Customers will also enjoy a mini fashion show as Emma Connolly from the Evening Echo, who is Cork's leading fashion writer and style consultant will show a range of looks from casual day time looks to dressing up for a special night out. Emma will also be on hand to help ladies mix "something old with something new", giving customers plenty of ideas on how to become a style icon.

Caroline Hickey from Adorè Beauty Salon, will showcase this season's make-up looks with an in store demonstration using  American brand Bare Escentuals make up.

Guests will enjoy delicious canapés from Brook Catering one of Ireland's leading outside and on-site catering companies. Meades Wine Bar, next door to Lisboa will provide a selection of wines for this special "girl's night out". There will also be a raffle on the night with great prizes including a break at the five star Hayfield Manor with all proceeds generated going to the Cork Sri Lankan Orphanage Project. To top it all off, customers will also enjoy a 10% discount in Lisboa on the night.

Marie Harty, owner of Lisboa says "We are holding this event to launch Style Exchange, a store for a new breed of savvy shoppers, girls who are looking for something original and timeless, designer pieces at a fraction of the cost of their original prices."

"We are amazed by the quality and originality of the clothes and accessories people are bringing into the Style Exchange, with everything from this season's Chloe Sunglasses to a Paul Smith Tweed Jacket. We are asking everyone to come along on the 20th October, de-clutter, make some extra cash and at the same time fundraise for a very worthy cause that is in the hearts of many Cork people, the Cork Sri Lankan Orphanage."
