Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
If you're joining me for the first time,
then of course, welcome.
Today's video is something that I've been wanting
to film for a while, been so excited.
And the brand Zaful, which if you haven't heard of before,
is a brand based in, I believe, China.
I think it's based in China.
And it's a really affordable clothing shop,
which is kind of like renowned for being
like really, really good quality,
like swimwear and like one-off fashion pieces.
But then there's also a few like
hit and misses in there as well.
So Zaful very kind of got in touch with me
and offered to send me some things to show you guys.
So I was so excited when they got in touch.
And of course I said yes,
because I love watching Zaful hauls.
Not just Zaful, but other similar kind of brands.
I love watching like Patricia Bright's videos recently
that she's been filming.
So yes, I jumped at the chance of working with them
on this video and I'm gonna jump straight in
and show you what I got.
So firstly, I will say as well,
I was very impressed with the shipping time
because I know these websites can sometimes
take up to like a few weeks for your things to arrive.
I, however, ordered the items
and then within about 10 days, including the weekend,
so about a week working day, seven working days,
I had everything.
And it all arrived in one package, which is this.
So I also just wanted to show you the inside packaging.
So they come in these Ziploc bags,
each individual item individually wrapped.
In these Zaful branded bags, there's one like this
and then there's also one in like a black like that.
So I thought that was nice to have each individual item
wrapped up in these kind of bags.
So I'll start with this one.
I have all the prices out in front of me
so I can tell you exactly how much they all cost.
So this is the first item that I got and I love this.
The quality is so nice.
It's really, really soft, really thick.
It's essentially this hoodie
with like black drawstring toggles here
and it says C'est La Vie Paris on the front.
So I got it in a size large.
You might be able to see it's kind of like
fur lined a little bit.
I don't know how well you'll be able to see that.
But it just goes to show how cozy
and soft it is on the inside as well.
So it is cropped, which I like this style
and I wear them with mostly with high-waisted jeans
or maybe like joggers for like casual Sundays.
And yeah, I just thought it was so cute.
I haven't got a white hoodie like this one.
So pick this up.
This was $28.49 and I got it in a size large.
Like I said, I wanted it to be a bit oversized
but I'd probably say it like fits me well.
It is a little bit slouchy fit, which is perfect for me.
So I would recommend sizing up in that instance.
And yeah, I just thought this was really cute.
Everything that I show in this video, I'll show it on
but I'll also list it down below
in case you're interested in checking it out yourself.
So the next item is this leather faux leather jacket
and it's like a biker style jacket
with like loads of zip detailing, buckles along the bottom.
It's got the Zaful branded logo tag
which I love their branding by the way.
I think it's really smart and chic.
And yeah, so again, this is got a different brand
on the inside.
Got it in a size large.
I believe it was either because large
was the only one available
or I'd highly recommend you check out this size chart
and size conversion chart as well
because each individual item clearly
is from different brands, different suppliers
and they all size up slightly differently.
And usually Asian sizes come up a lot smaller
than our sizes here in the UK.
Yeah, I got this in a large, fits well
and the detailing is all silver
which I love on a biker black jacket.
Yeah, I just thought it was really cute.
So I picked that up and this was $35 and 99 cents
which I think is a great price and affordability
for a faux leather biker style jacket like this one.
So next up, this piece is super delicate and cute
and it is this body in this white lace
kind of crochet material, mesh material.
So it's completely sheer.
So it's entirely up to you how you want to wear it.
I would wear it with like either a nude cami,
a white cami or even just like a nude
or white bralette underneath
because of the intricate detailing.
It's quite, even though it's sheer,
it's not like a complete sheer mesh,
like long sleeve top, that kind of mesh top.
Because of the detailing, like I say,
it is, it's not as sheer as it kind of appears.
So a little lace bralette underneath
or white or nude bralette, perfect.
And that's probably how I would wear it.
And this detailing along the waist kind of cinches you in.
It's just so pretty.
It also clips at the bottom.
So, and it zips down the back as well.
Again, with Zaful's branding on.
So again, looking at the size and chart,
I picked out a medium for me.
And unfortunately, the body is not long enough for me,
even though the actual top itself fits.
I'm either going to have to do a bit of a DIY
and crop it here.
The only thing is that there's a zip on the back
or to be honest with you, more likely,
I'm just gonna, instead of clipping it at the bottom,
just tuck it in and it works absolutely fine.
It's far too pretty to send back or get rid of
because I absolutely love this top.
It's just so delicate and pretty
and looks so much more expensive than what it was.
It was only $13.64 this one.
So I would highly recommend getting this one.
