Great gifts for Recessionistas 2009!

My dear fashionistas, we have all felt the effects of the economy and some of us had to re-evaluate our fashionistic spending. But have no fear Fashion Newz is here to turn Fashionistas to RECESSIONISTAS! What is that you say? Well in my definition, a Recessionista is a fashionable chic who improvises due to the economic times to not only look great for less but save and pocket the change to the bank! So I've put together a short list of trendy nifty gifts you can get for your girlfriends from the heart <3.

1. DKNY Delicious!!!!!- mmm...in various fruity flavors for only $38.00 each to flavor-up the cold winter months.

2. NARS multiples- great gift for 'multiple' uses and any fashionista would love this because it can be used on the eyes, cheeks, lips and body. Various colours for a great price of $37.00.

3. SMASHBOX brush set- this is also something true fashionistas NEVER go without...a set of makeup brushes for precise application. A 5 piece set can be between $40-$45 but if that's too much, try alternate pharmacy stores like Walgreens, CVS or Target for brush sets that are cheaper but yet effective.

4. VICTORIA'S SECRET Holiday edition & lip gloss. Girlssss...VS has limited Crystal Wonderland Body Mists in fun berry smells that makes your skin smell so yummy, your other half would want to eat you....literally. Price tag- 3 for $25.

Also VS has the bestest lip gloss...Beauty Rush lip gloss which is so smooth to apply and last so long...but the taste is so amazing that you might just lick it all off..or someone else will...hahaha. You can get these lip treats for 2 for $15 for 5 for $20.

Candy coloured, animal prints n more...

Girls, my dear fashion magazine, Cosmo, has foretold that a little bit of colour for the winter months actually spruces things up. So dress up dark clothing ideas with candy-coloured flats, jeans, bags, dresses or shades. Or add colour to your face with sugary shades of pink, teal, yellow and amethyst or purple. Incase you are unclear, candy coloured means bright but not Neon-bright.
How wild are you? Now wear your animal print in not only various colours but either during the day or night...who would have thought that zebra prints would have sparked a wildfire in Hollywood but it sure has so snag a couple pieces to mix and make such as a dress, jeans, shoe, scarf or belt. However, IT IS ADVISED NOT TO DRESS IN ANIMAL PRINT HEAD 2 TOE..No one called for a safari show on display!
You not only have to brigthen up the cold days with candy but sparkle the night with skirts, clutches, tops in shiny prints either in sequence or glittered material. Dress it up with thigh-high boots, tights with booties, pumps or wedges. Who said tinselette wasn't fun! Be bold fashionistas and try a couple. Check out these websites for ideas:
