ZARA HAUL & TRY ON! SPRING/SUMMER EDITION | Suzie Bonaldi

Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel. I'm really risking looking like a floating head today. I'm literally blending in with the wall, but I am really excited to be back. Little Zara haul. I picked up a few things because I have some upcoming trips coming up. However, lots of these bits, I think, can be very UK appropriate if styled up slightly differently. So hopefully there's a little bit of something for everyone in this video. But I know so many of you have said you need some inspo for upcoming trips. So hopefully I can help a little bit here. It's definitely a colour palette, it's a very me colour palette. I'm excited to try it on, see what works, what doesn't. I have a few visions for things, so I'm really excited to test those out and see how they look on. So I know if you haven't watched my last video, I picked up a lot of like daily basics for warmer weather trips. So definitely go and check that out. If you are looking for more like hot weather stuff. This is kind of like a little bit of like warm weather stuff. But then there's some bits that can definitely be worn like in the UK or in the evenings or bits like that. So if you're looking for like the real hot weather stuff and like my swimsuit recommendations and the ones that I picked up for this year, then definitely go and check out my last vlog. I've also thrown a couple of bits in here that I actually haven't had a chance to show you in the vlogs at all yet. And I'm so excited to show you those and style them up as well. So without further ado, let's get into it. Outfit number one, you're going to have to excuse me because at the moment because sometimes my boobs behave themselves and I have like fashion boob. And at the moment they are just being outrageous. So they're being outrageous in this dress. And I was really hoping that the situation would have like sorted itself out by now, but apparently not. It's a really cute dress. It fits really well for the most part. But I think like my boob to body ratio is just slightly off at the moment. And it's not fitting so well across the chest. Like it's to the point where the material is turning out slightly here because I think it's just a little bit too much for what the dress was designed for. Because the rest of the body, it fits really, really well. Like over the leg, there's a lot of room, but across the chest, it's just kind of like bulging a little bit. So unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to keep this one. But this is so cute. I really just kind of envision wearing it with like a blazer over the top for like an evening dinner. Cute little like nude little sandals. This little bag, which I love, is from YSL. This is a Cassandra bag. I believe they bought this back this year. And I just think it works so nicely together with a hair like half up, it's very like Audrey Hepburn. But yeah, I just feel a little bit borderline uncomfortable in this. And I don't think it's going to be one for me for this vacation. But it's so pretty. I really wanted to try it out. I was really hoping that my chest would just sit slightly better. But unfortunately not. But it's such a gorgeous dress. I have tried to boob tape as well. It didn't really work just because of the proportions and the amount of coverage that you've got here and across the back is slightly limited. So it just didn't really work so well. I tried like strapless bra, none of the above options were working well. So yeah, this one is sadly not going to be for me. But if you have the confidence for this, go for it. OK, so these shorts are so cute. They come as a set with this little knit. And I say knit, when I saw other people wearing this on Instagram, I kind of envisioned it being like a two piece that I was wearing at the start of this video, which is from ASOS. It's not thick, thick, like winter thick, but it's definitely thicker. It's like a decent knit for summer, basically. But this is much lighter. It's a really fine thread. It's got a little bit more of a like rough. What is my hair doing? It's got a little bit more of a rough feel to it, but in a really nice way, not like a this is going to feel awful on my skin kind of way, but just in a way that makes it really feel like a summer knit. It is so lovely. Like it's a little bit see through. I'm not sure if you'll be able to tell from the bottoms, but I can tell when I put them on they're a little bit see through, but it just means that that knit is kind of like a little bit more breathable, just feels really summer appropriate. And I love that. Like I think these shorts would be so cute as like a pair of beach shorts. You can throw them on over like your bikini if you've just been in the sea or whatever, obviously dried off a bit. But yeah, I think that's really cute. I just love like a jumper and shorts little set, it's just really cute. It's very drop dead red, but I kind of love that. So you can either like tuck or like have it hanging loose, whatever your vibe. I think it'd be really cute with like a pair of sandals, like a pair of black sandals, actually, and then this bag would be so, so cute. Yeah, I really like this. I got it in a size, should have checked this before I put it on, so