The pointed toe is always in vogue and most definitely elongates the leg. Opt for a low cut or V-cut for even more leg lengthening.
Platform sole shoes and boots have really seen a resurgence at the moment and we know why....................
The V-Cut Shoe Boot offers great leg lengthening too, so whether it's Western Style or a lower block heel style it offers endless wears with dresses or trousers .
]]>Our Ballerina collection is beautifully hand crafted in Italy ,using super soft leathers and suedes. All our ballet flats are made from leather , leather lined and for the Autumn Winter collection we've added a rubber sole, which will be so much more wearable in inclement weather conditions.
So let's take a look!!
Whether dopamine dressing is your thing or you just want to try something new, pinks and purple are great colours to look at. Not only do they look great combined but work with classic black , and are particularly impactful paired with navy or denim.

Burgundy, maroon are other new colours this season but if you're reserved when it comes to colour ,an easy place to start is to accessorise with shades of pink /nude. Pink nude shades offers are universally flattering colours.

Ok so the weather has had a bit of a change in the last week but we don't want to ditch our White jeans just yet, so now is the time to pick a few key shoes for your Autumn wardrobe. And yes, the Chunky loafer will do just that. We love this look below and either our Paul Green Suede Loafer or the Gabor Patent loafer would work equally with this look .
Pair your Chunky loafers with tights and lets get elongating your legs . Patent leather looks so smart, so whether its tailored shorts or a midi skirt these Gabor chunky loafers are a great shoe for work or the weekend , rain or shine .
Are you back working in the office and on a commute and need to update your wardrobe ? As you've probably seen, wide leg trousers are a big deal right now and while you may feel you have to style them with a heel we'd argue that they look just as cool with an on trend chunky loafer .These Pedro Miralles chunky loafers have a gorgeous stud detail and even a bit of Sparkle!!!
If you're partial to a little injection of colour in your wardrobe, then these Marian Pink Metallic Chunky loafers can only brighten any Autumnal day !!
Here's the need-to-know trainers for the season ahead . Some are specific styles, some are movements, and others are general aesthetics. However, if you're the trainer obsessive I suspect you are, you'll want to make room in your wardrobe for one of them if not all all of them. Sorry about that!!!
*****
So first up is our Paul Green collection with our 5017 in White leather remaining our No.1.We've topped up on all sizes as it's still the most versatile style and colour, season after season, making it a worthy investment buy. Available in Black leather too...should you feel the urge to indulge !
WONDERS brings you their trainer this season , a cross between a retro and a sporty trainer aesthetic, and it is undoubtedly a big part of why it's proving so popular right now. It's Style name is ONE ...there must be a reason a reason. Available in two heights , and only you can choose .
Transitioning into Autumn can be tricky but monochrome is always a stylish option. You can't go wrong with a chunky trainer like the Gabor or Wonders featured below.
We love a soft Autumn palette at Fabucci and this season it is again delicate, with hints of cream, gold, tan, and beige. We're loving the warmth of these tones .
Whether it's in vogue or not at Fabucci we still love a high top trainer. Paul Green doesn't disappoint with his black leather style but we have an original from Gabor and some chunkier styles too ,so do check them out!!
]]>With this beautiful weather upon us,the inevitable Summer sandal hunt is on. If you’re looking for a smart pair for work or an occasion we advise you opt for one with a low block heel.

]]>
It’s just one of those colours that has been dominating lately, and it seems any shade goes, from Kelly to Neon.
In my own wardrobe I have to say I lean towards Kelly green simply because it suits my skin tone. I tend to wear a block of colour and keep my style all one tone but I have to say I’ve noticed myself being more daring with green this season, teaming it with different shades of pink, blue, lilac and I simply love it with denim. Used as an accent colour ,it’s admittedly bright but if you’re ready to join the green tribe scroll down to see our favourites.
Look how well our Green Suede Ballet flat sits next to our Pink Ballet Flat, a fab combination !!!
Doesn’t the Red and Orange look amazing below with a more minty green
Style your Green with pink or tan, it always looks fab
There’s an old saying that blue and green should never be seen but we absolutely adore this combination.
Isn’t this combination below gorgeous.
Don’t shy away from green with either pink or purple and you can stay neutral with nude shoes. Our HOGL Classic Boulevard Nude Stiletto are never out of stock.
Olive green or khaki can serve as a new neutral.
For a bolder look try Kelly green and a padded look .
Update your current handbag with one of our new handbag straps. Lots of colour ways and prints to choose from 19.99 |
For a softer look go for more subtle tones of green and pink in this trainer
Block heels are back and these WONDERS green don't disappoint in terms of style and comfort.
Still not ready for heels then opt for our ultra comfy wedge sandal from our Spanish brand OH MY SANDALS and you'll be oh so happy !!
By far one of the most exciting trends this SS23 has been Metallics and we’ve really embraced them at Fabucci with our new Italian label Bottega. Cast your eye on the beautiful stones on these sandals….jewels for your feet!!
]]>We’ll definitely be wearing yellow —-this Summer —-in every shade so scroll down and take a look at our style inspo on ways to wear this bright and beautiful colour!!

