A Guide to Looking Slimmer What Ever Your Shape

If you look around you whilst out shopping you'll see that every woman will have a body which is a unique shape and size.Therefore it is very important you appreciate your figure and the way you look in order to find the best fashion styles for you! This will not only mean that you always look your best but it's a great way to feel young and look slimmer!

Apple Body Shaped

The apple body shape is a very common one amongst women. If you have this body shape and want to wear dresses which show of your curves you might want to try wearing some quality, well-fitting underwear which will make your stomach appear flatter. As for tops and skirts you will want ones that have a broad neckline. Also try and stay away from tight fitting clothes. Why not try wearing a belt around the waist as this will make you appear thinner.

Pear Body Shape

Pear shaped women tend to have less of a bust but have extended waistline and sometimes weighty legs. These women should wear outfits that show off their shoulders in the form of strapless dresses and singlet tops. You want to avoid bringing attention to your behind area so try to avoid wearing tight fitting jeans. Wearing patterned tops with frills will draw the attention away from your waist and will bring it to your upper body.

Hourglass Body Shape

This particular body shape is one that women want. Women with this particular shape usually have a large bust and nipped in waist and hips which appear to look equal to the bust. Women with this body type usually display it by wearing tight fit jeans, pencil skirts, and well fitted trousers to show off their legs. A fitted dress will also show of their figure but don't show too much skin as this will draw unwanted attention.

Rectangle Body Shape

Women with this body shape generally have broad shoulders and an average size waist therefore a round neck shirt would give them more of a feminine appearance. Stay away from halter necks as that will draw the attention to your shoulders. Wearing darker colours would also give a much slimmer appearance.

If you're looking to change your style and get a new look for summer without the big price tag then check out the E5P website. You'll find a full range of ladies tops, dresses and shoes for just £5! So go online and grab yourself a bargain!

Top Ten Things We Love About Cheap Women’s Clothes

Over the years the word cheap has developed too many negative connotations and is used in too many different contexts to really be a solid definition of anything. Cheap women’s clothes for example are perceived as being made from low quality materials in unflattering shapes and poor fits. As all of us who shop at Everything5Pounds know though, this couldn't be further from the truth.

When it comes to ‘cheap’, they mean low cost. They put it in their name after all. In celebration of cheap women’s clothes, we’re going to take a quick look at the top ten reasons why we love them.

1# They are low cost, meaning we can buy more.

2# Fashion is becoming more and more disposable and trends change so fast it is tough to keep up. Thanks to the availability of cheap clothing we can always be on trend but not out of pocket.

3# It doesn't matter if we only wear something once.

4# You can mix and match cheap pieces with more expensive ones. No one will be able to tell.

5# We can indulge our love of shoes. A pair for every occasion? At £5 a pair you can.

6# You can create a whole outfit for £20.

7# There is no excuse not to look good. Cheap in price, high in quality means more clothes and more choice.

8# We can pick ourselves up when we are feeling blue without breaking the bank.

9# We can be adventurous.  Seen a style but not sure it’ll suit you, at £5 per item you can try it out. Be experimental.

10# They allow us to have the ability to express ourselves and have fun with fashion.

The list goes on and on but if you weren't a convert before I'm pretty sure this left will have left you reaching for your mouse.

Remember cheap doesn't always mean bad, think cheap is good for my wallet and my wardrobe.

Happy Shopping Ladies!

How To Choose Lingerie That Looks Sexy On You

So you've been planning a romantic evening with your loved one.... You've got food, wine, candles and music all organised but there’s just one more cheeky thing on your mind – what lingerie should you wear?! You want to add that special sparkle to your evening and made sure that as well as dressing to impress, you want to look just as good underneath. Whilst he might not know the different between different types of lingerie, he will definitely sense if you feel comfortable and confident.

So how do you choose the right lingerie set to flatter your figure and boost your confidence? We've decided to list a few different aspects you should consider when picking out the perfect set.

Colour

The right colour will enhance your natural beauty. You want to look happy and healthy so try not to pick colours that will wash you out. Some colours can be worn by everyone, for example a pastel pink set will definitely look cute and flirty no matter what your complexion is. If you're unsure what colour to choose then definitely go for black! You can't go wrong with a gorgeous lacy black set. My second suggested colour is red as it's always seen to be a very sexy colour. If you’re on a tight budget you can be sure that you can always find black cheap lingerie that's got that added touch of luxury.

