Zaralicious
Apparently, the buyers at Zara know my deepest, darkest soap opera fantasy: to marry a European prince or mogul and spend my days frolicking on Italian and Greek beaches in casual, yet painfully chic attire.
And Zara's clothes are pretty cute back in the real world too.
I probably clocked a good three to four hours trolling the aisles of this fast-fashion retail giant while in Rome and Florence last week. Thankfully -- for my credit card's sake -- I only bought some fun, perforated patent leather flats and seriously hemmed and hawed over a flirty, lavender jersey knit mini-dress (didn't buy it after all).
Move over H&M: I can't wait for fabulous Zara to open at the Natick Collection this year and on Newbury Street next year. And -- be still my bargain-loving heart -- the Spanish retailer recently announced plans to move into the former Filene's space in Downtown Crossing.
Prince of Liechtenstein, my bags are packed!
