What We're Wearing September 13th, 2013

Today I'm wearing Benefit's Body Balm - Bathina 'Take A Picture It Lasts Longer...'. The warm weather is not completely gone yet, sweaters and jeans haven't yet replaced my skirts and tanks - my skin is still showing and needs to look amazing. This balm leaves my legs and arms silky, moisturized, and with a hint of glimmer. It leaves my skin with a little sheen, but doesn't look glittery. Middle School dance much? Just use the 'puff' to apply this balm all over! I apply body cream right after I get out of the shower for better absorption. Then I wash my hands before applying hair products or makeup. A major bonus of this product is that you're applying the balm with their puff- it doesn't get on your hands, so no need to wash them after applying it!

Perfectly Glossed Kisses,

Sutton

I may have my closet still full of summer clothes (that I've grown quite tired of for this year, frankly), but I do have this Suno jacket out as I scored it at the Opening Ceremony sample sale when the weather was already warming. I was thrilled to pieces when the temperature got low enough to wear it. The pattern is so quintessentially Suno, and the back is cut with this kick pleat that gives it a dramatic silhouette. Plus it's soft and lightweight and basically feels like it was spun by angels that have a Masters degree in textiles. To play it down a bit, I paired it with boyfriend jeans and my Miu Miu slippers, and the Zara crop top I ran out and bought after seeing the 16th show this week featuring the midriff-baring style. And I topped it off with my Erickson Beamon Rocks necklace, as I have been doing with basically every outfit lately. Sorry I'm not sorry.

(Here I am, sadly pondering the existence of this mailbox.)

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.