Texture

Lace, satin, silk or mesh are always a good bet when picking out a cute lingerie set. If you're after a lingerie set that's comfortable, sexy and feminine then lace has it all! If you're after a luxury feel then definitely consider satin or silk! Silk tends to be more expensive as it's always associated with luxury lingerie but it will feel amazing against your body. A mesh baby doll or a chemise set will made you feel comfortable and certain sets will make you look cute and flirty.

Style

You want to choose a style that will enhance your best features yet hide your less favourite parts. Obviously when wearing lingerie you're completely exposed so picking one you feel comfortable in is a must! If you wish to cover up your tummy when choose a chemise or a baby doll set. For a bustier look that will also create the illusion of a slimmer waist then go for a corset.  However if you're feeling really confident and want to show off more flesh then try a classic bra and undies set!

No matter what you pick just make sure it's something you feel comfortable in! Men find confidence very sexy so take some time picking one that best suits you. If you're on a bit of a budget then you can find more cheap lingerie on the E5P website!

Tips for Choosing the Right Skirt

Women’s skirts come in all sorts of shapes, styles and sizes so choosing the right one can be difficult! What with the fashion industry becoming much more diverse you’ll find that skirts that range from petite to plus size.

Whether you’re going to work or just meeting some friends for lunch, you can’t go wrong by wearing a skirt. Where skirts come in all sorts of styles you will always be able to find a skirt to match the occasion. If you need to find the right skirt for a specific occasion but not sure which style you need then here are a few of my recommendations.

 

The Office Look

If you need to dress to impress and look smart when at work then I would definitely recommend a pencil skirt. This style of skirt should be matched up with a smart shirt and accessorised with a smart handbag and a smart jacket such as a blazer. Most professional women would say that a pencil skirt is an essential part of their work wear wardrobe.

Sexy, Fun and Flirty

If you’re going out for the evening and want to get noticed then I would recommend high waisted short skirts. They come in many different styles and patterns and are definitely a top trend for this year. The best way to wear this specific style of skirt is if you match it up with a crop top or a long shirt that’s tucked in. Match it up with accessories and a clutch bag and you’ll be ready to party in no time.

The Sweet Casual Look

This year you should invest some money into buying a maxi skirt. They come in a huge array of colours and can be worn anywhere. You can dress them down with a pair of flip-flops, a big hat and big sunglasses for when you’re going down the beach or grabbing some lunch with friends in the sun. You can also dress them up by wearing them with a pretty top and a pair of heels for that more sophisticated look. If you buy just a plain black maxi skirt you’ll find you can wear it with pretty much anything.

Sexy and Classy

Another style of skirt that’s very popular amongst women is the long maxi skirt with a slit down the leg. These skirts are sexy and stylish and are a great way to show of your legs. This particular style of women’s skirt works best with a pair of heels and a clutch bag.

What Should You Look Out For This Spring/Summer?

Spring is so close you can almost touch it! The flowers are starting to make an appearance and the days are slowly but surely beginning to warm up. Whilst all this is happening, what have you done to get yourself ready for the next few summer months? If you’re a bit stuck then here are a few must have items of clothing you should have to get your ready for the year.

Maxi Dress

Spring is just around the corner and a maxi dress should definitely be at the top of everyone’s must have list. Maxi dresses are flattering, light and are very comfortable. If you want to create that beachy look try to remember your glamorous oversized sunnies and a big floppy hat to keep the sun out of your face.

High Waisted Shorts 

If you haven’t done it already then get yourself a pair of High-Waisted shorts. This gorgeous orange pair will definitely get you in the mood for the next few Summer months! You’ll stand out from the crowd and will definitely look the part. These shorts come in 5 different colours so you need to check out the E5P website and make sure you have a pair ready for the start of Spring.

Blue Denim jacket

Although it’s starting to warm up during the daytime, the night is still pretty chilly. For all those sweet summer dresses you have you will definitely be needing a denim jacket to keep you warm. A denim jacket is pretty much one of the top essentials you need to have in your wardrobe. They will match any outfit and are always a little bit dressier than wearing a knitted cardigan.

