Fashion lovers, rejoice! Storm Keating has announced that she is launching a new boot range, and they actually look quite slick.

The Aussie beauty took to Insatgram to share the news, telling her followers that she is partnering up with luxury bootmaker Stivaleria Cavallin.

"Proud to announce the launch of my new range if boots. A collaboration with #StivaleriaCavallin – not only the masters of luxury footwear but also a @positiveluxury brand #Brands YouCanTrust," she captioned the snap.

The TV producer is wearing her new boots in the picture – navy, suede and leather thigh high boots – and we want them already.

She also let her fans know that more details are coming soon, and we can't wait to see the styles in store.

If you're a fashion gal or a style stealer, then get ready for your wallet to be emptied because & Other Stories is coming to Dublin.

The mega-fashion brand is opening up its first ever Irish store, and they're certainly going all out with it.

The new shop will have THREE floors full of fashion and accessories which will give us shoppers the ultimate shopping experience.

The brand is known for its minimal style, sharp cuts and being bang on trend, so the purse-friendly store will be welcomed to Grafton Street.

Samuel Fernstrom, the managing director of & Other Stories said he's looking forward for the brand to "come alive" in Dublin. 

“We’re very happy to have found a great location right in the heart of Dublin. We look forward to seeing our first-ever Irish store come alive,” he said.

The store already has 22 shops all around the world, so we can't wait until the launch this Autumn.

This week we got a tour inside Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian's homes – and everyone went WILD over Khloe's unreal shoe closet.

But, Blake Lively has now given us a glimpse of her own shoe closet, and all we can say is wow.

She shared the jealousy-inducing closet on Instagram last night to show off a new item gifted to her by a friend – an accessory tray with Vogue's Anna Wintour.

Blake joked about the item (that we all wish we had) by saying, "Saint of Fashion to watch over my style choices… Always. No pressure."

Now, one thing that Blake Lively has is style, and somehow she always seems to get it right. 

All we can say is Serena Van Der Woodson would be proud.

Pippa O'Connor wasn't voted VIP's Most Stylish Woman 2015 for nothing, you know.

The model and expectant mum took to Instagram this morning to show off a very stylish addition to her home décor – an entire wall dedicated to her shoe collection.

"Boy did good," she wrote, thanking her husband Brian Ormond for her new #shoewall:

"Just need a few more walls though."

Is it bad that our own shoe collection would probably fit on one of those shelves and there would still be room to spare?

As for dressing her bump in her usual super-stylish manner, Pippa revealed recently that she was finding maternity style a little simpler with baby number two.

"Bump-wise I definitely feel a bit neater this time," she said, just four months from her due date.

And even after her second child arrives – a baby brother or sister for two-year-old Ollie – Pippa says she won't be relaxing too much in the style stakes.

"I’m lucky, I don’t need to get up and  look presentable in an office," she told the Irish Examiner.

"If I want to say at home in my pajamas for a month, then I can do that but I probably won’t disappear for too long."

It's only the first week of January, but Christmas already feels like an oh-so distant memory.

You're back to work, there are no more festive films on the telly, and you've put on half a stone in pure chocolate. Ideal.

There's no worse feeling than trying to slip into the leather skirt that looked downright HAWT pre-December 25, only to find it's now just a tad too snug.

This too shall pass, but until then, we have some simple style fixes that mean you can still look and feel your best – without sending your bank balance into oblivion.

1. Choose a cover-up
Yes, it would be handy if you were allowed to head to the office in the fleecy onesie you've been wearing all weekend, but sadly that's  not an option. Instead, choose a stylish cover-up that you can get cosy in while still looking totally work-appropriate.

Sleeveless Cape, €22 (was €45)

2. Skim those curves
The thought of getting dressed up might put the fear of God in you right now, but with the right dress you'll be raring to go in no time. This gorgeous coral option will not only liven-up dull post-Christmas skin, but it has a comfy and oh-so flattering fit.

Zip Feature Dress, €22 (was €45)

3. Choose a wrap style
Draw attention to your neck and décolletage with a top that easily hides any selection box-induced bloating. Plus, how gorgeous is that vibrant magenta shade?

Cross Front Top, €22 (was €45)

All of the above styles are available from Irish-owned site CozeDiRoze, and with a sale now on, you're bound to find a piece to suit your look that won't break that bank.

2015 isn't even over yet but that doesn't stop us thinking about our 2016 wardrobe. 

A new year with new clothes makes everything better, right?

Well, River Island's new work wear collection is the best yet and you will certainly be #onpoint in the office come January. 

The Jumpsuit

No time in the morning to whip together an outfit for work? Then fear not, because this jumpsuit will help you out in every situation. Wear it with your biker boots and scarf for a casual look or if you have an important meeting, some black heels and a smart blazer will do the job.

