Dear Maria,

With the current state of today’s economy I’m reluctant to spend a lot on clothes and cosmetics, especially since I tend to go overboard. But I love to keep with the current trends. What advice do you have to stay looking hot but keep the plastic cool?

Budget Breaking Fashionista

Dear Budget,

It is entirely possible to look great and stay within a budget! Plus, even stars shop at places like the Gap. However, there are other things you can do. Here’s a short list:’

Purchase quality pieces that can be mixed and matched. You get multiple outfits with just a few things.

Don’t be afraid to go to stores like Target, Old Navy and Wal-Mart. Even if you can’t bring yourself to try their trendy fashions, you can save money on things like camis, pajamas and such. Not to mention hose and tights. I don’t know about you but I’m always snagging those. And no one knows they were cheap to begin with.

Dear Maria,

I can’t get enough of Shakira, not only is she gorgeous, warm and caring but she’s incredibly talented. When can we expect to hear from her again?

Salivating over Shakira

Dear Salivating,

Shakira will be performing at the inaugural celebration for President-elect Barak Obama. The concert, which also features Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Sheryl Crow, is free, if you can get there. She’s also expected to release another album this year. No news on when to expect it or even the title but we hear that Wyclef Jean and Pharrell Williams will also appear on it.
