ZARA HAUL AND TRY ON | Hello October

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. How are we all? I hope we're all doing really, really well. Today I have a Zara order for you. I know it hasn't been a really long time since my last Zara haul that I did. I showed a few bits that I picked up in a vlog. Some of them got sent back, some of them I will be keeping, but they just dropped a lot of stuff on their new in section and it is so good. So I added a lot of stuff to my basket. This wasn't just, oh, I'm gonna pick a few things up and try these. This is like the haul. You know when you order some stuff and you just know, you know, well, I say that. I hope I know. But anyway, I picked up a few new bits and they actually arrived within a couple of days, which is outstanding for any delivery ever at the moment. So mega, mega impressed with that. It's meant to come on Friday. It is Wednesday today. This arrived yesterday. I am a very happy girl right now. So without further ado, let's get into this. I'm excited. There are a lot of neutrals in here. Anyone else love the fact that you can now get into a Zara box without having to use scissors? Because I really love that. I actually forgot there is not just neutrals in here. I know, I know. We have trousers, people. I'm so excited to try these on. These are like wide leg pleated cream trousers. I'm pretty sure I picked these up in black as well. I got these in a size small and I think I got the black ones in a small as well. Zara is a little bit hit and miss at the moment when you are on their website. You can put something in your basket and it's in stock and then you get to the checkout and it's like gone. So some things I do have in like random sizes, but only if I think I can make it work, if that makes sense. I think these would look gorgeous with like a white crop top, a bikini top, even a white kind of linen-y shirt, that kind of thing. I think I basically just listed everything that you could wear trousers with, but what I'm trying to say is that they're very, very versatile piece and I'm really excited to try them on. I just hope that they're not too long on me. I think I'm looking at myself in the mirror and holding these up to myself. I think they might be a little bit long, but we'll see. So like I said, I also picked them up in black. I think what I might try doing, I don't know if this will work, but you never know, it could work. I've seen some people with wide leg trousers knot them at the bottom because they are obviously like, there's so much material, you could tie them in a knot and it kind of like brings them up a little bit. So I am gonna give that a go. I got the black pair in a small as well, as I thought. So yeah, I'm gonna give that a go with these and see if that helps in terms of the height, if they are a little bit long, even if they're not a little bit long, I think that could be a really cool way to wear them because it kind of makes them a bit more of a, almost like a jogger style, if that makes sense and could help to casual them down a little bit or even if you're just not a fan of flares, it could be an alternative way to wear them. So I will give that a try. So these are the trousers. They are definitely a little bit long on me, but I'm gonna show you a way to bring them up a little bit. If you are just a little bit too short for them, what you can do is just roll this over once. And I think that works really well at bringing it up. I would have to do it about three times and then the crotch, which is like about there, would then start kind of digging in some places that you don't want it to dig, if you know what I'm saying. So yeah, that is not an option for me, but I think for everyone else, it could definitely be an option, but you could definitely bring these up and have them in more of a jogger style, which I will show you, or you could have them taken up. You could wear them with heels. I'm just very, very, very short. And these will just, even if I am in heels, they will be too long, which is kind of sad, but I can still make the most of them. And I'm gonna style them on the way that I saw on the website. So this is how you could kind of bring them up and make them more of a jogger style trouser. The way I saw them on the website was actually with the knot out. So it kind of sat like that. This is cute and I quite like it, but I understand it's not necessarily something that everyone is gonna go for, but I think it's kind of cute. So yeah, you can just kind of tuck it, have it like that, which I think is actually a little bit more clean and I feel like most people would prefer, but if you do ever end up with, maybe you're gifted a pair of trousers that are too long for you, or you just can't get to the tailor in lockdown, then this is definitely an option if you end up with a pair of trousers that are too long for you, just as a way of kind of making them do for now. So that is the cream pair of trousers kind of tucked under. Let me know what you think. I know this will definitely not be for everyone, but like I said, it's just a way of making them do for the time being, or if you're just a shorty like me, but you kind of like the look, this is how you can do it. I love the black trousers. These are so cute. I think I'm definitely gonna see if