Despite the terrible storms, which didn't really hit until late Saturday, I had a great time in Sydney. I caught up with a girlfriend and hit the shops and managed to see some of the spectacular VIVID Light Festival, even though some of it was not on show because of the weather.
I loved checking out H&M and ZARA and cannot wait for those stores to hit our shores at the end of the year. I bought a black and gold blouse (worn below), and a jumper shown at the bottom from H&M, and jewellery. I tried on tops galore in ZARA, but must admit that I didn't find anything that suited me. I also checked out some of my favourite Australian Designer labels; sass & bide, Ginger & Smart, for more on these check out My Lust List.
It was great to hit the shops overseas, and see what they were offering. ZARA was very Bohemian, lots of prints, detailing and luxe fabrics and not too badly priced. I did buy a couple of pieces from H&M but did have to sift through a lot of clothes to find the real gems! I hope that when ZARA and H&M come here the prices arent increased like other European brands have done here.
