Zara Clothes Haul

H&M just opened its first store in Singapore yesterday, to the immense delight of many who will no longer have to traipse to Hong Kong just for their H&M fix. It's great to see the retail scene in Singapore moving closer to other fashion metropolises although personally, I've never had any success shopping in H&M. My work wardrobe is dominated by Warehouse, Zara and Cue (from Australia), while my weekend wardrobe is a melange of Topshop, Uniqlo and Mango.

I picked up these pieces from Zara recently. The dreamy dusky rose skirt is a fantasy piece that I stumbled upon. I didn't have the faintest clue what I would wear it to but I think it would go quite nicely with a plain black or grey top and a belt.


The metallic gold threads of the under layer twinkle ever so prettily through the rose gauze.


I also picked up a top with a similar pale gold metallic finish. The cotton and polyester mix felt soft and non-scratchy against the skin. As it was semi-translucent, I got an off-white camisole to wear under it.


The last piece is just a simple pair of shorts, perfect for Singapore's hot weather. I liked the comfortable fit but the pockets on both the front and back are complete dummies without any actual pockets that you can slide your hands into!
