Plain & simple, City Chic by Nina Wildorf, is an insider's guide on how to squeeze the most style out of a small salary! I read this book this past weekend & recommend it! Get your copy here. ($14.99).
I bet I could apply these tips is overly expensive Tokyo-- it took US years to save up for a condo and home.... and the condo is still SMALL by normal standards but double in price..
ReplyDeleteI think women who budget ... including myself are wise, you don't have to compromise so much but beating creative and looking around .... we saved a lot
Sounds great, thanks for the post :-)
ReplyDeletelooks good! i'll have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteVery good idea.
ReplyDeleteI bought this book possibly 6 years (?) ago... and looks like it's gotten a face-lift. It was a huge lifesaver for me when I was younger as I contemplated leaving the nest for the first time. Still to this day, I go back to it for tips and tricks. It's looking pretty dog-eared.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I must add that for something similar I highly recommend The Modern Girl's Guide to Life by Jane Buckingham. Less financially based, it's a guide to making it in the big, bad world!
Ahh, I NEED something like this! Thanks for sharing Jen!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The cover is very cool, looks like something you would design very Sex Pistols-ish
Hmmmm, i can really use that book...
ReplyDelete20 SOMETHING SUPERHERO:
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, this book was out a few years back and it is now totally re-vamped and much more informative for these difficult times. : )
You're welcome MISS B ! : )
ReplyDeleteGIRL JAPAN:
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is pretty impressive either way..because I know Japan can be quite $$$..just like NYC where I used to live. AND i agree...looking around has many advantages...you will always find a better deal if you take the time.
Nice resource, thanks. It's become a challenge (and actually a bit of fun) to shop within our budget. Not living on a budget is just not an option if anyone--single, married, female or male--wants to enjoy life now and especially down the road.
ReplyDeleteTHanks for talking about this book, I've been thinking about checking it out for a while now!
ReplyDeleteHey I have this book!
ReplyDeleteTwo great minds think alike jennifer :-)
Love your blog BTW
I was looking at this book previously on Amazon but wasn't sure the topics it actually contained. Thanks for the book review Jen!
ReplyDeleteGirl Japan - I was addicted to 100 yen shops when I lived in Japan. LOL. I loved Daiso.
Cheers,