Brown Smart Culotte Jumpsuit, €75

 

The Shirt Dress

Like the jumpsuit, the shirt dress will come in so handy. Wear it like a dress with thigh high boots or wear it open over a pair of jeans. Either way, you'll be the envy of all your co-workers when you rock into work with it on. 

Light Blue Wrap Shirt dress, €73

 

The Bag

Is your bag a bit tattered and tired? This chic taupe bag will solve all your problems. It will look as chic as ever sitting on your shoulder and will fit all of your bits and bobs that you take to work. 

Cream Crossbody Bag, €75

 

The Cape

2016 will be a time for change, and that means brightening up your look. Most of us head into work or college everyday in black, black or black, so turn it 360* for the new year with this crisp white cape. It's the stuff of dreams. 

Cream Smart Cape, €87

 

The Coat

We have fallen in love with this coat! Grey is THE colour for 2016 so there's no doubt you'll get major style points for wearing it. And have you seen how warm and cosy it looks?! 

Jersey Belted Trench Coat, €100

A year ago a partnership between Beyonce and Topshop was announced, and we all got a bit excited.

Today it has been confirmed that the joint sports and streetwear venture will launch in April 2016. 

Queen B and the high street giant have created Parkwood Topshop Athletic Ltd. The label is set to produce clothing, footwear and accessories across dance, fitness and sports categories, with collections aiming to be stylish and functional, offering technical performance.

According to WWD, the label for:

“Women who go to yoga or the health club, as well as those who just want to look as if they do”. 

YES!

This is Topshop’s first shared venture into the athleisure world, and Beyonce’s first partnership with the label. It is not her first venture into fashion however, Bey already owns a clothing brand called House of Deron.

Sir Philip Green said about the partnership: "We have been looking at this category as fashion inspired fitness develops, and know that this is right in our customers' heartland.  

"Creating a partnership with Beyoncé, one of the most hard-working and talented people in the world, who spends many hours of her life dancing, rehearsing and training is a unique opportunity to develop this category." 

The range will reportedly be sold in 20 counties and the venture will be part of the Arcadia group, which also owns Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge chains.

It might just a little bit early to say it- but we really cannot wait for 2016!

Over the weekend, for perhaps the first time in the history of the Internet (although not Irish internet) meteorologist fashion took over everything.

One woman posted an Amazon link to an inexpensive, brightly coloured dress in a Facebook group for female TV meteorologists about a month ago. Yes, these types of Facebook groups exist… now that we know it is all we can think about.

Is Jean a member?  

Since then, weather broadcasters all over the US have been buying this magical dress. Now, meteorologists on Twitter are talking about the Sisterhood of the Travelling Dress.

The dress costs around €20 on Amazon and €57 straight from the vendor, Homeyee, a China-based the e-commerce site whose website is full of “lorem ipsum” text and some interesting translations.

Meteorologists are hungry for fashion recommendations, apparently. 

Their profession require clothes that are comfortable enough to move around in and fancy enough to be seen wearing on the telly. Which is fair enough really when you think of how many times you have heard people pass comment on ‘that one from the weather’s’ outfit of the day.

“Sometimes what to wear is biggest stress of my job,” the Weather Channel’s Jen Carfagno told Slate. “Don't look too old, or too young. Too tight will make you look like ready for the dance club.” 

“Too baggy will make you look frumpy. Black every day is boring. Patterns are tough with the lights and camera.

"Staying wrinkle-free is tough. How many styles of red dresses are there anyway?” 

We are exhausted just thinking about it, to be honest.

The appeal of this dress is not just the flattering cut that many meteorologists are raving about – it also have the perfect neckline for pinning a mic on to. 

Practical, flattering and cheap!

The holy trinity of dresses basically. We understand the internet obsession now. When can we get one?

When the temperatures drop the winter seems to have well and truly grabbed us by the frigid hands, then all we want are warm and cosy outfits.

Honestly, nothing beats the cosy allure of a chunky hand-knit scarf. Or indeed a blanket-scarf? 

A ridiculously oversized cloud of fluff that is made using bare hands in place of knitting needles seems like it would do the trick. Well, luckily for all of you knitwear lovers out there, the ultimate in winter accessories has been found.

Kiev Ukraine–based Anna Marinenko may not have actually invented the chunky-knit blanket, but her Instagram-worthy creations, made under the name Ohhio, were inspired by the idea of giant wearable creations. 

The designer says in a press release that she found herself with a large amount of gigantically thick wool last year. She had the burning desire to create something, but alas she didn’t have a pair of knitting needles quite large enough to take on the task.

So she started knitting with her bare hands. The results were a gigantic 3-inch-thick stitch that has pushed the concept of oversized knit to the extreme. She says the literally handmade designs, made from fine 100 percent Merino wool, are warm in winter and lightweight enough to keep around in summer.

