If you know me at all, then you're probably well aware that I have a soft spot for Zara. I've been shopping there ever since the Spanish fashion brand opened its doors at my local mall, expanding my fashion horizons. Though I admittedly don't go wild on the site like I once did when I'm in the United States, my restraint goes out the window when I'm in Madrid, where the world's biggest Zara is located. Twice a year, I stock up on all of the best pieces when I'm visiting my parents abroad. Mostly, I focus on heavy discounts and first-to-arrive pieces that aren't available in the United States for another month or so.
After touching down in Madrid earlier this summer, naturally, my first stop was the brand's four-floor, 7700-square-meter flagship on Madrid's buzziest commercial street. Three hours and countless dressing room pictures later, I walked away with 14 items that were deliciously irresistible, including one I wore that same night. Usually, I might find one or two pieces that I want to try on, but this time around, that number was in the double digits.
Although I whittled down my items to sub-20, there are so many new Zara arrivals I can't stop thinking about. Scroll down to meet every one of them. Trust me—it'll be a delight.
