My Covetable Wish List from the Lidl SS'16 Esmara Collection!
Friday, May 06, 2016
As a fashion blogger I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to attend various press days and it’s always so much fun to check out all the new collections ahead of their launch into stores! However last year there was one press day in particular that really stood out from the rest……..the launch of Lidl’s debut fashion collection: Esmara!
Earlier this year Lidl Northern Ireland unveiled its highly anticipated Esmara spring/summer 2016 fashion collection at an exclusive press launch at The Merchant Hotel, following the sell-out success of its debut collection last year.
Regular readers will know that I’m a true labels queen at heart, however that doesn't mean that I'm not adverse to mixing my high end with high street and since it’s debut I have found myself adding more and more pieces from the Esmara range to my closet! Last Summer it was their faux leather knee patch leggings which caught my eye, I wore them continually last year and they still look fantastic to this day! Click HERE for my full review.
While in Autumn Winter it was their gorgeous merino wool capes which became my hero piecse, super soft to the touch, they were both cosy and luxurious and worked a dream when belted or draped over my stylish ensembles! This season however has been their strongest yet, and at their exclusive media launch of the new collection I found myself with quite the wishlist!
The launch party was the perfect opportunity for bloggers and media alike to check out the full collection over a super stylish breakfast, and I found myself loving their cute cami tops, lace shorts and gorgeous swimwear!
The collection is inspired by the Tropical Deco architecture of Miami and the contrasting bohemian blue hues of the Mediterranean, shoppers can expec an eclectic selection of key season staples and stunning swimwear, the majority of which will be available for a very purse-friendly £7.99 or under. While first wave of products from the collection went on sale from March 10th, it was the pieces which are to be launched in May/June which really caught my eye!
Which is why I wanted to take his opportunity to share with you my own personal “wish list” of the pieces I’m hoping to get from the Esmara collection! I hope you enjoy checking out my must haves and please do let me know if you get any of them too!
