SOBBING ON FIFTH: What We're Wearing

What We're Wearing

Today I am wearing IOMA's Repair Gel. This product is amazing, after using it my skin's appearance is much more radiant. And fine, I will admit that at times my skin is not perfect but this miracle worker makes everything better. Bye bye blemishes and oil, hello soft and smooth skin. A true all in one; astringent, toner, and hydrater. One step and done.

Perfectly Glossed Kisses,

Sutton

Today was one of those weird weather days that you have no idea how to dress for. Everything I put on ended up giving me serious doubts about how it would hold up under rain, serious wind and abnormally high (read: humid) temperatures. I ended up opting for a thicker sweater so I could wear a lighter jacket. This is one of my favorites, from Lulus, and happens to be a gift from Sutton – see, she does good sometimes. I always try to balance the super 3-D texture and bold stripes with some classic monochrome staples, like this pleated black skirts from Urban Outfitters and these sleek over-the-knee boots from Thirteen Vintage.

Handbags & Hugs,

Astor

Our Story

We are Sutton and Astor Van Brigsby. We were born and raised on Park Avenue, a mere hop, skip and 30-second ride with our driver, Morton, from Fifth Avenue. Oh, yes, there was a time when our daily shopping trips were what chick-flick montages were made of – sales assistants scurried at our beck and call, we did lots of twirling in front of fitting room mirrors without spilling our glasses of champagne, and doormen helped Morton help us into the car with stacks of hatboxes – which had shopping bags of clothing and shoes inside of them, because we’re not really into hats. But our designer RTW-filled reality came crashing to a traumatizing end when our father went ballistic one day – WHY we do not know – and cut up our credit cards. Apparently, it bothered him that we had spent his secretary’s annual salary in one trip to Bergdorf. He completely cut us off, I mean stone cold. With the exception of health insurance, cell phone bills, cable and electricity, we are COMPLETELY on our own. Left to our own devices to stay as well dressed as before but on a salary that doesn’t even compare to our past allowance. So, I, Astor, took a job in fashion and Sutton took a job in beauty. It is all we know and love, after all, and we figured that way we would have our bases covered with discounts – what else is a girl to do? If you’re like us, trying to keep a closet stocked with the kind of stuff Bill Cunningham will notice you in on a less-than-desirable salary, join us, won’t you? We’ll support each other, we’ll have cry fests over things we can’t have – and we’ll come up with ways to make the number of those things less and less by hunting sample sales, scouring the internet for discounts and even DIYing up our own versions. We WILL get through this together.
