I may be biased (I am), but moms on the Upper East Side know how to spend money, and the Upper West Side ladies of Manhattan know how to class it up at better rates.

I’ll, of course, always choose the west side as the best side, but as a New Yorker who likes high-end designers and a solid pair of Birkenstock clogs to fit into the Upper West Side dog club, I’m here to tell you how to find that UES style at a much lower rate.

Try sites like Quince, where you get direct-to-consumer pricing, or Amazon, which can afford to absorb the costs with its large-scale operation. Sure, it’s not supporting a local business, but sometimes you’ll want quick, easy conveniences like fast, free shipping to your door.

My point is that there are options. On Amazon, you can find a gorgeous Intimissimi boatneck sweater for $65 that looks very similar to this NAADAM cashmere at $148.

Quince has cashmere gloves that look like something stolen from a Ralph Lauren window on Madison Avenue.

If you’re worried someone will ask where you bought it and don’t want to come clean, use the old standby “it was a gift” and keep the guessing about how much you spent on these cute finds.

This is cheaper than most cashmere because it’s made with modal, which is extremely soft and silky on the skin. Combine that with cashmere and *chef’s kiss.* It comes in Small through X-Large in several colors.

If you’re alive in America right now, you’re probably freezing your bum off and your toes right along with it.

No need to do so when you could be covering your feet with cashmere socks designed to withstand low temperatures and look ultra cute.

My coworker swears by these gloves to keep her hands warm all the way from Queens to Midtown. Unfortunately, they are on backorder, so please join the waitlist, as the world already knows what a good deal these are. We just wanted to pass it along.

Women ask me all the time, “What can I wear in the dead of winter and still look dressy?” Always keep a pashmina on hand to wrap around your shoulders. It’s elegant and can be stuffed into a handbag or doubled as a scarf. Seriously, get one stat because this cashmere blend is only $60 and not on backorder — yet.

Looking for something less dressy, equally warm? Try this rib knitted 100% cashmere scarf. My only con is that it’s dry clean only, so if you’re a woman who wears a lot of foundation, don’t buy the white. Fortunately, it comes in multiple shades, so you can find your match.
