Everything Five Pounds Review 

07/06/2017

So I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook on my phone sitting in the hospital with Aaron (who’s currently recovering from surgery on his lung – sounds dramatic, but it’s not) and saw on the Money Saving Expert page that the site Everything5Pounds.com had a sale on their shoes with most of them reduced to just £1.99…£1.99 people!!! Check out the post here.
They source their stock from top high-street brands – which could include M&S, Next, Zara, Topshop and River Island – including other branded and unbranded items directly from manufacturers and sell everything online for just £5!
So I obviously had to click and scroll until I found something that wasn’t too cheapy/tacky looking, add it into my basket and make the snap decision that I would be writing up a review on the blog about the experience and quality of what arrived.
They don’t actually disclose the brand on the website and everything has the labels cut out, so getting a particular brand is pot luck.
I ordered 2 pairs of shoes – with those plus the cost of shipping, my grand total was £7.98 – for 2 pairs of shoes AND shipping!!
So this is what they looked like on the website;

I just know that Aaron’s going to hate the boots – but I don’t care, they’re so frickin cool 😎 
So, let’s get on with the review. 
What arrived? 
Well, they arrived in good time and they were indeed the same as they were on the website! However, I’m having some second thoughts on the boots – I’m going to need to experiment with styling them a bit, but for £1.99 I can’t complain! 


Can you tell if it’s a branded piece and if so, what brand?! 
Not known brands, but the boots came in dust bags – that’s a winner in my books!
Quality
They’re pretty much what I expected in terms of quality – think the discount store that stocks the random brands you’ve never heard of and could always rely on to get your trusty Miss Sexy school trousers from and you’ve got an idea of the quality.
Comfort 
The boots are a lot more comfortable than the pumps, but I reckon with a bit of wear that they’ll be a lot more comfortable. 
Check out my unboxing video on my channel here;

Verdict
Overall, I’m quite happy with my purchases – I don’t feel like I’ve pissed money up the wall and think that I’ll get more than their worth in wear. Cost per wear is an important factor people! 
I’d recommend them for a bargain, it’s pot luck but I guess that’s the fun of it 😉
Let me know what you thought of this post and if you’re enjoying my shopping review series! 
Until next time…

    What a fun topic! I’ll reserve judgement about the boots though. You’re right….a bit of styling may be needed to make them ‘pop’. 🙂 I’m really unfamiliar with the UK market now so I can’t help with the lack of branding.
    I shall definitely have a peek at that site and get a feel. Nice choice sweetheart. Looking forward to the next ‘victim’! xx

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
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
