This Sunday vlog features a nursery update and a comprehensive Zara haul. The creator showcases a new electric recliner for her baby's room and reviews a variety of fashion and home items, focusing on versatile pieces that transition from pregnancy to postpartum. She also reflects on the physical and emotional changes of her third trimester and prepares for her baby's arrival.
I'm having a very relaxed Sunday today so I thought I would pick up the camera
and show you a Zara haul but in my comfy new chair in the nursery. Our first kind of big piece
furniture that we've bought for the nursery, we bought a different one which we're keeping
downstairs but this is like a much better size for this room because this is a box room.
Hello guys, welcome back to my channel. How have I not said hello to you yet? We just jumped
straight into it today haven't we? I think I'm just in that such relaxed mood. I kind of feel
like I'm in a vloggy state of mind. Yeah, feeling chatty today but yeah, my new chair which is so
comfortable. I could sleep in it. It's a recliner as well, electric recliner. Oh, just relax. I
could go all the way back but no, we're here for a video today to share with you some Zara
bits that I've ordered. I've got some home and fashion bits. I will leave everything linked
below and before we jump into the haul, this video is kindly sponsored by FlexiSpot who is
the company that has brought this into our nursery. So I'll do some more like close-up
visuals of us assembling it and showing the details up close once I just sit here and chat
you through them. The first 50 orders of this chair have a little welcome gift included. This
is baby's first picture book that's, well actually we've got some black and white ones but this is
the first colour picture book and it's we're going on a bear hunt. Classic. I've been advised
that in the nursery a good option to have is some kind of comfortable chair for the time and the
hours that you will spend in the nursery, potentially during night feeds. To have a chair
like this which does actually recline and is very comfortable, could even sleep in it.
It's that comfortable. I thought it was a good option to have in this room. It's probably one
of those things you don't realise how much you need it until you've got one. So this is the
belly swivel and rocking chair and of course recliner nursery chair as well. Sometimes I
just walk past this room and just sit in this chair because it's quickly become one of my
favourite spots. I'm kind of visualising where I'm going to have everything in the nursery.
Definitely need obviously cot, changing table, maybe a couple of shelves with some hanging
rails because I don't think with it being a box room we'd have enough space for like a wardrobe
per se. So we need some good storage with drawers and then this actually also has storage on the
sides as well. You've got a little armrest which comes with a fold out cup holder. The armrests
increase, they go up, they come to the side so ideal for whatever you find more comfortable
position for feeding. They also slide back and forwards. So yeah, very versatile, very soft as
well, very padded and comfortable. I went for the bare cotton colour but they also do a colour
called warm cacao which also equally is beautiful especially for anyone after some
like neutral colours for a gender neutral nursery because if like us you don't know the gender of
your baby we're keeping things fairly neutral in here until baby's here so that we can add
some touches along the way but with baby not necessarily being in the nursery from the get
go anyway I thought it'd be nice to have a base decoration in this room furniture wise but then
we can add our little touches as we go before baby transitions into nursery at sort of like
six to twelve months. We'll just see how we go, who knows how long baby's going to be in our
bedroom for, we don't know. I'm a first time mum okay, first time parents, we're going to learn
along the way but yeah a chair like this is definitely something that I wanted in this room
whether it's for feeding, reading, sleeping, settling the baby and just sitting down for
silence. The seat is really nice and spacious as well, both Tom and I very comfortably fit in this,
plenty of support so it really is one of those items that combines practicality with a really
beautiful design and I can already see myself spending a lot of time in it so I thought I would
mention it here at the start of today's video, link it below. Thank you of course to FlexiSpot
for not only providing this chair for me but also for working with me today's video.
