My blog officially turned a year old this month! 

The aim for year number two is to post at least once a week & improve on my photos.

Spanish Zara Haul

So I know in my last post I was explaining why I had been AWOL for a number of weeks & it's happened again! Sorry.. I've been on holiday! No wifi & I ran out of data allowance on the first day so I couldn't even manage insta posts. How annoying! But anyways, I'm back home with internet & my trusty macbook aaand I'm not back to university until September so I intend on dedicating that time to my blog. Expect lots of blog posts over the next few weeks - I've got lots of lovely wee outfits from my time in Spain. My boyfriend was sick to death of taking photos for me, haha! Talking about photos, that is also one of my aims for over the summer, get a bit more creative with my outfit images. I wish I was good at photography or had a person photographer to hand but unfortunately I don't, so Mr Corry will have to remain for now!

Having just returned from Spain, I have to talk about Zara. It is so CHEAP over there! Well much cheaper than here.. if something is £30 here, it's 30 euros there and so you actually save a bit of cash. In saying that though, be organised! I checked the prices of everything I wanted to buy here because there are a few things that can be more expensive for example, I seen a pair of nude heels that with 36 euros but only £19.99 here. 

I made an online order on the Spanish site a couple of days before I flew over & just collected it from my nearest store. I also bought a few bits & pieces before I flew home. I could have bought much more, but my boyfriend was fed up shopping! The only issue was that I arrived home to Zara's summer sale so a lot of the bits I purchased were reduced to a similar price of what I paid in Spain. Some of the items are still available in store so grab a bargain whilst you can!

I loved the open back detailing of this top!

You may have noticed I already had it in black from my Monochrome blog post.

It's such a versatile little piece & goes with almost everything in my wardrobe. 

I've got an outfit post coming up wearing this little playsuit. I thought it looked gorgeous paired with nude accessories & I loved that it looked like a dress - something a bit different!

I loved the low-cut of the back of this jumpsuit & thought it was ideal for both summer & the colder months. Also living in Scotland, our summer isn't the hottest!

My local store still has this in stock in various sizes & it's still currently available on the Zara website. 

You can never have too many basics! 

Picked both of these up for under £20, I think they were around 11 euros.

 I've been searching for a nude pair of flats for ages & haven't found any that I really liked!
I seen these espadrilles online & fell in love. They are super comfy & look great paired with jeans or wee summer dresses.



I also thought I'd add in some other shoes I bought from the Zara sale here, I got myself quite a few bargains! The black & white Vinyl D'orsay shoes, great dupes for Gianvito Rossi heels, were only £20 each (a steal compared to the £500 price tag of Gianvito Rossi heels!).

The nude, black & red heels were only £20 as well. The black strappy heels were the cheapest of them all - only £12! Can't go wrong there!
