Support Local: Ballistic

If there's one place in downtown St. John's that I love and has awesome women's clothes, it's gotta be Ballistic!
I feel a lot of people think it's just for skater chicks, but it so is not!
They carry lots of brands that are so much more than just the skater girl lifestyle and even the skate brands they carry have so many amazing fashionable pieces in their collections. One of the things I really enjoy about Ballistic is that they don't carry many size runs of each item, which makes it that much more unique and cool! 


PLUSSSS, this weekend they're taking part in the Downtown Tax Free Event. You should totally head down and check it out this Saturday, November 12th and get yourself some cute new outfits for the fall or even pick up some clothes for Christmas to put under the tree!
Even if it's a To: Me, Love: Me kinda thing! Or if it makes you feel better throw Santa's name on it!

Lumberjack Chic
I am in absolute LOVE with everything about this look.
It's fall and every girl loves to have a good flannel to keep warm and layer with this season.
This is actually a Men's Brixton Flannel in an XS!
I love the borrowed from the boys look that this flannel gives where it is oversized and longer than most women's flannels. 
Plus the fabric is freaking amazing!

And I hope you heard that the 90's are 100% back and acid wash is back in full force!
These High Spray jeans by Cheap Monday are fantastic and the fit is perfect for curvier legged girls like myself!
I always find it hard to get jeans that fit well in the waist and in the legs, and honestly every pair of Cheap Monday jeans I've ever owned or tried on fit amazingly.
They have the stretch that you need to curve to your body and they also have lots of high waisted styles, which is my favorite style of denim.
High waisted denim focuses on the small of your natural waist line and helps create a slimmer look, and Ballistic has a great selection of high waisted Cheap Monday Denim. 
There's not many places in St. John's you can get a great pair of jeans, but Cheap Monday are the ones! These jeans also come in a mid rise if you're more of a mid rise jean kinda gal!


Also this Sherpa Collared Moto Jacket from Obey is actually perfect.
I love a good moto jacket and a fun way to make a moto jacket more fall inspired is to add a little sherpa on the collar! I'm about amping up a basic and making it just that much more edgy.
But if you're not about the sherpa lining the collar is detachable as well, so you can take it from Fall/Winter to Spring/Summer very easily!

Cozy Coffee House Style
This Obey sweater is actually to die for!!
I love the subtle graduated flare sleeve and the funnel neck to add just a little bit extra to a simple sweater. Plus, it is literally the softest sweater I've put on my body. There are actually a bunch of cute knitted sweaters by Obey down at Ballistic right now that are ridiculously beautiful! I wanted all of them! 

This sweater goes pretty cute with a cup of coffee too, dontcha think??

...I also mayyyy be wearing another pair of Cheap Monday Jeans... 
These ones are the Second Skins and are equally as amazing as the High Spray Denim! Just go get yourself into a pair of Cheap Monday's. They'll change your life!

The Jogger Life
A girl loves to dress up, but we all have those days we just want to lay in our joggers and hoodie and not put a lot of effort in. BUT that doesn't mean you have to look like a slob! Fashion joggers are 100% a thing and you should get on board! Pair them with a graphic crew neck instead of a hoodie and you take your slobbish look to an elevated fashion forward feel without losing the comfort aspect of it. Then if you're heading out throw on a cool quilted coat to add some extra texture and warmth!
PS. This Vans coat is actually so freaking warm for a fall jacket and is definitely a piece you could bring into the winter for those less snowy, messy days and still be warm while you're out and about!

The Sophisticated Skater Boy
Thomas looked quite yummy in this knitted hoodie by Ekumenik, I must say. Most men love to be in hoodies 90% of the time, but the knitted hoodie just looks so much more sophisticated and put together. 
This is a hoodie I can get on board with and is a great piece to give your man for Christmas... just sayin!

You should definitely get your butt down to Ballistic and check out their Fall/Winter Collection! 
Don't forget, this Saturday, November 12th, they'll be tax free all day, so what better day to check out the shop and save a few $$!

  1. I can't believe they're closing. It's so sad that the downtown area has become so unsustainable for small local businesses. Love the outfits you've put together!
