Trend: The Studded Collar

For some time now, photos of celebrities and streestyle fashionistas sporting studded collars have been appearing on numerous fashion blogs and magazines. Although the trend is not new, it is slowly gaining popularity and numerous studded collar DIY articles have already been posted online. 

It all started back in 2009 when Prada decided to introduce studded collars in its AW collection. Even though the trend was originally intended for men, it proved to be a success among female fashion enthusiasts everywhere.

Fashion Icon: Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung, became all the rage in the fashion world for her quirky and menswear-inspired fashion choices, earning her fashion icon status and her own Mulberry bag named the 'Alexa' back in 2009. Described as the "Kate Moss of our generation" by the New York Times, Alexa was born in England and started her career in the fashion world as a model, appearing in both magazines and music videos. 

After her short stint at modelling, the blazer-loving beauty decided to study journalism. Alexa has co-hosted numerous TV shows, such as T4's "Frock Me", NBC's "2011 Golden Globe Arrivals Special", MTV's and " It's On with Alexa Chung" among others. 

The staples of her wardrobe seem to be tailored blazers, striped pieces, oxford shoes, girly flowered dresses, small stachel bags, long cardigans and boyfriend sweaters.

Trend: Feed me some Oxfords

When models first walked down the runway wearing oxfords, I was not surprised, but I wasn't ecstatic either. To me the oxfords seemed like a very boring and masculine type of shoe that would soon go out of fashion.

Which is why, as I write this, I cannot help but feel slightly confused as I stare at the gorgeous Silver Madden silver oxfords that I bought recently.

For some reason, during the last couple of weeks I went into an oxford frenzy (which is weird enough, considering that the most extravagant shoes I currently own are leopard flats). Nevertheless,the oxfords grew on me, and I felt identified with this type of shoe. The oxford represents the ultimate stylish, preppy, and boyish shoe that a sort of awkward and book-worm type of girl would wear.
