SPRING PRIMARK HAUL + *HUGE £1000 GIVEAWAY!!!* MARCH 2020 TRY ON | Freya Farrington

Welcome back to my channel, welcome back to today's video. I hope you and all your families are keeping well during this very uncertain time period. I have had to switch up my content a little bit but I have previously mentioned that I will continue to upload to the best of my ability and stay on schedule as normal with my content. I feel like YouTube for me is a space that I love to come to, to relax, unwind, use it as a bit of escapism from reality and what is currently going on. So I would be very upset if my favorite YouTubers were to stop uploading during this time period. So for that reason, I'm going to try and continue as normal. It might not be as fun out and about vlogging style content. I have a big Primark call for you today. I have actually been working with Primark or I was going to be working with Primark on a new store opening, which obviously has been postponed. But I have over the last couple of weeks been into Primark and stocked up on some new in items. So I actually have three big bags full to share with you. So I thought I'd just sit down and do a nice little comforting, relaxing unboxing video for you guys. So before I delve into my Primark bags and show you what I have picked up, I did just want to thank Shoptagr for very kindly sponsoring this video. Shoptagr is a platform that I've used for such a long time now. I have actually previously spoken about it in a previous video. So if you've been a subscriber of my channel for a while, you may have noticed me mentioning it in the past. So if you are new to my channel or if you have never heard of Shoptagr before, essentially it is an online tool that you can download for free. Essentially Shoptagr will notify you every time your particular item that you have saved goes on sale, any change in price, or if your item is back in stock. So say for instance, you're shopping online, take a recent example of mine. You guys know I love the White Company. I currently have a White Company candle burning there. And my latest candle that I bought from the White Company was bought via Shoptagr when they notified me that the ginger candle went in sale. So I had it saved to my wishlist along with a couple of other items for Mother's Day. And then as soon as the items changed in price, I was sent a notification to let me know of which then I logged in and bought the item. So this is great if you have any upcoming birthdays or if you're wanting to freshen up your spring wardrobe and you have a load of items saved to a wishlist, you can just have them saved there and then they'll notify you if they change in price. Very simple to use. And then another way that I like to use Shoptagr is as and when I am shopping online and I add something to my basket, it will automatically scan to see if there are any coupons available for you to, again, get money off. So it's a great tool for you to be able to save money, shop savvy, and you guys just know if you're a bargain hunter like me, then you will love using this platform. I will leave a link in my description box where you can download it for free. And they are also currently running a giveaway for $1,000, which all you need to do to be entered is click the link in my description, download the button on both your desktop and the app, simply save an item and you will automatically be entered to be in the chance for winning that $1,000. The winner will be chosen completely at random by Shoptagr. So best of luck to everyone who decides to enter. So now let's get on to the haul itself with my three big bags. This has to be my favorite Primark shopping trip I have ever done. That is a big statement. They have a new wellness section, which is made for me. It's very white company inspired or Zara home with all minimal, neutral, natural colors. As and when stores are back open and safe to get shopping in, be sure to check out that section. I will of course take you around the new store opening with me very soon. Right, let's just dive in, shall we? And the first little set that I wanted to share with you, I picked up in a medium at five pounds. They didn't have any smalls available, so I went with the medium and it's actually fine. But this is like a really nice ribbed fabric and a very simple design, which you guys know I am very basic when it comes to my underwear and fashion in general. So this is like a go-to everyday set for me. They had loads of different colors available, five pounds is such a bargain. The next item I got was some cute little PJ bums. I love wearing little shorts like this to bed and these little shorts are only five pounds. Are they five pounds? Three pounds, even more so of a bargain. Again, they're like a ribbed fabric with a little frill hem detail. I picked up some jeans. I'm a big fan of the vintage straight jeans from Primark and these I wanted to try because they are the vintage mom jeans. They are 15 pounds. They're