Cork fashion week Opera Lane autumn/winter 15 preview

Hey guys so last week i was lucky enough to be on the guest list for the invite only Opera Lane autumn/winter 15 fashion preview. This fab event took place at the very trendy Perry St. Cafe which was transformed on the night. The event itself was fantastic..food and prosecco and fab DJ really set the mood. As the models took to the runway we were not disappointed.

 Showcasing the latest trends i have to say there was a lot that caught my eye,from the luxurious faux furs to snuggly knits and sparkly numbers perfect for the festive season. There is a huge array of shops in opera lane,from Topshop, to Only to H&M and Tommy Hilfiger and lots of others. Hell theres even a Starbucks there now which is the perfect spot to take a break and refuel before continuing your shopping trip.
Take a look for yourselves. .....

 It was a very stylish and exciting event and a great opportunity to meet up with my fellow cloggers  (cork bloggers)

So if you are stuck in a rut and fancy a change or have no idea what you suits you check out the Opera Lane website and make your free appointment. I know I will be.Claire xxx

Winter proof your skin with Ziaja

Winter is swiftly approaching, along with all those annoying skin issues that come with it – dry patches, flaky skin, dullness, broken capillaries, chapped hands and lips.  The combination of cold weather, indoor heating and seasonal irritants can cause skin to loose moisture, tonicity and elasticity.  

 

Ensure your skin is prepared for the colder season with ziaja’s moisture-infused and revitalising argan oil range.  Argan oil, has been used for centuries to transform the skin, thanks to its high content of omega fatty acids and antioxidants.  Extracted from the kernels found in the fruit of Moroccan argan trees, argan oil has high levels of vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.  In simple terms, it improves the skin's barrier function, protects against ageing free radicals and improves elasticity in one hit. 

 

All ziaja argan oil products are easily absorbed to leave skin feeling hydrated and nourished, and are boosted with Vitamin A and provitamin B5 (D-panthenol) to ensure skin is 100% winter proofed.
