On Sunday this last weekend we went to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum down at the Star Ferry Terminal in Central with Cork, Sally, and Little Guy. It was a very well put together museum and very interesting, but that’s not the subject of this post: Zara is. Afterwards when we were about to catch the 6X bus home, I asked, well no, I begged if I could have just five quick minutes in Zara at the IFC Mall. I stuck to my word. I went in to see what new things were going on as the entire summer collection is gone and autumn is here. I only had five minutes, but in that quick time, this is what I walked away wanting…
- A leather black backpack–so much better than my Stanley market number that kept breaking at the strap. Luckily the fellas I bought it from fixed it up so it’s back to new, but this one is so much cooler!
- This flower dress just looked perfectly cute for the warm fall Hong Kong will offer.
- This necklace just screams “STATEMENT!” I love it!! And it would be very versatile matching with so much.
- Blake Lively wore this stunning white capelet suit to an event. This Zara shirt kind of reminds me of it–with out having to be totally all dressed up.
- I admit it: I almost did just walk out with this one, but then I stopped myself. I will most likely get this denim pencil skirt though. It’s just too perfect, and it would go with EVERYTHING!
- There’s really no reason to explain this little leopard bag. It has my name all over it–don’t you think?
- I’ve had my eye on this necklace for awhile. I now own this one (which I am very excited to style and wear) from What the Frock?!, so I don’t feel so needy for this statement necklace, but I still really like it. I’m thinking about a DIY though inspired by this one….
- Famous people like Chiara, Rumi, and Eva have the real Balenciaga version of this boot, but people like me opt out for the copycat Zara version!
- And last but not least, these runners are just so colorful and therefor very cute!
Any of this catch your fancy? Or do you have your eye on something else? You can tell me in the comments.

Loving your eye spy on Zara’s fall collection. Why is it that I love the leopard bag but know I would pick it up want it ….then talk myself out of it. Are some people born for animal print and others not. I always feel I need to hold my paw up and roar….silly but true. The floral necklace takes my fancy and if I felt I deserved it would come home with me!
I think I have a solution for you Jane. I understand what you mean with the whole animal print thing. It’s not for everyone, but I have an idea for you to check if you might be more animal than you thought. Head to Ya Show or the Pearl Market (or whatever market strikes your fancy), and pick up a leopard printed scarf. You are the master of scarves woman; you wear them sooooo well! And you always have the most beautiful ones. Try a leopard one out–first in some muted colors then maybe you’ll want to go bold with the whole camel/black color scheme. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised! A x
I love those boots. Would you wear them with a dress?
Yes! Sheila, I totally would. I’d just wear some thin black socks and scrunch them up and go totally military style with the flowers. I might even (if I had it) throw on a sleeveless army green cargo type jacket to toughen it up a bit more. With the necklace and boots I think it’d be perfect. Plus stuff the backpack, and you’re set! I think because I’d cover up a bit of my calf it would somehow make the dress seem less short. Less skin if you know what I mean. Go for it!! A x
Thanks for visiting! Maritime history and shopping – two of Hong Kong’s greatest attributes!
It’s a very well done museum. I really enjoyed it as did my family–3 kids aged 2, 9, and 11 plus 4 adults. I’ll be recommending it to others–in fact I already have to the students in my library. Thanks for stopping by. Ann
