Hey guys, welcome back to my channel.
Welcome back to a brand new video.
This is gonna be in preparation for Black Friday,
which is next week.
Deals start to come in from around about now, I would say.
Honestly, the best deals that you can get,
especially for Christmas gifts,
is around the Black Friday sales to Cyber Monday sales.
So Black Friday is officially,
I think it's the 29th of November,
and it's like an American tradition.
After Thanksgiving, it's the day after,
people go out shopping, literally at like midnight.
They queue up, doors open, people go wild.
It's slowly creeping back here in the UK,
but I feel like the best deals you can find are online.
And one of the best that I find for fashion,
is Pretty Little Thing.
They do monstrous deals for Black Friday.
So I picked out some of my favorite items.
They are kindly sponsoring this video,
which is just mind-blowing to me.
I can't believe that I'm working
with Pretty Little Thing on this video.
So they have very kindly gifted me these items
to share with you guys,
and essentially prep you for the Black Friday sales.
So keep that, I don't even know the official sales yet.
It's that under wraps.
So I will list all the information
and links to these items down below,
should you wish to purchase them yourself.
Be sure to use the discount codes available.
Without further ado, make sure you're ready.
Sit back, relax for this video.
Let's get started on my pretty humongous,
Pretty Little Thing, Black Friday haul.
Got there eventually.
But the first item before I get started
with the clothing is shoes.
I think these are boots, are they?
Yeah.
I've been after some ankle nude boots,
which I don't really have other than stiletto heels.
So I was after some more wearable heel height.
And I feel like this is a nice chunky heel,
but quite understated because it is Perspex.
So I opted for these in a UK seven.
So I did size up.
Let me just try them on for size reference
for you now quickly.
Yeah, size up.
I always do this on Pretty Little Thing.
I'm like in between sizes though.
I am like a six and a half,
but you know not everyone does half sizes.
So I opted for a seven and they fit perfectly.
Oh, I like them.
Cute.
So let's go in with the biggest item I can see,
which is a very fluffy, cozy looking item.
Oh my God.
This is so soft.
Okay, so I sized up in this one, yes, to a 12.
And it is the coziest, most gorgeous beige coat.
This is like a proper teddy color.
Do you not think?
The beige tone of it.
Oh, I love this.
Okay, so I know this is for you guys one of the first,
no, I think it is the first item you're seeing.
But obviously for me, I've tried everything on now.
I'm doing all the try on clips
after filming the entire video.
So I know what's coming up.
You guys don't yet.
But this is my favorite thing from the haul.
So incredibly soft.
I am so happy I picked this out
because oh my God,
this is literally this softest coat I own.
I love it.
It's actually not that thick.
So it's definitely one that I would start wearing now.
I sized up to a 12.
So there's plenty of room within the sleeves and everything
for me to layer up with jumpers like underneath
and hoodies if I want to.
Okay, next up, I actually got a set.
So I got a pair of trousers with a blazer
in this rich, creamy kind of color.
It's a nice tailored, smart looking blazer.
And it did come with the matching trousers
which are cropped slightly.
Are they cropped?
No, they're not cropped.
Ignore me that.
Yeah, they're called cream cropped trousers
but they don't look cropped for me.
I'm five foot six for reference in the try on bits
when you can see me actually try these on.
And I'm also typically a size 10.
So I did get a size 10 in that.
And I did get a size 10 in the blazer too.
Okay, this pantsuit, I love the color.
It is a gorgeous, like I said,
really rich, creamy kind of color.
Which I think is more flattering than a stark white,
just saying.
I just think it's the same when it comes to jeans as well.
I find my more flattering jeans
are the ones that are an off white.
I think it makes it look more expensive as well.
The blazer is nice.
It's not how I imagined it would be though.
It's designed to be worn done up,
which I wasn't expecting.
So you can see there's this little clasp here
to keep it done up pretty much the whole time.
So I mean, it's nice,
but it's just not what I was expecting.
I guess you could easily take that clip off
if you didn't want it on.
Because I do love the button paneling here on either side.
I love the fact that it's a little bit tapered,
makes it look a little bit smarter.
The trousers are a little on the bigger side.
So if you're in between sizes, I would size down.
They're a good length.
Nice length to sort of cut across your ankles.
Nice barely there heels.
And then I've got this blazer,
which is called the White Faux Leather Oversized Dad Blazer.
I did get this in a small
because it is already oversized, it said.
So it is, as you can tell,
a nice, rich, creamy kind of color again.
And I don't have anything like this.
It's kind of like a shacket, I suppose,
because it's warm enough.
Because it's the faux leather material,
it's warm enough to be worn like outside as an outerwear
with maybe a jumper underneath or laid with a hoodie
or just a T-shirt if it's a bit warmer.
