The Fashionista


Carlingford has many beautiful boutiques and design houses to feast your eye upon fabulous fashion and jewellery. On 4th December Carlingford, shops open their doors with discounts across their stock for one day only.

However, pop into shops like…
-Mc Ardles Boutique

-Jewellery by Mia Mullen
for great gift ideas for her.