I believe they have it in like a maxi style dress as well.
But yeah, I picked up just the top.
This could be worn any time of the year.
This tucked into some like faux leather pants,
like at this time of the year in autumn,
like going out for a nice meal.
Or of course, like during summer with a maxi skirt
or little shorts or something.
It's just so pretty, so versatile
and definitely like a statement piece to make an outfit
that little bit more fancy.
Okay, this next piece comes
in a slightly different branded bag.
It says Misomo on the front, design collection.
It's one of those pieces that I was like,
do I get, do I not?
I loved it on the website.
I think it looked really pretty,
but it's completely see-through
and I'll show you what I mean.
It's a mesh body, again, similar to the last one,
but instead of wearing like a nude bralette with it,
I would actually wear this under something,
like under a plain white shirt or something like that.
And it's more like in this nude fabric
with kind of a rose gold lining,
clips at the back like a bra would.
Also clips around the waist as well.
And yeah, it goes into like a thong as well at the bottom,
which means no BPL, which is always good.
I love this sort of extra detailing here along the front.
And yeah, that was kind of my intention
to wear this more as underwear
and then paired with like a loose linen white shirt
with that, a pop of metallic popping through,
I just think is so fab in my mind.
So I'll style it up, see what I think.
And yeah, it's just really pretty.
I think it's a unique piece.
It's something out of my comfort zone,
a little bit different.
I do like to pair like plain white shirts
with a little lace bralette or something that,
you know, if you wear it slightly off the shoulder,
you'd be able to see that pop of lace
and pretty material come through.
So that's kind of my intention with this one as well.
And that was $15 and 36 cents.
I just love this packaging.
It's like kind of frosted as well,
which is very nice.
Oh yes, I remember picking this up.
So they had this in different colors.
It's just like a basic white jumper.
But what I really liked about this,
the simple branding and also the really high neck.
So you can kind of see there what I mean.
And it's also cropped.
It's kind of like, if you saw it close up in person,
it's not quite ribbed, but if you imagine ribbed,
but like checked, so ribbed both ways, if that makes sense.
It's kind of like that.
It's like, if I try and show you close up
what the material looks like,
you might be able to see.
See what I mean?
But it's like a really fine detail ribbed,
but it's also ribbed both ways,
like horizontally and vertically.
So it's kind of like a waffle material,
that kind of vibe.
The neck seems quite small.
So it's gonna have to be quite high, I think.
So it's gonna be one that you're gonna have to put on
before you do your makeup,
because, and even still,
you're probably gonna end up at the end of the day
with a bit of makeup on that collar.
I will also say,
I think this is probably one of the best value
for money pieces that I got.
It was only $14.99.
And like I said,
they did have a variety of different colors as well.
But yeah, really like that.
Next up, I got this little lace and satin,
not satin, like the velvet kind of material vest top.
And as you can see, it's a very simple, basic piece
that I'll just be able to pair with high-waisted jeans,
like tucked in maybe,
on like a night out for dinner or something.
But yeah, I just thought this was super cute and pretty.
And it's kind of like in a dusky rose kind of color,
which I think is a good color to wear this time of year.
I love to wear like earthy tones in autumn,
like beige, camel kind of colors, dusky rose colors,
all the earthy tones I really like in autumn.
So yeah, perfect little basic.
And it's really thick as well, really good quality.
And at only $14.99, I think that was a good buy.
Next up, I have a gray and white checked shirt.
It's kind of like unique in terms of its fit and its design.
So I love that obviously these colors are just so me.
I love grays and whites.
And that kind of checked pattern is a bit different,
just, you know, as opposed to just a plain basic,
even though I don't like lots of pattern.
I don't mind like a checked subtle pattern like this.
I got it in a size medium, it was $18.99.
And it's got nice sleeve detailing here on the ends,
which you can tie up.
And then it's got like a, can you see that?
It's like a cropped at the front kind of style
and slightly longer at the back.
It's actually a really nice material.
I know sometimes with these kind of websites,
if you get shirts or blouses,
it can be quite a cheap and not nice fabric
to wear against the skin.
This is kind of like a linen mix, it's really nice.
I definitely recommend this one.
Okay, so this next piece is again another basic as always.
It's just this gray kind of like knit ribbed top.
It looks pretty small to be honest with you.
I probably could have gone up a size or two.
I got it in a size medium.
The reason why I thought it would be okay
is because it's versatile in terms of it's a wraparound top,
but it is quite small to be honest with you.
It's definitely something that I could wear
either with very high waisted jeans
or something just in the summer
or something that could be worn like under
as a layering piece.
