If You're Reading This, You're Hip

The New York Times has finally announced to the world how cool we are with an article on the emergence of the Recessionista trend -- though one expert says it's just a way to justify shopping during tough economic times (as long as it's cheap it's okay) but since we were never girls that would consider buying $1235 purses I disagree. But I do like the slogan they pulled from a Sears catalog from the 1930s : Be Smart and Thrifty!
