Everyone likes to save money and who doesn't enjoy being fashionable. So how do you have great hair, wear trendy clothes, and have a fabulous looking tan without spending a lot of money? Bargain shopping and fancy fashion tricks!

The hottest hair trends have been flat ironed hair and the pony tail. It's very easy to whip your hair up into a fashionable ponytail. But if you are looking to have super flat ironed hair how do you do it without paying a couple hundred dollars for a flat iron?

You can blow dry your hair and use a ceramic tool vented brush to make that hair straight. If your hair is still a bit frizzy then use some smoothing product like Chi silk infusion or Bed Head After Party conditioning product. When you can afford a good flat iron watch for them to go on sale you can buy a Chi flat iron for $75 if you watch the sales.

You want that fabulous tan but going to the tanner is out of the question and expensive. You could get a spray on tan but those are still costly. Your best bet, usually it's cold if you are thinking of going to the tanner so you won't be exposing your entire body anyhow. So just tan your face.

Wear turtlenecks or cover up as much as you can and just tan your face with a bronzer like Victoria Secrets Sun Dust Bronze Shimmer. At only $10 this little bottle will take you right from fall through to spring and into the summer.

You want a trendy purse, you don't have to buy those generic knock offs that fall apart. You can get the real deal at second hand stores. It's possible to purchase a lightly used $500 Coach bag for $30.

The same goes for designer clothes and trendy clothes. Just shop the second hand stores and you are sure to find some extraordinary deals. You may have to dig a bit to find what you are looking for but you can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars to wear trendy clothes that someone else got sick of wearing or didn't wear at all.

The best way to save money on fashion trends is to start your own fashion trend. Styles are constantly changing and evolving. Leg warmers are back in style from the eighties so dig through your closet ladies and find that Jane Fonda work out clothes because it's back!
