This past weekend I felt that I had struck every sale that I
could—if only I weren’t too meticulous in selecting patterns or styles, then it would
have been even better. You may have seen a few items that I scored during my
shopping venture here, but I have heaps of other pieces that I bought and cannot wait to wear.
Even before my shopping excursion, I had been in search of another
moto-jacket, preferably in hunter green or cobalt with leather panels. Although, I
didn’t find a hunter green version, I did stumble upon this army green and faux leather jacket
at Marshalls. This was actually the only big-ticket
item (BTI) that I bought for the entire trip, (I like to have at least one BTI when shopping), considering being budget-friendly. Every BTI that I own is a piece that be carried into multiple seasons. It’s always versatile, and for me, these pieces are generally outerwear or footwear.
Each item that I purchased was on sale, and my favourite piece other than the jacket was this Cynthia Rowley Tee for a tenner. Only two items that I bought on the entire shopping venture was just under thirty dollars. I had to double check the
quality of the jacket since I am a savvy jacket collector, as it must meet my fashion inspection, as well as my arm
length standards. Well, it did!
I also managed to score big at H&M in their organic
cotton section as well as a few more autumn pieces, including jewellery, a
snood, and a great spring printed dress that I am transforming for the season. All from three to seven dollars. I will share more details about those later, so do check out the updates via Instagram and Twitter.
Finally, after messing about with the Lumia, I made it custom
to my lifestyle, because setting up your favourite fashion layout and other applications takes time, not to mention the music section on any mobile device is a whole other entity.
I found
a couple of great apps that I am enjoying at the moment; one is called Smart Budget. This helps you to keep
track of how much you are spending, whether it’s at a grocer or local department store—a simple and safe way of budgeting
without having to be logged into your bank account. You can even graph out how
much you’ve saved and spent daily and monthly.
Have you tried any new shopping apps? What are your favourites?
The goods:
Nokia Lumia 635-c/o Nokia. Faux leather moto-jacket, Marbled Tee-Cynthia Rowley, and Moto-pants-Marshalls, Lace-up boots-Target. *This post is sponsored by Microsoft, all

Hi Madison! Oh I love and hate the sale at the same time. I always buy things that I don't need (und auch noch zuviel davon). You look amazing. I love your new moto jacket and the cool pants. I think I need this app. Maybe it will stop me from buying more. Hab einen wunderschönen Tag!!

Looks like you got some great ensemble from the look of this jacket. It's really GOOD! Love the two-tone detail with the leather and military pair. I need to dig out my boots, cos you're enticing me with yours. Lol! Du siehst sehr toll aus Schwester. 🙂
Alles Liebe!

Eine Shopping App habe ich noch nie benutzt, hört sich aber interessant an. An deiner Jacke wirst du noch lange deine Freude habe, ein schönes zeitloses Teil.

Everyone looks good in a jacket like this, and you are no exception. Wanna hop on the back of my bike?!
Another great outfit Madison. Loving the moto jacket, the colour and leather panels look awesome. I'm also loving your boots and how they look against the army green colour of your jeans. The app sounds cool, thanks for the tip 🙂
Take care,
Daniella xx
How cool is your biker jacket?? I like it a lot!

Your autumn wardrobe must be coming together quite nicely with your shopping ventures. That's a great jacket and the whole outfit looks fantastic.
Yes I have made satay style tofu before. It's really tasty like that. I also enjoy having it baked.

You caught some really good sales Madison. They've been so plentiful. I love your jacket! It's so cool! Thanks for the shopping app suggestion. I haven't tried an app for that! It sounds like it's really helpful. I need a beauty budget app! LOL

That jacket looks great on you and so do the boots.
I'm probably the only person in the world without a smartphone so I'm afraid the second part of your post went over my head!
It's one moto-inspired look worth replicating this weekend – thanks for the inspo Madison!!!
