Leather shorts

Who says shorts just have to be for summer? I love this winter look from RockinEllee with these fab leather shorts! This pair are from Nelly and aren't available in the Plaza anymore, however there are a couple of alternatives you can go for.

The textures of the leather and the knitted sweater are great and a perfect combination, and although I wouldn't normally go for combined shoes like this, these two pairs seem to work in sync =) Plus hat and hair? *win*

Nelly Review

So sometime in the past couple of weeks this new release of Nelly was placed on our doorsteps:

In my opinion this is one of the weaker Nelly collections, it really just had a lot fewer pieces of interest for me - I'm sure some of you guys will agree with me, but there will be some people out there who love it! 

There's a good mix of clothing and accessories pieces, with prices ranging from 9 to 25 SD's, which really isn't that bad as most items fall in the middle rather than at the top of the range. When the store first came out I picked up only 2 pieces, but I've since bought a couple more - unfortunately I've been yet to style anything:

I honestly thought I'd bought more, but I'm so behind that I just realised they were from the last release - whoops =S

I really loved the jeans as soon as I saw them, I think they're an easy fit into my closet and style. The skirt is definitely not my everyday sort of style, but it reminded me of something I saw a blogger wear once and I just couldn't help but see it in a sports luxe kind of way, so wanted to try and recreate that - had no time so far, but hopefully I'll style it soon - if not for Wear My Closet, then just a regular styled outfit! Just got the shirt recently after featuring it here - just had to get it, will probably end up getting the skirt too =) I'm also really tempted by the two skirts on the second image above, the white one and the black and white patterned one, I think they could make really cute summery outfits, and the pink floral sweater on the first page, that could look great =)

So as per, had no time, I'm very exhausted, it's almost half midnight here and I still have to make my pasta for lunch tomorrow, apologies neighbours if I fall asleep and leave my cooker on and burn down our flats =P Just kidding that won't happen ... !

Anyway, here are a handful of outfits with these Nelly pieces that I've seen around the site:

Jelinna wearing Klara Skirt, 14SD's

RockinEllee wears Pattern Skirt, 14SD's

Badscere wears Oh La Top, 15SD'

Style Makeover: RockinEllee

The 6th style makeover, I do it in the order signed up for, but don't include those who've been inactive in quite a while. In case you didn't read the post about it before/are new to the blog, basically this segment is where people who have signed up get an outfit styled by myself. I only use clothes they already own(so if you have few items it will be more difficult) so no purchase is necessary.

 {Left = Before, Right = After}

Elle is definitely one of these people who doesn't need a style makeover - she looks fab far more often than not! But I've given her style makeover my best shot!

The only think that I'm not a fan of in the before look would be the socks and the flat boots, if you visit me regularly, you will see that I rarely wear flat shoes, to me they just aren't that flattering(it's personal opinion, you don't have to feel the same). I kept the idea of the high waisted skirt from her 'before' look, and chose the Hotbuys mini skirt to style, I used it's jewelled waist as detail so I didn't feel the need to overload with accessories or prints(plus she doesn't have many clothes in her closet - it was a challenge to choose!). I kept it simple with a white cropped tee and black heels, and accessorised with basic sunglasses.

It reminds me of minnie mouse so much!

Hope you like it!