small. Honestly, originally, I didn't think that I would be keeping both the ASOS little co-ord and this little co-ord. However, they are both so different. I think it could be possible to have both. Do I need both? Maybe not. But they are very, very different. This is so cute, though. I think this is much more on the holiday vibes, whereas the ASOS co-ord, I originally thought, oh, that'd be really cute for like wearing on a flight or like, you know, obviously wearing around the UK. Well, I'm doing a lot of hand action here, wow. Yeah, so I think they both have very different purposes, but are so, so cute. I really love this. And you can obviously pair them with different things. You could pair the shorts with like a black knit. I actually have a black knit that's very similar to this stripy one. Or you could pair the knit with like a little pair of jeans. I think that would be really cute as well, like a blue denim. But yeah, I really like this. What do we think? Let me know. Imagine it's style with a little bucket hat. Oh, my God, I've really put that on wonky, but oh, my God. So cute. With a pair of trainers as well. I think this is so cute. I just love a bucket hat. So I am so excited to share this next purchase with you. It is this gorgeous white blazer. It matches my trousers perfectly. These are my white trousers from Zara, which if you've been subscribed for a while or you follow me on Instagram, you definitely will have seen these before. These are my favourite trousers. I actually own trousers. I actually own three pairs of them. I own different sizes because basically they're my perfect pair of trousers. So as that I need to have them for bloated days, for non bloated days. You know the vibes. Yeah. And then I have a pair that are for wearing with heels and a pair for not wearing with heels or two pairs for not wearing with heels. This is one of the pairs that I've taken up and so I can wear them with my trainers, which is one of my favourite ways to wear them. But they also look incredible with heels as well. But yeah, Carlon Troisdorps, my favourite pair of trousers. I love them so much. And I really wanted like a white suit. I've seen a few looks I really liked involving white suits. And rather than buying or trying to find another pair of wide leg trousers that fit really well and then taking them off, I was like, you know what, I'm just going to try and find a blazer that matches the trousers that I already have. And I think this is a really good colour match. At Zara sometimes you just never know. Sometimes you end up with like an ecru white or a yellowy white or oh God, it just goes on. These trousers are actually like a slightly off white. Sometimes if I put them like with a white body, not the same white, but you would never know unless I put like a white T-shirt or a white body actually with them. But these are a similar colourway. The only way you can tell that they're not part of the same suit set is I have a white button on my trousers and then I have a black button on the suit jacket. In terms of the colour, it works really well. I'm super happy with it. I got this blazer, I believe in a small, yeah, small, it was £69.99, which Zara is like one of the higher kind of price points, I believe, for a blazer, but it's very thick. It has like shoulder padding. It's a really lovely quality. It's definitely more of a spring jacket than the height of summer jacket. However, I think just for like dinners in the evening, my bangs are really displaying me, sorry. However, I think for like dinners in the evening, it would be absolutely fine, especially if I'm just wearing like a bralette underneath, nothing too substantial at all. But also when I'm home in the UK and it's like how the weather is today, where it's just overcast, there's not really like any weather going on, which I feel like is our general summer. I started with a little crop top bralette style thing from Pretty Little Thing. And then I just got my beige trainers. It always looks really, really cute with my Prada sunnies. And then this bag. This is my favourite bag at the moment to wear with a suit because I just think it makes it look a little bit less formal, a little bit more casual, real off-duty vibes, which I love. I have this same suit in like a beige-y colourway and I absolutely adore it. So I'm really happy that the white version is working really well because as so many people know, I love, I just love it. It makes me look so tanned. It's so easy to wear, providing you find the right colour whites that go together. But I love a white and black combo. So you can obviously like dress it up as well. I feel like that's the way, the traditional way to wear a suit. It is quite formal, but I love how the oversized fit of this can really like lend itself more to being more casually. And this is a look that you will definitely see me wearing, especially on those days where the weather is not weathering in any positive way. And whether I'm having a bloated day or a non-bloated day, like I just love an oversized fit like this. I just don't even have to worry about it. So especially for like spending days in London where I have to pack in advance and I'm not sure what's going to be going on or what I'm going to be feeling. A suit has proved time