So, if you are a natural born hippie or Valentino addict, you are in luck this season. As the owner of a black studded structured Valentino handbag I bought years ago, I thought I was pretty cutting edge back then. However, other designers are jumping in on the stud and fringe trend, and the good news at all different price points.
While I’m talking mainly shoes and handbags, clothing is following suit…with bold buttons and fringe detailing. However, if I can give you some Cincinnista advice, watch overdoing this trend in one outfit! Several years ago, I was teased by a fellow traveler on a airline flight because of my coordinating studded Valentino handbag and flats….unfortunately, a traveling “oops.” Never the less, “Spike” is what this man called me! Well, while I must admit he was kind of cute and harmless….I laughed it off and took the hint. Not to mention mixing different studs in your shoes with your handbag? Watch out ladies….I’ve got you covered! More to follow…
