We might be mid-heatwave but people are buying these Zara boots

Come rain or shine, nothing comes in the way of our love for a good ankle boot. Case in point: these lace-up beauties, courtesy of Zara (obvs), shown at their autumn/winter press day yesterday, which was incidentally one of the hottest days of the year.

I shared them on my stories and received so many positive comments and heart-eye emoji, that I think it's safe to say everyone loved them as much as I did. And for good reason.

They come in two beautiful colours: cream and powder blue, and are laced all the way up, with a zip on the side so you don't actually have to deal with the faff of tying them up, plus they're not too high either.

They tap perfectly into next season's Victoria shoe trend, and will look great with both wide leg jeans and a midi skirt. If it cools down, you could even wear them now with a slip dress.

The good news is that they're available now, though are already selling fast. There is more stock on the way if you sign up to the 'back in stock' alert though.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
