Corduroy Fall & Winter Fashion Trend: How to Wear!

Hello girls!

Today's blog post & my new fashion video are about the CORDUROY fashion trend for Fall (Autumn) & Winter 2011./12.

What is corduroy?

Corduroy is a textile composed of twisted fibers that, when woven, lie parallel (similar to twill) to one another to form the cloth's distinct pattern, a "cord." Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. Corduroy is, in essence, a ridged form of velvet.

I already had in my wardrobe, several different clothing items made out of the corduroy, so I was very pleased when I realized it's back in trend!

I can wear my old clothes and be in the latest trend, without having to spend money buying new clothes!

I will probably just "refresh" the clothes by accessorizing them with my new accessories that I bought this season :)

I also have some corduroy material clothes back home in my old wardrobe in Croatia, so on my next trip home I'll have to remember to bring some of those clothes back to Italy with me :)

I do miss now my corduroy trench coat and cute corduroy hats!

I feel I just NEED to have them right now in my wardrobe in Italy, lol!

But still, here I do have my "vintage looking", military green pants from River Island, grey blazer type jacket by Diesel and my three quarter length brown pants from Vero Moda :)

These are definitely among my favourite fashion stores and the quality of the clothes confirms that!

I've had those pieces in my wardrobe for six years or more and they're still in the perfect condition and I can wear them now as if they were brand new! :)

If you'd like to see those items, definitely check out my video, where I'm showing you these pieces and talking more "in debth" about them:

Here I'm also presenting you my OOTD with my three quarter length corduroy pants from Vero Moda that I bought while I was still living & working in Croatia!

& here are a few pics of this look:

If you have some old clothes made out of corduroy material, now is the time to pull them out of your closet, revaluate them & start wearing them again! :)

& You'll be IN STYLE ;)

Update On My New Fashion & Style Videos!

Hello girls!

This blog post is going  to be just a quick update on what's new on my youtube channels!

For all you fashionistas, I have a three new fashion videos up!

(make up & product reviews are coming up soon, I won't be neglecting that aspect of my channel!)

So let's start with my "Fashion Diary" channel, MissFashionKitty

I have a quick OOTD video there... a casual OOTD with a twist! ;) (feat. my suede like red heeled booties by Francesco Milano, that I thrifted a couple of years ago, for only 2 €, but they were brand new!)

Finally, I found an occasion to wear this: For a casual afternoon & shopping with my friend :)

Watch this OOTD HERE!

Next, on my eipysgudps channel I have two new fashion videos:

H&M Fashion Haul: New Outfit Ideas (CLICK HERE TO WATCH!)

In this video I'm showing you some of my latest purchases from H&M, featuring the high waist trend, lace trend & more!)

♫ ♫ ♫

& then, I made a video on how to wear/ style peggings!

Urban Dictionary  says:

"...Peggings are just like jeggings except they are not of the jean material. They are pant/leggings and they are the new thing..."

I recently bought two pairs at italian open market.

First I got a pair of dark grey ones, they cost me only 3€! They felt extremely comfy & I noticed I can style them with everything, so I went back for another pair, this time a simple black!

How I styled my peggings?

CLICK HERE TO WATCH! :)

& here are some of my favourite booties & flats that I used in my videos to create different outfits/ stylings:

Cute ballet flats with bow decorations by "Best Shoes".

Brown, lace-up booties by "Just Women".

Grey, slouch booties from "Imaty's Fashion Factory" store.

Suede- like, black high heeled booties by "Luna Roja".

I hope my new video will give you some nice outfit inspirations :)

OOTD Before the Storm: Rocker Chic, Biker Boots & Tight Leopard Print Pants

Hello beauties!

Here is another quick outfit post as I'm a little behind with my blog posts ...

This is an outfit that I was wearing a week, or two ago, one gloomy & rainy Sunday ...

Ever since that day, the beautiful weather has returned to Italy, so we're still enjoying a true summer here!

I'm sorry it's only now that I upload it.

I really like the outfit I was wearing that day, totally my style & something that I really feel good in :)

Watch my video here!

Since then, the weather has been so lovely that I wore my new biker boots (featured in this video) only once!

All the time I'm in my ballet flats or sandals!

I was wearing:

T-shirt: Zara (TRF)

Cropped suede like grey jacket: Zara

Leopard print pants: H&M (young girl's dept.)

Belt: Top Shop

Bag: Valentino

Ring: Pull & Bear

Earrings: Chanel logo

Necklace: H&M

Black leather cuff: H&M (men's dept.)

Biker boots: Bought in Italy, some random store, the brand is "Malien" (...never heard of it before actually!, lol)

My fashion tips for today:

- Shop even at kids' & men's dept. as you may find a real treasures there!

Think outside of your size & department :)

- The leopard print pants are Huuuuge for this season!

I got mine a few years ago, but I just recently saw the very similar ones at Zara (trf), they're the hottest trend around!

It looks like the animal print just won't ever go out of style?

Hope you enjoyed this quick outfit post :)

I'll see you soon with a new beauty product review, a product that I'm so excited about that I just MUST share ;)

Ciao, ciao!
