Back to a new vlog, I am just popping out quickly. I thought I would show you
today's little outfit of the day. I've got an all-black outfit which is
definitely one of my faves. This jumper is a new addition to my wardrobe. It's
from Missguided and I just love like the slouchy fit of it. It's so, so comfy. It
looks really nice with a black pair of skinny jeans. These are from New Look.
They've got like a double button at the top. They're quite high-waisted and they
fit really, really nicely. I got a, I believe a size a leg 28 so they're not
super, super long. They don't go all the way down to my ankle. They come down to
about here which is a really nice fit. Lots of my other skinnies are all the
way like super long and I have to roll them out so it's nice to have a pair of
jeans that are a bit more cropped if I want to wear them that way. But they fit
really nicely under boots because of that because there's no bunching up. So
yeah, really love these. And then the boots that I am wearing are also New
Look. They have this like almost half transparent sole. Very Bottega vibes. I
really like that. On my lips I have MAC Honey Love with KKW Love lip liner. A lot
of love going on. My eyeshadow is from the Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a
Palette that I showed you I think in my last vlog. If you haven't seen that, I will link it at the
top of the screen. And then in terms of jewellery, I'm wearing my Monica Vinegar
hoops. These are just really nice like silver hoops that have a little bit of
sparkle on them but they're really like dainty and kind of minimal. And then I'm
wearing just my normal Pandora ring which is the top ring on this hand and
the bottom one is one that my Nan gave me. And then Monica Vinegar rings on this hand
as well. These are two separate ones which I stack together. I will link both
of them. And then just my normal bracelets and Amazon Apple watch strap. And then
I've got another Monica Vinegar bangle on this arm. So yeah, that is what I'm
wearing today and then probably just a nice big coat over the top because it's
a little bit chilly. Okay, I decided to go with my Marge coat. If you haven't seen
the last vlog, you really should watch it because there is some cute stuff in it.
This I am just in love with from that order. Also, despite some of the opinions,
the pink cardigan is staying guys. I love the pink cardigan so much. I do need to
make decisions on that order today actually and get that sorted. So your
comments are really coming in handy. But anyway, yeah, I'm wearing this coat. I
absolutely love it. I think the length is so good for my like height. Just
absolutely loving it. I've got my Chanel jumbo bag on and then I have a little
Balenciaga hat. I was gonna go with my black hat so that it was a little bit
more minimal but I don't know. I really like the kind of like black and tan with
this outfit and I just think it breaks it up a bit. So yeah, maybe I'll try the
black one just to be sure. Maybe I'll try it. I like the black hat. I like a black
hat but I don't think this hat works. It's a bit too thick. Really can't wait
for my new hat to arrive. The one I ordered off Bestia. It's still not here. Yeah but
can't wait for it to arrive because I think it would look so cute with this
outfit. I look like a bank robber. What the heck? I literally look like I'm about to rob off a Starbucks.
Sorry I stopped filming quite like suddenly yesterday. What is going on with my hair?
Wow. I stopped filming yesterday afternoon. I just really wasn't feeling the
chatty vibes. The weather at the moment, it is like so grey. I honestly don't know
how anyone north of like England or even in the north of England, like the
countries where the weather just is even darker than ours and like the days are
even shorter, I honestly don't know how people cope. It makes me like want to
basically just hibernate and I just really struggle with feeling like peppy
you know? Does anyone else get that? Probably loads of people. I think it's
probably quite normal. I put on my cutest pink cardigan to try and like pet
myself up a little bit today. As you will have seen yesterday, it also had a Zara
order arrive so we'll take you through that. I also have a new coat that I've
ordered from a brand I've never ordered from before but it looked so cute. It was
kind of expensive but fingers crossed it is gonna be really nice and like a good
length for me because it just looks so cute on the website and there's a couple
of Instagrams I follow that also have this coat and I just think it's so
gorgeous. So I'll take you through that in a little bit but right now it is so
dark like I've really bumped the brightness up on this camera. I think
we're like three rings up from where we're meant to be. I'm gonna make the
house really really cozy. When the weather gets like this I really like to
lean into the fact that it's just dark and just act like it is nighttime and
make my house really really cozy and just go with that kind of vibe because
then that makes me feel a little bit better rather than like I'm living out
my day with the lights off you know? You guys, this coat is perfect. It was spendy.
