The merchandise at Oak keeps getting better and better, and just in comes this awesome black asymmetric studded skirt! Honestly, what’s better than leather (ok, it’s faux leather…but that’s besides the point), studs and zippers?

Even though my style is slowly digressing from that grungy rocker look, I still find myself drooling over the items from Bess. Although the lookbook for Fall 2009 is nothing terribly new, (leather, studs, zippers and skin) these high quality items never fail to impress me. Check out what Bess has in store for this season:

Gloves are not just made to keep your hands warm during the winter months, they have been worn by women as fashion items since the 13th century. Gloves became a symbol of status depending on the amount of embellishment, and the trends that catch on are often catapulted to the mainstream by a music of film fashion icon.

Did studs become cool in the past few months? I know we’ve seen a lot of it, but this is a bit much…Studded knees? If it’s diy then it’s done really badly, looks like a few have already fallen off…

What do you guys think? Cool or not?
