A Fashionista’s Tale of Love for Studded bags



My Studded Bag Obsession and Life Lately

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while now because I’ve got something I’m really excited about—studded bags. I’ve always loved how they look, and I’ll just come out and say it: I’m totally obsessed with them. A couple weeks ago, I went on a shopping spree and kind of went overboard. I ended up buying four of them for myself, plus one for my mom as a gift. They’re all super cool and fit that studded style I can’t get enough of. But things have been a little crazy around here—my husband hasn’t been feeling great, so I’ve been juggling the house and everything else, and the weather’s been all over the place with rain and clouds. It’s made me miss summer like crazy.

You might be wondering why I’d grab so many bags at once. For me, it’s not just about keeping them all—it’s about gifting too. I love picking out stuff for friends and family, and I also really enjoy donating things to people who need them. I think if you’ve got extra, you should share it, you know? That’s something I’ve always believed in. Anyway, this post is about my love for studded bags, what’s been going on lately with my husband being sick and the weather being a mess, and how I try to spread some happiness through gifting, which ties into my blog, Fashionista Era. Hope you enjoy reading about it!

How I Got Hooked on Studded Bags

Studded bags have been my thing for a while now—I’m not even sure when it started. Maybe years ago when I’d flip through magazines or see them online, like on Pinterest or something. They’ve got this cool vibe with the leather and those shiny studs that just grab my attention. I remember my first one—it was this cheap black tote I found at a thrift store, and I carried it everywhere until it basically fell apart. Ever since then, I’ve been into them, and it’s only gotten worse—or better, depending on how you look at it.

So, recently, I went shopping and couldn’t stop myself. I got four bags: a black clutch with tight little studs, a tan satchel with softer ones, a gray tote that’s big and bold, and a cream purse that’s kind of delicate but still has that studded edge. Then I saw this perfect gray one for my mom and had to get it for her—it’s her style, and I knew she’d love it. I probably should’ve stopped after one or two, but they were all so great, and I kept thinking about how I’d use them. It was a little nuts, but I’m happy with them.

Life’s Been a Bit Crazy

While I was all excited about these bags, things at home have been kind of a mess. My husband’s been sick—not anything super serious, but enough that he’s been out of it for a while. That means I’ve been handling everything—cooking, cleaning, keeping up with our son, and full of energy. It’s a lot, and I’m pretty tired by the end of the day. On top of that, the weather’s been awful—rain nonstop, clouds all the time, just gray and dreary. It’s made everything feel heavier, and I keep wishing summer would come back with those sunny days I love.

The bags have been a bright spot, though. I’d throw one over my shoulder—running to the store, picking up my son—and it’d make me smile, even with all the chaos. It’s funny how something small like that can lift you up a bit when you’re dealing with sick days and rainy weather. I’ve been trying to keep things together, but I’ll admit, it’s been a challenge lately.


Why So Many Bags?

Okay, so four bags for me and one for my mom might sound like overkill, and I get that. People might think, “Why do you need all those?” But here’s the thing—it’s not just about me keeping them. I love giving stuff away too. I’ve always been that person who picks up extra things when I’m shopping, thinking about who’d like them. My mom’s bag was a no-brainer—she’s got this classy vibe, and I could picture her using it. I’ve done it with friends too—grabbing something I know they’d love just because it feels good to see them happy.

Plus, I’m big on donating. If I’ve got more than I need, I’ll pass stuff on to people who could use it—bags, clothes, whatever. I think it’s important to share when you’re lucky enough to have extra. That’s how I’ve always tried to live. So yeah, this spree was a little wild—four for me—but it’s not just about hoarding them. It’s about joy, giving, and maybe keeping a couple that make me feel good too.

What’s Going On at Home

Like I said, my husband’s been sick, and it’s thrown our routine off. He’s usually up and about, helping with stuff, but lately, he’s been resting a lot. I’ve been cooking meals—nothing fancy, just keeping us fed—cleaning up after my son, who’s into everything, and making sure the house doesn’t fall apart. It’s been a lot to handle, especially with the weather being so gloomy. Rain all the time means we’re stuck inside more, and my son’s energy doesn’t exactly take a break. I’d chase him— toys everywhere, giggles loud—and think: how am I keeping up with this?

The weather’s not helping—it’s been cloudy and wet forever, and I miss summer so much. Those sunny days where you can just step outside and feel good—they’re gone for now. I’d look—rain streaking, gray thick—and wish for a break, a chance to breathe without the damp. My bags, though—they’ve been a little pick-me-up, a way to feel put-together even when everything else is a mess.