The great things about cheap clothing websites is that you don’t always have to break the bank to look fashionable. Everything5Pounds is a cheap clothing website where all the items you see will only cost you £5, so whether it’s a new dress you want or a brand new pair of shoes you know that by shopping on E5P you’re bound to find yourself a bargain.

Boots For All Occasions

First off, I just want to get something straight – I am a self-confessed shoe addict! I don’t know what it is but I can’t walk past a shop without wondering if they have new footwear in. It’s kind of like a hobby for me, collecting different styles and colours. My mum tends to get quite annoyed because my room is just absolutely covered, although she doesn't complain when she needs some nice heels to wear out to an office party!

At the moment, whether it’s the colder months I'm not sure, I've been collecting boots. I scour all corners of the World Wide Web looking for different styles I haven’t seen before.

In this blog post, I'm going to be taking you on a journey through the wonderful world of boots and which situations you can wear them in.

Ankle Boots

Velvet looking ankle boots are my favourite type of footwear at the moment, so I had to kick off my list by mentioning them. They look great with most items of clothing, but for me it’s all about rocking the skinny jean/nice boots look. I tend to wear this style around college and out on shopping trips with the girls.

Knee High

The pinnacle of the ladies boots department has to be the knee high style. I tend to wear these with leggings or a skirt. They always look a bit daunting but I find knee high boots to be one of the most comfy of shoes to wear. It’s just annoying as my mum is always going through my knee high collection to find some to wear to work. I really wish I wasn't the same size as her sometimes!

UGG Boots

UGG boots and similar looking styles are really comfy and perfect for the winter months as the sheep skin lining keeps your feet and legs snuggled. They’re perfect to wear with jeans but ladies be warned, I ruined my first pair by wearing them out whilst it was raining.

Wellies

There’s no better childhood past time then jumping around and splashing in the puddles. I still love it to this day and look forward to going out wearing my wellies when it’s raining. Okay, they’re not a ladies boot as such but I can’t imagine a man walking down the street wearing my pink jelly bean ones!

Ladies boots really are the king when it comes to shopping for footwear, that’s not to say that you need to spend a fortune when buying though. Everything5pounds.com add new boots all the time and as the domain name suggests, they’re not going to cost you a bomb.

Happy shopping!

They look great worn with trousers either to work or if you’re going somewhere casual and they look even better when put with jeans and worn on a night out. You can buy many different styles including patterned, sequinned and plain. One of the beauties of a batwing top is that they look great on any type of figure and actually compliment women with fuller figures.

Tunic

As well as being the standard type of uniform for a lot of fields, tunics look great no matter what. You can buy patterned and plain tunics from the site that look great with jeans and trousers. Tunics look great on almost any figure as they give the illusion of a tube body shape.

Blouse

How To Choose The Right Bag For You

Ladies bags come in all different styles, sizes, and colours. Handbags have even become a status symbol for ladies who can afford to buy expensive designers' bags. If you’re looking for some help when choosing the right bag then here are a few tips to help you.

Handbag
A handbag is a classic style of bag that can be simple enough to use at a non-formal event or you can also buy a more elegant and classy handbag that will fit well into your formal attire. Handbags are usually medium-sized so they will usually fit in your make-up bag, mobile phone, purse etc. The handles or straps of handbags vary, you can get handles that are long enough to go over your shoulder or ones that simply hang off your arm.

Satchel Bag
If you’re the type of person who goes to college/university or just like exploring different places then a satchel bag is the right bag for you! A satchel bag is ideal because it has enough room for some of your books and various personal belongings as well as easy access front pockets. Satchel bags usually have two handles, a short carry handle and a long over-the-shoulder strap, and are usually quite sturdy and durable.

Clutch Bag
Clutch bags require your whole hand to grasp them since they do not have handles. These types of bags are usually rectangular or are in the shape of an envelope and they can go from casual to formal depending on their designs and styles. Clutch bags are small but can be large enough to contain your lipstick, small purse, and your mobile phone. You can look for a bejewelled/sequin clutch bag if you’re attending formal parties or even go for that plain black clutch to match every outfit. You can find loads more clutch bags on the E5P website.

