Shop Of The Month…Zara

Currently lusting over all of the above…..

I have been a fan of Zara since I was about 17.  They have a knack of creating pieces which are both on trend, yet timeless.  And we all know about the icon pieces…bucket bag anyone?  Notwithstanding the fact that their clothing lasts forever, they are very affordable.  Yes, there are a few high priced pieces, but it goes without saying that you are paying for quality.

As I've said previously, I love to online shop and I find that the Zara website is one of the most cleanest and easiest clothing website to navigate around.  

As Autumn is upon us, I have chosen the above pieces of which I need to get into my wardrobe asap!

What items are you lusting over and what is your shop of the month?

Depop…Happy Shopping!

I have recently discovered the Depop app and I am now hooked!

As you know, I am a big fan of places such as Ebay, where not only can you grab a bargain, but you can sell your own stuff off!  Everyone's a winner!  However, I had become bored and I wanted to be able to sell on a much easier platform and in a place where my subscribers and followers would have easier access to.

Depop has the feel like Instagram, where you follow sellers, like items you..well…like and scroll through the uploaded items for sale.  You then have a quick option to buy, which then takes you to your paypal account.  No mess, no fuss.

I have just uploaded some items, so do check them out.  I shall be uploading much more over the upcoming weeks, so make sure you follow me (whatdawndidinheels) on Depop.

Happy shopping!

The Crop Top

Frilly Tube Top - ZARA (sold out in black) | Purple maxi skirt - Ebay

Summer is here and I've fallen in love with crop tops.  Here is one of my favourite outfits from my recent trip to Italy.  If you're not comfortable wearing just the crop top, you could pair it up with a sheer, open shirt, or wear with a blazer.  

Will you be rocking crop tops this summer?

In Those Jeans

Polka Dot Crop Top - The City Rack online | Black ASOS high waisted jeans, found here.

White Crop top - ASOS, found here. |  High waisted Jeggings -ASOS, found here.

I don't know what it is of late, but I can feel my style evolving yet again.  I have never been one for jeans, mainly because I could never find a pair to properly fit my big behind!  However, ASOS jeans have been sitting pretty on my perky very well; for that, I am grateful.  I just wanted to show you the two pairs I purchased recently and just to let you know, the acid wash one is currently on sale ;)

#OOTD

Hey guys.

I just wanted show you this cute tee, which I nabbed on Ebay.  It just makes me smile, as it reminds me of all the #ootd vids I've done thus far.

For £12.99 you can't really go wrong.  Buy yours here.

September Wants

We are mid-way through September, which means Autumn is literally here.  Moving from summer to autumn clothes wise, can be a difficult move because it's that awkward in-between stage; layer up too much and you're too hot.  Dress like the summer and you're too cold!

However, as I live in a country where the temperature can just plummet within a day, I have decided to keep my eye on a few pieces that will actually help me to transition from autumn through to winter without a glitch:

Khaki Parker Jacket - River Island

River Island has literally put three trends together and created the ultimate jacket.  Khaki parkers have rolled back into trend this season and the material is perfect for the not so freezing cold days.  Complete with leather detail and a fur trim, what more could a girl ask for?

Mongolian Fur Collar Biker Jacket

I absolutely love biker jackets.  I love the edge it brings to an outfit.  However, this has a twist of sophistication with the soft fur.

  Furry Jumper - asos.com

I think the print is so fun on this jumper and I would definitely pair this with some leather trousers.

Frilled Playsuit - asos.com

Playsuits shouldn't be restricted to the summer months.  Pair playsuits up with opaque tights and ankle boots.

Quilted Ankle Boot - Zara

I think the picture says it all really!

Cut Out Shoe Boot - Zara

I'm totally in love with these boots.  A real statement piece and one which can be taken through to the spring.  

What items are you lusting over this September?  A new fashion video will be posted on my YouTube channel this weekend.

Remember, whatever you're doing, do it in heels!

