If you only splurge on ONE unnecessary item this season, you MUST get yourself into a pair of studded heels. My favorites are Rock & Republic's stud-and-spike embellished "Nika" leather heels. Kristen Stewart wore them with her Valentino dress to the VMAs, and Kara DioGuardi's been seen in the punk-inspired heels too.

The Rock & Republic "Nika" heels are $295 and come in grey, like Kristen Stewart's, fuchsia, and black, like their gorgeous black studded Christian Loubotin Pigalle 100 predecessors Blake Lively and Ciara have been seen in. (And was The City's Erin Kaplan was rocking a pair of TO-DIE-FOR studded heels on last night's premiere too!)

Check out more studded heels, from super 'spensy ones to studded heels that'll only set you back $22!

And if you insist on paying top dollar for your studded heels, go right ahead, Mademoiselle Moneybags. Christian Louboutin's Pigalle 100 studded heels don't mess. They're $995 at Net-a-Porter.com. Those mesh studded Jimmy Choos make me weak in the knees. They're soooo Madonna in "Borderline," and they're soooo $825 at BergdorfGoodman.com. Last but not least, Giuseppe Zanotti's studded, cap-toe, red-heeled stilettos are everything dragaliciously wonderful about shoes in one shoe. They're $680 at Colette.fr.