She's big, it's just actually filled with glassware because we had a recent clear out
of all our glassware in our kitchen and the one thing that we were lacking were flutes
so we ordered these. I have wine glasses from Zara Home and love them, I love the really thin
narrow stem that they do so I decided to get some champagne flutes, I think there's
eight I think I ordered and then the other thing that came in this box, a little bandana for Barney
for autumn which I just thought was so cute, it's reversible as well, they do three different sizes,
extra small, small, medium, this one's cost us the medium which is the largest size, plenty big
enough for Barney and it comes with the orange gingham on one side and on the reverse the smaller
green gingham on that side. I just thought the tones and the colours of that were very much
screaming a dog-friendly trip to the pumpkin patch and that is everything that I got from
the home so we'll just slide that on out there. Right I've got two boxes from Zara, oh gosh I just
keep rocking back and forwards on this because it's so comfortable. I ordered quite a few
new jackets, the plan is not to keep all of these, I want to do a try on, see how I feel,
I've got some jeans that I got from Soon Maternity that I have kept and that I love and that are
comfortable so I just feel like I could do with some as it gets colder, some jackets, still not
really been wearing jackets because it's still been quite mild here in the UK, too mild for my
liking, I want to feel that crisp cold air where I can put on a big jacket, the odd time I've put
on a jumper I've been like oh this is so nice but then it's ended up getting quite warm and
needing to take it off anyway so yes very much welcoming that cooler temperature but I believe
we are forecast some so when it arrives I want to be nice and prepared. What's going on here then,
oh here we go, I was going to say where's the little tab to open it, if Barney was up here he
helps me open these boxes downstairs. Starting with the jacket, speaking of this one is in a
medium and it's a faux leather funnel neck brown, I want to say like a dark brown like really dark
brown, I did think I could do with some shorter jackets so that's what I've kind of like gone for
with this haul so and that's also what I've been lacking because I don't ordinarily go for this
sort of style. Do a little try on and link it for you, there's only one other item in this box,
it is a shoe bag or should I say boot bag, I love the fact that they come in their own like
duster bags, they're shoes, I thought I could do with some fresh new like flat comfortable riding
style boots like this and I thought these were pretty reasonably priced, it has got a little
buckle on the edge, not too much detailing and it is gold and they are a slip-on, oh are they,
yeah they are a slip-on, they do look quite wide it's just if I get any swelling or anything like
that if I'll struggle to get my legs in them, I haven't had any so far touch wood but honestly
every day at this point there's a new pregnancy symptom so who knows if I start getting that
um towards like well in the thick of a third trimester then
boots like this may be a little less practical but let me just try on for now
imagining with a thin, oh they're already feeling pretty snug on my legs, I naturally have quite
wide calves anyway so this is like without swelling so I might have to return them,
I always have this problem with my legs, I feel like my legs are my biggest part so
like my dewberries that I love wearing in winter and autumn, I have them in the wide calf version
because it's just, it's just something that I was born with, funky legs, I had about eight rolls on
each leg when you look at any baby photo of me or young toddler photo of me waddling along,
that's how I feel now, waddling along, uh so who knows our baby might be the same but
yeah unfortunately these are feeling a little snug as it is, not to worry that's one saving
that my bank balance will be happy for, okay this next box is the heavy one, oh come on,
I'm stuck, all right we're in, we are in, another jacket, I think that's why it's heavy because
there's a few jackets in here, this one is also a faux leather, this one's a slightly lighter colour
neutral, again kind of similar in that it's like a bomber crop style, it's like a soft comfortable
feeling faux leather, I say faux leather is it faux leather, this one's got the kind of like
shoulder detailing on here as well so I'll show you that one on, we've got another dark brown
this one's more of a softer suede feeling, this garment will lose dye and colour may
rub off onto lighter colours, there's your warning, only £59.99 in a medium, um this one
has a bit of a gathered waist but optional so it's a tie that goes around here and then on the back
it has that gathered bit so it will cinch me in a little bit but ultimately there's going to be a
big bump so I might even tie that at the back and like I said have this bit open, these are all
things that I was buying with the intention of uh obviously there's no point just buying other than
jeans and bottoms, just buying maternity for the sake of a couple of months when you're at your
biggest so this is more a haul that I could see you know things that are last post-pregnancy too
and then I've also got this one I think so far this one will be my favourite it's kind of like a
trench style which you can fold the neck up and again have this trend led
funnel style neck and it's a lovely creamy colour nice for um brightening up an outfit
so what else do we have got a set a nice comfy lounge set where are the buttons to this
here we go this is I've just seen a baby item that I forgot I got oh okay stay tuned for that
uh but yeah this lounge set is perfect it's exactly what I was thinking I was wanting a
lighter weight fabric that is nice and loose I think I went for a large in the top yeah I might
got away with a medium instead maybe because like I said I'm thinking about that gathered
fit being sat above bump and then just kind of like folding it over with this pant being also
in a large and a stretchy waistband but below bump or above actually we'll see how it fits
then I got this more like wool felt feeling jacket which wouldn't be the most practical
in the rainy weather but we can always put an umbrella with it I like the fact that the hardware
on this one is silver because I'm probably again leaning more towards silvers and cooler toned
materials like that but this one again has that kind of like slight bomber style bottom
also in a large I definitely oh that was quite affordable definitely say this one doesn't look
as oversized naturally as the rest of them so I'm glad I sized up to a large in that one this I
