Credit Crunch

Oh I may only be teenager with no job but a monthly allowance but that only goes so far.Although the credit crunch doesnt really affect me but with the news reporting of the economy down the crapper and my account looking a little low, I think its time to think about what im spending.

How I intend to stay above the credit crunch…

- Magazines, oh how I love you dearly, I look forward to purchasing an arm full of magazines each month but it is time to say goodbye to most of you. I’m only going to buying one magazine a month, Cosmo girl. It filled with everything that teen vogue has and more with actual affordable items.
- EBay, I’m going to be auctioning some items this week with a bit of luck! I need a bit of cash for winter clothes! There are so many items on Urban Outfitters which are calling my name. Also with a bit of luck, if people keep clicking my ads I’ll have $100 bucks coming my way.

- Giving up those yummy Lattes from Starbucks which cost £3.50 which is around $7. As much as love my frequent Starbucks hits, I simply must cut back! Also it’s less calories, not so great for the diet with around 300 calories in each frappucino its no wonder I have been pilling on the lb’s! Question why is the frappuccino more photogenic than the latte?!

- Instead of those impulse buys or those cute pair of juicy sweats, I need to star buying things which go with most things, last long and can be dressed up or down.

So i hope you like my little ways to help, what are you doing about the credit crunch?

Inspire me

It is not magazines that inspire me to love fashion but it is the modern day and classic fashionistas that inspire me whilist choosing what to wear, or what make up to put on. Some days i feel like channeling audrey hepburn's make up in breakfast at tiffanys and other days i like to channel mischa barton from the oc or even occasionally ashley olsen.

These three people have a special place in my heart, for 3 reasons each.

Audrey- what more do i have to say, the classical beauty, and the represention of my favourite fashion era,the late 50's early 60's.

Mischa- After falling in love with the oc about a year ago, her character and her real life fashion are a real source of inspiration, slightly boho but glamorous and slightly preppy.

Ashley Olsen- i was madly obsessed with the olsen twins when i was younger who were truly my first real fashion inspiration. I'd watch each film or tv series that would come out, and strive to dress like them. My favourite was always ashley and even more so as she grew up. I have to say her recent looks are not my favourite but more so than her sisters hobo chic look.

These are some of my favourite pics for inspiration...

One day, during the holidays, i shall make an "inspire me" book, filled of pictures.
