Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel. Today I wanted to show you my top picks from the Zara Nguyen section.
So I have my box here ready to go for you, and I'm very excited to show you what I picked out.
There's a definite vibe. It's very like warm, cosy vibes.
So I'm really excited to unbox this and get into it for you, try everything on, show you
what it all looks like on and give you some opinions on
what I would kind of rate from this selection and what I don't like so much. So without further ado, let's get into it.
So first things first, I told you the vibe was warm and cosy, and I saw this coat on the Zara Nguyen section and couldn't
resist
putting this one in my basket. It feels so soft, like I originally thought that it wouldn't feel as soft as it did.
It's that kind of shearling teddy bear style jacket, and it's in a really interesting colour. It's almost like a greeny
grey, and I just really liked the neutral tone of it.
It's just got one button in the middle, and it's almost in a cocoon shape,
so it's a little bit wider around the shoulders, and the shoulders are a bit more oversized.
I got this in a size small because I thought it would be a little bit oversized,
so I'm really interested to see how this fits when it's on, and I think it will come to round about my knees.
It's quite a long coat, which I like. I like that style at the moment. I really love this coat. It's so cute.
I think, yeah, pockets are real, so thumbs up for that. Oh my god, it's so cute. It's just like
the nicest, almost like yellow-based grey.
It's just not a blue-toned, cool-toned, like, gonna drain the life out of my face grey, and I really, really like that.
I love it. It feels so soft. Again, sized up so that I can wear a chunky knit underneath. I've paired it with my
Zara leather look leggings and Zara boots, which are getting mud all over the floor, but let's ignore that.
I really like coats like this as well, because you can have the
lapel, like, down and smarter, or, like, what I like to do sometimes is just, like,
have the collar up, and it's just a little bit more snuggly. Yeah. Oh, I really do like this.
Wasn't planning on keeping this, but it's really, really cute. I'd love to know you guys' thoughts on this.
It's really, really sweet. I just love the texture of it. Look at that.
So beautiful. It feels so soft, not itchy at all. Oh, dear. I really love it. It's so cute.
I also picked this knit as well. It's very, very heavy. Like, it's very, very soft,
but is quite a chunky knit, and it feels quite heavy on. I also think it's one of those kind of thicker
knits that actually is quite thin at the same time, so I think it would be
kind of breathable. It's got quite a thick
collar as well. I got this in a medium, because I thought this would look very, very cute,
oversized, almost, like, as a dress, but not a dress, if that makes sense.
I thought this would go quite nicely with, like, leather look leggings and things like that,
so I'm really interested to try it on and see how it fits. According to the label,
this is mostly polyester and acrylic, I believe, with, like, five percent wool in it.
It does feel very soft. This wouldn't flag to me that it's going to feel itchy at all,
but I do think if you're one of those people that gets very hot in knitwear,
this might be one that will kind of make you overheat a little. However, because the knit has a lot of, like,
gaps in it, like, it's quite a big knit that isn't too dense.
I do think it would just be that little bit more breathable, maybe. Never thought I'd say this,
but I might have gone a bit too oversized with this one. So this jumper I got in a medium. It's very,
it's, I just love it. It's super cute. I, my words are getting jumbled. It's that cute. But it is, like, a bit
long, and just, I think because of the amount of excess
material I've got in the medium, I could go down to a small, and hopefully it'd be just a tiny bit shorter,
because it does just feel a little bit long. Although I can't decide if I actually quite like
that vibe. It almost feels like it could be a dress, which would be quite cute for going into, like, spring
with a pair of, like, over-the-knee boots. I'm not sure. Maybe I'll try that in a second.
But yeah, I think if that doesn't work, then I would definitely just size down to a small, just so it's got
slightly less material. It would still be oversized and then, like, ever so slightly shorter.
I think that would be perfect, especially if it was a little bit tighter around here. It could kind of, like,
sit just a little bit
easier. Like, there's a lot of excess material on this.
So I would say, definitely, if you're not looking for anything particularly oversized, get your regular
size in this. Or even size down if you want it a little bit more, like, fitted.
Yeah, I should have stuck with my regular size, I think. Although it's quite nice just to have something, like,
really big. All my sweaters, like, actual sweaters, are in this sizing, and I do kind of like that. But normally I go for, like,
a slightly smaller fit with my knitwear. I'm going to see what this looks like as a dress.