thought would be a really nice kind of like throw on top that you could layer with a long sleeve top
underneath again would be nice post pregnancy and loose but during pregnancy when I have a bump to
sit slightly above bump and just have it more of like an off shoulder because if you can see that
the neck is really slouchy that you can wear it slightly off one shoulder off both shoulders have
a more cowl neck cowl back okay we've got a black number oh I think this is just a yeah it's kind of
like a asymmetric high neck slightly higher on one side lower on the other you see the asymmetric
bottom uh throw on which again nice and thin and lightweight you could layer over a long sleeve
black top and have it look like a a top that's built together or with uh no sleeves have your
arms exposed where with the leggings even I can't wait to show you this baby item right okay we'll
keep going this knitwear one of my favorite ever knitwear pieces from over the years I re-wear
every single year is from Zara so I'm always on the hunt to find a similar option that I know I'm
just going to live in for years and years so uh yeah whenever they bring out a new design I'm
always like I'll try it I'll buy it and see if I'm going to love it just as much this one is in a dark
gray really dark gray and it's again kind of like an open cape style I've got this one in a large
also in a large we've got this just to remind myself what this one is oh yeah it was kind of
oh I don't know if I like the color of this actually now that it's arrived again it looks
like it's gonna be too like warm toned for me and wash me out which is a shame because I thought
this could be a really nice like draped design top that would feel lovely and it really does feel
lovely I think I'm gonna hate the color on me oh I did get a basic just a little basic white tee
I don't have any v-necks and I saw this one I have to see how fitted it is on the oh it might
be a bit too fitted for me I'm bump at the moment what size did I get a large
oh so hard dressing a new body it's like a mind game because there are certain things that I feel
really good in and other things that I just look at myself and go it's actually quite scary seeing
how much your body changes and don't get me wrong I love my pregnancy body I look in the mirror and
I'm so grateful that what my body is doing is capable of doing that but it is scary because
you just don't recognize yourself in the mirror anymore everything looks different
hips are bigger bums bigger boobs are bigger bigger belly is obviously bigger my belly
button is non-existent anymore that's gonna be basically an outing skin hair face everything in
fact a lot of people said that you had guessed that I was pregnant through my face and I was
like what so I put on a lot of white you can just tell I don't know but just everything is different
hair skin nails it's crazy what your body is capable of and how many changes your experience
in pregnancy this is such a gorgeous fabric this is a zip top but the zip goes across the neck like
a high neck but all the way down the sleeve so again this will be better to show you one it is
fitted around the waist so I again was thinking of wearing this above bump like that will sit when
I'm pregnant above bump and then when I'm not pregnant anymore it will sit a bit lower down
but sit higher and then kind of like fold over so again to wear with high-waisted things or
yeah high-waisted even like leggings and nice heeled boot or something okay we ready for the
cutest thing you ever did see in nought to one month I could cry this is the cutest set
ever I mean look there's barely any fabric to it nought to one month
oh babe why could baby clothes literally make me cry it's because I just can't imagine that
I still can't imagine that I'm gonna have a baby in this I might it's like a mental block
for picturing our own baby in the things that I'm buying for baby crazy uh yeah
11 pound for the leggings now I'm imagining those first initial months baby grows are going to be
our best friends and we have got a few zipper ones which a lot of you have recommended uh
so yeah I'm imagining they will be the staple uniform for our baby however on the odd occasion
maybe we've got friends visiting family visiting we're maybe going out and about and we just make
a little bit of an effort we put baby in an outfit I thought I could do with one outfit
that I really love that is obviously gender neutral so adorable and also versatile because
you could pair this sort of like leggings even just with like a basic white long body
and a little pram suit or something oh like a little teddy bear given that we've got winter
baby coming oh it's just mental to me that that's gonna have a baby in it and then the top to come
with it the top to go with it I should say how how is that possible this is actually the first time
I will say that I'm looking at baby clothes and thinking yeah okay that looks small where I've
been buying a lot of nought to three months sometimes they look quite big and I'm like well
that's gotta come out of me so seeing a nought to one month it's a bit more reassuring but that's
gonna come out um and this is yeah just a simple little crossover again in that same kind of like
knit fabric I have to say this could be a coming home outfit I think of all the things I've bought
so far this one has a place in my heart I love it could argue that it's a bit more girly given
that the crossover is a little bow or you could even not bow it I don't know how else you would
do it though you kind of have to bow it don't you oh do you know what actually if that came in a
grey I would 100% get it because again with baby having our jeans most likely I think Tom and I
we both have the same colouring so I think the grey I'm gonna love baby in grey um and again
I'm sure baby will have blue eyes because both Tom and I have blue eyes I wonder if it
skips a jeans any people out there know the science behind eye colour will our baby given
that we both have blue eyes have blue eyes or is there a chance somewhere down the line if black
if brown runs in the family I think my dad's side has brown eyes I know my dad has really blue eyes
though but I think his mum had brown eyes I think and his sister my auntie I think they've got brown
eyes but anyway if that's possible who knows I just can't picture that but I'm just imagining
blonde curly curly hair given that that's what both of us had as kids growing up as youngsters
I think Tom was born with slightly darker hair than I was mine was white um but his did lighten
and then yeah both of us have blue eyes Tom's a darker blue mine are more of like a greeny blue
but anyway who knows a few months and we will find out that is gonna go ahead and conclude today's