So I like the look of this
and it's like nothing I already have.
If you saw my vlog recently about my capsule wardrobe,
I'll leave it linked if you were interested.
I had a bit of a wardrobe rehaul, rethink, clear out,
and then I just wanna stick to things
that I know are gonna be wearable for a lot of other people.
I really like this faux leather jacket.
I feel as an alternative,
I'm just gonna lower you a little bit,
as an alternative to the blazer to these matching bottoms.
This could be quite a nice
if you're wanting more of an oversized blazer.
However, I probably typically would wear this with jeans.
I feel like the faux leather,
I don't know if I'd want too much more leather,
so maybe not leather pants.
But yeah, jeans I think would be a nice,
like just a staple vintage blue wash,
no, vintage wash blue denim with these
would look really nice.
Maybe a basic tee and if it's a bit colder,
I'd throw a hoodie on as well.
But it's very oversized,
so stay true to size with this one and you will be fine.
Okay, I was also after more bodysuits in that video,
so I picked up this one.
This is the stone racerback thong bodysuit in a 10.
Nice and plain and simple.
I'd say it's more cheeky than thong to be honest with you.
This for me, this bodysuit
is like a typical everyday bodysuit.
I love the high neck, but it's not too suffocating.
Love the color, nice and neutral.
I was after a new good nude one anyway,
so this is a thumbs up from me.
I also picked up this bodysuit again in a 10.
This is called the Ecru second skin
square neck sleeveless thong bodysuit.
So if you've ever tried the second skin range,
it's like a double lined material
that is really, really kind of soft, but slinky.
So this is a thong bodysuit.
How beautiful is a square neckline?
I really, really like it.
I think it's quite classy and sophisticated
if I do say so myself.
This Ecru colored, creamy kind of colored bodysuit
is beautiful, I love the color of it.
I would wear this joggers, nice and simple and casual,
or jeans and a heels to dress up a bit
and then maybe throw a blazer on over the shoulders.
Okay, I'm actually so excited to try these.
I have been living in leather trousers
and leather leggings already this season.
So to switch it up a little bit,
I have opted for a chocolate brown pair.
I'm hoping I'm gonna love these
because it adds a nice sort of alternative to a black.
I did pick up these in a size 10
for reference when trying on
so you know what they look like.
If these fit, these are gonna be a winner.
They're not the perfect fit,
so I'm again gonna exchange these for an eight
just because they're a little bit big on the waist
and a little bit on the legs.
So I just feel like I have lost a little bit of weight
so in my mind I'm still like,
I'm a 10, I'm a 10,
but I do think I'm that hybrid like in between the two.
If nine was a size, I'd be a nine.
That's typically what I am.
Having said that, it is the Christmas period
so I'm about to go up a size probably
with the amount of food that I'm gonna be eating.
I also opted for a black pair just to try them out.
I like the seam down the front there.
It's like quite a flattering seam.
In a size 10, good old staple black
to add to my black collection.
I literally do live in black leather leggings
and leather pants throughout winter
and our winter is pretty prolonged in the UK
so no more justifying needed.
Okay, these leather leggings,
unfortunately these are a full size too big for me.
They're too big on the waist
but also there's plenty of space
within the leg area as well
so I am gonna exchange these for an eight.
I feel like once on and in your right size,
these are gonna be amazing.
There's plenty of give and stretch to them.
They're so comfy.
They're like, you know, you could squat in these.
These are gonna be a good staple legging
that you can go out, have a nice big meal
and not feel too restrained in
just because of how stretchy the actual material is.
So I love that.
I love the paneling down the leg but do size down.
When going through my sort of capsule wardrobe,
one thing that I noticed that I was missing
is a good like white shirt, just very simple.
I was thinking a real basic one
but actually this is quite a nice one.
Size 10, let's try it on.
So this is the plain and simple crisp white shirt
that I've been after for a while.
I probably tuck this into like jeans, high-waisted jeans
and maybe even like just do a half tuck
or open completely and this is the length of it
and I would wear that with leather leggings.
Get my words right.
I just sneaked in one extra pair of leather pants.
Now these I had last year in white.
No, was it last year or two years ago?
I can't remember and I trashed them.
I think the color of it was probably the reason
but I have now got the black pair.
I don't know if they're exactly the same.
They look pretty much the same and feel the same
but these are far more heavy-duty
than the other two leather leggings
that I picked up in the black and brown.
These are leather trousers.
These are for the really cold days.
So it has nice zip hardware detailing and also piping.
You can see there the like stitching contrast.
So pick these up in a 10, let's try them on.
Okay, these leather pants are so thick
and like expensive feeling
that I actually feel like you need to size up
if you're in between sizes in these.