I've got some boots down there.
So I'm just going to take these off, and I'm going to throw them on and just see what that looks like.
Hmm, I can't decide. I thought I'd properly style it out for the full effect. But yeah, this is what we're working with.
I am so undecided.
It's kind of cute, but I mean, I just love these boots with anything, to be honest. I'm so undecided.
I would love to know your thoughts.
I could also do these with over the knee, and I do think that would make it for a lot less, like,
leg being exposed. I definitely think that if I did come around to wearing this as a dress,
I would keep it in this size, because I think sizing down it would be too short.
But it's, like, a really nice length. It makes my legs look very brown as well. So no complaints there.
What do you guys think?
Let me know. I would love to know.
Thought I'd just come back and say as well, this does tuck really nicely as well,
if you're looking for that kind of vibe. I just kept it longer at the back, because otherwise it gets a bit much.
But yeah, it's really,
really cute.
Like this. So yeah, tucks well. Thumbs up.
Probably going to look cute from that. I just planned on this being a new in, not a haul.
I also picked out this jacket, which is a similar vibe to the coat, but a little bit lighter.
And it's basically a grey toned lighter version of a lot of the tailored coats that I have.
I don't have anything in that fit, but in this tone in my wardrobe.
So I was really interested to try this on, see how it fitted. It's got a tie
waist, and it feels really, really soft.
I think this will be quite long on me, but I do like quite a long coat.
I also got this in a medium in hopes that it will be kind of big enough for me to wear knitwear
underneath, like nice chunky knitwear, and it not feel too tight.
And I just like the look of these coats when they're a little bit oversized.
So yeah, I'll show you what that looks like now.
This is the level of dressing gown chic we aspire to here on this channel. Look at this.
I actually like this a lot more than I thought I would. Not so much like tied up as a dressing gown,
but like flowing loose.
It's kind of cool. I like it. It's very
like comfortable, but casual, but smart at the same time.
I think this is a great all-rounder for like a nice
everyday coat if your winters are fairly mild, like mine are down in the south of England.
I think I said, but I got the medium, so sized up,
so I've got a little bit more room for like a knit underneath.
And then with a scarf and a hat, you'd be very, very toasty in this. I love the colour of it as well.
It's a really beautiful neutral grey tone, but it's almost like it's not a cool tone grey, where it's got a blue base to it.
And I look very washed out in it. It actually works really, really well with my skin tone.
I like it a lot. The pockets are nice and big.
I think it adds to an all-black outfit quite nicely as well without wearing white and feeling too
contrasty, like I could happily wear this Zara body, my trackies, trainers, and this, and
just still feel quite put together despite being very, very casual.
Yeah, I think it's a great throw-on coat. It'd be great for like the weekends or great for like work.
It's that perfect like smart casual hybrid coat and I really, really like it. Now this
might not look like much now that I'm holding up, but I was very, very excited to see this in the new in section.
This is like basically a little rando top. However, Zara have been styling tops like this.
They did a grey one at the end of the summer.
They've been styling it with a white shirt underneath and when I saw that they did it in black,
I was so, so happy because obviously black is like my favourite shade. I prefer it to grey.
So it was just meant to be. I didn't get it the first time around and I immediately put this in my basket.
I cannot wait
to style it
with a white shirt like this. I just think that would look really, really cool.
I'm hopefully going to do that this evening.
That is basically like
why I'm filming this video now because I have a dinner to go to and I really wanted to wear this but I thought
seeing as I was opening the boxes, I might as well open them with you.
So yeah, I'm really, really excited to try this on and hopefully it looks really good under white shirts. I got it in a
medium. I could have done a small I think but I just wanted this to be able to have like
kind of chunky pieces underneath and not look
too tight because it's ribbed like you can see if it is a little bit too stretched out.
So I thought I'd be safe and go for a medium plus my boobs are huge at the moment. So
yeah, mediums all round for my top half. But yeah, I'm really, really excited to style this up. It looks like nothing
when I'm holding it up right now. So I'm gonna like show you what it looks like on right now.
So this one, although this was pretty much the main purpose of my haul, I'm actually slightly unsure on.
I think what I need is a shorter shirt if I'm honest, even just like a little bit shorter, not super short,
but just like a regular length shirt I think would maybe work a bit better.
