With a pandemic keeping us homebound coupled with a pregnancy and postpartum period that was rife with changes (both of the physical and mental kind), Zara's not the only shopping destination I took a hiatus from over the past year. It is, however, the one I probably missed the most. That's why when I recently took a deep dive back into the brand's site—just in time for summer, I might add—I was overwhelmed but also elated by all the amazing options. I loved a lot, but since I can't possibly buy all 48 items on my current wish list (not even counting matching sets as two), I figured I might as well share them so that others out there can benefit from all the time I just put into this venture.
To see and shop all one million of my finds, broken down into categories from outerwear to beachwear to accessories, simply keep scrolling.