I can invest in having them taken up because they are just the perfect fit and they skim my hips so, so nicely. I really, really like them. So once lockdown is over, if I can find someone to tailor these, I 100% will. They're just kind of like a little bit odd on the hem. They're not a raw hem, but they're just not very thick, if you know what I mean. So I don't know how easy they'll be to take up, but I'm definitely gonna look into that because I really love these. These ones I would say are actually a tiny bit shorter. I don't know if it's because black dye tends to shrink things a little bit. So it could be because of that. And I probably could get away with rolling these up once and wearing them with a pair of heels. But I think just for everyday wear, I will definitely look into having these taken up. And this is them rolled up and tucked. I think when I look at the black pair, I definitely prefer them tucked. It just looks a lot cleaner. And I think this also makes them great for lounging around the house without too much material getting in the way as well. So if you do find, I have a few pairs of linen trousers, which I do just sometimes feel are a bit too much. They're still great for posturing around the house, but sometimes there's just a lot of material going on around your feet because they are just very large and flowy. So I think sometimes if wide leg trousers annoy you, this is definitely a little technique to try. Yeah, they're very cute. I love the black pair. Love it so much. Then we have this pair of trousers. I'm so excited about these. I think these are a little bit shorter. They're almost like a, what do you call it? Like a Hessian bag style material, but not because Hessian bags feel disgusting. And I have a real, real passionate hate for them. They just, you know, when you touch something like, you know, some people don't like touching cotton wool. I don't particularly love touching rough things. Those bags also kind of smell a little weird. And I don't know if that's why as well. I don't know. Anyway, this is a really irrelevant conversation, but these trousers are kind of that type of colour. And they also have like a texture to them, but they're not too rough. They're actually, I think they'll be lovely to wear, but they're basically like a cream colour. But when you look at the detail up close, the thread is like woven and there's like darker threads running through it. So they just make this really lovely, like natural, neutral colour. I thought these could be perfect in my wardrobe. I think this would look lovely just paired with a simple black body or a black crop top. Oh yeah, there's a crop top, I think, in this haul, which would look really, really great with these. So yeah, a really lovely pair for summer or just lounging around the house in general. All of these trousers are just so great for lounging. So yeah, you know, that's one of my favourite pastimes. I just think they're the most lovely colour and texture. It's just so beautiful. And again, if you're in and out of the garden on a hot day, they've worked really nicely with like a black bikini top as well. Just something nice to like throw on on your bottom half if you kind of want to be a bit more covered. These are the more kind of natural coloured trousers. I really like them. I think these might actually be my favourite pair of the bunch. I think I got these in a medium, so they are a little bit loose. Annoyingly, I bought the small, but then had to cancel my order. And then when I went back, I just had to get a medium because the website had like registered that I'd bought the small, but I hadn't bought the small. And I was too impatient to wait in case the rest of my order went out of stock. But I think I might pick these up in a small just because they are like a little bit roomy. And I find that they just sit a bit lower. I would love for them to sit here. I think that would be perfect. And I think they've got enough material on the hips and the leg length to kind of still fall really nicely over my hips. And I just think this would be a really nice point for them to sit at. So they kind of naturally sit around here, which I just like having my belly button covered. I don't have a weird thing about belly buttons, but I like for mine to be covered. But because of that, I do think the length is a little bit, I don't know, I feel like they should be a bit more like here. But because they do sit so low, they kind of hit exactly like a normal pair of trousers, which is also kind of cool because they're not obviously meant to do that if you're average height or above. So yeah, it kind of works out well in that way. But if you did want to bring it up, if you're a little bit shorter or you just prefer a crop length, I'm going to show you how I would. So I'm going to use a scrunchie for this, which is not ideal, but it's what I have to hand. This is so weird. But basically the leg length of this means that you can't really tie it in the way that you could with the other trousers. So what I would do is get my scrunchie, pull the material. Sorry, my feet are on show. My feet are so grim without regular pedicules. Yeah, I would just pull it up like that. And again, they sit in a similar way to the other wide leg trousers I showed. You could probably try