When I first came to Lima about 17 years ago I had to bring everything with me. There was no where to pick up a new top or bikini. If my favourite shampoo ran out then I just bought what was available locally.
The clothes were limited to surf shops or boutiques where all of the clothes were nylon.
Now as well as the local boutiques selling the Pima cotton I have Zara. What a comfort blanket that is.
There are three Zara stores in Lima which I think is just amazing. Yesterday we took a trip to One of them and I found a few pieces to top up my beach wardrobe.
This was my wish list of everything I had seen on the Zara Peru website.
This green ruffle skirt did come home with me and I will be wearing it often. This white ruffle sleeve tee works perfectly with skirt. I also bought it in lilac and may go back for the black. I didn’t find this embroidered shirt so I may have to visit the larger store next week! I did see this shirt and I didn’t buy because I couldn’t try it on. Now it I want itmore than anything and it’s in the shopping list for next week. I really want this tie die vest so it’s on my shopping list. I saw this dress in black in store but the white is so much better for the beach. Another one for the shopping list. I had this gorgeous open back top in my hand and didn’t buy it! Why I ask my self? I have already bought these wide leg track pants in the UK but I am hoping to find them in store here. Yesterday I wasn’t successfulbut I may have better luck next week. I really want these sandals. They are rubber so they are perfect for living at the beach. Fingers crossed for next week.
I am quite sure that if I go to the larger store next week I will think of so many holes in my wardrobe that need filing. (There is always an item or two that can change your life!) I will keep you posted.
I have always had a passion for fashion and travel. I work as a personal shopper/stylist. On this journey I want to share everything that I love and that gives me light. This could be anything from fashion to healthy eating I am sure it will evolve along the way.
