ZARA: BACK IN BLACK

I've decided I'm going to get back in touch with my inner goff this winter. Over summer I enjoyed a bit of an unexpected love affair with all things floral, and it was mighty nice while it lasted, but after I spotted THIS adorable wee goff in Look magazine this week...

..and read THIS article by my pal Carrie at The Herald, I'm full on obsessed with all things black again.

Zara has a FIT collection of classic black pieces for autumn and winter including leather, embroidery, studs and chunky knits for a hot, GROWN UP GOFF look. What do you reckon? Banging, right?

I. NEED. EVERYTHING. It seems the less money I have, the more fantasy wishlists I create - torturous! Anyone else do that? I know you do, don't EVEN pretend.

Also, sorry this post is so similar to the last one, but, like, shut yer freakin gob OK? HAPPY FRIDAY!

ZARA BAGS - AGAIN!

UH OH.

Today is pay day.

Dangerous!

First on this month's TO BUY list is this gorgeous Zara bag I've been obsessing over covetting, ever since I saw Olivia Palermo rocking it on the streets of NYC:

Oh, 'Liv, you do know what you're doing accessory-wise doncha?

Yesterday I wore my grey & black striped maxi skirt from Urban Outfitters and a vintage silk leopard-print tshirt to stoat about town, and I couldn't help but feel like what my ensemble was missing was a LARGE, RED, LEATHER BAG.

"Hold the phone," I thought. "Doesn't that massive leather bucket bag from Zara come in a beeyootiful tomato-red colour too?"

Why yes, yes it does.

Come on now, isn't that a sight for sore eyes? Zara, you are really out-doing yourself on the bag front at the moment. Props to you. Perfect shade of orangey red, and JUST ABOUT big enough to house all my summer essentials such as an overly-large purse, Ray Bans, one broken lense from Topshop Ray Ban imitations, one large handfull of coppers, hundreds of hankies (clean and not so), browning banana, Vicks nasal spray, unidentifiable crumbs, four different kinds of lip balm, fluffy unwrapped Werthers Original, several hairbrushes... etc. (Remind me NEVER to do a What's In Your Bag feature.)

Anyway, ama defo head out to purchase this, possibly this evening... If I have time before Harry Potter that is.

Love ya, Harry! HARRY! HARRY DON'T DIE!!!*



*Harry doesn't die.**


**OR DOES HE?! ***


*** No, he actually doesn't.


EDIT: Speaking of Harry Potter, this shall also be making it's way to me ASAP:

Silver Deathly Hallows ring from Loki and the Dragon on Etsy.

WIN!
