Thank God for Zara’s new web shop!

I live in city situated two hours by train from the nearest Zara so I was really excited when I found out that Zara was to open a web shop – which they just did! I don’t think they ship to Denmark yet, though, but now I can see all the fab things I want to buy when I go to London during fashion week (which runs from Sep. 17 – 22, btw). Below are some of my ‘have-to-haves’ (‘NEED-to-haves’ is more like it), and please take a look at Zara.com to make a ‘have-to-have’ list of your own.

A quick advice about net shopping:
Coats, jackets, shirts, skirts, and accessories are easier and safer to buy online than jeans, dresses, and shoes. Don’t buy the three last mentioned unless:

• You know the size is right (because you’ve tried the item on physically before, or because you know that you always fit a certain label’s size something-or-other), or
• You can measure the length of e.g. your foot when buying shoes and compare it to the item measurements next to the product and thereby see that you are very likely to fit it, or
• It’s really cheap (as in REALLY cheap), or
• It’s easy to get the purchase exchanged (remember to check if you have to pay for the shipment back and forth).

And still, if you buy coats, jackets, shirts, skirts, accessories, or any other wearable item, use your common sense and don’t forget the helpful measuring/size guides (Net-a-Porter makes useful ones).

Since there’s no way I can afford any of the Shearling Burberry Prorsum aviator jackets I really want, I’m gonna go with this 'Faux Sheep Skin Jacket' from the TRF collection which looks pretty decent. Plus, I don’t know how long the sheepskin trend will go on for so it’s a good way to work in the trend without emptying your wallet completely (£39.99 compared to around £2,000 for a Prorsum).

I have a thing for parkas and military jackets, and this one is just darn cute and feminine! ‘Washed Military Jacket’ £39.99 also from the TRF line.

Cool pullover from the TRF line which I could wear with blue jeans and my black patent Fred Flats from Louboutin. £25.99 – also comes in red.

I don’t know if this dress will look good on me so I will try it on in a Zara store. But the sculptural shape is just great. ‘Boat Neckline Dress’ £49.99.

With really high heels, this dress could be pretty fabulous for a night out, but I will definitely try it on before buying it to see if it fits my body type. £35.99.