and time again to be like a go-to for me. So the item I wanted to pair with the suit, some of you are going to really hate and some of you will love and some of you will love but not want to wear. And all of those are completely understandable. But I did a thing. I bought the Hayley Bieber replica bralette. I personally am obsessed with it with a suit. And I know at the start of this video, I actually said I didn't like the black dress because it was a bit too, too much. I would argue that the issue with this top in particular is actually that there's too little. But I personally love it. I actually have got some like covers that you can wear with it. Personally, I would go as far as to be sewing myself a lining for this. By the way, I make out like I'm a master sewer. I'm not, but I'm just really committed to a look sometimes. But in my opinion, the covers do just as well. My only argument would be is that these don't match my skin tone particularly well. I mean, they kind of look like they could be part of the top a little bit. But I will definitely be shopping for some that are my actual skin tone. It's so hard to buy them online in your actual skin tone. It's like trying to buy a foundation online. But yeah, they will do for now. But I will definitely be finding some covers in my actual skin tone because this top needs to be worn. And I would like to like be able to take the suit jacket off. But I think it looks so cool under the suit. I actually put the photo of Hayley Bieber wearing this style top on my stories. And I think she was wearing like a leather jacket and denim shorts. I think they were denim shorts. And so many people messaged me saying, yeah, but how are you going to wear them? Because I basically said, like, it's really unhealthy. The speed at which I clicked purchase on a sparkly bra after seeing her in one. So many people said, what would you wear it with? Personally, I think this is an amazing way to glam up a suit. If you like a bralette anyway and you're comfortable in a bralette, this is a really fun look to play around with. I personally am obsessed with it. Like somebody please invite me to something where the dress code is glam because I need to wear this outfit. And so just to show you, this is the back. So it is one size, which I think is ridiculous. So the chain on the back doesn't actually fit me particularly well. Yeah, it kind of clips at the top of the neck. I did try doing it cross back and crossing the two straps over and clipping them to make it tighter. I actually felt like it looked better with a bit more movement underneath the boobs, if that makes sense. I feel like it just makes it a little bit more boho and a bit less glam because it's got this like movement to it, if that makes sense. Yeah. Now's your opportunity. Go forth in the comments and tell me what you think about it. The next item I picked up were these trousers. They actually match with the suit jacket really, really well. These are the trousers that I believe they come in like a multitude of color ways. Like literally like off white and pink, black, nude, like so, so many different colors, like a bright, they do a bright pink. I think they might do a green. They are an amazing fit. I believe these are a small, but I will confirm that in the comments because I actually don't have a tag on these anymore. I've actually worn them out. You may recognize these if you saw my stories where I went to karaoke. I took them out myself. Not all that well, but you know, who's really looking? But I love them with this little pink knitted bralette, which is also from Zara. Some of you may remember this from my last video. I've been waiting for the time to crack this top out. And I think with a pair of white trousers, it is just incredible. I think with like white linen as well, it would look so good. So that is definitely something that I'll be looking to do this summer. But the two pair really beautifully together. I think they'd look quite nice with the blazer as well. I have to be really careful in this top because this top is actually worse than the other one for flashing. Oh, my God. Really cute. This is my way to do colour. Like a slither of colour. I love it. I'm done. I just absolutely love this. The quality is so good. I actually cannot fault these. I think if you are looking for like a new staple pair of trousers, these trousers will be it. Like I want them in black. I want them in the nude. I'm going to have to go back and get all of the colours. And this is actually the top that I wore to karaoke. I love it. However, it didn't wash well. This is the one benefit to having actually worn something before showing it to you guys is that I can actually tell you whether it washed well. I don't think it washed well. Before, it was kind of like the white of the top was like matching the boning. And after they came out the wash, and I'm very good with my white washes, it now doesn't match up. I don't love that. But I think as long as I don't wear it with something white, it's not like super noticeable. Yeah, it's a really cute top. I really like the fit. The zip on the side, I'm not going to lie, is very fiddly. I actually wouldn't recommend doing a lot of like movement in it because I'm slightly intoxicated when I went to