Live Life, Have great leggings. Top 5 e-stores for Leggings

Editorial Review of E-stores for Leggings  

You can love them or hate them but for most of us, leggings are a critical part of the wardrobe . You can dress them up or dress them down to suit almost any occasion.......

You can use them as layers in the winter when heading to work,

Active wear when out with the kids,

Dress them up with a sparkly top to hit the town,

Or use them as comfy clothes for around the house.

Given that they play so many roles, why is it that we often end up with simply a plain black pair? So today at Shopper Concierge we are reviewing 5 e-stores for leggings that hopefully open your eyes to all that the world of leggings has to offer.

Shopper Concierge Top 5 e-stores for Leggings

1. Black Milk Clothing

The designer fashion legging, this store offers stand-out designs featuring just about every pattern you could possibly think of including Star Wars, Galaxy and middle earth ranges. They are very affordable and can be worn day or night. Our pick today is the human muscle:

2. American Apparel 

The US online store only offers one style of legging but the great news is they offer it in 38 different colour options, so if you are looking for a colour other than black then head to American Apparel to check out their colour range.

3. 1800 Leggings

The thing that makes 1800 leggings different to the other sites is that rather than offering different colours or designs, they focus on the different styles such as Jeggings ( jean leggings), Booty Booster (that apparently accentuate your curves) and Leggings with skirts already attached. They also sell a range of mens leggings, just so the guys don't feel left out.

4. TS 14 Plus

Leggings are not just for the super skinny among us. If you do have gorgeous curves and you want to celebrate them by wearing leggings, then one place to head to is TS 14 Plus, with sizes between 14-24.

5. Undie Warehouse

What if you still want to buy basic black pair ? We suggest heading to the Undie Warehouse where they sell well known brands such as platinum or Ambra. And if you do want a slight variation on the basic black, then they have the Leatherette style and yes, you guessed right, leggings that look like leather

 So there you have it, variations on the basic black legging, designs, colours, styles and sizes, we hope we have opened your eyes in the world of leggings.

Bags on a budget, Bags under $120

One of the best ways to keep up with the latest styles each season is to invest in a couple of handbags that keep your look fresh and help you transition from casual wear to a night outfit. The problem.... bags can be expensive. 

Often the only brands you  think of when you think bags, are the big name designers i.e. Bally, Chanel, Burberry and Fendi to name a few, exsy right?

Take it from Shopper Concierge, the secret to finding great bags at a great price .... is simply to shop around. There are many online contemporary boutiques, that won't immediately spring to mind, that sell good quality fashionable bags at very reasonable prices, you just need to be prepared to go looking at an e-store that maybe you haven't visited before. Cast your net farther afield! 

To prove our point we set ourselves a budget of $120 ( including shipping) and went in search of the best bags under this price. Here is what we found.....

Top 5 E-Stores with Bags under $120

1.Top shop UK

Great range of bags at very good prices and with a flat shipping rate of £9 it makes shopping TopShop a viable option from Australia. Our pick today :

EMBOSSED CROC DUFFLE  Price: £69.00 or $113.73 Australian (included standard shipping)

2. Dorothy Perkins

Another great UK retailer that offers a range of bags at sharp prices combined with a flat shipping fee. We love the camoflauge stud duffle bag priced at £30.50 after shipping or $50.27 Australian

3. Birdsnest

When asked the question on where to shop for bags, Birdsnest may not spring to mind, but on a budget of $120 for a bag, we recommend that you check them out. Our tip: Mink Pink Steal My Sunshine Tote on sale at the moment for $54.95 reduced by $20 from their standard price.

4. Have to Have

Have to Have is a boutique e-store that sells accessories made from unusual natural materials. We couldn't go past the THE ALGARVE - NATURAL CORK HANDBAG for $101.00 and with free shipping, it is definitely a have to have!

5. Down that little lane:  

Another unique Australian e-store that has a beautiful range of small designer collections which includes bags. While not an extensive range they have some great reasonably priced bags. When shopping Down That Little Lane,  you feel like you have stumbled onto something no one else has and you will consider it a real find! Check out the cross body leather shoulder bag in Denim by Paper Windmill for $75

So shopping around does deliver great results when on the hunt for bags.
