Zara jack(et)pot!

I recently had the pleasure of a long weekend in the UK, and I just had to take advantage of the January sales. The closest decent shopping location to me is in Basel across the border in Switzerland, and you'd pretty much win the lottery before you found a piece of string under £10, so - you understand - I HAD to go shopping while I was in the UK.

Zara was one of my first points of call, and I'm sure they'd be pleased to hear I spent a small fortune on my spree, but - and this is a big but - I exploited them for all I could...I used and abused their rails...I acquired some absolute beauties...and I spent at least half as much as they'd have originally liked...so THERE. Justified. By the by, that album was a goodie wasn't it?!

Aaanyway, my top two Zara buys were a couple of gorgeous jackets, which I think will be perfect for the end of winter slash spring. It's priddy cold where I am, and I've managed to get a wear or two out of this first jacket already - and it felt goooood, real goooood!

I really love the colours, and they work well with others. Usually, shape-wise, I don't feel that comfy in this kind of thing and I steer toward fitted stuff to accentuate my waist, but I don't feel too tentish in it! For £29.99, reduced from £79.99, you really can't complain. It's still on the Zara site here if you're keen.

I squeaked a little bit when I saw this jacket too; again, the square-type jacket isn't usually my style but I was in a 'I want to try the sophisticated, shapeless look' kind of mood so thought why not? Plus, and possibly most excitingly, it has *popper* buttons on it (yup, that's right, I did once own a pair of Adidas poppers!). It's cute, will go with a lot, and will also work well as a blazer in the office on a chilly day.