Why Studded Bags Are My Thing

Let’s talk about these bags because they’re honestly my favorite. There’s something about them—the leather’s smooth, the studs add this cool edge, and they just look so good with everything. That black clutch? I’d use it for a night out—small, sleek, perfect with jeans or a dress. The tan satchel’s great for everyday stuff—running around with my son, grabbing groceries—it’s got that warm vibe I like. The gray tote’s bigger, bolder—great for when I need to carry more, like stuff for a day out. And the cream purse—it’s softer, kind of fancy, something I’d save for when I want to feel extra nice.

The one for my mom—it’s got this gray leather with studs that aren’t too loud, just right for her. I knew she’d like it as soon as I saw it. They all fit that studded style I’ve been into forever—it’s not over-the-top, but it’s got personality, you know? I’d carry—jeans casual, dress sharp—and feel good, like they’re part of me. It’s hard to explain, but they’ve got this special place in my heart, and this spree just proved how much I love them.


Gifting and Giving Back

So yeah, I got five bags total, and I know that’s a lot. But it’s not just about keeping them all for myself—it’s about sharing too. I’ve always loved giving gifts. When I’m out shopping and see something perfect for someone, I grab it—my mom’s bag was one of those moments. I could picture her using it, smiling, and that made it worth it. I do it with friends too—little things here and there, just because I think they’d like it. It’s fun seeing their faces light up.

I also like donating stuff. If I’ve got extra—like bags or clothes I don’t need—I’ll give them to people who could use them. It’s something I really believe in—sharing what you’ve got when you’re lucky enough to have more than enough. I’d think—life’s good, I’m blessed—and want to pass that on. It’s not a big deal—it’s just how I’ve always tried to be. This spree was partly that—four for me, sure, but one for Mom, and maybe some extras I’ll give away later. It’s about joy, not just keeping it all to myself.

Fashionista Era and What It Means to Me

This blog—Fashionista Era—it’s where I get to talk about all this, the stuff I’m into like these studded bags. I started it because I love fashion and beauty, and it’s turned into this cool space where I can share what’s on my mind. These bags—they’re a big part of that right now, something I wanted to write about because they make me happy. I’d sit—laptop open, coffee cold—typing this, thinking: maybe someone else loves them too.

I also want it to be more than just stuff I buy. It’s about spreading some good—like how I feel about gifting and giving back. I’d hope—you’d read this, nod along—and maybe think about sharing something yourself. It’s not preachy—it’s me, a way I live that I’d love to see catch on. I’d write—bags shining, life humming—and feel it: this is my spot, a place to connect, to cheer what’s good.

 Dealing with the Chaos

Life’s been a lot lately—my husband being sick has thrown everything off. I’d cook—simple stuff, soups mostly—keeping us fed while he rests. My son’s doesn’t stop—running around, making messes, keeping me busy. I’d clean— toys scooped, floors wiped—a job that’s never done with a toddler around. The weather’s been awful—rain all the time, gray skies that make me feel cooped up. I’d look—clouds thick, puddles deep—and miss summer so bad, those warm days where everything felt easier.

These bags, though—they’ve been a little escape. I’d grab—the gray tote, stuff piling—and feel a bit better, like I’ve got something fun even when it’s messy. It’s not fixing everything—my husband’s still recovering, the rain’s still falling—but it’s a boost, a way to keep going when I’m tired.


Why I Love Sharing

That’s the thing—I don’t just keep stuff for me. Gifting’s always been a big deal—like that bag for my mom, a little way to say I’m thinking of her. I’d do it—friends too, family too—grabbing extras when I’m out because it’s fun to share. And giving back—it’s something I really believe in. If I’ve got more than I need, I’ll donate it—bags, clothes, whatever—to people who could use a lift. I’d think—life’s been good to me—and want to pass that on, you know?

This spree—it’s part of that. Four bags for me because I love them, sure, but one for Mom because it’s her too. And maybe I’ll give some away later—spread the joy a bit more. It’s how I’ve always tried to be—not hoarding, but sharing, keeping things light.

 Wrapping It Up

So yeah, that’s where I’m at—crazy about studded bags, dealing with a sick husband and rainy days, and still finding some fun in it all. These bags—they’re awesome, and I’m not sorry I got them. Life’s been a mess, but they’ve been a bright spot, something to smile about. I’d love—your thoughts, your nods—a hum we’d share on Fashionista Era. It’s not just bags—it’s me, a way I live, a joy I’d spread. Here’s to it—bags gleaming, life humming—a journey I’d not trade, a glow I’d keep.