Casually Sexy OOTD

I have a problem with dressing down.  I just can't do it lol.  Most of the time, I'm dressed up because I have the mentality of the day I'm dressed down , something will happen that I'm not fashionably dressed for...weird I know.  But hey-ho, I like dressing up.

However, this hi-low jumper top caught my eye in Topshop the other day and I immediately knew that if I threw on some heels, this top would be good to Dawn go.  And it works.

Top - Topshop / Disco Pants - Ebay / Bag Zara

You can watch this outfit of the day here on youtube.

Taking Clothes Off The City Rack

Gone were the days where I used to flip through magazines to gain style inspiration.  Now, it's both street and Instagram style, which really catches my eye.  I absolutely love the fact that I can post my style, while watching a ridiculous amount of photos scroll down my Insta page.

One Instagram page which had caught my eye a while ago, was The City Rack.  They are a UK based company, which features trend setting outfits and also, outfits which you may see on Korean fashion websites.

I picked three items from the website, with an idea for a date night outfit.

Lace Insert bodycon dress / Red Oversized Clutch

I teamed the outfit up with these bad boy booties.  I love the cut out style of the boots; gives an extra twist to the shoe boot we know and love.

The outfit fits like an absolute glove!  Your man won't be able to take his eyes off you!  Great thing about the site, is that they aren't pricey at all.  Looking great while still keeping pounds in your pocket!  Yes please!

I have just uploaded my WDDIH Styles video for this outfit.  Check it here.

Zara...We Meet Again..

When I was at uni and had NO money, I absolutely loved shopping in Zara (how I could afford such back then, I have no idea).  As Zara was a Spanish brand, their pieces were very different and I loved the fact that pieces could often be a talking point.  Then came along places such as Primark and well...I got swept away in the 'cheapness'.  While I would still go into Zara, I didn't find myself really shopping there, as I had got the 'case of the Primark', aka "I can get that cheaper in Primark".

Roll on how many years and a decision to completely revamp my wardrobe and style, I have found myself going back to what I used to know and love best.  Why...hello Again Zara!

Due to being completely snowed under at work, the way that I shop is online.  But recently, I've told myself that I have to find time to live and that includes going into town and having a bit of a wander.  Contrary to popular belief, I hate shopping offline as it were.  But I've come to realise in the past few months that sometimes you cannot appreciate the quality of clothing while sitting behind your computer screen.  So I had been slowly migrating back into Zara over the past 4 months and took a little look last week.  Low and behold I was in clothes heaven!  My style is always 'done up' and Zara is one of those stores which caters to such a look.

Something which I have been on the hunt for, for agesssssss, was the perfect bag for Court.  Something classy but also, very stylish.  I had actually spied this bag during the shopping portion of my meet and greet, but didn't buy it at the time.  But we locked eyes across a clothes filled room and I knew I had to buy it this time:

 

 ZARA CITY OFFICE BAG / COMBINATION HIGH HEEL SANDAL

I also picked up these beautiful heels in the burnt orange colour.  I want to start injecting colour into my wardrobe and this is perfect:

I wore these with black disco pants and a white, peplum top for that ultimate burst of colour.  These heels are so easy and comfortable to walk in.  I will be definitely be doing an outfit of the day with them.

The bag itself has a compartment for everything!  It's amazing for bag organisation and if you'll be like me and carrying files, it's big enough to fit those in too!

All in all I am very pleased with the new additions for my revamp.  Stay tuned for how I style them!

Outfit Of The Day

 

 

 

Jumper: H&M (new collection)

Wet Look Jeggings: Boohoo.com

Shoes: Ebay

Necklace: Aurora (find them on twitter and facebook)

I love casual Friday at work. Gives me a chance to see what people really wear in the outside world.  It also gives me a chance to put my fashion heel forward and express my own self.

This week, I went to look at the Lana Del Rey collection at H&M.  While browsing, I came across the jumper above.  It's short at the front and long at the back, in keeping with the trend that is currently upon us.  I dressed it up with the spiked necklace and to give it that extra edge, I paired it with the multi buckle shoe boot.  See previous blog for details.
