We started this Eco Warrior lifestyle three years ago after coming back from Hollywood homeless and penniless, with one suitcase and our self published book called Looking for Harvey Weinstein. Having lost Millions almost overnight in the 2000 stock market crash being penniless was something we both had to face head on, not an easy task for two Women who had lived up the luxury lifestyle like veterans.

Suddenly we had no money to buy fabulous clothes, expensive lotions and potions or gourmet food. Our lifestyle on benefits, £50 per week, was about survival and finding new ways to rebuild our lives, not an easy task even for hard nosed business Women like us.

 

We began by looking in charity shops like Oxfam and Scope as a way to source cheap clothing and to our delight uncovered a big secret. If you dig deep and stay focused, these shops have many hidden treasures.

 

We found everything from Chanel to Christan Dior at Primark prices without the slave labor issues, at the same time help support amazing causes and it was not long before recycling became our passion for fashion.

 

Kitting out our bare home was a mission but with a little creative flare, some visits to the local skip and unwanted trash thrown away by others, our home suddenly transformed into a comfortable shabby chic Aladdin's cave.

 

Buying food to last for a week on a budget of £10 was tough, we lost weight always a positive and discovered through trial and error all the top tips on how to eat for less. It is amazing how many things you can do without money from Hair care, suntan, make up and even luxury holidays on a tight budget.

 

It was not long before our ability to pull of a budget lifestyle and still look like Millionaires was inspiring others to follow suit. Building a business on a budget was the next goal as we set out to get a platform on TV to share our insight with others and at the same time help save the planet

 

We started swapping parties for Women everywhere to come together and trade their unwanted designer cast offs with other Shopaholics, creating a new wardrobe without spending a dime.

Our passion has taken us all over the map from pitching the BBC four hundred times our passionate plea for a platform, to budget fashion presenters on The Trisha Goddard Show channel five.

 

We are styling people everyday from our Eco fashion studio in a converted textile factory in Countesthorpe Leicester using fantastic recycled fashion items fit for the sex and the City wardrobe. Our plans and work shedual changes every day as we find new ways to connect with the public to spreed the word about our new way to shop and top tips on how to survive the imminent credit crunch.

The Mountain is high to climb but the wind is behind us as we elevate our mission to inspire the World to change the way they look at things and when you do this, the things you look at change.

According to an Olay survey recently, 26 Million Women say they cannot afford to live up to looking beautiful, well we challenge them all to take a leaf from our book and get the luxury lifestyle for less.
