Byline: IAN LOWES

IN THE weeks leading up to the emergency Budget we were warned to expect harsh measures and a period of austerity as the newly elected coalition Government was to start tackling the country's Manolo blahnik shoes pounds 156bn of public debt.

This had the potential to be a very painful budget and there is no doubt that it has hit the pockets of everybody - notably through the increase of VAT from 17.5% to 20% as from January 4, 2011.

Many of us who save and invest will have started to review our finances after the Chancellor's pronouncements.

However, for investors and buy-to-let owners, the rise in Capital Gains Tax (CGT) had been the greatest worry.

All signs pointed to the Chancellor increasing the CGT rate to reflect the level of Income Tax, ie 40-50% for higher and super-rate payers - as was hinted at in pre-Budget comments - with the possibility of the re-introduction of taper relief and all the bureaucracy that goes Manolo blahnik shoes with it.

I am pleased to see that the Chancellor has decided to implement a simpler system, keeping the rate at 18% for low-to-middle income earners and increasing it to 28% for higher rate taxpayers. I had predicted Manolo blahnik shoes a rise to 25%, so I was not too far out. This change applied from midnight, June 22.

This will bring in additional revenues for the Treasury through increased CGT and Income Tax payments, but it will hit Middle England investors far less than was hinted at - you can speculate whether this was a contrived political ploy.

I was most happy to see that not only was the annual CGT allowance retained at pounds 10,100 but it will be increased in line with inflation in future years, meaning most investors will still be able to avoid paying CGT. The Lib Dems had proposed slashing it to pounds 1,000 which would have had a serious impact on ordinary people who have saved prudently and those who have been investing in property to finance their retirement.

Higher-rate taxpayers will now have to pay the 28% but with the CGT allowance intact, which is significantly better than the 40%-50% hinted at pre Budget.

This Budget will bring CGT in line with other countries but provide an incentive for the UK to keep on saving for its future.

Likewise, the extension of the 10% CGT rate for entrepreneurs from the first pounds 2m of qualifying gains to pounds 5m will be welcomed by businesses holding assets with latent capital gains.

We all knew CGT would be hiked, the question was by how much. Now we know the details, with the appropriate financial advice and the right tax planning, investors should still be able to Christian louboutin shoes maximise Christian louboutin shoes returns from investments and minimise their tax liability.

SUNGLASSES are a pig to buy. Every time I go into David Clulow for my contact lenses, it's full of women frowning into mirrors as they try on prospective purchases.

Since my local branch is in Kensington High Street, it's hardly a revelation that most of them seem to be trying on Chanel, Dior or Gucci. I suppose Kensingtonians like the bold designer logos these brands incorporate into their shades.

There is another way, though.

In fashionable circles, the big, ostentatious sunnie has been usurped in popularity by the aviator. Unlike the bling-bling brashness of designer shades, the aviator shade is lo-fi and decidedly retro. Its droopylooking lenses lend the wearer an air of nonchalance, which is probably why they are such a hit with celebrities.

Air Jordan Retro

The ultimate nonchalant celebrity is Gwyneth Paltrow, a woman who looks so perpetually sardonic that poor Chris Martin must be a bucket of nerves.

Whether attending Chanel couture or Live8, Paltrow's aviators are always firmly in place.

She favours Ray-Bans (enquiries: 0800 435945), arguably the most classic brand of all, since they designed their first pair in 1936.

Hers have smoky grey lenses and thin gold frames, though Ray-Ban has a wide selection.

Aviator-wearers are born, not made. A heart-shaped face works best, although a long face can carry them off as well. If you have a round or wide face, then this is probably not the style for you: aviators are quite narrow, and will make you look as though your eyes are too close together, Miu Miu handbags like a monkey's.

Still, you could always experiment with a less challenging shape that allows you to get the look. Oliver Peoples ( peoples.com) has a Commander shade featuring less droopy lenses, while Linda Farrow Vintage (available at Harrods and Harvey Nichols) has a good selection of metalframed shades in different finishes.

Or head to Michel Guillon (020 7730 2142), where a special computer screen allows you to see how you look from all angles before you buy.

Nips and tucks with fine styling

WHILE some magazines are busy producing "Ultimate Plastic Surgery Guides", you can always count on Italian Vogue to go one better.

Possibly the best thing I've seen in a magazine ever, the August issue of Vogue Italia features a 70-page fashion story starring the world's most beautiful models enjoying various degrees of mutilation. Missy Rayder gets a tit job, Elise Crombez gets a nose job, while Linda Evangelista gets a facelift and liposuction.

Of course, it's all staged: models don't need improvement, after all.

But then again, does anyone? Less of a fas

IT IS a sign of the times when an ex-big spender and self- confessed shopaholic writes a manual on how to be thrifty.

But that's just what India Knight has done. Five years after her best-selling book, The Shops, she now guides us through the joys of . . . not shopping.

"Admittedly, there is a slight Uturn," she confesses. "As you might imagine, the whole ethos of The Shops was that acquisition is pleasurable.

"But the things I wrote about were, for example, drawing pencils. Or a nice washing-up brush that made you feel cheerful when you did the dishes. It wasn't about buying Louis Vuitton handbags and expensive shoes."

It's fair to say, if you put the books side by side, the configuration of titles might seem a bit strange. But both are about taking pleasure in the smaller things in life.

"In The Shops, it's small things you've purchased," India says. "In The Thrift Book, it's small things you've made or got very cheaply.

But the vibe is the same."

A child of the more-is-more 1980s, India doesn't advocate giving up the things you really love but, thanks to the credit crunch, she does think we're turning into a more sober society: "I think people are realising the mindless consumption we've all been engaging with for the last two decades has had its day."

A single mother-of-three, India readily admits to being naturally extravagant and irresponsible with money.

In 2007, even though she had two books in the Top 10 bestseller charts, she was served with bankruptcy papers.

"It wasn't the first time, alas," she sighs. "I've been so financially disastrous that once I went to my bailiff's child's christening!

"I thought, I'm 42, enough is enough. I don't want to be in this world of debt any more."

After 20 years of an easy-comeeasy-go approach to her bank account and overdraft, India decided to tighten her purse strings.

"To my complete amazement, I found I was saving hundreds and hundreds of pounds a month. The changes weren't painful, or grotty. My life didn't turn grey.

"I think there's quite a lot in my book that suggests there are other ways to feel good about yourself," India adds. "You don't just have to be acquisitive.

"Prioritise your time," she advises. "Don't hang out in city centres looking at stuff you can't afford."

But for the millions of women who depend on retail therapy, India says this doesn't mean you should spend your Saturdays shopping in Primark instead.

"I don't believe in treating clothes like tissues, buying something because it's cheap and knowing it's going to break, and then buying another one.

"When it comes to buying clothes, I believe in buying better, fewer, and less often!"

THE Thrift Book - Live Well and Spend Less, by India Knight, is published by Fig Tree, priced pounds 14.99.
