Falling for Zara

Most of the time, stores like H&M, Forever 21, and Zara can be very hit or miss. There are so many factors that go into what makes a great consumer friendly collection, from the materials used to the silhouettes that the designer creates. Fortunately for us, Zara’s November collection is a home run! Everything currently offered in the store is completely on point with this season’s most wearable trends. Not only that, but the materials used are soft, warm, and high quality, which isn’t always the case for such an affordable store. Nothing is worse than finding an item that looks good online, but feels scratchy or cheap in person. I’ve experienced this rather unfortunate situation far too many times, and I can tell you, with confidence, that you won’t experience even a hint of buyer’s remorse after purchasing any of these pieces. A few standout pieces from Zara’s November include cropped sweaters, silk blouses, corduroy shorts, and camel trousers. If you haven’t already done your holiday shopping or created your wish lists, I highly recommend that you add a few of these items on last minute. The best part of the collection is without a doubt the price range. All of the items featured in the image above are under $70 and available both in stores and online. Any piece on its own would make an incredible gift, whether it’s purchased for a friend or for yourself.

Oversize Everything

Oversize everything, just not all at the same time please. Oversized clothes, jewelry and accessories have been big for a while now. if you love this fashion trend then fear not, oversized is stil BIG.
Currently, we are enjoying the summer rays, so oversized sunglasses, tees or beach bags are good. However, with fall around the corner you can start looking towards a nice oversized coat, paired with skinny jeans, this is a great look. Okay, so we do not want to be thinking about the cold weather just yet. Instead lets think about something to get us from summer to fall, slowly ease into the cold days, we need something that's cosy, yet chic. With that said, opt for oversized sweaters, a nice look by itself if you have the legs to go with it. If the weathers a little cooler, try it with skinny jeans or leggings.
Grab your plastic, hit the shops and go oversize everything!