Please ignore my choice of footwear. I have no excuse for the poor footwear
like the socks do not match the shoes. Yeah the socks are basically yellow. I
don't think you can really, I don't think it really comes off but poor choice in
footwear aside, the coat, I love it. Like it was so expensive for what I would
usually spend on a coat. You guys know me, I'm a high street girl. I very rarely buy
pricey coats and this wasn't like Max Mara pricey but it was a little bit more
than I would normally like to spend on a coat but I just absolutely loved it and
I loved the like how dark the buttons were. I loved like the quality of the
coat just looked very good like it's a really nice wool coat and I've
generally have very good experiences with like coats that are made from real
wool and I'm so happy with the length. Like this is a really good length for me
like a very flattering length. I really, I like longer coats but this is like the
good kind of long where I don't feel like if I'm going downstairs it's not
dragging on the stairs if that makes sense and this is it like tied up so it
obviously shortens a little bit but when it's like left open it's a really really
nice length for me. Not too short, not too long, it's just perfect and it's like the
right kind of oversized as well. I will confirm what size I bought because I can't
remember if I went for an extra small or a small but it's like got room in it
like I'm wearing a thick cardigan underneath and it's got room like the
colour of it. I just want to give you guys a good feel for like the colour. It's
that gorgeous like greige, grey beige which I love and it's the right kind of
greige where it doesn't wash me out. I really love it. I'm so happy with it. I
originally found this brand on Farfetch and they actually have recently gone off
Farfetch, not sure why. I hope it's not for a bad reason because I really like
the coat. Yeah this one had been on my wish list on Farfetch for such a long
time and then it suddenly wasn't there anymore and when I went to buy it I was
like this is just my luck but yeah absolutely love this. So, so pretty. I have
no regrets on this and the delivery was so fast as well. I'm very very happy with
this however as a backup if this one wasn't the one I actually ordered a coat
from Zara which is in my Zara order which I think might be a bit longer than
this and I'm not sure it has a tie waist so this is why it's my backup and not my
first choice but I ordered it anyway just as a backup in case this one for
some reason like I'd never ordered from the brand it could have been awful in
terms of like material or fit or just not been like as it should have been
like as it was sold. Yeah I ordered that so it's in my Zara order so I'll show
you that now in case you're looking for something that's a little bit more
budget-friendly though it's still I think a little bit expensive for Zara.
Okay hello I've changed my top because I'm really picky about what I wear when
I sit in this situation. A very unexciting little fact about me for you
there. Okay so first up we have this top and I don't understand why but it is the
softest thing I've ever felt. Why, why are you so soft? It looks like it's made for a
child so it's a snug fit. I got it in a size small. I really wanted to wear it
with my leather look leggings and then there's another item that I wanted to
put over the top. I saw something similar styled up in this kind of way on Zara.
