SOBBING ON FIFTH: What We're Wearing

What We're Wearing

Today I am wearing Pacifica's Color Quench Lip Tint in Blood Orange. Every time the weather changes I get chapped lips, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. I have been in the process of trying to find something that heals my lips but isn't a skier's chapstick. This is the perfect product for moisture and leaves a lightly tinted sheen of color.

Perfectly Glossed (And moisturized - and tinted) Kisses,

Sutton

It might not be that sunny but I’m wearing my heart-shaped sunglasses from 80's Purple anyway, clouds be damned. They’re too cute to hide in my bag. Heart-shaped shades are a cheeky way to finish a tougher look – keeping it feminine – but I especially love these because they remind me of my favorite movie ever, True Romance. Here, they’re lending their sweetness to my vintage biker jacket, Eddie Borgo necklace, Markus Lupfer sweater, Asos skirt, Alexander Wang bag and I-don’t-remember boots.

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.
