Guys, meet Orion.
Orion, meet the guys.
Great, now that you are all acquainted, let me show you how these little shoes, from the amazing team at Ziera, can help make you an unstoppable force in your own life!
So, remember when I found The Best Shoes Ever? The Toni Slides? The shoes I literally wore every second day of Summer? Well I’ve found the Winter version for you too!
They are same, same but different. They are;
Silver √
Stylish √
Comfy As √
Good for your feet √
What more could you want in a shoe right?
We all have so much on our plates these days, so we need clothes that make it easy for us to power on through the day.
For over 70 years Ziera has designed with one mission in mind: “to empower and support women, by making them feel and look great every step of their day”. Ziera’s new ‘Be Unstoppable’ campaign celebrates women doing great things, whether that is being an amazing mum, running your own business, being a kick-ass friend, doing great things in the community or just being the incredible woman that you are.
Sound like someone you know?
Why not nominate them in Ziera’s Unstoppable campaign and they could win$2,500 + 5 pairs of shoes to give them a helping hand towards achieving great things. HEAD HERE TO ADD YOUR NOMINATION
You can nominate as many unstoppable woman as you like. Each time you nominate, you’ll go into the draw to win one of 100 pairs of shoes, one for you and one for the person you nominate.
So now that you’ve thought of someone else who is unstoppable (besides you!), with help from Ziera, and their amazing Orion shoes, I wanted to show YOU three outfits that are stylish, comfy and can help you look and feel unstoppable no matter what you are doing!
Here they are!
LOOK #1: The Mum Uniform
So I joke that I now wear a “mum uniform”, but I TOTALLY get it! You want to wake up, put something on that is comfy and functional, but you still want to be able to leave the house at a moments notice looking and feeling amazing (well, “a moment” is now more like 20 minutes right? “Where is the nappy bag? Have you got her bottle? etc etc).
You can run around all day long, with the knowledge that your feet will be comfortable and supported (check out Ziera’s great Your Feet Your Fit system, that allows you to change the fit of the shoe to suit your foot).
Good old jeans and a funky top is the standard. But look what happens when you add these cool, comfy brogues to the mix…..

LOOK #2: Pretty Feminine
When you think about styling brogues, you usually would think to pair them back with pants, but these stylish silver ones are great with a feminine dress on the days where you need to head to a meeting and OWN it, or run around the office Getting. Shit. Done.
You can be lady-like AND unstoppable in these shoes, and I LOVE that about them!

LOOK #3: Fun and Funky
I definitely feel unstoppable in this outfit! It’s like business on top, and a party on the bottom! This outfit can take you from the playground to the boardroom and everywhere in-between.
One of the keys to dressing like you are unstoppable, is to make sure it’s easy. A pair of relaxed, or draped pants are easy just to throw on, usually with no ironing required. The blazer adds that element of sharpness to the look, and the shoes, once again, are great for almost anything that your day can throw at you!

Sometimes people can dismiss the effect clothing can have on your day, but if you don’t look or feel your best, you actually can spend precious energy thinking about it!
How many times have you “just thrown on your daggies” and then run into a teacher at school, or didn’t think you were going to see that important client at work so worn some grotty old shoes that really need replacing?
I’m SUCH an advocate that comfort and style can go together, and can be EASY to do! Ziera make it even easier by creating shoes that pretty much do the job for you – I’ve just added the outfits on top to give you some inspiration.
Being a woman is a tough gig, and we are ALL unstoppable in our own way – make sure you own it, and take the time to pat yourself on the back every now and then (all whilst wearing good shoes right?)

I would be very tempted to choose the Lexi. 4 Days a week, i’m at work – off to meetings with suppliers, agencies and the like. The Lexi looks like a stylish and comfy “all rounder” for the office! They look versatile enough to wear with dress pants and dresses. Then, on my 3 days a week mum life, I would definitely rock around the cafe/shops/park in them with jeans! I like the hint of white in the sole too.
I do have to say the Orion also tempts me, as I used to have a similar pair about 10 years ago that I LOVED and sent to the grave as I wore them so much. So if I was to win, i’d probably have to “top up” with an extra pair of shoes. AND the Duo and the Zorro are also on my want list, so may be a very expensive exercise . . . . . . “But hubby, I got one pair for free so it was actually saving money!” Oops 🙂
I think the Duo would be pretty cool addition to have in my shoe closet to wear with jeans in the weekend . Would be a fantastic change from my plain white converse that have seen better days 🙂 I have really difficult (wide feet ) to fit so love Zeira!