Now that I have had some time to think about it I'm not so into the idea. Also
picked up this jacket which I loved. It is a very yellowy ecru though which Zara
do so very well and they always make something look very white on camera and
then you get it in real life and you're like this is this is yellow this is like
a step off a lemon yellow but it's really cute it's like that kind of like
tweed boucle style material with these gorgeous gold buttons lovely little
lapels it's really really sweet it's got these nice cuff details as well. You can
see that it's really really gorgeous and not a particularly long coat either. The
color might just really make me not love it though. This is the coat that I was
talking about so very very similar but not exactly the same. This one doesn't
have a tie as I said and it looks like it's meant to be a bit more of like an
oversized cocoon coat but if you are looking for something that's similar for a
fraction of the price this was oh it was £79.99. I got this in an extra small one it
still looks huge so it's gonna be one of those big oversized ones but a great
alternative to the other coat that I have which I can't remember if I said
the brand is 12 stories it's about s-t-o-r-e-e-z. I'm really excited about
this one this is cute I thought this would be really really nice like a
festive top this Christmas it might have a bit too much detailing on it I think
it's gonna be fine when you try it on but it's one of those ones that when you
hold it up you're like wow okay this with just a really simple strapless
black bra underneath very similar to what I wore in my what I got for
Christmas video last year where I had like a sheer top on and then I've just
put literally like a black strapless bra on underneath and it looks like it's
almost part of the top because it has black detailing on it already and I know
lots of you really loved that top so yeah this one's a little bit similar but
just with a frill that also goes across the chest and it's got little frill
details on the sleeves as well but I thought it could be a really really nice
one just for like I want to be festive I don't want to wear like a dress vibe so
let's see let's see how it fits oh this is what I wanted to put on over the
white jumper oh I'm not so sure now I'm not so sure I'm not so sure on the dark
denim it was great in my head I'll try it on anyway this is so pretty
this pink little jumper which I just thought would be really really nice or
winter going into spring as well it's such a lovely springy color I've got it
in a medium it was $27.99 just not too bad it does come quite oversized I could
have done a small but I wasn't sure when I was looking on the website whether I
needed to go for my regular or size up I thought it'd be really cute in the
spring like tucked into like blue like a really light blue wash mom jean or
actually into a dark denim jean that could also look cute as well I also got
this little two-piece which I really like I'm hoping the bottom half is like
a good length for me I got this in a size small it's like a wrap I don't know
what the like name for this is like pleated really really gorgeous I thought
if this works and the bottoms are nice if the bottoms are nice as well and they
fit it could be a really nice one for over the festive period and just in life
in general it's a really nice chic one to have for around the house but the
bottoms are elasticated so it'd be really great like post dinner like
lounging on Christmas Day okay do we think the trousers are going to be a
good length it could be just about okay it could be too long we'll see but I
might be able to roll them at the top if they're snug enough around my waist
Zara have also finally started doing a long-sleeved black body hallelujah I'm
sure lots of you already know that I'm ecstatic ecstatic thank goodness oh okay
so I ordered this little tank top just as a like really nice easy basic for
like layering just going in spring in general I don't like this what is that
no I don't like that I also couldn't resist throwing in a little right what
do we think do these suit me do we think they suit me I feel like I can get away
the black one but feel like a lighter one is a real like statement you know
what do we think let me know I thought it could be cute with like a light
colored knit or like a light colored coat oh this I'm so excited to try on
this looks like trash when I'm holding it up but it's basically a khaki shirt
that has this tie waist detail so you like cinch it in around the waist I just
thought it'd be so cool with like leather look leggings and then you can
either wear trainers or boots or you can really like dress it up or dress it down
I thought that'd be amazing for like this time of year with a coat over the
top but also going into spring that would be incredible that is everything
I'm gonna have some soup need some lunch and then we're gonna try everything on I
also just got an alert that my drunk mango order might be coming today it's
been weeks it has been actual weeks like how is this I do I do not recommend I'm
genuinely not even sure what is in that order so this will be a surprise for you
guys and for me I'm not holding out hope on it arriving because it's literally
been the longest time I genuinely don't believe this past was ever gonna get
here so we'll see but priorities lunch so I thought I'd just open my advent
calendar quickly because I haven't done it for days and we have a really good
selection Dermalogica I can take it or leave it one of my friends will have