All of my shirts are very, very long. This one I actually sometimes wear as a dress in the summer.
So it just does look a little bit too exaggerated in terms of the silhouette. Paired it with my
Topshop cigarette trousers and June heels. And I think this would be perfect if this was just like a little bit
shorter. I think it would contrast quite nicely with how short the kind of like knitted corset,
bandeau, top, whatever you want to call it is. This section of white shirt is basically double the length of this and I think
it's throwing the proportions off a little. So I would say
one that's maybe like this length. It would give you slightly more of an elongated leg as well.
So yeah, I'm gonna try and find a shirt that is a little bit shorter.
I will link some if you want your shopping made easy for you. Yeah, it's very, very cute.
I really like this with these sleeves, like the kind of exaggerated
almost like three quarter length bell sleeves. I think it's just a really interesting
mix and I just think it's very, very cute. I would say this one isn't a no, but it's not like a solid
yes. Yeah, I think it takes a little bit more to get it right.
However, I do think this would also look super cute with like a grey,
high neck, tight fitted knit.
So I'm also going to look into that as well because I think that could be a really cool way to style this.
This is kind of more of a TBC
item. I think it's going to take work, but I think it's so
worth it.
It's very cute. Keep your eyes peeled. This may
reappear.
The sizing was fine also. I'm glad I went with the medium so that the rib isn't really like stretched. Yeah, that is this one.
TBC. Keep your eyes peeled. Then, shockingly, we have more knitwear. I couldn't finish my Zara order without this knit. I just love it.
It's like a really beautiful
warm toned cream
colour. It's just really, really pretty and it's quite a fine
knit, but quite thick. It's very, very soft and the reason it's so super soft is because it's 100% cashmere,
which did make this one of the more expensive pieces in this haul, if not the most expensive piece, but
so soft.
Oh my god, I love cashmere so much and the thing I really love about it as well, in addition to the material, is the giant
neck on this. I've been looking for like a really big roll neck for a little while. Those of you who watched my
And Other Stories knitwear haul, I'll link that if you haven't seen it, basically reviewed a whole load of And Other Stories knitwear.
This included, actually. This is the like wrap
knitwear, except I've got it the other way around today. It's cute. I like it.
So
yeah, this was one of the two items I kept from that, but those of you who watched that will remember
that I was after like a big roll neck and the one from that haul was just so
grim and itchy and I couldn't deal and I'm hoping
that this is going to be the one. It's quite long.
So again, I'm hoping it'll look good with my leather leggings and I can wear it with like my biker boots
and it'll just be really like
cash and comfy, but I could also put it with some heels for like a nice dinner when it's just absolutely
freezing as it is right now. The UK is disgusting. I want to relocate. Someone please house me somewhere in a different country.
I'd be very appreciative. But yeah, anyway, very much looking forward to wearing this for the remainder of my time in the UK.
I think I like this one, which is uh
annoying because
it was really expensive.
Yeah, super, super soft, like really obsessed with how soft it is. The neck actually
isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I kind of tried this on
when I was in a little bit of a rush the other day and felt like it was a bit too neck bracey,
but actually I've just like pulled it down, almost like double up
its layering. So like really like pull it down and then pull this bit out
and it's actually like
not so bad. So yeah, I would recommend this. I think it's a really lovely, not super expensive cashmine knit.
The colour is beautiful. The fit is really nice.
You could go a little bit smaller if you didn't want it to be like too
oversized and it looks especially cute with my Zara leather leggings and then these
croc boots, which you will see a fair bit in the video, but these are from
River Island via ASOS and I love them so much.
I think they just help to really dress up
this outfit because I could easily wear this exact same thing with trainers and look very very casual. But yeah, this is
super cute. I'm gonna really struggle to part with this because I just feel really
snug in it. This would be a great one for like the festive season when you just want to throw on something that looks smart,
but it's also really comfy and can also be casual down as well. The way it flows as well being a slightly more oversized is just
really gorgeous too. My final two items are kind of the anomalies of the group.
They are not really like cozy related,
but one I couldn't resist throwing in my basket because I knew I would get the wear out of it and the other I
couldn't resist throwing in my basket because I just think it will be a great party option for so many of us
and I just really wanted to kind of like try it on. I probably won't keep it,
but I just wanted to try it on for you guys and give you my thoughts because I thought it was really cute.
