Get her look: Taylor Momsen in blue suede ankle boots

Editor’s Pick of the Day: Rascal Rapture studded heel court shoes

We’ve been loving studded shoes for quite some time now (you may recall our recent Louise Goldin for Topshop excitement as just one example), but it’s not often we find a pair of really, really hot shoes for under £20.  That would be like doing the impossible.
