Online shopping just keeps on becoming easier and easier. More and more lines are offering the service to shop from your couch, wait for a little bit, and then have the item delivered to your home–sometimes for free if you spend enough money on the site. As we’ve watched Zara ship to other localations around the world, we were excited to see that now Zara in Hong Kong also delivers. We know this first hand because Gigi got the suit of her dreams. And because of this delivery experience we might just all wear Zara for Christmas eve….
Gigi kept seeing this suit online, but none of the many branches of Zara had it in the stores. We finally took the plunge and ordered it. What a treat! The package took about five days to arrive which wasn’t too bad of a wait. The delivery man kept calling us at 9:30 at night because he wanted to make sure he got exactly the right house. Once the package arrived it was seriously like Christmas: the suit was beautifully wrapped in perfectly arranged tissue, closed with a little sticker encased in a sharp looking cardboard box. It was certainly a decadent experience and one Gigi thoroughly enjoyed.
1, 2, 3, JUMP!
Next was determining the wear of this suit–would it hold up to Gigi’s standards of comfort and activity combined? Yes, most definitely! She was able to run and jump all day even while exclaiming that she was the best dressed out of all of us for our family day in the city.
Gigi Style!
Most importantly Gigi above all felt really confident in this suit. Confidence in what we’re wearing has an affect on how we feel about ourselves. This can start as early an age as 12 and was evident by the strut she had all day long!
Zara Holiday Outfits for the Family:
Now, I’ve loved Zara since I was first introduced to in during our time in Venezuela. In fact, since the family usually has to allow me to go in, it might be fair to say they like the store as well–or else they loathe it. I’m not sure… This Spanish company initially started out in Spanish speaking countries, but I think it’s fair to say that Zara has become very, very global! Zara is a well-known and most definitely well liked brand. When I daydream about our upcoming trip home to the Northwest for Christmas, I have come up with Christmas Eve outfits for each of us. Some of them might actually happen; we’ll see. If anything, the brand always serves as perfect outfit inspiration. With all the Zara branches plus shipping from Zara in Hong Kong, it’s definitely an option. Here’s what I’m thinking of for each family member:
What happy fun pictures of Gigi. And isn’t that just what you want? And quite right about fostering confidence in young girls especially in this day and age. She chose a great suit!

Thank you Jacqueline. Yes it is!! And yes she did! Thanks for always stopping by and commenting. I really appreciate it! Love, Ann
I absolutely adore that suit on Gigi. She is just oozing confidence and I love that. I’m working on that all of the time with my daughter…she’s about to turn 12 and started middle school this year…such a treacherous time!

Treacherous to say the least. And it will just get more and more. My daughter is also 12! September 13. How about yours? Gigi also started middle school this year. I feel kind of lucky because she and her classmates are still rather naive. ;D
Thanks for commenting Debbie. Ann
Hailee turns 12 in March. She and most of her friends are also still pretty naive. She is still holding on to her belief in Santa and the Elf on the Shelf, which I love. It’s such a strange age though; not a little girl any more, but still not a big girl. Fortunately, I teach at the middle school she attends so it’s a little easier for me to keep an eye on things!
Oh wow Debbie! We have so much in common. Gigi and Santa are still tight. (She gets it from her MUM who will always believe;) Also, my husband is the associate principal at her middle school which I think Gigi enjoys. Let’s hope she still enjoys it in high school when I’m her librarian! Hahah! So neat getting to know you Debbie! A x
Gigi looks amazing, Annie!! The fact that she chose something so fresh and fun yet timeless demonstrates a real streak of sartorial genius in someone still so young 🙂 I love that 🙂 confidence is such a wily monster. It can do so much, either way of self-esteem pendulum and it’s something that Eve and I work on every single day. High school is a major game changer from that perspective.
I hope I can help Gigi to keep up with her confidences. She puts up a strong front and then sometimes melts at home. She does a pretty good job of remaining true to her. So far so good, but the water will get more treacherous. I know! I’ll take all the tips you’ve learned along the way! Love, Annie
OMG … super adorable!!!!!!
