The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Online Shopping Review Series – Zaful

26/02/2018

It’s been a while since we had one of these hasn’t it?! Lol, just kidding, I only did one on Black Betty last week.
So I’m here today to talk about the online discount fashion store Zaful and some of the bits that I’ve picked up as part of this series!
They’re a Hong Kong based brand which has been gaining a lot of momentum over the last year and have a lot of discounted trend led pieces. I’ve heard of them quite a lot over the last year and actually have a swimsuit from them (unknowingly lol) which I purchased as part of my Nasty Dress Review – they’re well known for their swimwear, but I thought I’d give some of their standard clothing line a try to see if they’re worth your hard earned cash!
I placed my order through their app on the 19th of January 2018
Here are screenshots of the pieces I selected for today’s review – I decided to go for three pieces which ended up at just over £30 including shipping;

What arrived?

The order came in two parts, first to be received was the white and burgundy windbreaker – a little bit annoying that it didn’t all come at once, but I guess it was to avoid customs charges as it came from China!
It’s pretty lightweight and I can’t comment on whether it’s waterproof as I haven’t had the chance to test it out in the rain. I’d say it’s more of a jacket for show, just not for practicality! It’s very loud (you know when you wear something and every time you move, you hear the fabric a mile off), but it looks great in photos!

Can we also take a moment to appreciate how I’ve actually managed to do my eyeshadow quite nicely in comparison to my usual? Someone got Aaron to buy an Urban Decay Naked Heat palette and now feels like a “proper blogger” lol!
My favourite piece of the bunch has got to be the white jersey jumper with the red rose embroidery on the sleeves! It fits beautifully, the embroidery is so different as it’s not completely flushed to the fabric, giving it a petal like effect – beautiful!

The dress was really cute, but a little bit long for my petite frame – I imagined it being a little bit shorter so I think I’ll be taking it up a tad to make it more flattering on me – I thought this would look really good in the winter with some thick knit tights and some DM’s (of course!) or with some white sandals and bag for the summer! The fabric of this has an unusual texture and if you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, I’m sure you’ll know that stripes are my fave!
Unfortunately, this wasn’t a winner in terms of fit – I liked the idea of it, but when it came to trying it on it was very restricting and not comfortable at all. I also put it on when I still had in my plaits from the night before and no joke, looked like an Amish person 😂

Verdict

✅ Wide range of products available
✅ Easy to use app – you’ve got a lot of shopping pages and a social network section where you can share your purchases with other users which is pretty cool!
✅ PayPal available as a payment option
❌ Long shipping times
I liked everything that I received, but loved the jumper more than anything else! I’d definitely recommend Zaful if you’re looking for fast, trend led fashion, but be warned that the shipping times are quite lengthy!
Stay tuned for some more budget fashion review series and let me know if you’ve shopped with Zaful in the comments below!

    Gaby you’re literally the most adorable and photogenic person!! And literally everything looks good on you. It’s a shame that the dress was a bit dodge but you still rock it and I absolutely love the rose embroidery on the-jumper. I’m totally appreciating the amazing eyeshadow too 😉

      Thank you lovely and lol!! I love the style of them but as I’m quite short think I need to stick with the petite range so they look good! ❤️

    You can genuinely pull anything off and always look super cute! Even if you don’t like the dress so much, it still looks lovely on you. I always love posts and videos from clothing websites like Zaful, Shein etc because I love to see which products are actually worth buying. Might have to have a browse on there! I also love your eyeshadow in the photos with the jacket x

So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
