Fat Face recently celebrated the opening of their fifth store in Ireland in the Dundrum Town Centre. I have to be honest, as a store I find it can be a bit hit and miss but their latest collection for Winter has surprised me and features some really nice active lifestyle clothing for men and women.

Yes, you guessed it, it’s got to be Penneys. The McDonalds of fashion – fast, affordable and only satisfying for short periods. But if you get two or three wears out of this outfit this season it will be money well spent and afterwards you can mix and match all these pieces with what you’ve already got in your wardrobe.
The great thing about Penneys is it’s disposable fashion. You can buy into trends without spending big bucks and worrying about whether or not a particular look will be in style in a couple of months.

I really dislike the ‘R’ word, generally excluding it from my vocab but these days very few of us are really in a position to splash our hard-earned cash on the season’s latest trends without having to think twice before spending. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look great. Here are a few tips on how to achieve fabulous style on a tight budget.

Highstreet stores such as A/wear, Pennys, Dunnes, Topshop, TK Maxx and H&M should be your best friends! They all stock a great selection of the latest trends and basic stables at affordable prices.
2. Make quality over quantity a priority
If you find yourself splurging on something, make sure it is a timeless investment piece that you’ll get wear out of season after season. Items such as the essential little black dress – refer to my ‘Top Tips’ for a full list of wardrobe essentials.
