CELEBS IN STYLE: STUDDED LEATHER JACKETS

What's more classic than a tough leather jacket?  A staple in many wardrobes, this standard is being tricked out with studs.  Seen on Alicia Keys, Nicole Richie, and Teyana Taylor, studded jackets are one spring trend that won't be going away anytime soon.

This favorite amongst celebs has also been spotted on the pages of Vogue and Elle magazine.  In the March issue of Vogue, model Arizona Muse rocks a Balmain studded lambskin jacket complete with zippers, safety pins, and metal stars.  It's a little too much for my taste.  But the Burberry Prorsum coat worn by actress Emma Roberts in Elle's April edition with its studded collar and spiky shoulders gave me goosebumps. For a cool $6,000 you can own one too.