and use this technique on the wide leg trousers as well, but you would get, because there's more material, you would get a lot more bunching here. And I kind of don't think that would look as cute. I think the tie technique works better with the wider leg trousers, but the hairband technique works really, really well on these. And I think it just gives you a little bit more angle, which is sometimes quite nice with a more baggy trouser. But each to their own. This is definitely more of a personal preference thing. And I would probably gravitate between the two depending on the look. I think if you're wearing kind of less on top, you can get away with just like the more flowy trouser side of things. But if I was wearing like a t-shirt or something or a body, I might go for the hairband on the leg. And depending on what hairband you use, it will work quite well at like really keeping this in place. It's quite a secure method. Whereas the knot technique can kind of fall a bit looser. And the item that I was hoping to style a lot of these trousers with is this knitted bralette. I just think this is so cute. It's got a really lovely knitted tie back. I just think the tie back is so gorgeous. Like I really like an open back on things. I just like having like shoulders and back is I think my favorite part of myself to have on show. I just, I love it. And because this ties at the back, I just think it makes it more of a feature. And I really, really love that. So I think this will be gorgeous with all of the trousers, to be honest. Like I don't think there is a pair of trousers that I'd be like, oh, that doesn't really work. So yeah, very, very excited to style that up. So this is the knitted bralette. I love the back. The one thing I would say, it just made me die. It came with like hanger straps that were just like, where do you tuck those? Like, where would you tuck them? I'd literally have to wind them around my boobs. And then it had a label here, a label at the back and then a tag. And I was just like, there's just a lot going on with this top. So I had to kind of take the risk and just cut it all off because I couldn't even tell if I liked the bralette without all of the like bits dangling underneath my arms. It was just so weird, but I really, really like it. I love the knitted effect. I don't know if you can really see it very well. There you go. Yeah, anyway, angles you didn't need to see me from. But I love the back. I haven't done it up in a bow. I've just kind of left it tied and hanging. I kind of prefer it like that. The bow just felt like a bit too much and it's quite a bulky knit really for a top that's so small. So it just felt a bit too much tying that in a bow. I also like the fact that it has adjustable straps. That definitely made this a winner really. I don't think the fit would be anywhere near as nice if I hadn't been able to adjust this. This just would have been a lot saggier. Yeah, let's roll with that word, yeah. Actually slouchy, let's roll with slouchy. Slouchy is a better word. And then I have another crop top, which is more one that I think, actually I think this could go with quite a few of the bits. It's this lovely white ribbed crop top. I don't know if you'll be able to see on camera, but there's like a ribbed texture to it. And then it's got the frill along the top, bottom and shoulders as well. I just, I love white. I really love white in the summer. You guys know, I just, I feel like I am a broken record, but white in the summer is my favourite thing. And this is just a really lovely crop top that is, I know crop tops are a little bit like, I feel like they have a certain vibe that comes with them, like a bit of a Kardashian's vibe, which I love, but I know it's not for everyone, but this is like one of those crop tops where it's a little bit more feminine, but without being too ruffly. It's just very, very simple, very versatile and very wearable. And I really liked that about it. I think it would go really nicely with the cream coloured trousers. It could even go with the more neutral coloured ones as well, but I just thought this was a great basic to have in my summer wardrobe to wear with my mass collection of trousers. So this is what the white top looks like on. I think this is so cute. I tried it on with the cream trousers and it looked okay, but again, the cream trousers were that kind of like, obviously creamy, kind of like off-whitey colour. And I always just, I think I've said this time and time again, in my Zara hauls, because it's a recurring kind of cream tone that crops up with Zara stuff, but pairing white with it just doesn't work. I personally don't think it works, but actually having this white with shockingly a black pair of trousers works really, really nicely. And I've thrown my Chloe sandals on just to add a more natural tone into the monochrome mix. That's one of my favourite things to do at the moment, rather than just have like black, white, and then a black pair of shoes. I think having like a natural tone on the bottom just really helps to kind of elevate it a little bit. It just makes the whole look a little bit softer and ties in really nicely with the frills on the crop top and the pleats on the trousers. It's a very like soft monochrome-ish, monochrome-ish kind of look. I