Budget fashion advice from Lindsay Lohan
Queen of legging- chic Lindsay Lohan has revealed her favourite outfit is, no surprise, a cheap pair of leggings.
In her role as the celebrity face of this year's Visa Swap she says in an interview with The Times that her fail safe outfit when she doesn't know what else to wear is 'black leggings, black tank top and black leather jacket. It's safe and cheap.'
Good news for celeb fashion fans on a budget who we're worried they couldn't wear leggings anymore. Just swap the ballet pumps for some spikey gladiator heels and team with a leather jacket a la Lindsay (who recently launched her own line of leggings) and you'll still get plenty of mileage out of last season's leggings.
In fact Lindsay says her fashion inspiration comes from the woman who first championed leggings in the noughties (and still wears them nearly as much as LiLo) - Kate Moss, 'because she's so eclectic' - and Kate's not afraid to sport a bargain either.
We think both Kate and Lyndsey are onto something, and getting in first on the next big trend - credit crunch shopping. Visa Swap launches on 19th July offering you the chance to exchange your unwanted clothes for somebody else's much loved, but now unwanted fashion gems. Whilst tonight Topshop on Oxford Street will host their first ever Topswop - the chance for shoppers to swap three pieces of clothing for new fashion finds.

Yes you read that correctly, designer Dame Vivienne Westwood is releasing an album next week.
She won't be singing though. The record, entitled 'Catwalk Breakdown' is a compilation of her favourite catwalk tracks over the years - and everything from The New York Dolls to Tchaikovsky will feature. “[They are ] pieces that I’ve relied on over all these years — my classics. They’ve never failed me.” She told WWD.
The album lands in Selfridges on September 15th - during London Fashion Week- and the Oxford Street store's Wonderroom will be dedicated to Westwood to mark the occassion.