Oh my goodness It was so hard to choose there are so many I love! Oh yes the silver orion I can see myself being a supermum wearing those but my favorite would be the black duo boots They would get me from work to school to dance classes to PTA events to solving the problems of the world over a wine!
Soar-pewter reptile! Love the classic and simple style. Perfect for office wear and also on casual wear 😊👍
I love the Lana boot in the eggplant/snake colour. I’d definately kick ass in those boots (and be unstoppable)! I’d style them with jeans/trousers or with a dress and tights – very versatile boot for work or casual wear. Also as they are flat they would be great for chasing a toddler in!
I think that the LOLITA shoe with its versatility and show stopping silver will give me the ‘unstoppable’ edge. Every outfit would fit with these shoes – just gorgeous.
After checking out the website, I’d go for those gorgeous long boots called Speed. I’ve a need for Speed. I’ve just gone back to working full time so I need Speed to get me out the door in the mornings, do the school run, grab my coffee and speed into work before the bell goes! I spend my day speeding around the school with kids, I need Speed all day. Then at the end of the day Speed gets me to those after school activities and pick ups, grab last minute groceries on the way home, complete the homework, bath the kids and cook dinner. And how would I style them? I’d add a red, shiny cape so that I’d be UNSTOPPABLE.
Hard choice, love the Orion, Dock and Duo but think the Dock wins. I need something a little more casual for running around after my 2 yr old in.
I love Orion in silver! I think they’d be such a statement piece with so many looks. Super easy to match to different colours and styles also. Dress them up or down with pants or dress’s, love them!
The Orion to jazz up any mum outfit and to asd a bit of shine to those days that little sleep takes it from you;)
Duo look fab for autumn and winter.
I think.I would wear them every day
I need Toni in my life! I see you wearing the silver pair all the time in your blog and wish I could own some – they look so good with dresses, shorts, jeans, skirts….Toni is perfect and I think she and I would be unstoppable BFF’s! x
Definitely the silver Orion. I had a pair of gold loafers which I have totally thrashed. Got so many compliments and went with totally everything. Looking for a new update to replace my faithful friends!
I love the silver Toledo, they would go with most things in my dull wardrobe and definitely brighten it up.
The silver Orion are 😍😍😍 ..also quite loving the cute offwhite Lido for something a bit different !
Definitely the Olivia flats in black. I’m desperately in need of some stylish and comfy flats and these fit the bill perfectly. I love the colour of the silver brogues just am not quite sure they rock with me personally. Thank you
I like the zara in bronze!
I love the Zara in bronze. I would team them up with some high wasted pants and a tucked in blouse for a bit of a vintage look! Maybe even through on a black hat too!
I would put the silver lexi with jeans, rolled up a little like yours. A gorgeous hounds tooth blazer (knit material) with a burnt orange top underneath – smart enough to go anywhere and a bit funky too.
I love the Lolita in Silver. So practical for the school run yet will take me through the day whatever comes up! x
I just browsed the site and love love love the Orion in silver too… they’re funky and will stand out against tame winter blacks and greys. Ive become known for my shoes at work and think the silver Orion would totally suit my style and would be gorgeous as I run like a headless chook from being mummy, to serious worker, to fun friend! Specifically – black 7/8 pants and crisp white long blouse… classic and unstoppable
I’m having a hard time deciding between Orion in silver and Toledo in platinum. I think I’d go for boots in winter and style as follows:
Casual/mum/weekend – black ponte pants, grey marl top with metallic spots, chambray shirt, Toledo platinum boots.
Work – Black jacket and three quarter pants (or black dress), plenty of platinum bangles and Toldeo platinum boots.
Date night – Jumpsuit, denim jacket and Toledo platinum boots with statement necklace and platinum stacker rings.
Brave days – Leopard mini dress, bare legs and Toledo platinum boots.
Oh the lido are sassy and cute!!! Could see them with lots, jeans trousers, love the Orion as well, Argh decisions!!!!!
I love the fedora shoes in black patent, so pretty!
I love the fun & funky look, I have some similar pants and a million blazers so I’d try and recreate your look with a pair of white lolita!
LOVE the platinum Orions!!!! Paired with jeans & blazer, Perfect addition to both my ‘mum’ & ‘working’ wardrobe!