karaoke. And I actually had like a slight cut on my side from where the bottom of the zip had like actually just rubbed so much on my skin that it hook up me. Overall, this top would not recommend, but I obviously have bought it, cut the tag off and worn it. So I'm keeping it. And I really do like the fit of it. And I think it works really beautifully with a pair of like blue jeans or like just baggier trousers in general. I really like to offset like a very tight, structured top like this with something that's a little bit more unstructured on the bottom. And these jeans, which are also a new purchase from Zara, I love. So these are like a high-waisted straight leg pair of jeans and I love them. So I obviously, you guys will know I like the wider leg jeans that I've been wearing a lot recently. And I've been looking for a lighter blue pair and I actually picked these up thinking they'd be more of a straight leg than a like wider leg. But I actually think this is like the perfect shape because you'll get that kind of like shaping over the bum and like it fits really well on my hips. Like it's got enough room to eat in, but it's still like fairly tight, especially around like my waist. But over my bum, it's just got a perfect amount of like material in all the right places. But once it goes over the bum, it falls perfectly. It's got that perfect amount of like material over the leg where it's not actually your kind of 80s straight leg, but it's not a wide leg either. And I just love that. I think it's the perfect fit. Super happy with these. I think I will get a lot of wear out of these this summer. I also think it'd be great with this top, which I was going to put on my Depop. I didn't get the chance to take it back in time last summer and I listed it on my Depop, but actually I think they're going to look so cute together. So yeah, I'm going to try that on now. Oh yeah, cute. I think it was fate that this top didn't go back last summer. They look so cute together, just really comfy, casual, cute vibes. I am very happy with this. I really like this kind of combo of trainers, like the slightly wider leg trouser and then a cute little top at the moment. It feels very, I guess, Y2K, like in America. But you know what? I'm not mad about this trend coming back and this being the theme of fashion right now because I just didn't have the disposable income first time around. And I love a cute top like this anyway, but I just really am enjoying this way of styling. I think with a blazer over the top, it's really cute. It feels like it fits my personal style very well. So yeah, I'm just loving it. Like with a black blazer over the top, this is my favorite Zara one. I just think it's so cute. Real comfy, smart, casual vibes and I love it. Then have this blazer, which is like a cropped, I want to say like a linen feel. I don't know if it is a linen. Oh yeah, linen. Okay, cool. I got it in a size small, it was 45.99 and I really wanted a cropped blazer because obviously as we've just discussed, I've been wearing a lot of jeans that are like high-waisted and then wide leg. And sometimes when I'm wearing an oversized blazer, like I obviously love an oversized blazer, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it just feels like I should be wearing something that's a little bit more cropped. And I just wanted to give it a go. Yeah, I'm just trying to try it out. Can you guys let me know what you think? I can't even like, I'm not wearing my glasses and I have no contacts in or anything, so I can't even see right now. But yeah, it feels like it's a nice fit, like oversized sleeves, like really nice color. Love that, the quality feels lovely. It feels light, but not so light that it's like unstructured. It feels like it's got a good structure, like it's got shoulder padding. And I love that. I think it gives like a really nice silhouette because it is lighter, it still feels a bit floaty. It feels like it's gonna be the perfect like crop summer blazer. I think you could also wear it really nicely as like a top as well. And you wouldn't need to wear anything like underneath if you did the buttons, that could be cute. My only reservation with a jacket like this is that my body obviously isn't the average body length being five foot two, and I have quite a short body even for someone that's five foot two. So I didn't know if it would hit a wrong point, but it looks okay. I'm gonna have to look at it properly in a mirror because like this is just not, not the way for me to fully assess. But like, let me know what you guys think. I just thought it'd be nice to have something that isn't like completely oversized and like covering my bum. It might be there's an outfit, like one of it together and it's like with heels and it's a bit more cute. So a cropped blazer just is like a better option. And I think this is a gorgeous colorway to have for summer because it just works so well with like the neutral tops. This is like a really cute little outfit combo. Okay, yes, super happy with that. Next up, we have this really cute little top, which I'm hoping will work really nicely with the jeans I'm already wearing. It's got this lovely little knot detail at the front and then really cute little strappy situation. As I was saying, it goes down into