Credit crunch oh credit crunch when will you end? Seems to be the focus of every paper, magazine and person you know. However, some have put a positive twist on the seemingly infinite despondency. Such as the editor of UK Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, who recently said “despite the gloomy economic scenario, there’s a real energy and spirit coming through”.

Yet, there is still the over-looming question, how can we afford the high fashion trends in the current climate?

Well, you could follow another piece of Alexandra’s advice and “make-do-and-mend”. Cath Kidston Make book could help facilitate this festive creativity. Or else, if you are not so much the domestic type, koodos is selling some of the lovely brands in this month’s Vogue at great discounted prices.

For instance this Dior bag or Almost Famous coats, which are also mentioned.

Plus, another koodos brand has been getting a lot of media attention. This month, Monica Vinader jewellery has been recommended by InStyle, Elle and Grazia magazine - and it’s been worn by Cheryl Cole on The X Factor.
