Zara Home opens in Canada and we were there!

Last week, our associate home editor Julia Black was at the opening of the first-ever Zara Home store in North America at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. The next store to open is in Laval, Quebec on August 29th. If you're not in the Toronto or Laval area, not to worry -- the global retailer has launched its Canadian e-commerce site, so you'll be able to shop their products across country. Note: To celebrate their online shopping site they are offering free shipping across Canada until September 30th. 

About Zara Home: Their home collections are about 70 percent textile based: bed, bath and table linens, as well as cushions and throws. You can also shop their tableware, storage baskets, picture frames, and furnishings. And with new items welcomed into the store and online every two weeks, there's always something to look forward to. Click through for a quick preview of what to expect and a few interesting facts about the global brand.