a body and there's little poppers on the bottom, which is fab. I got this in a size small and it was 19.99, which I am very impressed with. It's got like a really nice, it's textured, but it's not a linen. I want to know what this is. It says polyester and elastane, but this texture, I don't know if it'll come up on camera. It's really, it's like a little bit rough. It's really nice actually. I like it a lot. So yeah, I'm excited to try this on. So this top is a little bit see-through in parts that you can really see around where the labels are. You can really see the labels, but I do really like it. My only thing is that it's got this weird little circle area here, which isn't always the most flattering if you have a large chest, but what I would say is it has enough hold that I've been able to kind of just like move my boobs slightly. And it doesn't give you that weird squash together cleavage look in here, which is great because I really, that's one of my pet peeves when there's like a cutout across this part of the chest is that it's always shown on a model that has either fashion boobs or no boobs, and you just can't get a feel for what it's going to look like on you. I vote if they make stuff like this, they have to photograph it on someone that has boobs just so they can manage expectations, but it's actually okay. And I think with like a pair of black trousers as well, this would look really cute, really minimalist, but it is also really lovely with a pair of straight leg jeans like this pair. I think especially with a pair of sandals, this would look so cute. I definitely want to try this with like a black pair of trousers on the bottom. I think it would look so nice, especially with sandals and then like a little, like my YSL little raffia bag. I think that would be so cute. So I'm going to try that next. I don't love it as much as I thought I would, to be honest, like it looks nice, but I actually think I preferred it with the jeans. You can let me know what you guys think. It's probably the trousers, but I just think it looks a bit work wear personally. Still looks really nice, just a little bit more work wear. I know this top is obviously not work wear, but it just gives that kind of a bit too small, I think is what I'm trying to say. But also these trousers are very work wear. I think they lend themselves better to being paired with like a black body and then trainers and that casuals them down, but I don't think it's working. It's just not getting what I hoped with this. It's not that it's not working. It just is a very different vibe to how I envisioned it in my head. However, I think with a wider leg pair of trousers, maybe in more of a linen texture or just a more relaxed fabric is what I am thinking of. So this dress is just so sweet. It's really lightweight, very thin, but double bind, which is amazing. I think this will be amazing for very warm days with like a sleek hairstyle, a really nice pair of sunnies and just like minimal accessories. It's just going to be a go to for summer. I actually have a similar one from ASOS in more of a cotton, almost like that stiff shirt material in black. And I got a lot of wear out, but last summer I wore it with my brown sandals and this bag. I absolutely loved it. No wore it in the same way, which is why the sleek hairstyle and everything will definitely be my go-to. I know I'll get a lot of wear out of it, especially with it being in a white colorway. This is definitely more of a very hot weather dress though. The other one is definitely a bit more fitted and it's got more of a structure to it because it is that like stiffer, more cotton type material. Whereas this is like super floaty, really nice and soft. Like I don't even know what this is, but it is gorgeous, really soft, just very lightweight. It's really nice. It's got adjustable straps as well, which I love. I think this will be a summer staple. If this is still on sale when this video goes live, definitely see if you can get your hands on it because it's just such a winner. I think even though the skirt is short, I definitely gravitate towards midi items in terms of thinking about longevity in my wardrobe. I think this is a dress that I would still get a lot of wear out of over the next kind of five, 10 years. So very happy to have this in my wardrobe. I think it's such a summer staple that I would just crack out again and again and again. So yeah, very, very happy with it. I think I've got a size small and I can't remember how much it was, but everything will be in the info box as always. But yeah, I'm really, really happy with this dress. It's really sweet. I'll get a lot of wear out of it. It's just a really nice, easy summer piece. Oh my God, you guys, the only way to describe how I feel is like this must be how people feel when they try on their wedding dresses. I love this so much. Oh my goodness. I think this dress was made for me personally. Like someone at Zara drew out this dress for me. It fits so well. I'm so happy. This is my favorite item of the whole order. I'm so looking forward to my holiday now. This is so pretty. So it's this really gorgeous, I think it's meant to be a midi dress, but obviously it's very much almost full length for me. I think it has this lovely little slit on the