Brighter days await
I read somewhere (actually I know where I read it but a good friend says it is an embarassing magazine…) that acting happy will soon make you feel genuinely happy. This theory is quite pleasing as it simply puts back the truth in “fake it til’ you make it”. Other useful tools could be looking at the spring collections for 2009. Its all jazzy type of modern haute couture with lots of colours mixed matched and packed with patterns. The 80’s are back (once again), surpassing the predicted grunge period. This mainly to do with the financial funk the world is finding itself in. Designers are refusing to create dull and boring clothes and we should thank them for it. Remains to be seen how the collections do but one thing that is definitely going up, as always when economic times are dire is the lipstick index. Little luxury treats like mascara and lipgloss are economic indicators in times when people (women) can justify these purchases but not a new coat or a new pair of shoes. On this note I would say invest in Bobbi Brown’s bronzing powder, Estee Lauder face wash, Chanel nail varnish in grey and of course a lipstick, something beige/pink from Mac.