think this is going to be a really nice little staple in my wardrobe for summer. I also wanted something to go with all of the kind of trousers and crop combinations that I've been seeing and liking, and obviously ordering. And one thing I did see on Zara was like a shorter, not cropped cardigan, but definitely a shorter cardigan in its length. It was quite fitted, I guess. And I picked this cardigan up in a small. One thing I find in the summer is I love wearing my trousers and my crop tops, but then I go to leave the house and a denim jacket just feels a bit too like oversized and just a bit too like, I don't know, it just feels a bit wrong. And then a leather jacket sometimes feels a bit too dressy or a bit too warm. And I really struggle with what to throw on over the top. You could go with a blazer, but for me though, it's just a bit too smart for the vibe that I have really been enjoying. So I thought I'd pick this cardigan up and I've not had a black button up cardigan in my wardrobe since maybe I was at school. It's been that long, but this one is such a soft ribbed knit. It's so gorgeous. I'm really, really happy with this actually. It was a whole 19 pounds, which is an absolute steal. And I think it will work perfectly with the knitted crop and then the black trousers, especially if I do the tie thing at the bottom. I really hope that works out. You'll know better than me because you will have seen it already. But yeah, I think that would look really, really cool with like a pair of like dark shades. My hair could have pulled back maybe into like a looser bun just for a real like effortless vibe. I think that could be really cool. This is the black cardigan. I've rolled the sleeves up. I do think that in hindsight, obviously when I'm planning outfits and I'm looking at the Zara website, I'm normally looking at models that don't have boobs and I kind of forget I have them. So with that in mind, this outfit, I would probably wear one of my crop tops that just goes straight across just because I think the mix of a cardigan and then this much boob around is just a weird mix. So I'd probably go for my crop top that just goes straight across. So it'd be a lot cleaner, but I really like this vibe of like the cardigan with the black trousers. I just think it looks really cute. And with a pair of like Chloe sandals, it would look really nice as well. I also like wearing it. I think you will have seen me do this literally like a few minutes ago, but I quite like having it buttoned up, but then off shoulder, I think that looks really, really cute and works really nicely with the trousers as well. I also picked up a bikini. I don't often pick bikinis up off of Zara. I think there was one that I got a couple of years back and it had a flamingo on it and it was like one shoulder and it was very cute, but I loved the cut of this bikini. I think I said in my last vlog, which I was filming yesterday, I was talking about swimwear and I showed a bikini that had like thicker straps and I was talking about how I really liked that. And as you can see, that theme is definitely following me. I really like how low cut this one is, but the straps are so thick that you feel like you're still quite covered. I really like that. And the back is the exact same. So there's a bit more back on show, which I think is really, really lovely. This one would pair really nicely with all of the trousers as well. So the bottoms are like this, but they have almost like a gap, but they're high-waisted. And I just think that if I've got the right sizing and they're cut right, I think it would be the loveliest fit. And I just really love a high-waisted bikini. And that one was just a little bit different to everything else that I've seen at the moment. And as you guys will know, I just love swimwear. So that was how that happened. I'm gonna put it out there. Just on what I'm seeing in the mirror, I obviously need to see this on my computer screen to kind of make a full decision. That's what I do a lot of the time. I don't know if that's weird, but this has to be one of the most flattering bikinis I have ever owned. I am obsessed with this cut. This is gorgeous. I really like the big straps on it. I just, I love it. I actually love it. And I think this would work really nicely as being a top as well. If you're away or you're just in the garden and you're kind of like chilling and then you wanna throw like a pair of trousers on, the black pleated trousers would look amazing with this. And this kind of passes as like an actual top. I really love it. I wasn't sure what to expect because Zara aren't exactly known for their swimwear. I do really like it. And I like the bottoms as well. I pulled them up just to sit above where I start to curve outwards just to kind of make the most of that shape and make sure we didn't get any kind of like bulge because I feel like there, that would not work. So yeah, I just pulled them up a little bit. I actually really like the cut across the leg and bum. And I think just having that tiny little peep of skin is really cute. And like I said, I really like this kind of V cut. I think it's so, so flattering around your waist. So yeah, I'm very, very happy with this. It might be one of my favourite bikinis I've ever owned. Next up, we have two jumpsuits