side and it's got the ruching and you can actually like adjust it to make it a little bit more of a thigh slit or like a tiny bit less. It's not fully adjustable, but you can kind of like tweak it slightly. I've obviously pulled it the tightest it will go. So I was like, yes, I want to slip the highest it will go on my thigh because that is the kind of human that I am. But yeah, I love it. It fits so well over my boobs, hips and waist. Like I actually cannot fault it. It's got adjustable straps. So you could kind of give it a bit more lift if you wanted to. I've just kind of thrown it on as it arrived and I'm quite happy with it to be honest. I haven't adjusted the straps. It is just gorgeous. I'm so, so happy with it. It would look lovely with a heel, but it also is just amazing with a pair of like really simple flats. These are my YSL flats. Yeah, I absolutely love this shaping over the chest. It's so lovely. They've been doing this quite a lot with their tops, but I've always found the tops to be a corset style and they're basically one of them I got stuck in. If my friend hadn't been coming over to do the depop items, I actually would have been like fully stuck in it or had to have cut myself out of it. It was that hard to get out of. However, I'm not having that problem with the dress at all because it's just like a zip up back. So it's lovely to be able to have that shape that I have been kind of lusting after, but without the issues with getting into the item. To be honest, with a white holiday style dress, that is just my perfect item. I couldn't have asked for a better item for this kind of like detailing to be on. I'm so happy with it. I'm gonna stop talking about it now, but this really is like my number one. If you like this style of dress and you're looking for something lovely to wear on the evenings or holiday, this is my number one recommendation from this video. I could not be happier. We have one more dress and it's very different to this one. So I hope you're all ready. Dear Zara, where is this dress in any color that doesn't violently offend me? So it's giving me like Kermit the Frog is like designing the Bridgerton costumes, but I'm kind of not mad about it. Like look at that back, the fit. This is why I say about the making this in literally every color. I think on behalf of a lot of us, I can safely say we would appreciate a dress with a fit like this in a color that is like going to be in our wardrobes for a very long time. I'm not gonna lie. I wish I had nabbed this in pink. My gosh. I know it still would have been a very bright pink, but I just would have absolutely loved it in pink. I mean, I'm very lucky. I think that green kind of works, but I just, green was obviously not my preferred choice, but a toss between green and lilac, which were my available colors when I did this order. I went with green. Not sure why. But seriously though, what do we think? Like I adore the way this fits. It's got something about it. I don't even know what it is. I don't know. Maybe it won't even come across on camera, but I put it on and I was like, especially the back, I was like, damn. It's giving. It's really giving. It's doing the most. I didn't want to like it, but I do like it. I think especially even the length on me is quite a nice length. I know on other people it will obviously not be as full a length, but I actually really rate it. I love the drop back. And then it goes into like this full skirt on me. I think that's lovely. I actually thought I was gonna hate this situation at the front. I didn't think it was gonna be cluttering on my chest or my top half at all, but I'm not mad about it. I don't know what it is about the way they have structured this dress, but I do really like it. Let me know what you think. I'm gonna leave it up to you guys. I'm genuinely so intrigued. Like even Ryan saw this on the hanger and he was like, I love that color. And I was like, really? So maybe it's just me being very basic and like classic with my color choices slash boring. One of my concerns was actually accessorizing, but seeing it next to my YSL Cassandra, I actually think it will still look really nice. I think this still works. There's something about like just having a black and beige and gold bag. Like it's very neutral. It's really easy to style with things. And I actually think it still works with this dress, but let me know what you think. Because one of my main concerns was what on earth am I gonna pair this with? What bag is gonna go with this? What shoes are gonna go with this? But actually I think keeping things very neutral kind of works, but let me know what you think. Honestly, it's so bright. Even a full on black bag isn't offending me. Normally I would never pair black and like a block color together, but I don't even think this feels wrong. I'm so confused by this dress. So that is my little wild card number. Like I said, let me know what you think. Please help me. I am so confused. And that is gonna be it for this video. I really hope you guys have enjoyed it and maybe got a little bit of inspo for this summer or any trips you have coming up. Let me know what you think I should keep and return as always in the comments below. And I'll see you guys again very, very soon. Love you, bye. Bye.