Her work is available on Etsy, where she offers blankets in a range of sizes colors. She also takes custom orders AND sells a range of chunky-knit pet beds. We are tempted because we know Fido appreciates a good chunky knit when the weather gets chilly. 

She also sells comically gigantic wooden knitting needles and balls of super-thick yarn for people who feel like taking on the mega knit challenge. 

She has launched an already funded Kickstarter campaign to expand the brand. She is currently offering blankets and massive chunky neck scarves.

We will take all of them, please.

How are we supposed to function in life knowing that there are kids a quarter of our age that dress ten times better than us? 

Though it does help that these kids have famous parents to fund and style their fashion furore, we are struggling to come to terms with this miserable truth. 

When North West stepped out this week in a sleeveless roll neck jumper, black ripped jeans, a pair of Converse and a cute purse slung expertly on her elbow, we almost had a bit of a wardrobe meltdown. 

After a minor nervous breakdown there was only one thing to do. Chart the famous little ones who are officially way better dressed than us, of course. 
 

1) Suri Cruise

Suri seems to have a pair of ballet pumps for all occasions and a serious amount of perfect girly dresses and skirts.

Oh and don't forget the coats to DIE for. 

2) The Beckham kids

There is simply no way of choosing the best dressed Beckham kid because they all look fabulous 100% of the time. We do have a soft spot for Romeo and his stellar trench coat collection though.

We also have a lot of time for poor aul Harper who has to contend with a serious amount of testosterone and still looks fabulous. 

3) Prince George 

Though not everyone might be a fan of George's royalty -appropriate attire, we think he pulls off preppy to perfection. 

And those cheeks! 
 

4) Blue Ivy Carter

When your mam happens to be Queen Bey, there is zero chance of you ever looking anything less than perfect.

We loves Blue's penchant for leather jackets over girly dresses. Pint-sized perfection. 
 

5) Landon and Alabama Barker 

With Blink 182's Travis Barket as their dad, these two came out of the womb looking like rock stars. Alabama, 9, was sporting pink hair before it was a thing and Landon is approximately 150% cooler than we will ever be. 

6) The Jolie- Pitt kids

We all know that the Jolie-Pitt kids can dress whatever way they like. Maybe that is why they always look awesome. 

We particularly enjoy Shiloh and Zahara who are both always killing it. 

7) Kingston, Apollo and Zuma Rossdale 

Gwne Stefani's sons have surfer dude style down to a T, and they even make casts look cool.
 

8) Mason Disick 

Last but not least, it's our fave little man and perhaps our favourite of the Kardashian offspring, Mason. 

How does he always look so dapper?

The Seventies is officially the decade of 2015. Apart from the onslaught of flared trousers, suede and paisley, the most covetable wardrobe items of season tend to come with a little bit of fringing.

Whether the fringe is on your boots, your bag, your skirt or your jacket, it doesn’t matter once it’s on you (though perhaps not all at once). 

But how can you make sure you get fringe right without looking like you just walked off the set of Back To The Future 3? Well, we got you covered, babes.

 

1) The Fringed Jacket

New Look Faux Leather Tassel Jacket, €44.99
Penneys Faux Suede Fringe Jacket, €30

Ah, the fringed short jacket. This is the perfect way to finish off a stylish, casual look.

Whether thrown over a pair of distressed jeans like the lovely Cheryl or used to punk up a daytime skater dress, you simply need one in your wardrobe.

 

2) The Fringed Bag

Penneys Tassel Backpack, €40 
Topshop Leather Fringe Suede Clutch, €42 

Use a fringed bag to add some messy texture to an outfit or make like the lovely Olivia and use it to pick up on the fringed detailing in your outfit.

While a fringe skirt, jacket AND bag may be a step to far, a small clutch mag is the ideal accompaniment to your fringe statement piece. 

 

3) The Fringed Heel

River Island Tan Suede Fringe Boots, €105
New Look Burgundy Fringed Heel Sandals, €44.99

The delectable fringe heel has been doing the rounds for a few months now since hitting the high street stores and we are definitely not over it yet. 

Use your fringey footwear to add instant fashion kudos to any outfit, day to night. 

 

4) The Fringed Skirt

Topshop Fringed Suedette Skirt by Glamourous, on sale €16
La Redoute Fringe Mini Skirt, €25.99, laredoute.com

From the fringe-ified mini to the elongated fringed skirt, there is countless options when it comes to dressing your bottom half. 

Pair a fringe mini with a slouchy tee and trainers for effortless daytime cool or go for a cropped bralet and strappy heels for nighttime magic. 

 

5) The Fringed Dress 

Miss Selfridge Tassel Dress, €200
M&S Black Fringe Dress by Twiggy, €80

One way to really make a statement at the office Christmas party is to invest in the perfect fringe dress. 

Not only will you look striking from the moment you enter, there is endless fun to be had from twirling your fringe around a dancefloor.
