My home must-haves from Zara Home:

a cozy throw // gorgeous curtains with decorative tassel tie-backs // pretty napkin rings

a statement side table // sleek and functional trays // an interesting rug

Zara Home launches tomorrow online in the US! I've posted about the store before, and I'm so excited to be able to purchase items without having to fly across the Atlantic.

Great timing, too, because I just started my Christmas shopping last week! (Don't think I'm too organized- normally I start my shopping early and then manage to forget to do all of my wrapping until the night before.)

store spotlight: zara home

There are some stores that put out images I'd love to just crawl into. Zara Home does this to me often with its luscious Parisian style. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough suitcase space to bring stuff back when I went to Paris earlier this year, but working at a company that has EU offices is definitely a plus - might have to have some things brought back for me next time someone takes a trip!