I mean, these are a 10 and you know,
I get them on and they're fine on the waist
and everything, there's a bit of room.
So they're okay but I do feel like
these are gonna be more of a casual go for drinks,
you know, stood up, mingling
rather than a sit down three course meal
because I feel like I might be a bit too restricted in them.
I got this bodysuit as a dupe
to a couple of more expensive ones that I have seen online.
And this is a little more dressy.
I feel like this would be nice with some leather pants
and some heels or even heeled boots,
either barely there heels or heeled boots
for like drinks with your friends.
It does come in other colors.
I went for the nude and I got it in a size 10.
It's part of the shape range as well,
which I'm always a fan of the shape range.
I feel like they really cinch you in.
Hourglass your figure, no, silhouette your figure
really nicely.
And it is a thong as well, which is a bonus.
And it has poppers, which is another bonus.
Big, big fan of this bodysuit.
I love this mesh layer.
I am seeing it everywhere at the minute.
I'm a big, big fan of it.
So this one is a really reasonably priced one.
Love the thin spaghetti straps.
I feel like they're a very classic look.
And it doesn't have the ruching on the back.
It's just plain and simple.
It's that same mesh fabric though.
It just doesn't have like the excess, which I like.
I would rather it just be on the front anyway.
And yeah, I just think it's a nice bodysuit
that can be dressed up for an evening.
So I would highly recommend this one.
This is another bodysuit in black.
This one is ribbed and it's a high roll neck.
So adds another dimension
to my ever-growing bodysuit collection.
Like so, a nice high neck.
And it is a thong body as well.
This I picked up in a tan.
So I bloody love this neckline.
I just think the roll neck or turtle neck
is quite a like chic look.
It's one that I'm looking at investing a little more into.
I feel like as part of a capsule wardrobe,
it's nice to have a piece like this in winter with a blazer.
And especially in the autumn transitional period
when it is a bit warmer
than it gets in typical real cold winter winter.
To have the no sleeves but a blazer is a nice option
as opposed to having a high neck
or roll neck with long sleeves.
Then it can get a bit too hot.
Whenever a bodysuit is ribbed, I really like that.
Cause I feel like it makes it feel
a little bit more expensive and premium.
So this is a, it's a good one for me.
It's a good staple to add to my wardrobe.
And then last but not least,
again, just to switch it up a little bit
and add an additional bodysuit to my bodysuit collection,
but this time in a rich chocolatey brown.
This is actually far darker than I thought it would be.
Can you even see that it's brown
or does it look black on camera?
But it is actually a chocolate brown,
but a real dark, rich, deep chocolate brown.
Again, a thong body in a size 10.
That is very dark, isn't it?
I've never seen a brown that dark before.
It's verging on black, to be honest with you.
Okay, this is the chocolate bodysuit.
Same as the nude one, which I had.
And it is a very dark chocolate.
You might be able to see on camera
the difference between black and chocolate.
I don't know if you can see that.
Yeah, I think you can.
So I quite like that.
I like the fact that it's verging on black, but it isn't.
It is chocolate brown.
And again, it just adds that element of difference
to my bodysuit collection.
It's also, I feel like chocolate
is a little less harsh than brown.
And I feel like chocolate brown,
no, it's a little less harsh than black.
And I feel like chocolate brown works well with blondes.
So I have a really nice chocolate brown trench coat
that I love as well.
And like with the brown leather leggings,
it just, it's something different, you know?
Less harsh, same with makeup.
I always find like a brown smokey eye
is less harsh than a black smokey eye
on someone with maybe fairer skin, fairer hair.
So yeah, thumbs up from me.
Okay, so this is my favorite bodysuit,
which I didn't actually unbox
in the main section of this video.
Duh, I left it in the bag when I emptied out the bag
just to check everything was done.
Right at the end, I noticed this.
And it's probably my favorite one.
I love the high neck.
I love the sleeve length.
Again, it's so different to anything I have already.
It's, you know, because I've got like black loose fit T-shirts
and I've got vest bodysuits, but not a T-shirt one.
And that's high neck.
So this, I think I would typically wear
either joggers day to day like so,
or with leather pants for an all black outfit look
with a black blazer over my shoulders.
Maybe black court shoe or black boots
for a bit more casual.
I feel like it's quite sophisticated to have that high neck.
And it's very stretchy and breathable.
So I've got it over my head easily enough
without having, you know, when you've got makeup on
and it's just a struggle.
This wasn't too bad.
So there you have it.
That is everything that I have picked up
from Pretty Little Thing.
These are my top picks and new additions
to add to my capsule wardrobe
and my kind of simple understated look to my wardrobe,
which is very monochromatic, neutral,
not much pattern, not much color,
but that's just the style that I love.
