ZARA New S/S'15 Collection

So, it's been a while since I last did a shopping feature from ZARA and I figured it's a good time to get back to it with their new S/S collection. Each week they are adding more to this new collection, but I thought I'd pick out some of my favourites from what's on offer at the moment.

There is quite a lot of black featured, which is good news to me when it's my favourite colour to wear, but also there is quite a few of the classic and timeless combination of black and white/cream.

One of my favourite picks being a long cream cardigan with black stripes which has an Isabel Marant vibe (at a fraction of the designer price) and is going straight on my S/S wish-list. Another favourite of mine is the taupe 'Collarless double-sided coat', which would be the perfect coat to make any outfit go from plain to effortlessly stylish. The 'Leather roman sandals' are also on my wish-list for Summer, as they instantly made me think of the roman-style sandals by Chloe for S/S'15 and also the 'Ankle-strap flats' have strong similarities to the Kid Suede Slippers from CHANEL's Cruise 14/15 collection.

So, there are plenty of designer elements from ZARA'S new collection, which in my opinion is a great way to get the designer look at a fraction of the price and why ZARA is definitely my favourite store, but then you guys already knew that!

Lets get to it then, here's my picks from the S/S'15 Collection at ZARA...

Happy Shopping!

On My Mind / ZARA Wish-list

A quick post to share some beauties from ZARA that are currently on my mind. I'm on the hunt for an affordable go-with-everything tote handbag at the moment and I think I may have found it in the 'Mini City Bag' (below), I knew I could count on ZARA. I've also fallen in love with these mustard yellow buckled sandals, I can see these being the perfect day-to-night sandal for me. I'm making space in my closet for everything on this list as we speak.
Happy shopping.

The Woven Ankle Boot Sandal by ZARA

These shoes instantly caught my eye from ZARA. The pattern/colour clash gives them that edge that would make them ideal for adding some spark to a simple or plain outfit. I can imagine these shoes looking great worn with a multitude of things like a smart trouser, taking a summer dress from day to night but they would look really effortless with the true classic and my favourite- blue jeans and a white tee.

ZARA S/S'14

As it has been a while since I have done a more substantial shopping feature I thought what better time to get back to it then when the ever so lovely Spring/Summer '14 collection is available from ZARA. It's no secret that I am a huge ZARA fan, I can't leave the store with have at least buying a handful of pieces but wanting about 80% inside the shop and this season doesn't disappoint. I see a lot of influences from the S/S collections from Prada, Dior, Céline, Marni and Chloé which is great when you might not afford to buy pieces from those designers, you can go to ZARA and buy designer influenced pieces at a fraction of the price- great! I like to see that there is quite an amount of black within the collection, with most shops and designers jumping for white and bright colours for S/S its always a pleasant surprise to see black because its effortlessly classic and is a safe option- which is not a bad thing. So I took the pleasure of having a browse through what's on offer and created my picks from ZARA's collection this season, as can be expected each choice is on my wish-list this S/S!

Happy Shopping.
