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
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!


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 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! ♥
