Lace up sandals - ZARA

Kimono dress - ADELE FADO

Lace up sandals and sandals boots are an hot trend for next FW13. I love this style, sexy and cool, so I decided to try these ones by Zara. These are my first shoes by the Spanish king of fast-fashion. As you know if you are following me on this blog, I usually prefer to invest on accessories and shoes in particular and mix and match them with lower-cost clothing. 

My short feedback for you:

1) the buying experience was excellent: I ordered them online, chose to have them shipped to a Zara store close to me, was alerted by an sms when they were available in the store and picked them up there easily without having to go to the counter.

2) I really love their style: I'll match them with short dresses like the kimono in these pics or with skinny and maybe rolled-up jeans. 

3)their quality is fair compared to their price, so overall I'm satisfied about these sandals. Mixing luxury with less expensive shoes (in particular for fancy, very seasonal styles), could be a good strategy for a shoeaholic like me and for my wallet.. Okay, I'll try this strategy and I'll keep you updated about this new experience, even if I continue to prefer luxury shoes (their design, quality of leather and components, comfort, allure and durability are no doubt completely different than the ones of budget shoes, as their price ...). 

Do you love this lace up style? what is your experience with less expensive shoes by Zara or other fast-fashion retailers?
