Lidl AW15 Clothing Range Launches....

The team behind the Lidl clothing range came to Belfast last week to show off the new AW15 offering and it's clear that following the success of the SS15 range, the brand is going from strength to strength. There was a great range of on-trend items at amazing prices - so much so that I found myself in my local Lidl 2 days later nabbing some of it before it sells out. Here's the blurb...

With a focus on trends that are both wearable and affordable, savvy shoppers at Lidl can expect to see skinny trousers in black, rust and leopard print (£8.99), printed shift tops (£6.99) and parka jackets in khaki and red (£11.99) arriving onto the shelves of Lidl this September. Other highlights of the collection this autumn include romantic statement blouses featuring chic Victorian-style lace in black and burgundy (£4.99) and black biker boots (£14.99).
November will see the release of a kimono-style, Aztec print cardigan (£7.99), and sleek, faux suede waterfall jackets in black and khaki (£9.99), cosy jumper dresses in burgundy and cream (£7.99), leather look jeggings (£4.99) and ankle boots (£12.99). 
Lidl’s AW15 range also includes a selection of seventies inspired pieces, including ponchos priced at just £22.99 and available in a variety of colours.

I shared some of my favourite pieces on social media on the launch day:

The poncho/capes are undoubtedly the stars of the show and will be available to buy on the 10th December. But there are some lovely pieces that are currently in stores. On Thursday past, I picked up the leopard top, faux leather jacket and the plain black top (with leather look sleeves). All great pieces for the school run...both now while the weather is still in limbo and later when things cool down - I'm looking forward to wearing the jacket under my grey Next gilet.

I'll be honest and say that I'm not feeling the footwear or bags - I'm afraid when it comes to handbags and boots, they have to be real leather.  I guess we all have areas of our wardrobe that we chose to spend more on. But it's getting great clothing at prices like Lidl's that allows me to indulge my leather love elsewhere :)

So keep an eye out in your local Lidl each Thursday if there's anything that's caught your eye in the photos above. I've a comprehensive list of dates when each item will be available so drop me a line if there's a particular item you want to watch out for.
