Site You Should Know - and Shop: Urban Philosophy

You know me, I'm addicted to sites I can score fast and cheap - but still amazing - trends on. I HAVE to introduce you to Urban Philosophy, in case you didn't already know about it. This is one of the sites that doesn't come along too frequently, full of true statement pieces that are so on trend but so different and bold. And everything is SO affordable. It's definitely a one-stop shop for revamping your wardrobe. Turn here for a dose of high-voltage print, head-turning silhouettes, stand-out jewelry and trendy bags. Here are some of my top picks on the site now:

Cropped jersey, $27

Art Deco necklace, $28

Baroque dress, $40

Floral-print tunic dress, $49.50

Black and white skinny pants, $47

Tiger-print shirt, $29

Floral-print skirt, $39

Studded clutch, $40

Handbags and 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.
