My favorite Fall 2012 trend? Studs. Studs. Studs.  When the trend surfaced it was seen mostly for nighttime, but when I saw it carry over over into daytime casual, as a girl who was way too sick of her Lululemon tracksuits, I thought I couldn’t be happier.  And then,  when I saw these fabulous studded  pieces while walking by a local boutique ,Mint Julep Chicago, I was happier. And then, when I was they were both under $65 and walked out with them, I knew it was as happy as it gets.
