Recession brings in a new look

Shopping is to women what drinking is to men.....they shop when happy or sad :-)

I know reading long articles can get boring on the blog...so I am just leaving a teaser with the link

Despite the recession, women who read glossy magazines are still buying designer fashion, but they want it to look like crumpled cast-offs
Shopping by numbers
• 72% of glossy magazine readers are still buying designer fashion, the survey found, while 59% are buying more or the same amount of clothes as pre-recession.
• 60% are buying more or the same amount of designer shoes, and 52% are doing the same with bags.
• 53% of women say it's important to stay fashionable despite the recession;
• 64% are visiting hair salons and 56% are visiting beauty salons at least as often as they were before the downturn.
• 58% are eating out at least as often as they were pre-recession.
