these two are totally amazing and always have great ideas on how to save that money; you can't go wrong saving in this type of economy!



for the fashionista: meet keiko lynn.

seriously, if i had any sort of fashion sense, i'd be thrilled. i am a daily reader of keiko's blog and i honestly think she's a real life version of lindsay price's character in the lipstick jungle (by the way, whomever is responsible for canceling that show sucks!) she's amazingly talented with her makeup and can make any outfit look smashing, that's right, SMASHING! 



for the seamstress: meet kelly.

i actually just stumbled upon kelly's awesome blog through kathleen at grosgrain who you also MUST know if you are  into sewing. seriously, this red top is so darn cute i wish i was fashionista enough to wear it myself. i think i'll just have to make one for someone's kid to wear though. anywho, kelly has an awesome story to go with her blog, so head on over and "meet" her for yourself.


for the builder: meet ana.

so, first of all i have to say, if you don't want to gain any weight, then DO NOT go to this blog. phew. crisis averted.

all you skinnies gone?! good. here goes. rachel has THE most delicious looking caramel brownies on her blog right now. they look so good i had to close my mouth so as not to drool on my keyboard. seriously.drool.worthy. i think i'm going to have to make some. soon. really, though, her blog has awesome recipes that i'm sure you'll put in your recipe stash. head over and check them out!
