Fashion retailer Zara, is known to provide high-end style at high-street prices and shoppers are going crazy for their latest offering.

The popular store have taken inspiration from Dolce & Gabbana for their new Printed Slingback Mid Heel Shoes, and they're quickly becoming this season's must-have item.

Eagle-eyed shoppers have noticed that the sling-backs bare a striking resemblance to Dolce & Gabbana's Printed Varnish Pumps.

The shoes are almost identical in style and shape, with just slightly different floral prints setting them apart.

Well, that and the price.

Dolce & Gabbana's designer pair will set you back hefty €625, while the knock-off version comes in at a modest €49.95 in comparison.

By our calculations €625 would get you 13 pairs of Zara's low-budget alternative – or y'know, pay your rent for the month.

Love it or hate it, there was one fashion item that was seen on everyone and their mother last summer.

That Zara coat is back in store, and fans of the garment are more than excited.

Coat €69.95

The "Frayed Printed Coat," other wise dubbed as "that coat" is so popular that it even has an Instagram dedicated to its oh so fashionable existence. 

The account, which has over 8,000 followers, documents the adventures of the coat all over the UK, posting images of bloggers wearing it and even mere mortals donning the garment in the wild. 

The account keeps fans of the coat up to date on when it is in store, and once you are aware of the existence of the coat, you can never un-see it.

 Prepare to spot it on the Luas, in St Stephens' Green on a sunny day and all over Grafton Street. 

That coat now also has an equally as stylish sister which comes in red rather than the classic navy. 

Coat €69.95

We love both styles, and the thought of owning something as ionic has us very excited. 

We're sure this new drop of coats will sell out as quickly as the first.

We couldn't think of anything more glorious than this store.

According to WWD, Zara is set to open its biggest store yet, which will span over 65,000 square feet.

It will hold all the usuals; women's wear, men's wear, children's wear and accessories – but at an astronomical level.

As well as that, the new store will reportedly have the latest in shopping technology too.

So, you can expect to see self-service checkouts, 'smart' dressing rooms and mobile payments.

The shopping-lover's dream is based in Madrid's financial district, Paseo de la Castellan, and the glass-front building will also double-up as an office block.

Well, we know where we're going on our holliers…

It's fair to say that we all spend a fair amount of time and money in Zara.

It's one of our favourite clothing stores and always seems to hit the nail on the head when it comes to trends.

However, now that we know what the CEO of the company makes on a monthly basis, we may start to keep a bit of the moola for ourselves.

Amancio Ortega, who owns other brands as well, such as Pull & Bear, Bershka and Massimo Dutti, has been placed fourth on the Forbes 2017 list of Billionaires.

Ready for your jaw to drop? Amancio is worth $74.1billion (€68.7b).

According to Forbes, he "typically earns more than $400m (€370.8m) in dividends a year."

If you break it all down, he takes home $1,095,890 (€1,015,982) a day or $761 (€705) a minute.

Yep. Mind. Blown.

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

Size inclusivity has come along leaps and bounds in the fashion industry in recent years, but sometimes fashion houses don't quite get it right.

One particular Zara ad is going viral this week, as people are outraged at their definition of curves.

While there is no wrong way to have curves, Today FM presenter Muireann O'Connell snapped a picture of two very slim models in a new Zara ad, posing under the caption"Love Your Curves," and people are not happy. 

The tweet has since gone viral, with over 23,000 likes and 12,000 retweets. 

The models are posing for the brand's Curve denim jeans, but many people are speaking out as they feel that the suggestion that the featured models are curvy could be damaging. 

People are also baffled as to how the brand could consider the women as curvacious. 

"I'd have a word with your advertising department…..curves?…..where?…" said one. 

However, not everyone agrees that the outcry is justified, and feel that it is sizeist against slim women.

"Why is it OK for you to denigrate slim girls? Everyone has curves. Body shaming of slim girls appears to be perfectly fine, eh?" said one, who also pointed out that her daughter has been teased for being slim. 

"Isn't it possible that Zara is trying to help girls who see themselves as "sticks" to realise that they too have curves?" said another

Zara has yet to comment on the campaign.

Let's all admit it; we're obsessed with Zara.

From its casual, grungy athleisure wear to its sophisticated and pretty formal wear, we can never get enough of the high street maven.

But, if you feel like you're going into Zara over-load, here are five other online stores that rock the same vibe, and ship to Ireland.

You won't look back after you take a gander through these stores:

We love finding new and unknown (to us) labels – especially when they're gorgeous and affordable.

So, when we came across Charles and Keith, we couldn't help but share it with you.

The Singaporean label is like Zara for accessories; extremely on trend, great price points and ooze sophisticated glam.

And don't let the fact that it's from Singapore put you off, because the label delivers to Ireland with no fuss.

Here's a few of our fave pieces from the Charles and Keith collection:

Ever wonder where all that Zara merchandise goes when it doesn't sell? Not really? Yeah, us too.

But now that we've found out where it actually goes, we need it in our lives.

Harper's Bazaar has made every Zara-lover rejoice by finding out that all unsold merchandise goes to an outlet store called Lefties. Shneaky.

It was initially created in 1993, in Spain, (Zara's birthland) as a way to sell leftover stock, but it has grown to house its own collection of clothes, too.

And in recent months, a website for the outlet store has even cropped up.

At first, the chain was only set up in Spain but more recently has expanded to Mexico, Portugal, Russia and Qatar.

However, HB did note that Lefties is revamping all of its stores, its website, and has also hired a new fashion director, so the whispers on the street say that it's looking to expand to more countries.

IMAGINE a Zara outlet, where the prices are slashed to one-third of the original? Hell yes.

There are few things more exciting than the January sales, and the prospect of snapping up a bargain is too good to resist.

However, we've officially reached our limit with the sales frenzy, and we're ready to move on to the new season of style.

Our January budgets are still stretched pretty tight, so we're looking forward to the end of the month when the real shopping can begin. 

Mini backpack, €39.95, Frilled shirt €39.95

High street hot spot Zara has just launched their new collection, and, in typical Zara style, it's a medley of on trend accessories and work-to-bar style staples.

Zara hasn't ventured too far out of it's preferred minimalist colour scheme, omitting the typical punchy and proud summer shades in favour of muted creams and greys.

 Waxed jeans €39.95, Faux fur bag €39.95

The collection seems to be well acquainted with the phrase "the devil's in the details," as the muted hues play homage to details like frilled sleeves, lace trim and intricate embroidery. 

Adopting some of the catwalks biggest trends, the high street store is serving up some waxed, leather look jeans, perfect for channelling Kate Moss cool. 

Clash textures with a faux fur cross body bag for some statement style. 

 Suede biker jacket €59.95, Frilled dress €49.95

Biker jackets are the perfect remedy to a winter of heavy boyfriend coats and puffa jackets. 

The easy, throw-on-with-anything piece might be new season, but it's still a steal at €59.95. 

 Jumper €29.95, Embroidered boots €69.95

Green is officially Pantone's colour of 2017, so what better way to jump into a new year of resolutely impeccable style choices than with an evergreen, oversized jumper.

Embroidery is still going strong, after being carried into this season stitched on everything from boots, bags and shirt lapels. 

Leather skirt €29.95, Embroidered shirt €39.95

This leather and lace skirt is a true trophy piece. Balance out the edgy look with a slouchy jumper and tights, or pay homage to the 80s with a power blouse.

Embroidered shirts are still going strong, and adding a frill detail gives a folk touch that can soften up even the harshest of leather trousers and distressed jeans. 

The end of the month can't come quickly enough!
