Since the economic downturn began (say 2008), my beloved trips across the pond to the UK have been sadly curtailed. I miss my annual jaunts to London, Edinburgh, and Dublin more than I can say. The only thing that provides solace is the Internet, which now allows me to view London Fashion Week online from my front row seat in Los Angeles. That means you can also watch some of Britain's best designers' runway shows with a good Internet connection. To see the entire schedule of shows, simply go to www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/digitalschedule. Remember to use World Clock on the Internet to put the UK show times into your local time. The website will also feature videos made by members of the fashion community.
Click here to watch the Burberry Prorsum Autumn Winter 2011 from London Fashion Week Feb. 21st at 4 pm UK time, 11:00 am EST,. 8 am PST on The Recessionista Blog.

The Perfect Valentine's Gift: A Yummi Glass Heart
When selecting a good piece of jewelry, I always recommend that you look for a simple, classic piece of jewelry that will sparkle and become a focal point. The Yummi Glass Murano Glass Heart rimmed with 24k gold is just such a piece. These hearts are pricey at retailers and boutiques like Henri Bendel in New York and Fred Segal in Los Angeles. But, in honor of Valentine's Day, Yummi Glass designer Allison Overbeke is offering readers of The Recessionista a special deal. You can receive 20% off a Yummi Glass heart of any size or color when you use the code HEART at checkout. This offer is good until Feb. 14, 2011. You might want to tell someone to get you a heart for Valentine's Day.:) You'll notice that Yummi Glass is featured in the Victoria's Secret catalogue this month, along with the Valentine's lingerie (pictured above along side the heart pendants.)