that but a mini sugar lip balm from fresh which is great
cozy beauty water I love we've got another boy smells candles in ash which
I think Ryan will actually really enjoy these are really cute candles by the
way they're like boy smells but the candles look really cute love them we
also got a Kate Somerville as a we I'm not sharing these so I got Kate
Somerville goat milk moisturizing cream which is great this I think this is a
full-size or like the smaller full-size that's amazing and then an Anastasia
Beverly Hills loose setting powder which is great there's nothing calendar has
been a good one so I know I said some bad things about this coat but it is
actually really cute I like the overall fit of it it's like a little bit
oversized but it's like shorter I don't know I just really like it's like a long
pea coat I think it's kind of cute obviously my current sock and shoe
combination is not really doing it justice but I don't know there's
something about it that I think it's really nice like it's like a little bit
oversized but it's not like swamping me can I get past the color maybe my only
gripe with it is that the pockets really don't feel like they should be cut open
if that makes sense there's a tiny hole but it's very well stitched so slightly
unsure as to whether it has pockets or not and if it doesn't that's a real
deal-breaker for me I love a coat with pockets I don't know why you'd have a
honest but yeah it's really nice very snuggly it's like that nice kind of in
between where it's not super heavy like it's light but it's not too light like
there's a decent like lining on the inside so this is one of those nice ones
I've just layer up a lot underneath what do we think is very cute so as suspected
this coat is very very long on me still really nice I think if the other one
hadn't worked out I would still like this one I do wish it came with a tie
waist though I think that would have made all the difference but probably
would have really bumped up the price as well and it's a very good price as it is
so yeah this is it when it's kind of done up I don't feel like it's as
flattering on me as the other one the ability to have a tie waist I think is
just very important for me and my figure this is this is cute but it's just not
it's not giving me the vibes that I want I think this one's a really nice value
for money the material feels really lovely as well if I hadn't ordered the
other coat this coat would have been the one for me because I actually think
it's gorgeous like the more I look at the more I'm like yes this is lovely oh
my god this jumper is so cute I really like it I thought it might have the
potential to be itchy it doesn't so far so good I could have probably got a size
down we've got a lot of excess material but at the same time I really like that
I think that the fit is really nice it's really oversized it hits a good point on
my legs it just looks so cute with these leggings and converse throughout like
winter and spring I think it's a really lovely little piece it doesn't feel like
the most amazing but it's not scratchy and it is very soft and I think it's
really cute yeah this one's a winner for me what do we think do we think it's too
pink or is it just right this is the little white super soft fluffy jumper
and this is the denim shirt that I wanted to wear over it but I actually
really don't like the quality of this one I would not recommend the fit is okay
but it just doesn't feel nice I don't know it feels a bit like I'm wearing
cardboard if I'm honest so sadly my vision is not going to happen and I
don't feel like this illustrates it well either so we're just gonna park that so
this is the green shirt I really like it I wasn't sure if you were meant to do
the tie at the front or the back so I've gone for the back so I just thought it
was a little bit neater this way but it does look quite nice with the tie at the
front as well it's just an extra bit of detail I guess I really like this one
like I said earlier it's great for dressing up or down and for me I just
really love this color it really suits me it's that kind of like brownie greenie
tone it looks a lot browner on camera but it's much more of a like olivy green
in real life it's really really gorgeous and I think this is a really nice one to
be dressed up or dressed down I think you can wear mom jeans with this or like
a leather look legging or a black skinny jean just keep it really simple and like
your footwear can also help dress it up or down yeah it's just really gorgeous I
really like the material as well it feels very soft I'm definitely
definitely keeping this one it's gorgeous so I love this set so much the
trousers are just extremely long though like look at that a lot of length needs
to come off these for them to fit me however I do remember someone saying and
it was after I'd already sent one that I got from and other stories back and to
be honest the and other stories one was expensive so I wouldn't have wanted to
have done this to that set but I remember someone saying after I'd sent
it back already that you can actually cut the bottom of this material and it
just cuts so maybe I'll try a little experiment to help all of the fellow
short girls out if they like this set I'm gonna see I'm gonna take one for the
team and I'm gonna see if you can trim the bottom of these just with a pair of
like regular scissors pray for me but yeah I really like it I love the top as
well I think it looks so nice just with like normal bottoms on as well like a