]]>It's perfectly fine to tan your legs and go bronzed and bare legged, we're all for it but when the Winter months creep in, well, if we're honest we get a bit lazy and when those temperatures drop, wearing tights is a no brainer.
Now if you haven't heard of Falke tights then you're missing out on a great secret. We've been carrying the brand for the last 15 years and when we say they're our fail safe leg saviours we mean it. Grazia magazine hailed Falke's Shelina range, especially our toeless tights a must have essential. With a shimmer finish these tights are "Serious makeup for legs". They're available in tights and toeless tights. The toeless tights are perfect for sandals and peep toe shoes and only need a swish brush of bronzer over your bare toes to complete the look and no mess with tan.

They come in two shades Brasil for the lighter skin tones and sun for that sun kissed look .€15 available instore and online .Size S/M to L.
]]>Having spent the last two years in flats or trainers we're all out of practice walking in highheels so now your feet deserve something new.If you cant wear a pair of higheels at this time of year, then when can you?
This Saturday 12th November Fabucci will feature on Virginmedia Weekend AM with Stylist Laura Jordan @stylesavvy_ie.
Laura will style some dressy sandals, highheels and occasion shoes with this seasons must have trouser suit.
First up in dressy sandals we're embracing the platform with these dressy sandals from Marian in a black sparkle .With lots of straps, you'll feel secure in these despite the height and the fact that they are leather lined means no burning sensations.
Next up we're adding a pop of colour .Laura has picked a red trouser suit so we decided to pair it with these EMIS occasion shoes. Perhaps you've noticed bold and bright colours are a key look for AW22 so this is why we adore these EMIS Two tone occasion shoes. And by the way there is a matching envelope clutch to finish the look !!!
Continuing with colour we've decide to umph up a simple black trouser suit with our Marian Pink suede highheels.
and wait until you see the matching bag !!!
Now we do love a little sparkle this time of year so up next with a fabulous blue trouser suit we've paired our Marian Platform peep toe in silver sparkle .
Lastly when it comes to the ultimate party shoe, metallic is always a winner. We've chosen these EMIS Gold stud highheels .Whether it's the Christmas party or not these will look amazing with jeans too on a weekend night out.
So let's get choosing what you're going to wear and get your feet back in those heels....you know you'll feel a million dollars when you've added those extra inches to you legs .
]]>
Tip No.1. Make a list of everything that's happening over the weekend...cosy night in, hiking, maybe a concert, dinner reservations casual or fine dining and you'll know what you need. Check the weather forecast as near to the date as possible.
Tip No.2. Plan your wardrobe around 2 colours eg. black and white so you have a cohesive colour palette that you can mix and match. Include layering pieces for the fluctuating weather .
Tip No.3. Trainers are a must. You can team these with dresses
and create a casual or dressy day look that's effortlessly stylish. You know trainers will work with jeans so make them work hard for you.
Tip No.4.
Like salt and pepper, jeans and boots are a obvious combination together but try bringing that one pair that will work with dresses or jeans. Why not try this AW22 trend with a lug sole or trek sole in a pastel shade.
Tip No.5.
If it's that romantic weekend away then you'll need that one pair of heels that will take you anywhere and the stiletto is still the firm favourite. Opt for black or nude and they'll take you anywhere season after season.
]]>
If there is one thing that gives a girl an instant confidence boost it's an extra bit of height....and oh how we've forgotten how to wear heels!!!
Enter the platform sole... a style that adds those extra inches without sacrificing comfort or style.
ODETTE featured here by MARCO MOREO ticks a lot of boxes. In a super soft nappa leather, it comes on a 3 inch block heel with an inch platform sole making it a great everyday boot. Fitting generously we recommend taking a half size down .€265
Now if you're a fan of our MARIAN brand then you'll know this style of boot. We order the ankle version every year and its always a sell out so this year we've opted for the knee version as per the photo here €189.99 (Click photo for more details) and the ankle version is to follow soon so stay posted.
Take a look at this chunky soled style by WONDERS. Super lightweight with a gel insole, these are style & comfort personified. These are your daytime run around boot €155 Click photo for more details.
The best platform boots are boots you can rock all day, everyday. They add a fashion-forward edge to any look, in any season — and depending on what you pair them with, they can easily be dressed up or down. These are another style from WONDERS shoes with a centre zip which elongates the leg ,exactly what's needed if wearing with skirts or dresses.€160
If you're on the lookout for a neutral dressy pair then these MARIAN stone suede will work tirelessly for you. Wear with a bare leg (flesh coloured tights a necessity in colder weather) and get more wear from your Summer dresses by pairing up with these .€160
Whether you’ve been wearing platforms since the ’90s or you’re just now dipping your toes (literally) into the trend, there’s something for everyone on this list and we've lots more arrivals to come so do stay posted .
]]>You’ve probably noticed that loafers have made a huge comeback and are everywhere right now. The loafer is that one shoe that is most definitely a true trans-seasonal shoe that can be styled in a multitude of ways. They offer comfort and style which is needed so much now with the return to the office and are a welcome change to trainers. The classic loafer has evolved over the last few seasons and has been restyled again by many designers for AW22.
During August through to September you can wear them with cropped trousers or jeans or even with a tanned leg and a pleated skirt and look effortlessly chic. Come October wear them with socks and tailored trousers or tights and shift dresses, the styling options are endless.
Take a look at this chunky soled style by WONDERS. Super lightweight with a gel insole, these are style & comfort personified. Wear with your cropped trousers now & when it gets cooler with socks and a wide tailored trouser.
For that block heeled trend we suggest Marco Moreo’s latest loafer that comes in wine and navy patent. We're loving the square toe and the tonal chunky buckle.
If you prefer a more dressy or pointed loafer then GABOR has a divine style in navy or black suede.
While these designers have reimagined the loafer, the classic style has never gone out of fashion. PAUL GREENS Daphne Camel leather loafer crafted in the softest leather is such a trans seasonal colour and style.
This PAUL GREEN classic loafer style comes in rose pink and navy suede too.
Another favourite brand at Fabucci is UNISA with it's more structured loafer Daimiel .This is another style option and comes in black and navy suede too .
Now if you prefer a leather finish?
WONDERS shoes have given us the most divine chestnut leather loafer this season ......... comes in black too!!
If you’re looking to invest in a pair of loafers this season, whatever your style you’ve come to the best place !!