or playsuits because they're not long. These are gorgeous. So we have a V neck on the top jumpsuit. It goes into a wider short and then it's also got a tie waist as well. These are so hard to hold up but I'm really excited to try these on. I hope they fit well because I had to get a medium. And hopefully that'll be all right because I can use the tie waist to like cinch it in around the waist. And sometimes I think having a size up actually looks lovely if you've got a tie waist because it just looks a little bit more like slouchy. I absolutely love this. I think we might actually be looking at a Zara haul where I keep the majority of things. And that is very rare now. I don't need to sing Zara's praises unnecessarily. They don't need my business. They don't need your business. If I see things that I like, they're staying. So this is staying. I love this play suit. It's so, so simple, definitely not groundbreaking but the cut of this is lovely. I'm really glad that I got it in a medium actually. I really liked having just that little bit of extra material kind of, especially around my bottom half. I think it works really, really nicely. Ignore the tag in the back, but the back is cute. We need to cut out those hanger little strap things because they are just the bane of my life, but this is cute. And I'm very excited to try the green one on. So I got that in the nude and then I also picked it up in this colour which if you are a regular watcher of the vlogs you know I'm a big fan of this colour. I have a skim set in this colour as well. I really, really love it. It's beautiful. So it's the exact same style but just in this kind of muted, what would you call this? It's not quite an olive. It's almost like a muted tealy colour. I just think it's really, really beautiful. And I think it's a colour that looks lovely on a range of skin tones as well. And if you're someone that mainly wears neutrals but you want to kind of dip your toe into colour I think this is a lovely place to start. So this is a small, the nude version of this that you saw before was a medium. And I'm actually surprised at how much I still like this in a small. I was kind of thinking I really liked the other one maybe only because I've got it in a medium and I really liked the way that it hanged from my body. But actually the small is just as good as well. I would love to know your thoughts too but I actually don't think they're too different. So if you're wondering what size to go for then hopefully this is helpful in some way. You can definitely get your regular size. I would kind of say that a small is my regular size in Zara now. So even though I have a medium in the nude one I wouldn't say you need to size up. And if you are struggling with the availability of sizing a little bit hopefully this will kind of help you make a judgment call. But yeah, I love the colour. So cute. Fit is so nice. And the length I think is perfect. And would work well on a variety of heights as well. It is quite long on my leg compared to a lot of like other play suits that I would wear. And if you're smaller, you can kind of roosh this up a little bit and kind of make it a little bit shorter for your height if you wanted to. And I also picked up this jacket. I almost forgot about this when I was talking about jackets. This is like a, almost like a shirt blazer. It looks like a blazer, but it's very, very lightweight. And I just think this is gorgeous. And I really liked how it was styled on the website. I think it would be really nice thrown over the crop top and the black trousers. And I would also throw this over like little white dresses and stuff as well. And I just think it's really cool. I think it's down to the shorter sleeves. It just makes it look a little bit more like really effortless and I wouldn't wear it with the buttons done up. Although you could wear it with the buttons done up and wear it as a dress cause it is, well, I could cause it's quite long. But I generally wear it quite open and almost like an over shirt. And I think it would look so cool. So very, very excited to style that up. I got this in a size extra small to small and it is quite oversized. So you could size up if you wanted it a bit longer as well. So this is the shirt jacket. I just think it's so cool. I paired it with the crop top and trousers whilst they're rolled up just to kind of give you an idea of how you could style it. I'd maybe go for a slightly less booby crop top with this but I still kind of think it works cause the shirt is kind of a little bit more smart. I mean, let's face it, it's not the sexiest item in the world that we've ever seen. So the crop top does kind of help to just give it a bit more like something. And I think it works really nicely for the summer as well. This with my Chloe sandals on my feet. I might actually grab them and show you. So these sandals or my Chanel sliders as well, which are black would both work really, really well with this outfit. I really like it. I love this shirt. I think it's going to be a really great staple in my wardrobe over the summer. I'm excited to get the steamer out on it. Look at that. I think it looks so, so nice with a white dress underneath as well. Maybe like a white lace dress just to kind of add a little bit of an edge to it. I think that