense.com)

Stick a fork in me. I'm done. These studded Bess boots are my downfall. I do have to say though, I'm hitting a wall with the studded stuff. I own a studded handbag, studded trench, and boots with studs, they're in constant wardrobe rotation, and never the three shall meet. It's more than enough, you know?

FashionBinge Lust/ Must: Studded Mocs

($266, Bess, Oak)

Normally I'd be all over these pyramid-studded suede mocs, but a.) they're outta my price rangeage, b.) they're for guys, c.) they're from Bess, which is the kinda Soho store you walk into and you're like only Cokey stylists shop here. And then you leave really quickly.
