ELLE'S NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS 2009
Amy Lawrenson Web assistant, ELLEuk.com Web assistant, ELLEuk.com: As soon as payday comes round I frantically go out shopping and never buy anything I really need, like the basics, instead I go home with another clutch bag or a crazy evening dress. I’m still looking for a pair of jeans and boots, which I needed last January! So my aim is to plan key pieces to buy each month.
To grow my hair! Every time it gets below shoulder length I get it chopped off. I need long hair to perfect all the spring/summer 09 hair looks.
