Some Zara love..

The sales are finally coming to an end here in Paris so the stores are starting to fill with new season pieces. I ventured into Zara today (usually a no-no on a Saturday cos its MENTAL busy) and was greeted by a sea of mints, corals, azures and yellows. I could have bought about 20 items but limited it to 3 – I’m supposed to be doing a wardrobe clearout next weekend so buying lots before I do that seems crazy… Heres a couple of things I spotted on my visit!

FYI I bought the pailettes sequins clutch, a blazer, and the yellow lace top. Think I’ll go back for the white dress and two strap sandals on Monday…

Sisters

My sister Siobhan is my absolute best friend in the whole world, I adore her. And even though we now live in different countries we are still very much connected. For example, within 24 hours of eachother this week, we both ended up buying the exact same coat in Zara in the exact same colour…

 

Currently coveting: The July edition

Topshop boots: I’m a boot lover – ask any of my friends. So I reckon I’ll buy both of these beauties…

 

Prada bag: I’m going to be visiting a Prada outlet in early August, and this amazing deerskin tote is on my shopping list!

A holiday: July has been pretty miserable so far. I need beaches, sunshine, surf and time to read all my new books!

This whole outfit from Zara: Especially that printed bomber jacket…

Marc Jacobs iPad case: It would be the best dressed case around!

Zara sweater: This metallic effect sweater is exactly what my transitional wardrobe needs. It has a great zip detail down the back too.

YSL ring: I’ve been in love with the YSL arty oval rings since I first spotted one in London. This white one is timeless!

Store inspiration: Zara

My go-to store is Zara. In the last couple of years I feel its really upped its game and continues to produce trends-led pieces that are affordable and of good quality. Their latest collection and lookbook are the best yet. I think I want everything!!! Here are some of my favourite looks and pieces – I’ve already purchased a few…

I need this Studio Dinner Jacket

Love this jacket

Classic white shirt

How cute are these blue coloured jeans?

Am I brave enough to wear bright pink pants? The yellow heels are a yes though! And the jumper is very Isabel Marant...

This white jumper has me thinking of cool nights by the beach

This XL clutch is gonna match my shoes!

If you wear one thing this week… #23

…make it slightly sheer! Ladies, I know its freezing out these days but one look I love seeing around town is that sheer-top-mixed-with-woolly-cardigan trend. Beautiful! I’ve always had a bit of a thing for sheer fabrics such as lace and chiffon and lightweight silk, I must admit. I love how it looks and how its the perfect fabric to mix with a contrasting one such as velvet, wool or jean. It’s also hella sexy and comfortable – two things always at the top of my wishlist!! Get some inspiration below…