Then we had numerous occasions where a pop of colour just worked with these Marian Magenta Heels

We can't ignore the classics and thankfully HOGL stayed true to form and continued to deliver our Classic Boulevard 90 stiletto in nude ,navy and black This is one shoe that will never date and that's for sure!!!
Now if you're still on the lookout for that pair of heels whether its platform or stiletto or a mid heel we've deliveries weekly right through the Summer with matching bags too .
These just arrived today from Peter Kaiser and we're loving this Autumnal Colour.

The Power of the Nude Shoe.
The obvious reason why we wear heels is to make us look taller. Even though a little boost in height is good, elongated legs are even better. A nude shoe does just that therefore:
Tip 1. Choose a nude that matches your skin tone .
Tip 2. Pointy toe nudes are always better and they give more lengthening effect.
Kate Middleton is just one of the names that springs to mind when talking all things nude shoes.
Why Nude shoes?
They go with almost everything, from a colour block ensemble to Summer brights.
Why the matching Nude bag?
Tip 3.
It completes the look and yes maybe in a classical way but you'll never have to worry about matching the colour of your ensemble.
Our HOGL Nude leather court ERA is one of our choicest styles.This wonderfully soft leather stiletto will work tirelessly in your wardrobe season after season . Classic, timeless and elegant, they compliment any feminine wardrobe.
The matching leather clutch bag is available to order separately.
If you prefer a more almond shape toe then GABOR nude patent court Splendid is a great option. On a 90 mm heel with a 15 mm platform sole ,Splendid gives you great height with the bonus of the cushioning of the platform.
Unisa's nude patent court is another great style on a 90 mm heel. It has more a pinkish hue than the Gabor or Hogl so which you choose really depends on your skin tone.
Kim Kardashian is the queen of nude and even though she is quite a short woman, she looks long and lean in her nudes.
As always our heel advice is to go for comfort at your heel level and we hope these tips help you in your choice.
]]>Lets take the basic white trainer, they work so well with everything and they're not going away. We've two classic styles that we plan on keeping in stock ,one is a classic white leather - Gabor €110
And the second the leather platform sole from PAUL GREN €175
Trainers are to jeans as Nutella is to pancakes, they look good together but herein lies a problem not every pair of trainers goes with every cut of jeans. Cropped, skinny , tapered, straight or wide leg .This detail will automatically determine the trainer style to wear.
For those of you who prefer a skinny or tapered jean we suggest one of this seasons high tops.
Paul Green Black leather high top or in taupe nubuck if you prefer softer tones
For that cropped or tapered in black or this seasons colour pops we suggest adding a little height with a platform sole or wedge. Carmela's black leather trainer or Wonders chunky black trainer.
If you prefer a straight leg jean and a more classical look like our French lady counterparts ,then we gravitate to the trainer that's tonal, navy with blue jeans.
Fashionistas love these shoes, and the style has become a regular part of their summertime uniform. The shoes are versatile, oh so chic, and actually very comfortable, too.
Above : MARCO MOREO Black Biker Boot WENDY €245
If you're all about a pair of boots that will last you season after season you can't go wrong with the classic biker look. Throw on with your jeans or bring those Summer floral dresses into Autumn with thick tights & any of these styles .They'll wow everyone AND stand the test of time too !!
JABANO by Unisa shoes €159.99 ticks all the on trend boxes with its biker boot design and the puff or quilting trend on the cuff. The puff trend is popping up all over Instagram so it's probably time to embrace it. Unisa do a very subtle take on it with Jabano and we love it.
WONDERS Biker Boot €195 is made from the finest Spanish leather.
They've got both style and attitude. Their substantial heel and sole give them that true biker look. They're pleasingly chunky and their buckle detailing gives them even a tough yet stylish appeal.
MARIAN Black studded biker boot €189.99

