EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS HAUL

Hi lovelies and Happy Saturday! Apologies for not blogging much last week, but life took over and now I am catching up with myself thank goodness.

Today I have a haul to show you from a brand that I frequently shop at everything5pounds.

EMBELLISHED NECKLINE PEPLUM TOP

The quality and fit of this top is fantastic. The material is not flimsy and thin. It has a lovely structure that is very comfortable and smooths over the body. The peplum feature kicks out at the right place and is very flattering. The chain is detachable so you could add your own to change it up. I bought this in a size 10/medium.

ZIP DETAIL TREGGINGS

These again have a slight thickness to them giving a quality feel. The piping, faux zip pockets and cuff bottom details add that little something more for a legging/trouser hybrid that can be worn casually or more formal. I would actually pair them with the top above. The zips are slightly unaligned which is perhaps why they are available for £5, but I don't actually mind that and see this as an added feature. Unfortunately these are no longer available in black, but you can buy them in a gorgeous mint shade. If I were to buy another pair I may size down as they are just a little big. It depends how you would like to wear them. I bought a size 10/medium.

RUCHED HEM LEISURE TROUSERS

I love the monochrome tribal print of these trousers and the ruched gather at the bottom of the legs. They have small pockets either side. These are an easy trouser to wear for work and play. They will go well with black or white tops, footwear and accessories. I bought these in a size 10. I am sorry that they are no longer available, but I will link here the trousers & leggings section so that you can check out some other fab designs.

Haul: New Look for 98p

Hello Lovelies. It's Friday yep, yep, yep :) Gotta love that feeling huh? I went shopping in town a few weeks ago and bought a jumper from New Look. When I got it home I realised it was a little big and the material made me itch so I had to return it which made me sad as it was rather pretty :( On the up side it meant I could buy something else :)

 

Mohair Bobble Hats £4.99 Each (Left: A Purple Toned Grey, Right: Cream). Cable Knit Design. One Size.


I always get into hats at this time of year and they are great to keep warm. This product also comes in many shades such as Khaki, Deep Pink, Pink, Dark Red and more. Here is a link to this product.

Grey Eyelet Knitted Boyfriend Cardigan £17.99.

I wanted to get a cardigan that was a little slouchy, a little cosy and just went with everything. I wanted to try this in an 8, but they only had a 10. It leans more towards the slouchy look I was going for though. I think I prefer this undone. I'm might pair it with leggings, ankle boots, a long top and perhaps a scarf.

 

 The Back 

 Eyelet Detailing

 The Oh So Cute Pockets ♥

 I am totally in love with this cardi. It also comes in other shades which I would like to get, but they may have to go on the Xmas list. Here is a link.

 

 2 x Black Ponti Treggings £11.99 Each In Sale.

You may remember me posting about these before in my Treg Me Up post. I have these in Charcoal Grey and Dark Red. I have those in a size 8. I assumed the Black would be the same, but they come up so much smaller. I had a credit note from the size 8's that I returned so I put that towards this haul too. I now have these in a size 10. Here is a link to these Treggings.

 

So as I returned the jumper and had a credit note I had absolutely no guilt in picking up these products as I only had to pay 98p :)

 

That's my wee haul peeps. What lovely things have you been buying recently? Let me know in the comments below.

 

Apologies for the change in font as Blogger playing up.

Treg Me Up

Hi Everyone. I hope that as many of you as possible have tomorrow off work to enjoy an extra long weekend. I dread Sunday's because that thought of going back to work the next day is always in the back of my mind, but not this weekend :)



PLEASE NOTE I TRIED THESE ON AFTER WRITING THIS POST AND REALISED THE BLACK COME UP MUCH SMALLER THAN THE DARK RED AND CHARCOAL GREY!

Today I want to share with you a clothing item that I think a lot of you will like.

Front

Back

I have had these New Look Dark Red Ponti Treggings for ages. I absolutely adore them as they are so comfy, yet they are an upgrade from just an everyday pair of leggings. They have front and back pockets like your average pair of jeans. There are belt loops around the waist. They fasten with a button and zip to the front. These slip on very easily, but because they have more of a trouser feel than leggings they feel a bit smarter. I think these are great for everyday, but would look great to take you into night time as well. Sometimes I wear these with a t-shirt half in, half out. I think they would look great with a shirt/blouse and some ankle boots for a smarter look. These are made up of Polyester, Viscose and Elastane. I feel like these pull me in nicely, but they really are comfy. For reference I am a size 8-10. These fit me well between both sizes and I bought a size 8. I would suggest going a size down if you are not between sizes. They do wrinkle ever so slightly behind the knees, but I think that is mainly because they are a bit thicker than most leggings. I still wear these in the summer though as I wouldn't be any warmer in these than if I wore jeans. I am about 5ft 3 and these are quite long on me. From crotch to ankle these appear to be a 31inch leg. Here is a link to this pair that are £16.99.

I was desperate to get more of these and on a wee shopping trip I managed to pick up these in Charcoal Grey and Black. The Black appear to be called Mid-Rise Treggings on the website, but they look the same as the ones I have. Also the tags on them say Ponti, but on the website it's spelt Ponte just so you know. I actually bought three pairs of the black as I will probably wear those the most and black fades quicker than other colours. These are such a wardrobe staple for me and for £16.99 I think they are a total bargain. I was tempted to try the size 6 in store to see if they would fit a little better behind the knees, but the waist looked too small and I was too lazy. I saw online ages ago that they also had these Treggings in Green and Brown, but I never saw them in store. I wish I had ordered them online now :(

While writing this post and checking out the New Look website I notice that they have these Treggings Dark Red Teens for £11.99 and Black for £11.99. If you can fit into those sizes and save money then why not. It looks like the only difference is that they have 5 pockets instead of 4. You know how you get the mini pocket inside of one of your front pockets on some jeans. They also have the Ladies Treggings in Blue Denim for £14.99 or the Teens Dark Blue Denim for £9.99. I wonder if the Teens come in a better length for us shorter gals?

I hope I gave you all the information you may have wanted in this post. I was thinking of doing an OOTD/OOTN with these. If you would like to see that just let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all
