What We're Wearing

Today I was feeling a bit intergalactic so I painted my nails with Essie's Nothing Else Metals, so they could travel through the galaxies. Too much? Well, whatever, this polish is out of this world. Okay, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself. Metallic lavender, lilac color is gorgeous.

Perfectly Glossed Kisses,

Sutton

This Guns N' Roses sweatshirt is proving quite the smart buy for me. I wear it so much that I'm pretty sure the cost-per-wear is that Urban Outfitters is paying me. I just love a good rock tee and crazy skirt, as you all know by now, so this sweatshirt is the winter version. I feel like the skirt changes the entire look. (You may disagree but maybe that's because you just don't have a shirt like this in your life yet so THERE.) Here I've layered it over a printed flannel shirt for just a pop of print at the top, and then I added my beloved Sandro skirt. It's got an orange underlay that looks red with its long mesh overlay, and even though it's an awkward length on me, I'm addicted.

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.
