Summer is coming and Penneys have some gorgeous pieces in store!! Dreaming of when Penneys do online shopping!!

Look at this stripe trousers, they were matched instore with this top and they look great together. The top is only €5 and the trousers (i think) €16- €18 mark.

I bought a pair of these trousers in Penneys a few years ago and still have them, they are great for holidays as they are light. I dress mine with dressy cami tops, similiar to this one. The trousers are great value for €8!

Couldn’t believe it when I saw these trousers, they look so expensive and I think they were €16. I love the detail on the side. These would be great for conmunion/confirmation outfits.

Last pair of bottoms I promise! Look at these jeans and they are only €19 and a great fit on.

Ok time to show you some tops, I love the colours of this short and admired it on a friend last week. It is only €13 and would look great with the above jeans.

These two were on sale, the cardigan was reduced to €7 and the top to €5.

And now for some shoes!! What do you think of these beauties!! They were only €22!!

Hope you see something you like!!

One of my favourite things about Zara is that the styles every year are always different. Yes, they have staple pieces that don’t change but their seasonal clothes do. It annoys me how in some high street stores the clothes are pretty much the same every year but shock shock it’s in a different colour this season!!

Correct me if I am wrong but I think it is a trend amongst the Spanish shops that they change their styles every year and I love it! I went to Madrid a few years back and loved it and the shopping (which reminds me I need to do a blog post on Madrid).

Anyway back to the point, I went onto the Zara website recently on a lazy day and purchased a few pairs of shoes in the sale. Serious bargains on their shoes and they had some clothes left as well.

I got these black boots and wore them out last weekend. They were reduced to €12.99 from €39.95, and they are pretty comfortable. They are higher in the leg then most of my ankle boots so they feel a bit strange but I hadn’t a bother walking around Dublin in them.

I got these gold boots as well, I wasn’t overly sure about them but they could be really nice with a skirt or dress and for €12.99 for leather boots I couldn’t say no. They were reduced from €69.95 to €12.99 and they still have some online. They were nicer then I was expecting when I got them and I am pretty happy.

I bought these studded black sandals, definitely something handy to have in the wardrobe and they were only €9.99 reduced from €59.99!

I ordered all of the shoes online and got them delivered to a store in Dublin. Sure when I was going into collect the shoes I had to have a look around the shop and picked up this dress, I love it!!

This is new season and it was only €25.99, the material is quite heavy and feels like suede. I tried the medium and it fitted perfectly everywhere except around the shoulder area it was a bit big. When I left the fitting room I measured it against a small and there wasn’t much of a difference so I went with the small. Big mistake!! I obviously never checked the length when I measured the two and the small is easily a couple of inches shorter! It fit me perfectly everywhere except the length and I am only 5ft 3! Fingers crossed when I go back into Zara they still have it 😕