But anyway, I got it in a gray color.
I do believe they had different colors available.
It ties around your waist several times
and then into a bow
and I love this kind of ribbed knit fabric.
The fabric is really nice.
I would just recommend sizing up a few sizes.
I wish I'd have gone for like a large
or even an extra large if they'd have had one.
And as a staple piece, it's $17.99,
which I think is affordable.
To be honest with you,
I do think that that is a little bit pricey for Zaful
just because they are very affordable.
If this was something like in Zara
and in a better size fit for me,
it still fits me, but if I'd have got it in a larger size,
I would have easily paid, what, $17.99,
maybe like 13, 14 pounds, something like that.
I would have paid that for this.
And as always, it will be listed below
along with everything else.
Okay, so this next piece is a gorgeous,
like thick gray knit cardigan with big pockets.
It's really long, so it covers your bum
where if you just wanna wear leggings in the top underneath
and it's kind of like a waterfall style front,
which is just kind of like left open and loose
and just draping down the front.
Love the like thickness and quality of this.
It does smell a bit, I will say that,
so I'll probably run it through a wash first.
But apart from that, it's really long and,
well, not really long, it's the perfect length for me
for wearing like with leggings.
And it's so thick, honestly.
It's just gonna keep me so warm,
even just like as a comfy around the house
casual kind of piece.
And then if you need to dash to the shops,
your outfit kind of looks put together.
Love this, would definitely recommend this.
I've not got a price in front of me,
so I will list it below for you to check out.
If they have other colors, I'd be tempted to get more
because this is a good staple for most of the year
in the UK, because let's face it,
Hurricane or Storm Brian has hit.
Even though it's only October,
it's super windy, cold, and wet outside.
So wearing cozy pieces like this inside
and as layering pieces outside is like a must here in the UK.
So I would definitely recommend this one.
And yeah, really nice.
Okay, moving on to the last piece.
I can see I've got it in a size medium.
It says on the bag, this was a two piece actually
that comes as a set for $24.99.
It's a bit more summery, this one.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I think I just saw it, loved it, wanted to get it,
but not really thinking this time of the year.
So this is the top and it's in like this white
with a bit of cream crochet along the side.
That is one thing I will say about getting things
from these kind of websites in white
is that sometimes if they have a little bit
of extra detailing, it's in white and also cream,
which is a little bit annoying,
but it still works, it's still fine.
So yeah, this is the top.
It's like a little crop top with a button detailing.
Love this neckline.
It's something different, something unique.
It's quite big actually looking at it
in terms of what it looked like on the website.
So maybe you can stick to true to size.
I only got this in a medium though, like I say.
So it does come up a little bit big,
but yeah, that's the top.
And then the bottom is like this maxi skirt
with, it's not done up,
but I'll show you what it looks like on anyway.
This high-waisted maxi skirt with that button detailing,
if you can see there, it goes all the way up the front
and it goes all the way down
with a slit up the leg as well.
This one was $24.99.
So for a two-piece, it's definitely worth the money.
I also would definitely recommend checking out
the two-piece in the co-ord section
because the prices are quite similar
to just like an individual item,
but you're actually getting two pieces
that you can mix and match as well.
So that outfit I'd love to wear together more often than not,
but also I would love to wear that top
with just like blue jeans or high-waisted jeans
just as an outfit any time of the year really.
So yeah, that is everything that I picked up
on this Zaful haul.
Let me know if you wanna see any more
of these kind of videos
because I love filming them for you guys.
And thanks again to Zaful for contacting me
and wanting to work with me on this video.
If you're interested in following me
on any of my social medias, I will link them all below.
It's just at Prairie Farrington.
And yeah, thank you so much for watching this video.
Give it a big thumbs up if you did like it
and I'll see you again next time.
Bye, guys.
Oh, where did my voice go then?
I think it's probably the first I've spoken this morning,
so that's why.
It was,
today's video, I was super excited to film
because I got in touch,
no, they didn't, they got in touch with me.
Because I recently,
I didn't get in touch with them.
Where's my dress on there?
What do you start with?
In fact, I'll start with this one.
In this video, I'll show you all
blah, blah, blah,
before a bed, a bedla,
for a faux leather biker style jacket.
Crochet style.
In fact, let me zip it up so you can see it properly.
So, how does it work?
What size should I get this in?
Let me just check.
Ah, that metab,
metab,
I can't even speak.
And I, oops,
that reminds me, actually,
I had a dream last night that I had a boob job.
Oh, I'm showing it, you're upside down there.
Let's see.
I've not got a price in front of me,
so I'll list it.
Excuse me.