But anyway, the item that I just knew I had to have is this ring.
I already have a ring like it from Zara and it's in this like triple
band style.
It's really really gorgeous. I
love it so much. I wear it every single day at the moment and I've seen it styled on the website like
stacked up on different fingers.
So one on like the ring finger and then a larger size on like the index finger and I thought I'd get
another one but in a different style. I saw this and it's just like a single
kind of loop and it's quite chunky and I thought that would look cute kind of stacked up
potentially on the finger next to it.
I just thought that could look really cute especially because I wear quite a lot of gold on this wrist.
So yeah, I picked that up and I'm really excited to wear them together.
I really like the fact that these don't tarnish either. They're like gold plated but they're silver underneath.
So it just means that my finger isn't going green if I like
quickly have to wash my hands and I don't have time to take my ring off like it's just
staying and it's lasting really well.
So I'm super happy with these and very excited to wear that.
And then my final item feels like such a contrast to what I'm wearing at the moment because I'm so
cozy and dressed down. I'm literally in like cashmere socks on the bottom and tracky bottoms and all of that.
But I love this top. Those of you who saw my content on Instagram in the summer,
especially my Marc Jacobs campaign, will remember I have like a feather
pink version of this almost. This is like
obviously not feather, but it's like sheer lace with polka dots on it. It's really gorgeous actually. Like the detail on this is just
really really pretty. But yeah, it's a similar style where it's kind of like a band
top and I thought this would look really really beautiful with like some tailored cigarette trousers and then just really simple black heels.
I just think this is a really nice option for party season and it's one
that you can wear with already existing items in your wardrobe and not have to have like a whole
full new outfit and it will store quite easily and nicely for
like future seasons and stuff like that. And I don't think it's something that will really go out of style
because it's just a very simple top and I just really like the detailing on it. I also like that it has
elastic on the back instead of a zip.
I just think that works
much better at keeping something in your wardrobe
over time because like your boobs can get bigger or smaller over time and
the top's still going to stretch with you and that is goals. So I got this in a small one.
I think it's going to fit perfectly by the looks of it. Very very excited to try this on.
I actually think this might be a keeper and I wasn't intending on that but
it's really pretty. Oh my god. I feel like a flower but I'm here for it.
My dishwasher is on in the background by the way guys if you're wondering what the weird noise is. This is so cute.
I had a slight fight to get it on because it doesn't zip
all the way. Like I feel like that's a much easier consumer experience when you have just like an easy zip that you kind of
zip in and straight up. It's attached along the top and then the zip comes from like here down which is really
quite odd. You would expect it to go the other way around if anything be attached at the bottom and there'll be a zip here but
it goes the opposite way. But apart from that it was fine. I'm really happy with the sizing of it. It's so cute.
I really like it. I feel like this is such a lovely piece to have in your like occasion wear wardrobe.
Super super pretty. With these Topshop cigarette trousers it really
like flatters my waist and hips as well. Like it's got that nice hourglass shape to it.
I don't have the biggest boobs
so the combination of these two are just like doing the most for my figure and I really really appreciate that. So so cute.
I've paired it with my
June shoes as well. They're like a square toe. I don't know if I can show you there.
You can see it a bit better. Yeah, they're a square toe and
I just think they're really cute, really simple. Like the whole outfit is very very simple.
It's quite timeless as well as much as this top is obviously quite a statement.
I do feel like it's one of those pieces that you could have in your wardrobe for a really long time. Really beautiful and a
really interesting
piece. Like very very unique and really really beautiful.
If you don't like to have so much like shoulder on show as well
you could also wear a shirt underneath this and I think that would look really really cute as well.
So this would almost act like a corset. It would be slightly bulky.
So if you have larger boobs, I do think with a shirt underneath that could be a bit much.
But if you don't want your back and kind of like chest area on show
you can definitely pair something like a shirt underneath this. Maybe a silk shirt if you want it to be less bulky
I would suggest. But yeah, I just love this. It's so cute.
I think this might be a new addition to my occasion wear wardrobe because it's just so sweet. Look at that.
Just don't stroke yourself in public because that would be weird. So that is it for this video.
Let me know which items were your favourites in the comments below and if you do
pick up any of these items make sure you tag me on Instagram.