Shoulder Bag 

Shoulder bags are one of the most common types of bags. They come with adjustable straps depending on your preferred length. Shoulder bags come in different sizes but are commonly made large enough to contain everything you need for a shopping trip or day out. This type of bag is ideal for women who are not fond of carrying a bag by the hand.

Remember that when you’re choosing a bag you have to consider your purpose for having it, do you need it for a special occasion? Shopping trips with friends? Or just as an everyday bag for college or work?

If you’re looking for a new bag that won’t end up costing you a fortune then check out the Everything5Pounds website for a bag that will cost you just £5!

Boots To Match Every Occasion

Women's boots have been in the fashion industry for centuries. They are perfect for every season: spring, summer, autumn and especially in winter. Women's boots come in many styles, shapes and colours.  You’ll find that each pair vary whether it’s the style, material or the size of the heel. You can get anything from stilettos, chunky heels to small wedges.

Women's boots can vary in length, from ankle boots, mid-calf boots to even knee high boots. Leather boots are very trendy and look great when teamed up with skinny jeans, shorts and even jackets. Boots that have chunky buckles and studs are very popular with the younger generation since they add that extra spark of uniqueness to them.

For a fun night out, trendy fringed boots matched with plain skinny jeans complement each other very well. Knee high boots give a more sophisticated and stylish look with straight jeans. This look is perfect for casual dinners or for when you want to make a style statement.

Mid-calf women's boots reach a little below your knee and are very easy to wear. They come in all sorts of different colours but the most popular ones are black, browns and grey. They can be worn with formal clothing like trousers and shirts which means you can wear them to work or with your casual pair of jeans for days out with your friends or family.

Ankle boots are great because the ones with a heel can be worn with jeans to dress up your outfit or flat ankle boots can be worn to create that casual look with shorts or dresses. These types of boots also come in different colours which can give you that extra funky look.

From fashion boots to work boots, women's boots will always go with an outfit that’s in your wardrobe. If you just want to be comfortable and you're not in the mood to really dress up just throw on a jumper, a pair of jeans and chuck on a casual pair of ankle boots.

5 Styles of Ladies Jackets Everyone Should Own

If you’re wondering what type of jackets you should be buying this year then I've narrowed it down to your 5 must have styles! Each style has its own purpose so you should never be stuck on what one you should wear. Each occasion has its own dress code so I've listed ones down from your lounge around jacket to your formal smart ladies jackets.

#1 The Dress-Up Jacket

Everyone needs a ladies jacket that is great for dressing up their comfiest pair of jeans. This one is great for when you want to go meet some friend for a meal or if you’re planning on going out for some catch-up drinks. The peplum style is still very elegant and fashionable, not to mention it makes your waist line appear thinner. Dress it up with a few sparkly accessories and you’ll be ready in no time

 #2 The Smart Jacket

There comes a time where everyone will need to rummage through their wardrobes to dish out their plain smart jacket. Well for £5 you can’t go wrong with this little Pinstripe number. It’s fully lined for comfort and will make your chosen outfit look smart and sophisticated. You can wear this jacket to formal meals, work or even to an interview.

#3 The Casual Jacket

The casual jacket comes in handy all year round as the weather can be quite temperamental. The neutral colour means that it will go with any outfit so if you’re in a rush you can just chuck it on and off you go! It comes with a hood so there no need to fuss around if it’s raining. This type of jacket is great if you’re popping to the shops, going round a friend house or having a casual meeting down the pub.

#4 The Lounge Around Jacket

For those days where it’s cold outside and you just want your comfort clothes this is definitely the jacket to get. It’s fleecy and fuzzy so what more do you want from a £5 jacket? It comes with pockets so you can even warm your hands up at the same time. This jacket can be used to layer up any old top or another thin jacket to keep extra warm. This is great for those lounge around days at home in front of the television.

#5 The Cropped Jacket

The cropped jacket is definitely a big trend for AW 2013. This particular ladies jacket is made with a hi-shine finish and not only is it waterproof, but it will add that special edge to your chosen outfit. Whether you decide to get this metallic colour or another printed design they’re perfect for the season ahead.
