I did a huge Tesco gymwear haul – it's giving Lululemon for a fraction of the price & makes the dream airport outfit too

The 30-year-old is one of Scotland's biggest and most successful influencers, and even owns her own fashion label BLY.
But she still likes to pick up a pretty bargain when it catches her eye.
She previously praised Tesco's in-house fashion brand F&F for its amazing spring collection.
She said: "And oh my god, who is the buyer for Tesco? Chef's kiss. You deserve a pay rise for starters.
"A big a** pay rise because it's popping off."
And in a recent video, Abbie showed off the new gymwear pieces she picked up from the supermarket.
She bagged a pair of cream jogger shorts with black piping, and a quarter-zip sweatshirt to match.
"I can see me travelling in this", she said.
"The material guys, like really. Obviously I have a clothing brand, and one thing I pick up on is fabrics and they [Tesco] know their stuff.
"Imagine this travelling, this would be the perfect outfit. I actually do love wearing shorts, like cotton shorts when I'm flying because I always get too hot. So, this would be like my ideal attire."
'It's giving spring' cry Tesco fans as new comfy & flattering co-ord hits rails
She also picked up navy ribbed leggings and a matching zip up top which she hailed as a Lululemon dupe.
She said: "I'm not just saying this but their gym sets are giving Lululemon vibes.
"Like, the thickness and the quality in this gym set. Little matching blue leggings and they're kind of like ribbed effect.
"But honestly, I've seen some Lululemon stuff and I would honestly say this is the same quality. And these leggings are £14 and then your top is £12.50. So, literally less than £30 you're going to get a full gym set.
"You couldn't get that on most gym websites at all.
"And honestly, the quality, you can actually see how thick it is. It's not see through, like at all, like literally not see through."

Other shoppers were just as impressed with Abbie's finds, as one gushed: "I need to get to Tesco! The quality looks so good."
"Omg Tesco are winning at the moment", wrote a second.
Meanwhile, a third added: "F&F is giving."
Influencer Abbie returned to our TV screens last year as reality show The Agency: Unfiltered's second season aired on BBC Scotland.
The new series once again followed Aquarius Creative, Scotland's largest influencer agency, its founders Kirsten Cameron and Amy Moore, and their clients.
During the new series, Abbie revealed how she was scammed out of thousands of pounds.
The blonde beauty tearfully admitted that she nearly lost her fashion label BLY after hackers wiped out her business bank account.
Abbie said: 'BLY cost me around £20,000 just to get up and running.
'I had helped my mum and dad with buying a new home - so I was quite proud of the amount of savings I had managed to put away.
'And I thought when I launched BLY, I was quite settled and I would be fine.
'But when the scam happened, it was five days after me and my ex had just split up.
'It completely wiped out my savings as I had poured everything else into BLY.
'They took every penny from me, and it put me back in every aspect, in my personal life and my business.'

Shoppers run to Tesco for £19.50 ‘chuck on' summer dress that is ‘gorgeous on' and comes in three colours

IF you're searching for the perfect summer dress that you can just chuck on and feel instantly stylish, you'll want to leg it to Tesco. The supermarket's in-house fashion label, F&F, is renowned for its stylish buys at affordable prices. 4 4 4 4 And fashion fans have insisted the new strapless midi dress is a must-have for the warmer summer months. And the best part? You'll get change from a £20 note. The £19.50 frock boasts a ribbed, fitted bandeau top and flowy skirt with pockets. It can easily be dressed down with flip flops or Birkenstock sandals, or paired with heels for a fancier look. The supermarket find ranges from a size 6 to 22 and comes in three colours - khaki, black and stone. But it's not available on the website so you'll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on it. According to Tesco workers at one local store, the F&F buy is "gorgeous" addition to any wardrobe. In a short TikTok clip, they said: "Gorgeous new cream colour added to our strapless dress range. Mixed material and pockets on skirt." And fashion fans have been left in a frenzy over the dress, which is great for avoiding tan lines. "I bought this today it's gorgeous on. My store has every colour", one gushed. A second wrote: "Just bought this because I just know it'll be impossible to get by the time I go away." A third chimed in: "This is so flattering on! I just need a tan now!!" A fourth said: "Ummmm hello TESCO you superstar - thanks for providing this dress, [it] is just sensational!" "£19.50 for that dress?? Noooo!! Stunning", insisted a fifth. But a sixth cried: "I can't find these anywhere! not even online! I neeeeeed." Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes. More supermarket bargains Eagle-eyed shoppers have fallen in love with Tu's Yellow Striped Tie Detail Midaxi Tea Dress, which is priced at £28. Describing it online, the Sainsbury's team say: "Perfect for summer occasions, our yellow tea dress has been designed with puff sleeves, an elasticated waist with shirred detailing, finished with a tie fastening at the neckline for a touch of elegance. "Cut to a flattering, midaxi length. Wear with suede sandals and golden accessories." The dress is already sold out online so you'll need to be quick to get your hands on it in store. If you're self-conscious about a mum tum or your upper arms, delighted fashion fans say this is definitely one for you. One said: "Absolutely beautiful dress... even prettier in person. It's a lovely light fabric to wear in summer and feels very flattering on my plus size body. "The pockets are an added bonus! Very pleased with this purchase." A second wrote: "Bought this because I was drawn to the colour for the summer. "Love the length of the skirt and the fit at the waist - really flattering!"

Matcha fans go wild for new strawberry flavour sold in Tesco – you just add milk

A brand new matcha drink has launched in Tesco stores meaning you can easily make your own matcha drinks at home for a lot cheaper than in coffee shops. The new product has divided opinion As summer is here many of us are swapping our regular warm drinks for something cooler and iced - and the trendy drink to order is a matcha. The green drink, packed with goodness, has gone viral and people are creating different flavours from blueberry, lavender, mango, to name a few. But often ordering from coffee shops can quickly result in an expensive habit, which many of us could do without in the cost of living crisis. Thankfully, fans have spotted a cheap way of enjoying matcha at home. It comes as Tesco have launched a strawberry matcha syrup in stores - and all you have to do is add milk, and ice if you like it cold. The supermarket product is described on Tesco's website as 'matcha tea concentrate, strawberry flavour, made with Japanese matcha powder'. It is priced at £3.75 and is said to offer 10 matcha servings. ‌ One content creator, Libby Fitzpatrick, shared a video online after trying the new treat and wrote, "Tesco new matcha", alongside a video of the product. One individual commented "woah", while another said: "I tried the vanilla coffee concentrate and it was good!" ‌ "I need this," added another fan. While someone else wrote: "Next time in Tesco," they tagged their friend, keen for a shopping trip to pick up the matcha concentrate. But others did not seem as convinced. "Check out the sugar, oooooft," commented one. "Omg this feels criminal," insisted another. While someone else blasted: "It looks terrible." Another social media user claimed it had "no real benefits compared to real fresh matcha". While another asked:"What's the actual matcha content in this?" The product contains water, sugar, matcha green tea powder (2.5%), and flavouring. For serving, Tesco added: "Shake the bottle before serving. Pour 50ml of matcha concentrate into a glass. "Add 150ml of cold water, cold milk or any milk alternative of your choice (oat drink would be the preference). You can adjust the quantity to your taste. Add ice, stir and enjoy." In other matcha news, we reviewed the viral Marks and Spencer Raspberry and White Chocolate Matcha Latte, served in the M&S café, to see if it is worth they hype. Plus, several prominent Japanese tea makers announced last year that they were struggling to produce enough matcha to satisfy global demand. In turn, they reduced the number of match powder they were exporting – leading to shelves lying unstocked.
