Thank you for sending in your Substack ideas — there were SO many good ones! I’ll definitely be working on them ASAP. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss a thing. In the meantime, here’s the number one request: my top 10 Zara picks of the week.
1. Starting off strong. If you read my summer fashion predictions Substack, you know I’ve been expecting lots of lace moments. I had this exact dress in black on my wishlist forever, but it never came back in stock — so I’m SO excited to see it now in brown. I’ve already seen so many fun and unexpected ways to style it, so expect lots of inspo from me.
2. Staying on the lace trend. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect lacy, feminine cream cami that didn’t break the bank — and this one checks all the boxes. I sized up for a more flowy fit. TBD how I’ll feel about it in person, but I had to share it now before it sells out. I also love how it is styled here!
3. If you want to recreate the exact outfit above (or just want the perfect butter yellow trousers), these look perfect! I own a very similar pair that you all love, and they are so fun to style.
4. This polka dot skirt instantly reminded me of the viral Damson Madder mini dress — the one everyone’s styled as a skirt. A true 2-in-1 if you get creative.
5. Back to one of the pieces I purchased myself… This halter top has been sitting in my Zara saves for weeks, and I finally decided it was time. It just looks so chic and easy to style — plus, it’s completely backless.
6. These heels give major Jimmy Choo vibes — they’re super similar to the sequin sandal everyone’s loving right now (minus the four-figure price tag).
7. Finding a good bangle stack is harder than it should be — they’re either sold out, the wrong color mix, or irrationally expensive. These just came back in stock, and I bought them for myself.
8. Full disclosure: I’ve never bought swimwear from Zara before, but this one is seriously calling my name.
9. One more polka dot moment because I am actually obsessed with the look of this one. So chic!
10. Last but definitely not least: you all have loved my Reformation navy satin pants, but I know they’re pricey. Zara just dropped a similar pair for only $50! They’re super easy to style year-round. Full disclosure—I haven’t tried them yet, so I can’t vouch for the quality or how they’ll hold up long term. But I want to make sure I’m sharing affordable options with you as much as possible!
That’s it for today! So many more fun Substacks coming very soon — Nordstrom sale finds, Mango top 10 picks, wedding guest dresses, Euro summer inspo, wardrobe staples, my favs in every category, educational content… ALL THE THINGS. Make sure to subscribe to be in the know!
As always, THANK YOU for the support! Happy you’re here. xx Ivana
