Studs, studs, studs

I never intended to buy a bag and pair of shoes that matched, but it all turned around when I bagged these two beauties within a week of each other. The bag came first, my mum actually spotted it for me in the Christmas Holidays during our regular mother -daughter bonding time in TKmaxx. I believe it to be a rare find amongst the hundreds of bags they have there, because I've never come across another. Unbelievably, it was twenty-something pounds (can't quite remember) from the brand Bessie, which is something that people who have complimented me on it find hard to believe. It's safe to say that its probably my favourite bag that I've ever owned! The shoes came next. They are a pair of black studded brogues that I found in the Topshop winter sale, and I haven't taken them off since. When I wear these items together, I always get asked if i'm obsessed with studs. I guess its fair to say that I probably am. Searching through other blogs and magazines, I think a lot of people share this view. Here are some examples. Maybe next i'll get a pair of denim studded shorts to match? :)
