Current Favorite Store | Zara

Hey everyone! Today I will be sharing with you my favorite store at the moment, which is Zara. I have recently been loving the TRF / Trafaluc collection at Zara which is basically a teen clothing line and not only are the clothes great quality but the prices are much lower at the moment. All in all I think Zara is such an amazing store because the clothes are high end but also more casual and just overall look more put together and nicer than other brands. In addition, Zara has almost every thing you need, from shoes to clothes to accessories to perfumes! Since Zara is my current favorite store fashion wise, I will be sharing with you some items I recently purchased from there. AKA a mini haul + why I love to shop at Zara.



First, I purchased these stretchy, navy blue jeans which have slits above/over the knee. These jeans are so comfortable which is the main reason why I liked them so much, but they also reminded me of the Top shop jeans with the knee slits which are super cute and fashionable at the moment.






Next, I bought two high neck tank tops for the summer and warmer weather. These style of tank tops are really in-style right now and I love the shape of them and how they fit on my neck and shoulders. I also love the design on the white tank top and it flows really nicely on the sides.








Finally, I got two new dresses! I love wearing dresses in the summer time because they are such an easy and effortless outfit to throw on. The first dress has a pop of color which I felt like I needed for the summer and for my closet. It's also super soft and the material is stretchy and light. Then, I got a little, black dress made out of t-shirt type of material. I thought this dress was unique and you can never have too many black dresses! 









So, I hope you all enjoyed this new, fashion post and you got some ideas of what's in Zara right now and current fashion trends. Also, I am hopefully going to be posting AGAIN this week on Sunday since that is our moving day :( to reflect on my time here in Switzerland. Until then, xxx

Exam Study Snacks!

Hey everyone! As most of you are probably on summer - I hope you're enjoying your break. However, my school still has a couple more weeks and our exams are coming up quickly so I decided to share with you some healthy snack ideas that are great for studying in general. If you're already on summer, then these snacks are also a quick, healthy snack that you can have anytime of the day. In addition, all of these snacks take under 10 minutes to make to save you time in your studying.

Peanut-butter, banana, chocolate toast
The first snack is one of the most well-rounded and probably the most beneficial for studying. It contains peanut butter to give you protein, banana for potassium, and dark chocolate for an energy boost and a healthy brain to keep you going. Overall, it's the perfect snack for studying because it keeps you full and provides you with enough nutrients to give you an energy boost for revising.

In this snack, you need to make some wheat toast, spread on peanut butter and sliced banana and then top with dark chocolate chips.



Popcorn
Next, is a pretty basic snack but I think popcorn is such a great substitution for chips! You can add extra toppings such as parmesan or salt on top but stay away from adding any extra butter because it will turn this light snack into more of a movie treat.



Berry fruit bowl
Finally, I have a berry fruit bowl - you can also add some yogurt on top to make it a more filling snack. Berries are proven to be great for memorizing and improving your learning capacity. They also contain tons of antioxidants and are ranked as a 'super food'. All you need for this snack is any berries of your choice and some optional yogurt or granola, however I think just sticking to a huge bowl of fruit is your best option.



I hope you enjoyed these exam study snacks and either use them for studying or just for a refreshing summer snack. Thanks for viewing, and remember all my social media is in the sidebar along with tons of other gadgets you can use such as following my blog. See you next week, xxx
