Star Buy of the Week: H & M Faux Fur Jacket

Swedish high-street store, H & M is rapidly conquering the world in the fashion stakes- with new stores opening as frequently as Penney's (Primark- to all the non-Irish readers!) gets in new stock. Recently opened  H & M stores, include its first Lithuanian store in the capital, Vilnius, and two new debut stores in Estonian capital, Tallinn and Indonesian capital, Jakarta. This stylish, always on trend and super affordable store is forever churning out style gems that could be from designer boutiques or upmarket department stores- and has been a good friend and ally to not just cash- poor students, but to anyone striving to look stylish on a budget- which let's be honest, is the vast majority of the population at the moment. On the other hand, who doesn't like a good bargain?

H & M Faux Fur Jacket, e29.95

I snapped up this weeks star buy- a statement, soft-to- the- touch faux fur jacket, in H & M's Dundrum Town Centre store in Dublin. The tactile texture of this gorgeous natural brown jacket caught my eye straight away- and as soon as I saw the incredible price tag of e29.95, I was powerless to resist! Five minutes later, I was out the door swinging a giant green H & M shopping bag- and feeling very smug about the fabulous bargain I'd just snagged.

Furs, leathers, distressed denim and delicious pick 'n mix textures exuding personality, are key pieces worth investing in this season for a quick, hassle free way to add interest, style- and warmth to your wardrobe this season. This weeks Star Buy ticks all the boxes for me- retro chic style straight from the 70s (minus the smell of time and moth-balls!) for a cool, wallet friendly e29.95.