skinny jean or leather look legging it looks really nice as well so even if you
didn't want to go for the trousers you could definitely just buy the top and
style it up with things in your wardrobe already I just think it's really lovely
it's like comfy but it looks really really chic like this could be really
cute lounge wear or you could actually really dress this up and wear it for a
night out and I just absolutely love that like some sparkly earrings a pair
of heels a cute bag this would look so good but you could also wear it just for
like lounging so sadly this one is not the one for me and that could be down to
a few things number one I obviously am wearing a bra underneath this whereas
the model on the website wasn't and you could see a lot more of the like sequin
detailing when you're obviously not wearing a black bra I don't think a new
one would quite work because I think I don't have one that matches my skin tone
exactly and it's seamless enough like I think you'd just be able to tell that
I'm wearing a new bra and that's not that's not so cute whereas normally I
can wear a top like this that is sheer and the bra looks like it's part of the
top whereas with a new bra it wouldn't look that way it also I don't know if I
needed a smaller size because it's not tight which is fine I thought I'd just
be able to tuck it into my jeans but I'm actually really struggling because at
the back it doesn't seem to want to tuck in it just slips back out and then it
like bunches over the side of the jeans and I just think it would be way better
if it was more fitted to my body so that it just looked really like
streamlined I also think the frill sits at the wrong point it would be so much
better if it sat a little bit lower so it almost blended and then I wouldn't
really be having the issue that I'm having with over the bra kind of like
looking a little bit weird because it would almost like transition into the
bra and maybe that would be different if I'd have got a different size I don't
know I just think it's not really like I'm not really vibing with this one and
then finally we have the body which I'm so happy with I love the material that
Zara make their bodies out of it's almost like a really fine like scuba
like lycra like basically like a lycra material it makes them really really
fitted they are always so snug so I find that I can go braless with them if I
want to which is fab and they're also double lined as well like there's a
little bit of lining that finishes around here and I just love that I find
it really holds you in so happy that they've started doing these bodies
because I love the skims ones but they're way more expensive way harder to
get hold of and they're not as thick as the Zara material so this is fab I'm
really glad I've got a black one so that is everything I'm off to see if I can
trim these trousers down now wish me luck so just in case anyone was
wondering the trousers do cut very well I've done it not particularly skillfully
might I add but I have significantly taken them up they could probably do with
a little bit more trimming with a much sharper scissor just to make sure the
edges actually look straight because I'm pretty sure I did it kind of like jagged
I was like oh my god I should not be allowed to do this but because they're
pleated you really can't tell and they don't fray which is amazing so this
little set is a keeper I love it it's just really nice as like a loungewear
piece or as a dressier little set so this morning I'm having my coffee in my
favorite little Bambi mug I've got a little gingerbread cookie on the side
which is fresh out the oven I'm getting ready to import some footage and plan my
day and I'm sitting looking at the Christmas tree I feel so cozy right now
good morning how are you doing today I have woken up I honestly feel like I've
been hit by a bus I think my body knows that Lauren has come back off of her
holiday and that it's nearly Christmas and I can actually relax slightly and
I'm feeling a little bit tired I need a little bit less girl bossing and a
little bit more girl resting that meme I'll put that meme here if you haven't seen it
it's my favorite at the moment that memes me more girl resting more girl laying
down that is what I need in my life but today is a great day because I think I
have a total of three working days left of the year well I say this of before
Christmas because I always come back between Christmas and New Year's so I
cheat a little bit but then I'm off in January I've booked I've booked a mini
vacay and I'm so excited oh god this morning's footage is just going to turn
into me repeatedly saying I'm tired for a good five minutes isn't it so we can
have a chill day this morning last night I got on top of like my Christmas
present purchasing organizing I have a whole spreadsheet and it's slowly going
from like red squares like red squares that are like you need to buy this to
pink squares so very nice so feeling good feeling very organized also woke up
this morning to a text message which contained my PCR results from my Covid
test that I had done yesterday negative just great so the aching in my body is
just me being tired and nothing else happy days happy days yeah today it's
just gonna be a little bit of a boring day like it's a YouTube upload day so
there's always a lot of just like typing sorting making sure everything is ready
I'm also going to just do a few like ad mini bits that are so dull so some real
like laptop time so for the occasion I've gone for a classic all black