You can always rely on a classic loafer in your capsule wardrobe. Think Paris in the Spring. Can you visualise all the Parisians strolling around in their jeans, classic white shirt, loafers and a blazer or trench coat.
Below we've paired our Gabor navy suede loafer with our frayed denims to create that smart casual look
If you're looking to inject some freshness to your look ,one of the simplest ways is to invest in a white pair of loafers. Below we've paired our Wonders loafer with some pink cropped cords and we think they look pretty good.
With lighter wash denims popular at the moment a pair of white loafers could look very sleek. Go for a classic white tee or a stripy Breton top to complete y0ur look.
Early March will see our Hogl loafers arriving. These have to be your investment buy. Arriving in classic black and navy leather you won't want to miss them !!
A tan loafer is a fail safe way to infuse an extra touch of style to your look.Gabor gives us two option in their super soft all suede look or their two toned white and tan but you gotta choose which because each are undeniably chic.
]]>The White Trainer :
The beauty of a bright white trainer is that it boasts versatility and are perennially chic.Wear with midi dresses, tailored pants or go for the simple jeans-and-tee approach.
The platform/flatform trainer :
Who doesn't love to walk around with added height? A platform or flatform trainer is one of the best ways to elevate your look while still maintaining a element of style and comfort .
Italian brand Superga deliver on the classics with their white canvas flatform trainer/sneaker so if ever you wanted to make your trainer splurge more pocket friendly buying them in pristine white is the key.These ones are even machine washable, what more could you want !!!
Now if you're a classic kinda girl these leather Superga's are the ones.We can't think of an outfit they wouldn't go with even Kate Middleton can't go without these.
If you like your chunky trainer Marco Moreo has given us a winner this season, chunky & funky Marco Moreo white & rose gold trainer. We're loving the subtle snakeprint touch on these SELECTED FEMME Classics .With a built in arch support you'll be in these all day long & not even know it.
Gosh is so hard to choose !!
]]>1.Style your chunky trainers with flimsy pretty dresses, easy breezey and you'll feel so comfy too. SHOP these beauties from MARCO MOREO
2. Flatform sneakers are the minimalist girl's answer to "dad" trainers. Paired-back but by no means boring, this style will pair perfectly with your new midi dresses. They're a great way to add height when those midi's are a bit long.Change up your laces to coloured or ribbon to add that bit of femininity.
3. Are you obsessed about how to get the sneaker look right? Create it with a sneaker that has a mix of colours & tie this in with the colours in your wardrobe and you'll get more functionality.
4.Scared off by the chunky trainer trend? Opt for a classic plimsole or trainer like this style from Italian brand SUPERGA SHOP
5.We think a pair of white leather trainers with a little bit of gold or silver trainers will be the best investment you make all year. Why? Well, they do everything white trainers can do, and more. Comfort is still assured, but so is an effortless injection of razzle-dazzle guaranteed to brighten up your day.
]]>Let’s be honest. All we’re wearing at the moment are slippers .They even adopted a new name for themselves on the runway as “inside shoes” and have become an important part of our daily style…why not have pretty feet all day long.
So we thought if we’re going to wear slippers let's get some pretty cute ones. We discovered Laines of London on our buying trip last year and lets say their slippers are everything we imagined, soft, fluffy, pretty and just that little bit of sparkle we all love with their trims. Hope they're to your liking because we sure like them :)
