Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
Today is, woohoo, Primark haul time.
I will say, though, that this trip around
was Manchester Primark, and I was in a mad rush
when I had to go in, so I haven't actually tried on
any of these bits, so it was like,
it's gonna be a process of trying on
and actually seeing how they fit, how I like them on,
and then potentially some things may go bad,
I may keep things, I want your guys' opinion.
So rather than just do try on cutaway clips
as I'm talking through, sat down with you now,
what I will do is actually cut away to me
trying them on and talking you through them
once I have them on.
That's how we're gonna do this video.
So, if you're not already subscribed,
please do and give it a thumbs up
if you like my Primark hauls.
Don't forget to hit that notification bell,
and I will also leave the links
to my other social media channels down below.
Okay, so I have a big brown bag,
a big of the white plastic bags, one of them,
and then this little one, because this one
was bought from Burnley Primark.
So I just picked up two things when I went in recently.
The first one being my first pair of PJ bottoms.
I actually had a pair of gray and white ones
for, I'm gonna say, maybe two, three years.
They lasted me a long, long time,
but I threw them out last year because I just needed,
you know when you wear pajamas so much
that they become especially Primark quality?
They do wear.
So even if I were to change these out every year,
I'd be happy with that.
So I bought these ones.
These are navy and cream, as you can tell,
with the cute little reindeers on and Christmas trees.
And these are part of the cozy range.
So I always wear the cozy leggings that they do,
but also the velvet lined ones, which are incredible.
I will be stocking up on those
probably next time I go into Primark.
But yeah, I just will pair this
with a nice cozy navy jumper or cream jumper
and wear this lounging around the house
on days that I'm working from home.
Or, of course, snuggly Sundays,
which I'm actually filming this on a Sunday,
but Tom's working, so I'm in the work mode.
And I thought, sit down, get comfy.
I've got a cup of coffee over there
and film with Primark,
which is one of my favorite things to do.
I've got them in a size medium
so that they're a bit more oversized and comfy,
which are a 12 to 14.
I'm typically like a size 10,
but I do prefer them to be a little more comfy.
And they were only six pounds.
I also picked up from Burnley Primark
these set of earrings, which are just,
they caught my eye.
I wasn't after any earrings in particular,
but I love the size of these hoops.
And there's three different styles.
These bottoms are so soft.
Honestly, super, super soft.
Medium, I probably could have got away with a small
because they are a little bit baggy,
but like I said, I want them to be comfy and slouchy.
And sometimes when things are washed as well,
they might shrink a little bit.
So I'm still happy that I went for a medium.
They're still fitted at the bottom,
if you can see there.
I just want to put my slippers on,
grab a hot chocolate now,
get cozy in bed and watch Netflix
and just chill all afternoon.
And it is Sunday after all,
so I think that is what I'm gonna do.
And these ones have like a little twist to them,
which are my favorite.
These are the ones that really caught my eye.
This necklace is by Aurelia, if you're interested.
I wear, I love their jewelry.
And these are a pair of the earrings
that I picked up from the Burnley Primark.
If you were wondering where they're from, Primark.
Okay, so moving on to the big bags.
I think I'm gonna go with this one first.
This little cropped top with a little knot detailing here
in the very on-trend snake skin.
And it was only five pounds.
I got it in a size medium.
I'm intending on wearing these
with like high-waisted black jeans.
That's kind of my vision
and maybe some ankle-heeled boots.
Okay, this top is very cropped.
I didn't realize it was gonna be like as cropped as it was,
or as it is, I should say.
I don't mind it,
but these are like on the verge of being a bit too low for it
like I wouldn't want my belly button to be on show
if I was wearing a crop top like this.
And I do like crop tops,
but I'm glad I got it in a bigger size
because if it was smaller,
it would be like, I think, more extremely cropped.
But yeah, with something high-waisted,
I don't know, I like it.
What do you guys think?
Moving on to the next item,
I got something which I feel like if it fits and I like it,
it's gonna be a well-worn item.
So it's a black high-neck jumper.
I really love the neckline of this
because it's not a turtleneck,
but it is really high and I love that.
