Hi All,

I am absolutely delighted to be guest blogger for Opera Lane for the month of April. Opera Lane is my go to shopping street when it comes to shopping in Cork, as it has the best of what high street clothing has to offer& there is always a buzz on Opera Lane …what I like about it is the whole family can be decked out from that one lane!! Some of my favourite retail outlets are there like River Island, New Look, H&M , Only and not forgetting Next for my little son!! This lane makes shopping so easy and enjoyable…

 

For this post I’ve decided to pick three looks for under €50 …

 

Look 1   : Casual But Trendy!!

As a mom of a two year old who is always on the go  I find I’m looking for outfits that I can wear with flats , something comfortable but trendy.. I’m a huge lover of dungarees and as they are on trend this season I teamed them with a basic stripe top and fabric flats ….

Look 2 : Friday Night Drinks

 

For this look I went for skinny jeans, loose top and heels. Every wardrobe should have a pair of jeans of some colour , so handy to dress up or down… these ones for €14.99 from New Look are a steal!!!
