With a pandemic keeping us homebound coupled with a pregnancy and postpartum period that was rife with changes (both of the physical and mental kind), Zara's not the only shopping destination I took a hiatus from over the past year. It is, however, the one I probably missed the most. That's why when I recently took a deep dive back into the brand's site—just in time for summer, I might add—I was overwhelmed but also elated by all the amazing options. I loved a lot, but since I can't possibly buy all 48 items on my current wish list (not even counting matching sets as two), I figured I might as well share them so that others out there can benefit from all the time I just put into this venture.
To see and shop all one million of my finds, broken down into categories from outerwear to beachwear to accessories, simply keep scrolling.
Outerwear
It's the styling for me.
Patchwork jackets are everywhere right now.
Hello, perfect summer jacket.
Tops
I may or may not have already ordered this one.
Buttons make everything better.
Wear this anywhere, from dinner to the beach.
This will be a layering wonder.
I'm so inspired by the styling of this look.
I stock up on my basics every couple of seasons, and this tee looks like one I'm going to have to buy in multiples.
Trousers and Skirts
These ripped jeans feel very of-the-moment.
All class.
My colleague Lauren wears this all the time, and that's always a good sign.
I mean…
Love a split hem.

I keep seeing this dress on Instagram and kind of think I need it.
How cute are you?
I've been thinking about this dress for a while and think it's time to just go for it.
Sets
Don't forget the coordinating shorts!
How could you see this and not want this whole set?
Sure, the top is cool on its own, but it's just so much better with the pants.
I love that this doesn't feel like the typical set. Don't forget the pants!
Beachwear
Love a wrap skirt.
I love this atypical underwire cut.
This colour!
This feels rich.

Adorable!
I love the size of this and the fact that it comes in three other colours.

The tortoiseshell chain just makes it.
I just love this colour and shape.

Shoes
Need these so badly.

Such a cute print.
I would love to layer a few of these.

Both current and classic.
I'm a sucker for anything that feels even remotely personalized.