So it's probably one of my favorite neckline cuts.
So I got it in a size large to be oversized,
which on me would be oversized,
but it's a typical 14 to 16 at 10 pounds.
I think it's gonna be long enough for leggings,
but I'll try it on and let you know what it looks like on.
They did have different colors of this as well,
if you are interested in getting it yourself.
I really like it.
It feels so soft.
I was hoping it'd be a little bit longer.
I'm not gonna lie.
So I think I maybe would just wear it
like with jeans tucked in like that, maybe.
Next up is something that Lydia pointed out
and was like, this is very you.
And it is, so I picked it up.
It's a cozy knit jumper at just 13 pounds.
I got it in a size small, which is 10 to 12.
And this is what it looks like.
So it's like a cable knit, which I love.
Again, roll neck.
So I feel like this is a layering piece in winter
with leggings, boots for a nice long countryside walk
with a long sleeve top underneath it to layer.
This is so cozy.
Oh, it's so festive.
Yeah, I really like this.
I like the hoops that I paired it with,
which obviously Primark.
I know I've got it on with jeans right now,
but you could, like I said, easily wear it with tights,
not tights, leggings and boots.
And equally, you could just like kind of tuck it up like so.
I picked up some of these.
They're called the Sport Footies
and these are the best ones.
So I wear these when I wear my trainers,
like my Adidas trainers, not workout trainers,
not when I'm going to the gym,
but just for like fashion, if you know what I mean.
So I picked up some in black, which I actually don't have.
And then I also picked up white.
These are three pound 50.
They do do cheap ones, but get these
because they really do last and stay on.
There's nothing worse than getting these kind of socks
and they come off whilst you're walking in your shoe
and then you have to take off your shoe to put them back on.
Anyway, these are really good.
Okay, this is so soft.
Sticking with the Cozy Knit Jumper.
This one's 13 pounds.
I've got it in a size medium, which is 10 to 12.
And oh my God, this is like a chenille
kind of velvety velour fabric.
So if I'm sticking with just one and I'm being ruthless,
then I'm feeling like this could be the one I stick with.
But I do really like the cable knit.
I might just keep both.
We'll try them on and see what I think.
But this is another turtle roll neck style jumper.
This one's not as long, but it is longer at the back,
which is what I really like.
So I'm going to try that on and hope that it fits.
Okay, this jumper I am a big, big fan of.
I love the material of it.
It's so soft.
If I try and show you a bit closer up
so you can see that kind of like velvety shiny sheen to it,
that chenille kind of material, that's what it is.
It's nice and soft.
This is the length of it, front and back.
So it does just go below my bum
if I wanted to wear just leggings and boots with it.
But I'd probably more likely pair it with jeans.
And also what I'm really loving at the minute,
midi skirts, like silky satiny midi skirts.
So I've got one from Urban Outfitters in black
that I'm yet to wear.
So if I wear that, I think I might pair it with this jumper.
And then I also picked up this, which I saw on its own.
So I don't know where these were actually placed.
So I just went with this one.
So it is in a large, but it was only eight pounds.
And again, it's like a cream color,
but it's in like a velvety velour fabric again.
So it's so soft.
I may even just wear this like round the house
with these like leggings.
So excited for Christmas.
It says Brooklyn there, which I love that font.
Brooklyn doesn't really mean anything to me.
I have been to America and love it,
but I don't think I've ever been to Brooklyn.
So maybe that's a sign that I need
to book a little trip and go.
But yeah, I just thought that it was just a super cute
jumper and cozy, cozy.
And at only eight pounds, I thought that was a bargain.
Well, it's official.
This is my coziest set I own this year so far.
Okay, so moving on to like more coats and things.
I did get this one, which I've had my eyes on for a while.
I've seen in other people's Primark hauls,
yet to have seen it in store myself until now.
So I picked it up in a size small, which is 10 to 12.
It was 20 pounds and it is like a teddy coat,
but a shorter one, which I don't already have.
We'll try it on and see what I think.
Okay, oh no, I'm gonna keep all of them.
