SOBBING ON FIFTH: What We're Wearing

What We're Wearing

I am in full-blown summer mode, ignoring all the rain and embracing the warm temperatures. I'm sure that this doesn't totally shock everyone, but I use my nails to reflect my feelings, outfits, almost everything. I am now ready to whip out my bright neon polishes. Today, I'm wearing Color Club Polish in Reign in Spain.

I got this polish in my last Birchbox, having shared some of my previous monthly boxes with you; Birchbox, Beauty Box 5, Glossy Box and Starbox. What can I say? Opening my mailbox and seeing only bills is beyond depressing, but a box of beauty goodies mixed in between all of the final warning notices really helps ease the pain. Anyway, this polish is so fun and almost seems to glow! Makes my hands look tan, which I also love. Tried holding up my fingers against my face while walking around, just didn't seem to have the same effect.

Perfectly Glossed Kisses,

Sutton

I got these insane, so-bad-they’re-good sneakers at Urban Outfitters for TEN DOLLARS, y’all. Practically neon tropical-print with a Spice Girl platform. Decided to debut them today with a vintage denim vest and vintage cut-off Megadeath tee, along with a perdy little white brocade skirt from, yes, Kohl’s.

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.
