Z-Z-Z-Z-Zara!

I'm really excited to share my scalloped hem shorts with you all.  It's in the finishing stages and should be completed soon (like tonight... I just need to peel myself away from the computer, ha ha).  I'm very proud of myself because I had to alter the pattern to make the scallops and that was a bit of a challenge.  Stay tuned.

I finally wore my F21 satchel.  I've had it for a while now, but was too lazy to switch out my bag. ha ha.  Do you guys find it a hassle to switch out your bag?  I don't know why I carry so many (unnecessary) things in my purse.  I found a glue stick in my bag.  Weird.

Thank you for the comments you all left about my post yesterday.  Friendships come and go and it's sad to see some end, but everything happens for a reason right?  Speaking of friends, I've connected with a lot of fun, unique, kind, stylish, and amazing people here in the blogosphere and one of those sweeties is Seval from Turkey!  Check out her adorably chic blog here.  She doesn't have a local F21 store in Turkey and I don't have a Zara here in Hawaii, so what better way to satisfy our shopping desires, than to do a shopping swap. :)  I got my very first items from Zara the other day.  I was so excited when I opened the box that Seval sent and she was also kind enough to gift me a Miu Miu-esque kitty scarf.  It is so adorable!  Thank you again Seval.  I hope you love the things I got you as well and I hope they come soon!

Okay, peeling myself away now.  Scallop shorts, here I come!

Hehe they look as beautiful as I sent :) No damage at all!!! I'm glad you liked them all, I can imagine them on you, you'll look amazing "as usual"! I'm waiting to get my package too, every time the bell rings, I jump of my chair :) No trace at all, yet :( But will be soon! Oh I can't wait to see your shorts too!

The scarf is adorable! I love Zara but theres not one near me either, although I only have to take a 45 minute drive not leave the country like you do! I hope we get to see your purchases in detail soon :)
I would love a pair of scalloped shorts so looking forward to seeing them!

The shopping swap is such a brilliant idea. How come I never think of things like that until I read about it on someone (some smartypants AKA you) else's blog? I love your Zara items! I'm heading over to Seval's site now. Tootles!

How incredibly sweet and fun to do a swap! And your F21 satchel?!?! I totally thought it was the Mulberry! Great bag - and yup I rarely change bags - it's so much hassle. Hope you have a great weekend Sharon!

Happy weekend Sharon!

ahhhh! that was the F21 bag I wanted really badly! SOOO glad you were able to get it (I was not ) :(
but yes I am the same way! i find it such a hassle to switch bags ....

KANI said...

Lisa said...

A shopping swap sounds like a great idea!

I'm pretty annoyed as well that there is no Zara here in Detroit, but at least we have Anthropologie. They need to open up Anthropologie in HI before we move there! At least there are a few Targets in Oahu! That makes life feel more normal.

I've seen this bag on Kristy-Monochromachic, and I have been dying to get my hands on one. It looks perfectly sized for all the crap I lug with me on a reg.

And it looks better than the crap Mulberry x Target stuff Target is selling!

Love the sandals!!!
