Fall OOTD: RED (faux) Leather Jacket & Leopard Print "Infinity" Scarf!

Hello lovelies!

In Italy we haven't had a big cold just yet, so I'm quite enjoying this Fall season & layering clothes, wearing cute, but not too warm jackets & playing with my accessories!

Today, the focus was on my red (faux) leather jacket that I bought at the end of this summer sales (!!) at Bershka store, for only 9.99 €

I knew this is going to be a great clothing item to have in my wardrobe this Fall! ;)

I accessorized my outfit with a leopard print "infinity" scarf from H&M (this season's- so you may still find it in stores...), I just ♥ the RED & LEOPARD PRINT combo!

My grey skinny jeans are quite old, I bought them when I first moved here to Italy, in 2007. and they have immediately become my favourite pair of jeans & my "GO TO" clothing item!

I just love how they fit!

I bought them at H&M (divided) and they're seriously one of my best- buys from that store!

Anyways, there is a quick video on my OOTD, so you can check it out here:

& some pics of the outfit:

How to Wear (faux) Leather Shorts: More Styling Ideas!

Hello beauties!

As you already know, leather is a big trend for this Fall/Winter 2011. season!

I'm loving my new faux leather shorts by Tally Weijl ♥

You already saw my OOTD video- a styling idea featuring these shorts

CLICK HERE TO WATCH- IF YOU HAVEN'T YET! ;)

The outfit that I presented you then was a very casual/trendy/chic outfit, ideal even for every-day runing errands!

In my new video, I'm showing you a lot of different outfits with these faux leather shorts, from very 

casual-rocker-military to glam & appropriate for special occasions!

WATCH MY "How to Wear (faux) Leather Shorts: More Styling Ideas!" VIDEO HERE! CLICK HERE TO WATCH!!!

While filming my video, I managed to take a few quick pics of two of my favourite outfits (ideal for going out at night- special occasions!)

The top I'm wearing on the pics above is a sparkly/beaded top from H&M.

I got it recently on midseason sale for cca 10 €.

I like the contrast between this delicate powdery pink top & black leather!

It makes the outfit stand out, which makes it ideal for some sort of a special event/occasion, or just going out at night, clubbing...

I accessorized the look with my big sparkly bracelet that I got this summer here in Italy, in a big warehouse, where they sell a bit of everything, actually!

I got it for 14€, but other accessories stores were selling these bracelets for more than 40€!!!

Insane!

I'm so glad I managed to get my hands on it for only 14€!

I fell in love with this bracelet...I actually saw this exact model of bracelet on a client of ours at work...I had to ask her where did she get it, as it caught my attention immediately & I knew I was on a mission to find it! ;)

This gorgeous electric blue silk blouse is a present from my dear granny ♥

She wore this blouse a lot, but the material is such an amazing quality that it is still in a perfect condition.

I love the combo of a billowy, silk blouse with a more tight leather shorts.

It makes the outfit classy as opposed to trashy if pairing these shorts with something tight on the top as well!

These here are my favourite booties to wear with my leather shorts:

Grey slouch boots.
Bought last year in one small italian boutique called
"Imaty's Fashion Factory"

This season's purchase:
Suede-like calf high black booties.
Extra high heels, but still quite comfy.
These booties make your legs appear so elegant & lean!

Hope you enjoyed my little styling ideas around the (faux) leather shorts!

...

In my videos & previous blog posts, I mentioned that I'm thinking about buying a high-waisted black leather skirt...

So, just to quickly update you: I did get it! Yeay!

I found the perfect one at Stradivarius fashion store :)

I'll make sure to feature it in an upcoming haul, or one of my OOTD videos ;)

...

Have a lovely afternoon beauties!

How to Wear/Style a Leopard Print Gilet?

Hello fashionistas!

I've been very productive today, I worked early this morning, then went to do a weekly grocery shopping...it is a rainy & kind of a chilly day, but that didn't stop me to go for a walk around the local open market (where I live, it happens twice a week: on Tuesdays and Saturdays...given the fact that I always work on Saturdays, I really wanted to go today & check out for the good deals & bargains!)

I also wanted to buy a material & beads for my jewellery, but unfortunately, due to the rain, the guys that usually sell beads & stuff didn't show up! :(

However, I'm still glad I went to the market because I did get a black skull scarf for only 3€, the famous Kelly...inspired... dark red bag for 29€ and the most adorable black & grey wool cape for only 5€!!!

I haven't taken the pics, but I'll show these items to you in one of my incoming haul videos, or featuring them in my OOTD videos :)

Talking about the OOTD videos, here is another one that is new on my MissFashionKitty channel:

I filmed this video a while ago and I had it in the files of my computer, so I edited it & re-uploaded...as I believe it is still very authentic!

Leopard print gilet is an item that is great for Fall/Winter season & you can style it in so many different ways...and wear it for.... from casual to special occasions...any occasion basically! ♪♪

You can also check out the video that I have on my eipysgudps channel where I'm giving you more ideas for the complete stylings around the leopard print gilet:

& here are some pics of the looks:

Break the everyday "all black" with a leopard print gilet & add
some fun to your styling!

A styling for "going out at night": black mini dress with shiny leggings, a black turtleneck & a
vintage belt.

"Rocker/chic girl" with leather look leggings & black high heeled booties! 

Office- work style.
Military green & grey are always trendy colours for the Fall season.
Add a bit of colour: I'm wearing my bright coloured silk scarf with adorable cats print!

Casual look with boyfriend fit (skinny leg) jeans & a big, brown vintage bag.

Youthful/ trendy look: Cute print T-shirt, lots of layered chunky bracelets,
boyfriend fit, skinny leg jeans & another vintage bag!

I hope you liked the looks!

Which one is your favourite and why?

Hopefully this blog post & my videos give you some ideas on what to wear in this rainy Fall season, to make your Fall less dull & gloomy! ;)

How to Style Leather Shorts ♫ Edgy/Girly/Trendy/Chic ♫

Hello girls!

The sun & the warm weather is back to Italy...yeay!

We aren't ready for the cold just yet!

Today I'm going out & about with my friend Chiara...she's looking for a second job, so I'm going to help her distribute her cv & then we're going to hit the mall together ;)

However, I don't have any big shopping plans!

...Just to see what's new in stores...

Before I go, I'd like to update my blog with a couple of pics of mine...this is how I like wearing my new faux leather shorts:

As you can read from this blog post' title, I was going for a girly-edgy-trendy-chic-rocker-military feel.

The thing with leather shorts, if you don't style them carefully, you can easily appear "cheap/trashy" and sooo not appropriate for everyday look!

My idea was to style them in a way to be able to even do a grocery shopping wearing my faux leather shorts!

I paired them with:

- Military green linen vest: H&M

- Oversized grey top w/sparkly details: Matthew Williamson

- Black ballet flats: Flyfor

- Sunnies: H&M

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

- Bag: Bought in Italy, Trieste, a while ago

- Skull scarf: Vanity accessories store

- Cute rhinestone panda ring Click here to buy the same ring!

- Chanel logo earrings: a "souvenier" from London

- Black watch: Avon jewellery


My faux leather shorts are from Tally Weijl fashion store.

Leather shorts are a really trendy clothing item this Fall 2011. season, so I'll make sure to do more styling ideas with them ;)

Do you have a pair of (faux) leather shorts & if you do, how do you like to style them?

I'm also looking to buy a faux leather high waisted skirt, I saw the one that I like at Stradivarius store, so I might just go back & get it! ;)

Thanx for reading!

Ciao, ciao, belle ragazze! ♥