would work really, really nicely. And then finally I picked up these three pieces which make a full outfit. And I just really wanted to give it a go because I love this colour at the moment. I always sit away from lilacs because mostly because it's my Nan's favourite colour. And it always just felt a bit like it's my Nan's favourite colour, you know? But I do love this tone of lilac. I think it's so beautiful. And I saw these shorts and I love them. And I was thinking about what I could pair them with. And you could do these with like a nude body and just go very, very simple or a black crop top. But for me, I just wanted something that was a little bit more pulled together and like a full outfit, you know? So I picked up this shirt. This was pretty low in stock, if I'm honest. So I don't know what the state of this stock will be like when this video goes live. I picked this up in an extra large. It's not that large at all. So I am actually quite glad I didn't go for my regular size because I think this would have been quite small. And I didn't mind going for something that potentially had an oversized fit on me because I planned on tucking it into the shorts anyway. So it would just be like very, very oversized on top. And that's actually kind of cute. So I picked this up. It has really cute pleats on the back. I don't know if you'll be able to see. And it is a little bit see-through, which I really liked as well because the shorts aren't as see-through. They're also slightly varying shades of lilac, which I kind of liked. I just thought that that made them not look like a play suit, if that makes sense. But it ties them together really, really nicely. And the shorts are lovely as well because they are a slightly different material too. So it just kind of breaks it up, but ties it together all at the same time. I'm hoping it will look good. We'll see. And then I also picked up some shoes to go with it because I just think it's a pretty difficult colour to kind of pick a shoe to go with. I would probably, if I didn't go for these, would probably go for my Chanel sliders. They're almost like a jelly material. And I think that goes quite well with this because it's kind of a fun outfit. And I think those sliders, as much as they're like very plain and simple, are like a bit more fun. I think I associate that texture of them with like jelly sandals from when you were a kid. So the whole outfit would just be a little bit more fun. But I also picked up these. I actually do these in a few colours. And I would say they're quite a good high street jeep for the YSL sandals that I have that are kind of woven on the top, but just obviously a slightly different shape. But if you wanted the same effect, I'm pretty sure they do these in a tan and a black, I think, if my memory is right. But they're a very good jeep anyway. And I thought these would go perfectly and complete the look. I did get these in a size six, a UK size six, just because they didn't actually have a five. But with sliders, I can get away with sizing up anyway because they do tend to rub a little bit. So yeah, that is enough waffle about the shoes. We shall see what they look like on. I know some people are gonna hate, but I think this is cute. Shoes are so cute. Oh my God, I just, I love it. And you know I love a colour when I have a matching bra. So you guys did not have to see my nipples today. Not once, I don't think. So this is probably the first video in a while where I've actually worn a bra, but let's ignore that. Even though I highlighted it. I love this. I think it's so cute. I know that it's not for everybody. Not everyone loves a one tone look. But I think this is so cute. I just really love it. I love this colour. It is just the sweetest colour ever. And I actually really like the fit of the shirt with it being a bit oversized. I think if you wanted to go one or the other, like I said, you could pair these shorts with like a black crop top or even a white shirt. You could pair this shirt with white shorts, with black shorts, or just like a cute pair of linen trousers if you wanted. But I think with a pastel colour like this, I really love just making it all one look. I think it looks so cute. It's such a statement. But it's also so summery and it's just a really sweet look. I really love this outfit, it's so cute. And you could pair it with a pair of nude heels as well if you wanted to wear this kind of out out in the future once we're released. I think this would be like a really cool night out outfit if you wanted to wear a bit more colour. Do I have a bag that goes with this? I'm actually like contemplating like, can I wear this on a night out in the future? I think it'd be cute to have a matching bag to this. But if not, you could go for something neutral. I think a nude bag would work perfectly as well. It is just so cute. I really like it. I don't think I'm gonna be able to send anything from this haul back. This has probably been the first Zara haul in a long time where I just don't think I'm sending anything back. So that is it for today's Zara haul. I really hope you guys enjoyed this. Let me know what you think I should keep and return in the comments below. I hope you're all having a lovely day and taking care of yourselves. And I'll see you guys again soon.
