ZARA HAUL

Like many women, I LOVE Zara – they do chic, trendy pieces so well at such a good price. I recently did a haul (I usually buy a lot online and then return a lot of it) and decided to film it! This is my first foray into the haul video and I would love your feedback on it… Did you like it? Any suggestions on how to do better? Do you want me to film more?

Enjoy!

    I liked the video and would like to see more! It was nice to see stuff on an actual person! Would help to know what size you purchased since sizing can be random with Zara. Editing was amazing, btw. One suggestion is to maybe be a little more succinct in your commentary around the clothing and not sure the cuss/curse words were necessary…just my opinion.

    I LOVED the haul video and would really love to see more – specifically whatโ€™s in your haul, and how you would style it with some of your existing pieces maybe. Also it would be really useful if you could let us know how much each piece cost and what you think of the quality for the price. Another thing that I find useful (sometimes) in haul videos is if the person making the video says what size they bought and if they sized up or down (as lately so many items are oversized, it sometimes really helps if someone is looking to order the same item). Thanks so much! Love your style

    Yaass, you should do more hauls. Btw the long b+w dress looked amazing on- you should reconsider. and I love the white mules so cute for spring!

    This was the most realistic clothing-trying-on video Iโ€™ve ever seen. Especially the self-deprecating comments in the mirror lol, pretty much exactly what I go through when I try stuff on! Thank you!

    I always like your perspective on fashion!! And you make me laugh… “I would just f*%ing spill something on these pants” is something I’d be thinking…
    Keep doing what you’re doing – loving it. โ™ฅ

    Love the video! Love the look of the linen blazer looks a tad too oversized but I still think it looks cute. Do more bag picks! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    First off, LOVE the first long gray blazer I may have to go get that, like today. I also think the floral dress is so pretty and is so Reformation-esque I really think you should keep it (or you can send it me to also!). But totally understand if you hate the print I have a hard time with florals myself.

    Keep doing these videos, I think hauls are so fun! Love the above ideas of you using new pieces you get with some older things in your closet. “I would style this with this and this” kind of thing.

    xoxo Emily

    The black and white dress was so flattering on you!! Keep!! Also, do you mind me asking what size you bought in the joggers!? Iโ€™m only 5โ€™4 and I feel like denim and joggers are always a tough-go for me! Please do more haul videos, they help SO much!!

      I got a S – they fit pretty well and are super comfy. So glad you like the hauls – will do an Aritzia one shortly!

    LOVE this haul video. Your honesty is so relieving and also you’re hilarious – white pants are just asking to be ruined. HA! I loved that two-toned dress on you, but I totally get the uncomfortably clingy thing. If you’re looking for a more vintage dress with a smaller floral print, you should check out the new spring line from Rouje. I LOVE the new GABIN dress, but I haven’t mustered up the courage to buy it yet.

    Love these types of videos! Zara has a lot of great linen pieces in their collection this year. Im a blazer junkie also. I just picked up their linen gingham checked double breasted blazer and eyeing the matching pants for work and a linen trench coat similar colour to the tan blazer in your video.

    Love the haul video, and please keep doing them. I love the long plaid trench, the mules and both pair of sweat pants. The white ones do look good on you, BTW but I understand the fear of getting them dirty. For me, it’s paws and noses and fur that get all over my clothes!
    Can’t wait to see the Aritzia haul (one of my two favorite places to shop).
    Have you ever tried shopping at Everlane? I think you would like a lot of what they have to offer. Excellent quality and totally ethical too.
    XO, Gina

    I never comment on fashion blogs but just loved this video. So interesting to hear your thought process and seeing you styling things ‘in action’. Please do lots more, even going through pieces you already have. I love fashion/style but my biggest issue is not knowing how to wear different pieces, and whilst looking at blog images can be inspiring, it’s so much more useful to see you styling a whole load of outfits in one go. Thank you. PS. Did you keep the blazer? I loved it on you.

        Oh and would love a post on investment pieces e.g. blazers. I’m trying to buy key pieces like that (plus pumps, a black work dress, jeans, tees etc). Would love to see your picks. I also love the fact we get more of your personality in the videos. You look so beautiful and serious in the posts, it’s great to hear you dropping the F-bomb occasionally ๐Ÿ˜‰ xx
