If you’re a regular reader of ShinyStyle then you’ll know how much I love online shopping. It’s quick and easy and you can do it any time of the day.

I’ve been known to spend a fortune in the wee hours of the morning when insomnia has taken its toll (well beats watching re-runs of Jeremy Kyle).

However one shop I haven’t been able to attack is Zara. I’m not sure why but these Spanish brands don’t like to put their items online (Mango has only just recently made its fashions available to UK users through Asos).

But there’s good news (not for my credit card) as Zara has announced that it plans to launch a transactional website, so we can buy the Zara range online for the first time across Europe and the UK.

The estimated launch date for the retailer’s website is the middle of next year meaning we fashionistas will be able to buy the autumn/winter 2010 collection from the comfort of our beds.