made with sustainable cotton and I got them in a size UK 10. They're nice and high-waisted and these are definitely more of a relaxed fit as opposed to the straight, which are a little bit more snug. I just like to roll up the hem as well on these. Almost bleach washed kind of color to these. They have all the different colors available, but I really wanted a light wash denim, so I love these. With us spending a lot of time in our homes and a lot of us now working from home, which I do anyway, these joggers are the perfect at-home joggers that I would wear. They are a really gorgeous knit, a Zara dupe to two pairs of joggers that I have from Zara in black and a nude color. I picked these ones up in Khaki, a fraction of the price. These ones are only 13 pounds and I believe the Zara ones were 25.99. Why not save money where you can? I love these and I'm so happy to have found them in a size small because usually the popular items are always sold out in my size. Next up, I picked up these two basic crop top style tops, one in white and one in black. They are both in a medium. They are eight pounds each, which for a top like this you'd think is pretty steep for Primark, but this is the best quality I've probably ever felt from Primark. It is so thick. It's again like a ... I really don't know how to describe this. I'm rubbish at explaining, but a really thick rib kind of material, almost like the scuba type material. It's just so thick and supportive. No bra needed with these. They are very cropped, so I would wear them with high-waisted leggings, a bit like the set I'm wearing today probably, which is from H&M. I featured it in my latest H&M haul. These are like workout pants, but again this is like a go-to at home outfit for me. Throw on this cozy cardigan, which again is from Primark. This is three pounds, such a bargain. This set is probably my favorite thing that I picked up this time around. It again is a ribbed knit, because I'm obsessed. It's a little top and skirt combo, which they had in black as well. I went for the cream. What's great about two pieces or coals like this is they are pretty versatile, because you've got so many outfits in one. You can wear them together, wear them as separate. I got the top in a medium. Looks like so. It's like a really nice almost blush cream. The top was six pounds, and then the skirt was 10 pounds, so 16 pounds for a gorgeous, again I'm going to say it, Zara dupe set. That is what it looks like. There's a little crease there, which I need to eye out, but I am obsessed. Yet again, another Zara dupe. They had these in different colors. I went for the kind of stone natural color. They also had like a dark chocolate brown and a black. In a size 12, I picked these ones up in at 15 pounds. Like a Zara dupe, these come up quite small, so I'd say size up. There is a zip down the side, and they're essentially just a faux suede skinny legging. These are so supportive. They're essentially a trowel, so they've got a nice thick waistband. Honestly, the quality is exactly the same as Zara in these ones. In fact, better, because the Zara ones, which I have tried on in the past on camera, couldn't get up past my thighs, and I had to size up like twice, and even then they weren't high-waisted enough. They were very uncomfortable. To be fair, I would prefer these to be even more high-waisted than they are. Nonetheless, they fit me better than the Zara ones, so I was more than happy to pick these ones up. I'm just going to pop on screen a couple of pictures of these particular trainers that I wear pretty much with everything. They were a £5 Primark bargain, which I have just worn to death, and I will continue to wear to death, but to have a second pair to them, I picked up these. These are very much like the chunky trainer, designer-inspired style. They have a really nice knitted fabric with the plastic coat there. They're a creamy white rather than a stark white. These ones are more expensive at £14. I did get my other ones in the sale at £5. I think full price they were £12. I got two other pairs of shoes, and I'm prepping early here for the warmer months, because I feel like these are that type of Zara-style shoe, which are going to sell out so quick, so I wanted to get my hands on them now whilst they're in stock. These were such a bargain. These were £5 each. How nice are they? I love both colours. Let me know which you prefer. Do you prefer the black, very simple and aesthetic classic, or for the warmer months, a nice lighter colour like this nude? Which would you prefer? I like both, so I got both. Next up, I got these cosy socks. I always like to stock up on a pack of these. You get a pack of two for £1.80, and I went for this really nice cream colour. Again, for just lounging around the house or working from home, I like to throw these on sometimes instead of slippers. I have actually already worn this, so it is already an item that I know I'm going to get a lot of wear out of, and