Obsession: ZARA BAGS

While it may have taken me a whie to realise it, I have come to the solid conclusion that I have a serious obsession with bags made by Zara. In all shapes, sizes, colours, for any occassion. They are easily dressed up or down and some have the capability to carry your whole world (trust me I know). I can spend hours pouring over photos on the website and popping in store when I am having a down day to have a good look at them. Don't get me wrong I am actually obsessed with Zara as a shop in general. Evey payday carries a lunch time dash to the nearest Zara shop with a mental list of things to grab. The thing, I think, about the bags though is that while some of them carry quite large price tags (for my pay packet at least) they make really similar but cheaper versions of them. With this in mind and also considering that since I was a child I always had a great love for bags, usually with my last £30 pound in the bank and a week to go until I get paid again, I spend it on a packet of cigarettes and a little something from Zara to brighten up the day.

Having said that, towards the end of last week, this purchase was made....

Took it home, removed the stuffing and the next day threw it on with a pair of blue jeans and my new trench coat. Simple. It has a long strap as well and cost £23. Like I was going to say no to that. My mum always said I would rather spend my last money on bags and shoes than being able to eat. 

At the moment I have a sizeable list of Zara bag buys so I thought I would just show you  few of them, all of which are still available online or in stores at the moment (yes I checked).

I hope everyone is having a fanstic weekend, despite the cold weather and snow here in England!! I'm still going shopping today though, and i'll probably waltz into Zara like it's an extension to my house!

Decisions, decisions: RED OR BLACK?

When the new ASOS magazine landed on my doorstep the other day I was eager, as always to start flicking through it. I came across a pair of wedges in a shoot that I instantly fell in love with and after learning that they cost only £45 I went straight online to start my quest of owning them. That was for the silver metalic pair... when I got there I found that they also came in red and black. 

Dilema time. What pair shall I treat myself too? The Red? Or the Black? I even have my eye on the silver pair!! I've had to give it some serious consideration and have come to the conclusion that it's only "my right to shoes" to own all three colours. However the bank account harldy allows me to order all three in one go so what colour should, or needs to come first? 

While I have lots of black, at this moment in time it goes more with what I'm wearing than both the red or silver. But when I think about the sort of clothes I will be wearing as spring and summer finally arrive the red AND silver speak volumes!! Considering the height of the wedge and the t-bar style of the shoe these things are going with everything from floaty dresses to light cigarette pants. I'm gonna need help!!!

New in: STUDDED COLLAR SHIRT

 

I found this little gem on ebay. It doesnt have a brand or any labels or anything it just fits so well. It arrived in the post and I spend the rest of the evening when I got home from work pairing it with nearly everything already hanging in my wardrobe and imagining what it would look llike with other things on my shopping wish list. 

I have gone a bit crazy with blouses, tops and shirts with amazing collars recently. so wearable now and so wearable in 6 months!!! Throw it on over a white bandau with jeans or tuck into cute shorts... easy peasy!!