The zorro boots are lovely
I love the Envy, and I’d style them with my amazing new vintage style circle skirts that my Mum has made for me in lots of pretty fabrics. I love that I’ve finally found a style that I love, feel confident in, and know that no matter how I’m feeling that day, as soon as I step into one of my skirts I know I can conquer the world! Having shoes to do the same would be amazing!
I wear a lot of black and shades of grey in winter so I’m looking for something to brighten my view when walking (ok, so really only walking stairs as otherwise I’m not often looking down) and make my outfits pop.
I adore the Toledo boot in platinum but I’d have to choose the merlot Crystal boots as they’re flat, so look perfect for everyday wear for this working mumma who wants to wear beautiful, stylish things but needs them to be uber comfortable. I can totally see rocking these with a dress and tights, leggings and a tunic or even with my fav pair of jeans. Gotta love an item that is so versatile! #gettingthemostfrommywardrobe
Love the silver Orion too
I would go with a combo of your outfits 1 and 3 Cait, with the jeans from outfit 1, the top and blazer from outfit 3 🙂
Ohhh, I’m liking Zara in bronze, would be great teamed with my black outfits I tend to wear in Winter lol.
The black orions would be worn with a feeding-friendly shirt, mini and tights for autumn. It’s definitely flat shoes all the way for me now!
Oops posted twice soz!
I am firmly in mum territory now so it has to be flats all the way! It’s kind of depressing seeing all those heels languishing in the back of my closet. I like the black orions and would probably pair them with a feeding-friendly shirt, mini and tights for autumn
The silver Orion are fab! I love them with the cactus pants, I have been eyeing those up already and now I want them even more! They would be super versatile but I think my go to would be black pants and leather jacket with a pop of silver jewelry to tie them all together <3
Adore the duo boots! I’d be an unstoppable mum on the rugby sidelines over winter, rock these to work, wear them out with my friends and throw them on with jeans when I’m on mum duty! Would absolutely love to win this prize 😍
I may have added them to my shoe collection also……. can’t wait to wear them!
I like the look of the Tintin ankle boot. I would style them with skinny pants and a tunic or relaxed tee, with my bomber jacket and newly knitted snood since it’s cooling down. I could also see them working with a pretty dress cut just above the knee, with relaxed scrunchy ribbed socks peeking over the top of the boot, and a longline cardi!
The Lexi in silver will help me keep my shine. 4 years ago I bought a similar style in silver. When I first wore them out, I got quite a few stink comments about my craxy style, but I didnt even care. I loved them, whether i was in harems or jeans – i was unstoppable in my shiny loafers. They are now worn to the ground and need to be retired with a new pair, but i just dont want to part with them till I find the right pair.
yay! i LOVE that you didn’t care! Sounds like people we just jealous of your shine 😉
The silver Orion have my name written all over them.. perfect for keeping up with my threenager! Silver works with everything too !
hahahaha three-nager!!
I love the Orion myself too. Think I’d go silver as wear my love lee silver glitter lots. I’d be unstoppable in these if I paired them with my Augustine neon skirt, white top and a bright floral kimono! 😍
Orion in Platinum!! Love a good shoe, Im akways coveting the brogue style!!!
I have been obsessing over the new Toledo Ankle Boots in Platinum! They are simply gorgeous! Great for work and play!
I really love the Silver Orions…I’d forego my old, comfy sneakers and try something fresh, stylish & new! My daggy old “mumsy” style can be replaced by a much trendier, stylier me. Gone will be the days of feeling overdressed in a dress at the supermarket! Gone will be the days of “comfy mumsy is the new me”! Instead, I’ll be unstoppable in my shiny new silver shoes, a cute pair of ripped jeans (shall I, I’ve never!) and a cute, girly WHITE top. I’m now dreaming of s whole wardrobe overhaul….!!!
Ooh I think the Lexi are pretty sexy 😁 they would go with loads! I would probably wear them with floaty skirts for work or with my ripped boyfriend jeans in the weekend.
I’m totally sold on Orion (like you) BUT I would choose the Platinum colour …. because that colour goes with EVERYTHING and I’m a little obsessed with all things gold at the mo! I would style with my Zoe Karsson ripped jeans (exact right length & perfect amount of non-flesh-disclosing rips!), my Augustine Aviana print sweater (enough floral to make it really pretty) and my leather jacket … UNSTOPPABLE!!
I love the Zorro boot in black, and I need a new pair of short boots for winter. I can see them styled with a pair of slim leg pants and pretty feminine top for work, or dressed down with jeans and a tee for the weekend.
