Why I need an allowance
I need an allowance. Almost every kid I know has an allowance. I need an allowance for main three reasons.
First, I need an allowance so I can save a lot of money. With money, I can buy myself toys that appeal to me.. Next, I can decide how much money I get each week through my behavior. If I choose to be good, my money increases and if I choose to be bad, my money decreases. Last, I learn to be more careful about how I spend my money. If I choose how to spend my money I will become more careful and look at reviews to see if things are any good and if there are no reviews, I will ask someone who has bought it to see if it is any good.
In conclusion, I need an allowance and every body else who wants one should get one to. I should get an allowance because I will learn how to make wise choices

Ink is the New Black!?
We’ve all heard the expresssion “Chanel is in my blood” but were we ready for it to be on our skin? The newest innovation from the house of Chanel is temporary tattoos as seen in their catwalk shows as well as stars such as Lily Allen and Daisy Lowe.
Sarah Jessica Parker even teamed some with her gorgeous Oscars outfit!
I think they are an interesting concept and are definitely set to be the must have "accessory" for Summer 2010.
If you want to follow the tattoo trend this summer but can’t wait for the Chanelwaiting list to go down or you can’t afford the £49 price tag then I have the answer!
Inkwear provides fashionable temporary tattoo jewellery in a vibrant range of colours,
designs and sizes. Their tattoos are designed to give the us choice and fun when
customising our look!
You can colour match the different designs and link different tattoos
creatively to give your tat a unique edge while being right on-trend.

original tattoo collections. The transfers range in price from as little as £2 to £3 for individual tattoos and from £6.99 for sets.

There is a massive choice of over 500 designs available from www.inkwear.co.uk and all products are non-toxic, skin safe and FDA approved (phew).
Enjoy!!

The Internet + Outlet x Designer Labels - £1 =?
No you're not back in maths class (thank God!). In fact, there's not really any maths involved in this, apart from adding up how MUCH money you will save and how GOOD you will look!
And it'll all be thanks to the Net-A-Porter online designer outlet, www.theoutnet.com.
Already into it's first year, The Out Net is basically hand-me-down stock from a season or-or-two ago from Net-A-Porter. And as SO many designers have been creating an emphasis on "Investment Pieces" the past few years then I have no complaints about this what so ever.
Each month the site hosts time-limited pop-up sales (themed designer sales that will be available for a limited time), giveaways and "going, going, gone" sales (for any fashionista to snap up a designer label at an irresistible price - watch the price drop as the clock ticks but hurry or you may lose it), that will definately give us a "GOTTA HAVE IT NOWWWWW..." kind of buzz.
Next month is the most interesting in my mind however. When you visit the site (coz I know you will) click on this image...
... and register your details by 11th April to get yourself an invitation to the sale of a LIFETIME.
On April 16th everything in this sale is £1!
£1!!!!!
And with that I don't think I need to say any more :)
Enjoy.
Love Claire x
Just because I love a good sale...
And this is a good one! ASOS have just gone into sale with many things with more than 50% off.
This jacket is one of my favourite things from the sale and is perfect as a spring jacket while it's still a bit nippy!
And from £55 down to £26, I can't resist!!
Also, ASOS offer free delivery when you spend over £75!
That's £75's worth of bargains if you ask me!!
Click this link to go straight to the sale, no stopping...
Happy bargain hunting,
Love Claire x

Have New Look Gone Dotty?!
Hi hons,
So I was in New Look the other day and firstly I saw these gorgeous spotty trousers. The reason they caught my eye, apart from being GORGEOUS, is the fact that they are dead-ringers for these Luella ones as seen in the Spring/Summer 2010 show (except mine were only £30).
They would look great in summer with a boob tube and wedges or on holiday with flip flops and a bikini top...
Well I had to buy then instantly of course!
But when i was at the counter waiting to pay I was flicking through New Look's 'Most Wanted' magazine- it's free- and there was a 20% off voucher on the back page.
If you are a sucker for a catwalk copy AND/OR a discount I suggest you run to your nearest New Look and grab yourself a copy of the magazine (it's got Taylor Momsen on the front).
The voucher is valid all this week until Sunday 11th April.
Although it isn't valid on Giles, Limited Edition and IDOL collections or on permanently reduced items there is still plenty of fabulous stuff to choose from in New Look.
Enjoy!
Love Claire. X