So I wasn't expecting to like this jacket as much as I do,
but I really like it.
I actually like the fact that it's cropped
because, well, when I say cropped, it's a shorter jacket.
Like if you can see at the back there,
like these are high-waisted jeans
and the top of them is there.
So I would only really wear this jacket
with this kind of an outfit, i.e. jeans, a T-shirt,
some trainers, similar.
And again, another thing that I've seen
and wanted to get my hands on was this.
Reason being is because I had this
in like a black charcoal kind of color.
Last year or the year before,
I can't remember when I bought it,
but I have worn it to death.
I've worn it so, so much that I figured
to get a lighter version is a must.
It's 25 pounds, it's a little bit more premium for Primark,
but I got it in a size 12.
They didn't have a 10, it was between eight and 12,
and I kind of wanted it as a little bit more oversized,
and Lydia sort of swayed me towards that as well
because if you think when it's really, really cold,
you can layer thick jumpers under it
and you've got plenty of space.
Again, nice length.
If I did just wanna wear leggings and a jumper,
then it cuts me off at a nice length
rather than it being really, really long or cropped.
The inside is this gorgeous faux fur, super, super cozy.
I'm envisaging this at Christmas markets
with mac and cheese toasties,
which they do at the Manchester ones, which are incredible,
and waffles and pancakes and hot chocolate
and all that kind of stuff.
And also it's cord, which is very on trend.
Okay, as predicted with this jacket, big, big fan.
I just feel like this is gonna be
even just like a throw-on jacket,
which I know it's like, oh, I need to take this label out.
I know it's almost like too nice
to just be a throw-on jacket.
I'll definitely be keeping this one.
I knew I would be anyway, like even before picking it up.
I've seen loads of people wear this,
and I really was like umming and ahhing
because I do have a long teddy coat already,
but it's not in this color.
It's in this kind of color.
So I went for a brown one.
And the woman who was on the checkout,
she was like, oh, you could go as a bear for Halloween
and dress up in this as fancy dress.
And I'm like, I'm gonna be wearing this all the time
because it's so cosy.
I got it in a size eight at 30 pounds.
It is premium for Primark again,
but 30 pounds for a coat when you actually think about it
is not bad at all.
Look at me putting it on already,
like it's just irresistible.
You have to.
Brown is another really, really on trend color this season.
And I think it will continue in to winter.
It's a little short on the arms.
Yeah, I really like this.
Now I've properly stood up and tried it on properly.
I'm a big fan.
I don't know, does it work with the blue?
Maybe I would just wear like an all black outfit,
black jeans instead of blue jeans.
Or like even white ones,
like an all cream outfit underneath would look really nice.
It's gonna be a winter coat.
I'm absolutely boiling.
I wanted to pick up more homeware bits.
Really having to get into this bag.
I wanted to pick up more homeware bits,
but I just didn't have enough arms to carry it basically.
So I did pick up this homeware piece
that really stood out to me
as a very urban outfitter's home kind of looking piece,
which is what I always think of whenever I shop homeware.
I'm like, would urban outfitters sell that?
Yeah, they probably would.
So I'll buy it.
Or Anthropologie is another one that I really like.
So this was only £2.50, a little vase.
I thought a sprig of eucalyptus
or something coming out of that
would look really, really cute and minimalist.
And I love it.
Okay, so that is everything that I picked up.
Thank you so much for watching this haul.
I hope you enjoyed it.
As I said before, give me a thumbs up if you did.
It would mean so, so much to me.

would like to see from me in the near future.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you again next time.
Bye, guys.
Let me just check my laptop.
Let's crack on with the video.
My arm's shaking.
This little baby paper one,
because this one was actually burnt,
bought from Burnley, let's try that again.
Not mean comments, don't be mean.
I know the more you wash it, and the more like,
I really stumbled over my words there.
Let me just rephrase.
I know the more that you wash it,
the more it wears a little bit more.
That doesn't make sense.
Okay, forget that.
Let's move on.
Oh, right, I'm gonna try on these now and cut.
Right, so now, I think I'm obsessed.
And don't forget, and if you are,