it is this gorgeous staple trench coat. This is in a size 10, so the only thing I have is a little bit of a meh, is that it was £30, which I think is pretty steep for Primark prices, but if you can get a good trench coat anywhere else for £30, let me know. It's still a really affordable price, but just when you see a double figure starting with three from Primark, I'm like, whoa, that's kind of pricey for Primark. This cute little bag is ... I just love this. It's so adorable. They even had even miniature bags, which I just thought was a bit impractical for me, let's be honest. I like a phone, a vlogging camera, and a little coin purse, and if they can all fit in, then I'm happy. The others were a bit too small for that, so I picked this one up at £6. It's nice and spacious on the inside, and magnetic closures. Okay, if you've been to Primark recently or watched other Primark hauls, then you'll know that they do a Zara dupe of a bodysuit. I tried that on, and it is very thin. For me personally, I could see everything, and it wasn't supportive enough, because when I wear bodysuits, I don't want to wear a bra with it, whereas this one, I did love. It is a thicker rib knit, which I think makes the difference when it comes to the thickness and supportiveness of a bodysuit. For that reason, I went for this one as opposed to the other one, and again, it still has that high neck, low cut design here. This one was £6. We all know I love a bodysuit, and I'm so happy to have found that one. Please, Primark, do it in more colours, and I will buy them all. Okay, we've got a little sale item here now. This one I picked up in a large, and it's a really nice ... I'm going to show you again a bit closer up so you can see the colour of it. It's a creamy beige mull colour. It was originally £8, and it was reduced just to £3, so I thought, again, an at-home, throw-it-on, really nice knit, lightweight knit to wear around the house. A light knit like that, you can imagine finding somewhere in the white company for a lot of money. Mine was just £3. Next up, this is a very spring item, spring appropriate, and it is a gorgeous little white, or kind of cream, I'd say, dress with a button-up design here. I actually had one very similar to this from Lovies, which I loved and wore so much last year. Wore it to Cape Town. I took it on holiday with me, and I wore it as more of a beach dress. Got some cream over it, stained it yellow. Couldn't get the stains out, so I picked this one up as an alternative replacement for it. This is a gorgeous cotton fabric. Honestly, the quality of this, I love. It was £15. I got it in a size 10. Okay, the last bit I got from the wellness section, which is literally the dreamiest section ever. I'm so glad they brought it to Primark. I did restrain and just stuck to a few items. The first being a candle, because we all know I love a candle. This one is in, it says Spa Serenity. I'm going to come a bit closer up and show you guys. Spa Serenity, it's three wick. It smells of eucalyptus and geranium, and it lasts up to 35 hours. Love the frosted glass, the minimal neutral colouring. It was only £5 as well, which for a three wick candle of this size is pretty good. I'm happy with that. Okay, I'm having a bit of a refresh of my wardrobe today. I'm going to have a bit of a clear out as part of my spring declutter and clean series that I'm going to do here on my YouTube channel, of which I did the first video on Sunday. I'll leave that linked, but I'm going to do a few more, and any other suggestions you have of that, I'm going to do a disinfect my home with me, spring declutter my wardrobe, which I've done, my beauty, all sorts. But anyway, my point is, is that I like to replenish my wardrobe when I clear it out. We all know I'm a big fan of basics, so I got this basic tee. It is, again, from the wellness section, which is, in this case, organic cotton. It was £6 in ecru, that's the colour. I got it in a small, which is 10 to 12, and it's got these little turned up cap sleeve type detail here. Very boxy, needs an iron, granted, but a very boxy fit, which is my favourite kind of fit to wear with leather pants or skinny jeans and just tuck it in slightly, so that I like mixing that element of tight on one half and baggy on the other, where it'd be a tight top like this and wide leg pants, or the reverse, a skinny jean with a boxy style t-shirt like this. The last item that I picked up, again, from the wellness section, and this time made with recycled fabric, are these two pack of socks. Again, very much white company cashmere socks dupe that I thought of. Let me just show you again closer up the colour of these. We've got a beige pair and a cream pair. Lounging around the house or working from home, this is a go-to to put with leggings. I currently got the cosy socks on in black from Primark, and these are so soft. That is everything that I picked up from Primark over the last couple of weeks. I hope you enjoyed this video.
