I rarely have a childfree morning to myself and on Wednesday, I was lucky enough to enjoy breakfast at the Merchant Belfast and view the latest fashion collection from Lidl.

Lidl kindly invited me along to preview  the highly anticipated Esmara spring/summer 2016 fashion collection, following the sell-out success of its debut collection last year.

Inspired by the Tropical Deco architecture of Miami and the contrasting bohemian blue hues of the Mediterranean, shoppers can expect 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. The first wave of products from the collection will go on sale on March 10^th, with the additional pieces scheduled to land in stores nationwide between April and July.

Having bought many of items of clothing for my children from Lidl, I was rather interested to see what was available for the ladies. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. I have a few hero pieces that I shall be putting in my trolley while grocery shopping  #guiltfreeshopping .The Tribal Print Harem pants, £5.99 are a steal and a must-have for me as well as the slider flat metallic sandals, £7.99. I’m guessing these two items of clothing will be well worn over spring/summer.

£13.99

For those heading on holiday to sunnier shores, Lidl has a stunning range of ‘See You in Miami’ swimwear. Sadly, I don’t think I will be needing the gorgeous Triangle bikini top and bottoms for my summer in Portballintrae. Price under £7.
