Thank you :)

Hi! I know, unfortunately when I went over to Europe last year I fell in love with Zara! Seeing everything here is terribly overpriced (and seasons behind), even with the fees and shipping costs I have to pay for to get the items, it is worth it in my opinion! I would send you a PM, but thought this might be helpful to anyone else looking at the thread, sorry its a bit long everyone! Keep in mind the only way I've found that works (for me at least) is to have the same person custom purchase (so they place the order for you) and forward the parcel when they receive it, because my credit card won't let me enter another address for billing - and of course it has to be a UK address because Zara UK doesn't ship outside the UK. Briony from Briony Buys UK is brilliant: http://www.brionybuysuk.com/, who I found on the Australian Vogue Forums. So basically you contact her on her website, let her know the items you're hoping to order along with size and colour details. She will send you an invoice for the order (£10 (her fee) +pay pal fees (depend on how much you are ordering value-wise) + the order value + shipping fee that zara charges). Once you've paid, she will forward the confirmation email of the order to you, then when it has arrived will let you know the second amount you need to pay (shipping to Australia + her fee for repackaging & consolidating (zara posts in boxes) and sending off (£5 I believe) + pay pal fee). You can always ask her prior to ordering how much she estimates the items will cost to ship from her to you/the total cost. If you plan on doing a large order that is more than 2kg, it is more economical to use a courier like FedEx, though unfortunately still pricey! Briony probably won't reply if you contact her till after Sunday (our monday) because I know the last few weeks she's been very busy. Keep in mind that the extra fees (shipping etc) do add quite a bit onto the order, but isn't that just testament to how taken advantage of we are over here! Hope that helps a bit, feel free to PM me for anything else.

THANK YOU!!! It's so very kind of you to provide all these details. I had a look at the Zara UK site and I think that even allowing for shipping and costs, the final price would not be more than Australian prices - in some cases it will be cheaper. My issue with Zara here is that the range and availability of sizing drives me nuts! Whenever I do see something i like, chances are that they are out of my size anyway! I think that living in Aus, you need to be a savvy shopper to get the clothing you want. I'm so glad that You mentioned how you purchased your Zara items - it has opened an extra avenue for me! Thanks again! Xoxoxo

You are very welcome :D glad I could help! I definitely agree, in the end I just got sick of it and now I shop a lot less in store because clothes, jewellery, makeup etc are all so much less overseas! Other countries just don't realize what we have to go through!

Just got this new piece in the other day. The pockets kind of poof out a little at the hips (from the fabric for the pockets inside) but not so much that it bothers me and because I looooove pockets!

I'm wearing my bathing suit top here since I plan on wearing it this way when we go to Hawaii. Other times I'll probably just wear a black, lacy triangle bra.

Here with a body necklace to pull in at the waist to give it a little shape

I also just bought this top that I've been stalking and I can't wait to get it!

You look very nice as usual. Is the jumpsuit true to size? I really love it but my concern is Im 5'4 and it might be too long. How tall are u, Mia?
Thanks!

Thank you! :flowers: I'm almost 5'11" and I bought the S. As you can see it's the perfect length for me so you will definitely have to get the hems taken in. When it comes to Zara sizing it is very TTS. It's a little roomy in the chest but I'm a 32A so everything is roomy for me. Because it's a loose and comfy style it doesn't bother me.

I'm super happy! It's really cute and looks like it costs way more than it is! ;)
