My Fall Love

While exploring the streets of Barcelona and San Sebastian during a recent trip to Spain we encountered what felt like one Zara store every block. Right now there are 48 ZARA stores in United States. There are 329 in Spain. The usual toupes, browns, greens and neutrals were there in the typical semi-artistic sophisticated Spanish silloutte but what surprrised me was the shoe collection.
Every store seemed to have more than I have ever seen in the Zara stores in the US. Heeled boots, ankel boots, bluchers, platforms, wedges, stillettos, ballerina falts, sandals and they seemed to be well made. I fell in love with the plain toed brown leather bluchers for women. They were a perfect compliment to the Fall jewel tone tights I packed as well as reminding me of the color of Spanish cigars.
3 months later back in the States they are holding up pretty well- I am ready for the deep snow to melt so I can start wearing them again.
