Zara Flats

Let’s face it, during winter our outfits can be a bit drab and so during the spring / summer I like to amp it up, popping colour into my outfits where possible. Increasingly I find that shoes are a fun way to achieve both colour and texture into an outfit. So, in keeping with my focus on accessories, I should like wax lyrical about these turquoises flats I purchased from Zara as they have been a firm staple for me as the sun makes an appearance.

 When I come across something I like I tend to obsess and buy a back up, I am soooo glad I picked up two pairs when I did as I love the colour and scaled texture of theses flats! They are extremely comfortable and serve me well in my commute from my door to office when I can’t be bothered to wear heels. 

Am I the only one who buys a back up pair of shoes when they come across something they like? 

Zara Shopping Basket - Spring 2012

So recently I came down off my snobbery tower and ventured into Zara. I can't fit into their clothing but have to admit that their accessory line usually churns out some bangers. Their plaited shopper became 'the' bag of winter with everyone and their mother buying the large bag, sales tripled when the fashion pack adopted it.

I was initially not impressed when I saw the Spring '12 version but quickly became a fan when I need a sizable bag to take with the girles for Burlesque last week. The bag is huge and I love it. It has a weired inner liner that I use to give the contents a bit of privacy and deter thieves. I think the colour is great for Spring / Summer and I skipped to the till once I realised that the bag was half the price of the plaited bag.

It comes in black too...
