This month ELLE brings you an issue on smart spending. Let’s throw out words like financial planning, saving and even the newly-coined, rather unattractive term, ‘recessionista’. Take charge of your shopping habit and use it to work for you – instead of against you.

That’s where our June 2009 issue steps in. Starting with the cover where model Diana Penty is in an incredible pair of Levi’s (under Rs 2,000) and a gorgeous Varun Sardana blouse – made especially for our budget issue. We talk about style at prices that will not make a hole in your pocket. So turn to our denim special and start building your wardrobe. Jeans are a girl’s best friend and there is a cut and colour to suit every body type. The best part is that you can wear them from day to night and you are always guaranteed to look super-stylish.
