I love Zara

Before this year, i'd never stepped foot in a zara as i thought it was a bit snooty, the only one i'd passed was in birmingham, and anyone who's been will know that it is possibly the worst one ever!

Towards the end of the summer, Craig and i went to the trafford center almost everyday for dinner and a light spot of shopping, we've pretty much eaten in every restaurant there!

Anyway, the zara in the trafford center is much much nicer than birmingham and i fell a little in love... One one visit i saw a black leather bag, very similar in shape to the alexander wang rocco, i liked it very much but Craig thought it was ugly and i reconsidered, a few weeks later, the bag was still on my mind, and up popped a post from Laura (lollipop26) with the bag in, which only fuelled my desire for it, i then saw an article about some wag with her friend, and her friend was carrying this bag, that was it, i knew it was meant to be if it kept popping up!

So off i went in a number of different zara's but to no avail, so... i bit the bullet and ordered online.

The box arrived within about 3-4 days which isn't too bad, nothing can beat net-a-porter's packaging, but zara gave it a good shot, a plain brown box with the 'zara' in medium black font in the center of the box, inside, wrapped in tissue was my beautiful bag!!

The one i originally saw in store was much more shiny and 'crackled' than mine and not as attractive, in my opinion.

To give you an idea of size...

It's oh so soft, not balenciaga soft, but i wouldn't expect that for £99 anyway!

i got it a few weeks ago and i've used it alot, sadly its a struggle to get a4 folders in so not everyday.

So yes, this has confirmed it... I love Zara!
