Feeling like a million bucks!

Recently the first Zara store was launched in South Africa amidst a flurry of social media frenzy. Situated in the beautiful new wing of the Sandton City shopping centre the store as well as its contents blows you away at first sight.

Being a cash-strapped student I haven’t exactly had the opportunity to actually personally sample the store’s wares. So of course when I heard that Sandton City was having a summer sale I rushed myself from Pretoria to Joburg for some fun-filled bargain shopping!

Now, I’m not much of a brand-loving type, but any fashionista would never say no to shopping at stores like Mango...especially if you’re a penniless student hungry for a bargain! So, naturally, when I found a beautiful pair of camel-coloured high-waisted Mango shorts on their half-price sale I rushed myself to the till clutching the shorts in absolute ecstasy.

I was also able to finally call an item from Zara my own when I bought a capped sleeve black basic t-shirt made of the most fantastic velvet-like cotton.

Imagine me, walking with Mango and Zara bags in Sandton City...I felt like a million bucks! I can’t wait to create some outfits with my new key pieces and share them with my lovely readers!
