Fierce Shoe Friday

Celine me alone...

Today's Fierce Shoe Friday is Zara's take on the classy and coveted Céline strappy Mulese sandal (don't get me started on my serious lusting of a Céline Phantom bag...). 

My sister actually bought these bad boys today and I am tad envious- I lie lie, I think I may have to borrow! Zara's take on the shoe is perfect- super sexy and they pair great with a short bright mini skirt. Think emphasising legs galore! If you can't afford the real thing- then these are the perfect replacement.

Thank me later...

Happy Friday!

Is Autumn all about layers?

Post-summer wardrobe is always described as layering your pieces. I really really want to be able to achieve this look but always end up in a sweat about it....literally! As soon as I am out for five minutes, I break out in such a sweat that the jacket, scarf, jumper, and top are screaming to come off! 

I am not unfit or anything, but as soon as I'm out and about, I end up carrying half my wardrobe in my hands. So the key to my A/W wardrobe this year are pieces that are functional but also stylish.

Dublin is blessed with mostly downpours and we get about one/two months of moderately cold weather. It's not the Antarctic or anything, just always wet! The following are on my A/W list of must-haves; I tend to keep a palette of mostly dark colours with mixed fabric textures and a pop of colour in an accessory to funk it up. 

I tend to rock a fur/tweed combo, various layers and chunky boots (and obviously the obligatory bit of leopard). What are you most excited about rocking this A/W?
