Fierce Shoe Friday

Studded Leopard...

Today's Fierce Shoe Friday is the studded leopard print sandal by Zara. I have the exact shoe in the all black colour-way and live in them. Obviously because I'm partial to the bit of leopard print, these are now on my wish list! The material is a mixture of polyester and leather, and there is a cute peep toe and gold accentuations through the studs on the heel, the ankle cuff and on the fastening. 

Zara is fast becoming my favourite high street shop. With a quick turnaround in new products every two weeks, I never fail to find something that I want from the store.  This new years, myself and the bf are heading to Madrid for a few days, so you can be sure to see a haul post sometime during January purely dedicated to Zara!

Studs = Fierce, and at only seventy euro, these are a steal for the many party outfits they could compliment over the coming festive season.

Miaow Miaow...

Today's Fierce Shoe Friday is the 'wild cat loafer'. A loafer covered in a faux pony hair leopard print and an adorable cat face stitched into it...what's not to love??? I'm obviously partial to a bit of leopard print (I lie..I lie..all over please) but these loafers are perfect for a Sunday brunch or running errands.  They will quirk up any outfit, and ok, I understand that they are not exactly practical for the blessed Irish weather of rain. But that's what taxis were made for!  
I know it's my second week in a row of a shoe from NastyGal.com , but I always seem to enjoy the new lines they have in every week. They are trendy, quirky and really reasonably priced. Happy Shopping!

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?
