MINT.SKINT.PAYDAY

For my first 'Mint, Skint, Payday' post I went for the shearling jacket. I saw the Acne one on Pinterest first, cried a bit over it, and then made it my business to track down some cheaper alternatives.

 I haven't blogged properly in a long time, moving to another country and having all the distractions/stress of trying to settle in I completely lost my shopping mojo. I honestly did not give two shits about fashion, the shops here are alright but there is no real 'high street' like in the UK, and since I don't have a lot of money I really missed my Primark (yeah i'll admit it, no shame here)

HOWEVER, I then remembered where I was from... England, West Yorkshire, and what are Yorkshire people good at? yep.. being cheap as fuck! So whilst I may not be raking in the cash right now, my fashion boner is back and I'm getting back in the stores and online and I will be sure to share my new bargains. 

Oh, and the jackets you can find here..

#1. ACNE $twograndorsomethingridic

#2. Forever21 $63.80

#3. Zara $269

If anyone has any requests for a particular item on a  'Mint.Skint.Payday' post please let me know, 'cause I have a bit of a talent for finding stuff if it exists even in the deepest darkest corners of the internet.

HELLO OCTOBER

coat:zara//jeans:h&m//trainers:nike roshe

Just a quick one, finally winter is setting in and I get to wear my favorite mannish coat from Zara. This jacket is awesome for smartening up an everyday casual look, great if you usually dress like a bit of a scruff like me. All the usual high-street big hitters are stocking manly coats this fall, H&M is my personal favorite especially for those of us on a bit of a winter wardrobe budget.

OVER TO THE DARK SIDE

TEE//JACKET//DENIM//NIKES//CHAIN//RINGS//PHONE//SHADES//WALLET

I hate summer fashion. When it's too hot I dress for comfort, so after 3 months of denim shorts, tanks and sneakers (which I never thought I would get sick of) I am actually buzzing that the weather is starting to turn nasty and this is the kind of transitional outfit I will be looking forward to wearing.

The Details

 This was one of the shoots in the Swedish magazine Styleby #19, styled by Columbine Smille. If you don't know this magazine is was created by Elin Kling. I want every outfit and the model is absolutely stunning.

Here's a little inspiration before the weekend, the styling in this video blows my mind, filmed in Langa Cape town, South Africa. Styled by Ty Hunter. Perfection!

BALL BUSTERS

So, just discovered that Zara online does ship within Canada. And I'm losing my shit over these heels ($83)

PAWS UP

Got this nail polish from the new Revlon neon collection, it comes with a white polish on one end of the bottle so you pop that on first then its suppose to make the colour on top really stand out... I didn't bother with the white, too impatient, but I like how the orange came out after two coats.