outfit I've got my girl down here in her sweet corn yeah this jumper is a really
old one from ASOS I've literally had it for so many years now I think I bought
it maybe like 2016 if not before that basically I've owned this jumper for a
very long time and then I've just got my Zara leather look trousers I have a
mirror here I can just show you my bedroom is a bit of a mess so please
ignore that but yeah this is my little look for the day yeah I'm just about to
pop out and get Lauren because she is carless today so I'm just gonna throw on
a cute little coat over the top of this and obviously change the footwear just
gonna pop on a fragrance it's so hard to pick at the moment I have so many
that I love I'm just gonna take you through my favorites quickly so I get
asked this all the time but this one is one of my newer favorites it's Pen
Heligan's Cairo it's very similar to like Sunset Riot but it has a little bit
more of a floral-ness to it but it's got this real like gorgeous manila
undertone which I absolutely love Sunset Riot by All Saints if you don't know
what I'm talking about it's basically like the souped up version of that and
obviously a lot more expensive but it's incredible people always compliment me
on this when I'm wearing out Jimmy Choo I want you it's just my absolute favorite
like really feminine floral fragrance but also has like a real vanilla
undertone to it so the base is vanilla and then we've got like I think it's
peach and is it clementine peach and clementine it's basically like a peach
and an orange citrus scent on the top notes and the heart of it is like
jasmine sandbeck and red spider lily really really beautiful so you've got
the very like citrusy top notes and then a floral and then like a vanilla
underneath it's so beautiful so fun so girly but smells incredible I get a lot
of compliments on this I was gonna make this a top three but I'm really
struggling at the moment this is a new like brand new fave that I love this is
Angel's Share from By Killian and I love this it is gorgeous it almost smells
like a toffee apple cider it is honestly incredible and the bottle is just
gorgeous this is really delicious a really nice one for nights out or if you
like something kind of dramatic ish for the day but you can wear it during the
day it doesn't stand out too much so I love that one but the one I've just been
absolutely loving wearing at the moment is this one from YSL it's sleek suede
the bottle is so fingerprinting let's just sort that out this one is
incredible it just smells like chocolate and vanilla and it's super
dark like I always think of like the color purple when I spray this it's like
so rich and luxurious it's really really gorgeous it's almost like
slightly floral mixed with chocolate which sounds like it should be
disgusting but it is honestly incredible the longevity of this one is incredible
as well this one I can't smell on myself after a little while in terms of like
longevity these two I always smell on my clothes after I sprayed it on my clothes
I'm gonna go with this one it's a good daytime one a good daytime one or a good
like girls night out one oh my goodness you guys this is just arrived I'm so excited
oh my goodness I'm so excited great timing because I was just about to get
my coat on this is so cute I'm so happy with it so this is a cashmere beanie
from Chanel I've been eyeing this up on Instagram for the longest time I just
thought it looks so cute with lots of the black coats I have especially the
puffer jackets I have I thought this would work perfectly with to kind of go
with them but also like elevate the outfit a little bit oh my god I love it
and I love the way it sits I'm so happy with this because I've really been
finding that lots of hats are either too thick here or they sit like this and I
really don't love that like I really like my other Chanel beanie also does
this where it like flops a little bit but not so much that you feel you're in
like the early 2000s like that kind of vibe so this is my little outfit of the
day got my Chanel beanie this coat is from new look and I absolutely love it
it's what I wanted the coat that I got from misguided which oh we need to turn
the brightness up here hello in the dark it's what I wanted the coat that I got
from my practical winter video it's what I wanted that to be it's absolutely
perfect I really like the length the fit is much better it's so cozy and I really
like this almost sleeping bag s collar to it I think it's really cool and very
very comfy very cozy I've also just put my converse on just because it's easy to
drive in and yeah that is my very cute little wintery outfit of the day plus
the new glasses because vision is good we love not running people over good
afternoon everybody I am halfway through my to-do list and I'm just about to pop
out and get some bits for lunch but I thought I would come on here number one
and say I'm so happy with this hat it's so cute may this be the start of a good
run of luck with my best year purchases I actually have my eye on something else
that I'd really like in 2020 so hopefully I have better luck from here
on out this is a good start so I wanted to tell you that but also just wanted to
say bye I hope you guys have enjoyed this week's vlog I'll be back with you
hopefully again on Monday I feel like we're in that pre Christmas period where
there's really not a lot going on so hopefully I'll pull something together
that is interesting fingers crossed if I do I'll see you Monday but thank you so
much for tuning in as usual love you bye
