ABOUT US

Ever since we started working on this website, people have asked us, “What is a PoorLittleRichGirl? A spoiled brat whose daddy took away her credit cards?” And our response is always a resounding “No.” While we understand the confusion, a website for snobby heiresses would probably get very old, very quickly. We like to use the term as more of a play on words to describe the “lifestyle” we endorse. So, to answer the question on everyone’s mind…

A PoorLittleRichGirl is a young woman living in the city earning enough money to support herself, but not quite enough to go spending it on every Jimmy, Marc and Saint Laurent she sees. She is conscious of the image she portrays and loves life’s little luxuries, but is not willing to spend a small fortune on designer goods and premium martinis. She is smart and would rather put this money into her 401K.

PoorLittleRichGirls.com is home base for this savvy lady. She can get updated on everything from the hottest budget-friendly events in Chicago to advice on balancing her checkbook. She can peruse our Deals & Discounts section to save her pretty-self a pretty-penny. She can even interact with other PoorLittleRichGirls swapping tips and tricks for living with high-style on a low budget. In other words, it is a place where fashion sense meets common sense.
