Off the Rack: Spring Fashion at Zara

Zara

No trip to NYC would be complete for me without a quick peek inside Zara, a high-street fashion chain that I fell in love with years ago when I was studying abroad in Spain. Zara updates their racks with clothing every week it seems, but here's a sampling of the latest spring offerings that had me drooling. If you need something sexy for a summer wedding or the perfect white blazer, Zara is the first place I'd check! More pics after the jump...

A dress of python print and sequins


A Chanel inspired jacket


Detail of the tweed and unfinished ruffled edge trim





Striped blazer...I DIE.



Lots of white, so chic for summer




Watercolor florals, tres fresh


Ruffles, ditsy print florals and the one shoulder thang combine for the perfect summer dress.

Zara is one of my favourite stores!! Although I did get a little sick of them when in Europe just cuz there are so many. I really really hope you bought that blazer b/c it looks super sharp on you!

Nice post!

Now a days lot of designs have arrived in to men & womens fashion style. But one of the key items every men & woman should have is a pair of jeans that flatters your figure and can be dressed up or down.

Zara remains one of my very favourite chains of all time. I LOVE Zara! It's catwalk fashion at mainstream prices. If you thought their stuff was cheap here in the US – try Europe. It’s MUCH cheaper over there and the assortments are even better, especially in Spain. I know you know that, BB! Three cheers for positively BRILLIANT Spanish chain store Zara. The leading retail chain in the world.

I second Angie - in Europe, Zara is CHEAP! I went nuts over there - while here, it's a 10 min walk from my apartment but I rarely go inside...too pricey. Although...now I am tempted lol. Like, tonight. Hmmm.

All hail Zara! I've been a Zara junkie since 1995. Every store has a tractor beam that pulls me in. Even in Spain, where there's one about every 10 feet.

Love the Chanel inspired at Zara!! When I first shopped their stores in Europe, before the came to the US, I couldn't believe at the Chanel like suits they had for 100 bucks!

Adorable clothes and they look easy to wear! Too bad the Twin Cities doesn't have any of these fun stores.
