Recessionista Paradise

Okay, so maybe checking receipts and balances is a bit of a drag but isn't it wonderful to rediscover ones nose for a bargain. New dinner party ettiquette is to out-bargain each other but you can't say that you don't enjoy buying a dress at ten pounds and having change to fund the night out.
My high street gems of this season are stores that churn out wonderful, on-trend garments which are budget compatible. One of the victories of the British high street is the VARIETY

Let me break it down...

H&M
Mood? Young, high-energy and eclectic.

What can I find?
Wearable fashion-led pieces which come in this seasons statement colours; pastels, 80s brights. They are also champion of the zebra and leopard print garment which they use on anything from scarves, leggings, skirts, to dresses, bodices and cute printed tees. Also, harem trousers and some very wearable all in ones which scream Halston on a budget.

The champions of H&M this season are Matthew Williamsons designs, denim waistcoats and it's cheap and uplifting resort wear.

Do pick up one of the H&M 'Fashion against AIDS' campaign tees fronted by the likes of Rhianna, Estelle, Katy Perry, Roisin Murphy, Santogold and Dita Von Teese to name a few.
