They're the stars of the Simple Life - Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. But you want to know what they do best? Shop. And now you can sport the same designer labels but for a lot less. Shireen Sandoval explains in tonight's Fashion Forward.

(WSVN) -- They may be leading "The Simple Life" on TV, but when it comes to clothes and accessories, socialites Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie only splurge on the best.

From a Louis Vuitton doggie bag, to Dolce and Gabbana overalls, these uptown girls always buy designer label.

But while real designer duds can cost you an arm and a leg, there is a way to get the look for a lot less.

Guy Richman of ashford.com says, "We only carry the most current merchandise, the most stylish merchandise that are on videos, are on TV shows, are on magazine covers."

At ashford.com, you can find Fashion Forward purses, jewelry and other designer accessories at a bargain.

Richman says, "We ship around the world, 50 states in America, we have customers calling us day and night, and the sheer volume that we use enables us to keep those prices low, and we pass those savings on directly to the customer."

The merchandise is real; no fakes here... like this python Gucci bag or this orange Dolce and Gabbana purse, which sells for 15 percent less on-line.

Richman says, "Not everyone has access to Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, or Rodeo Drive per se, so for those people, they can buy the same luxury type goods on line at our website."

He adds, "A good majority of that are handbags Gucci, Prada, Fendi, as well as sunglasses, scarves and all the other luxury items that fall into that category."

In fact, this Sunrise based company sells, sorts, then ships out thousands of designer items on a single day... like this Burberry scarf, which sells for more than half off retail.

Richman says, "We carry Burberry, Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Jay Strongwater, we carry name brand watches from Tag Heur, Movado, Omega, Seiko."

At bluefly.com, you can pick up the latest Juicy Couture t-shirts, Dolce and Gabbana skirts and D & G dresses for a steal.

Richman says, "Those stores have large rents to pay and large overheads, being an internet company, a pure internet company, we make it up in the volume."

At both Bluefly and Ashford, finding the most Fashion Forward designer goods is as easy as a mouse click away.

Richman says, "If it's current and fashionable and in demand, you will find it on our website. Our merchandise stays on the edge, on the curb."

The company that runs ashford.com even sells designer watches and diamonds... All with a money back guarantee.
