Zara Goes Online

And the big news of this week in September......the arrival of the Zara online shop! Way over-due, and highly anticipated, this website is certain to bring much happiness to many women (and men) all around the country.  Being a big fan of online shopping myself, I have to say few were as excited as myself (I actually hopefully was on their midnight at the break of September 2nd to see how quickly it was to be up and running... I know, don't judge !!)

Anyway, in celebration of this new development, I thought I would put up and discuss a few of my favourite items from this wonderful shop....:

1. Double Brested Frock Coat £69.99, 2. Gauze Dress with Animal Print £35.99, 3. Faux Sheep Skin Jacket £39.99, 4. Short Cross-Over Blazer £49.99, 5. Cotton Trousers with Pleats £19.99,  6. Layered Skirt £39.99, 7. Short T-shirt with Short Sleeves £14.99, 8. Bolero Jacket Opening in Back £39.99, 9. Military Jacket Buttons £39.99, 10. Pleated Trousers with Braces £22.99

Such an amazing collection, narrowing it down was actually surprisingly difficult!  Anyway, as for what's in it..

1.  Though it is a little pricey, I thought this coat was highly appropriate, military being so in of late.  Stylishly fitted with smart gold buttons and a neat little collar, and of long length, it would look fantastic with a pair of jeans and boots.

2.  I am in LOVE with this dress. A gorgeous leopard print with a black bow around the chest, it is an unusual loose shape and a nice above-the-knee length -perfect for a smart dinner or a night out.

3.  Well, I figured this was perfect for the present aviator trend.  It has a nice wide wooly collar and looks very smart.  It also looks really expensive, but is totally affordable!

4.  I thought this jacket is very Balmain. Cropped, with gold buttons and wide shoulders, it is a statement to make when needing to buy a black jacket to go with everything.

5.  Another style that is very 'in' at the moment is this shape of trousers.. I thought these ones were very nicely designed and a great colour, perfect for a slightly more casual get-up.

6.  I am a fan of high waisted skirts.. They cover up all that needs covering, but provide a beautifully feminine shape.  This one is perfect with a shirt for work of a tshirt for shopping, very multi-functional.

7.  Nice navy white stripes and a stylish bat-wing style sleeve with a cute little pocket on the chest -a very plain but necessary wardrobe piece. 

8.  A fantastic chunky knit, and a vital item for this winter.  Oversized, in a relaxed shade of light grey, perfect for curling up in front of the fire or popping out in the cold.

9.  Another military-style jacket, only in navy this time, and a slightly softer approach to the trend.  With long strips of big buttons and small but statement pockets, it is a great coat for this September.

10.  A similar style of trouser as the previous pair, slimly fitted in either navy or beige, and with braces to boot, just to toughen up the look, add something a little more different..

Zara is a fantastic place to shop, not only for its elegant, yet relaxed style, but also for its prices, being cheaper than Mango (its Spanish rival) but still of great quality.  I thought I would finish with a few words.....expressed through some of their shoes.  Worth stealing? Definite yes me thinks !!
