Tigers on my Shirt

 

Wearing: Zara Shorts and Top (both in stores now) | Vintage Bag (Beacon's Closet) | Deena & Ozzy Oxfords - Similar | Shop Jeen Sunnies

PFFFF (that's me being exhausted after moving to my new apartment this weekend). It's been a long weekend of sun bathing and heavy lifting, but I'm finally feeling a bit settled. I moved from the West side to the East side, to a brand new apartment with the best part being - the exposed brick! Today I have to finish decorating (and cleaning) but then I will take some pics and maybe even do a blog post on it. We'll see! Happy Monday peeps.

Full Bloom

Wearing: Floral Jeans | Boutique Blouse - Similar

Spring is in full bloom and I couldn't be happier. If you've been reading any trend reports lately, they most likely are telling you that "florals are huge for Spring." But hey, aren't florals always huge for Spring? They are the perfect pattern that mark the end runny noses, frozen toes, and anything else having to do with the cold. I also just really like florals.

Coming back from LA today - had the most amazing time out here for the Pasadena flea!

Creeper Clones

 

Wearing: Boutique Shoes - Similar | Work Custom Pants | Free People Shirt | Vintage Blazer - Similar

If you're confused by the title of this post, that's okay. In Spring of 2011, Prada released their uber-flatform cork oxford, the "creeper" that quickly went from runway to store to SOLD OUT in a matter of days. Some hate them and some can't get enough. When I came across this look-alike the other day I felt the need to take them for a spin. So here's my take on the creeper... kinda cool, right? If you can afford to splurge a little, here's the Prada versions I would get:

So I did my research and here they are - the creeper CLONE for $50.00 from Tobi

Smart Pants

 

 

 

Wearing 1: Boutique Pants | Zara Blazer | Deena&Ozzy Oxfords | ASOS Spine Necklace

Wearing 2: Boutique Pants | BDG Shirt | Dolce Vita Loafers | Bond Hardware Collar

I heart my smart pants. Smart - because of their versatility, comfort, sophistication and on-trend ways. Who knew the pajama pant trend would the hit fashion industry by storm? I guess we did. Their super lightweight which makes them perfect for the warmer weather, and can be worn in several different ways (like so). When I found these pants at a random West Village boutique I immediately pictured a structured white blazer, and someone from the 70s. Also the reason I decided to show you these pants in two different outfits... Because I love this style so much, I decided to share some of my favorites for your purchasing pleasure.

Elvis Toes

 

Wearing: Zara Top | All Saints Jeans | Topshop Shoes | Rebecca Minkoff Bag 

So I'm sitting here with my girl Kelsey of FashionAce and she thinks I look like I have "Elvis toes." Her reasoning for this are the shiny gold shoes that look like they're ready to dance. In an instagram I took (@weworewhat) I captioned these shoes "not only are they oxfords, but they're gold, AND have cutouts... perfection in a shoe brought to you by Topshop."

Brooklyn Charm

 

 

Wearing: Vintage Blazer - Similar | Sunnies-Similar | Levi Shorts | DIY Oxfords  Yesterday Nicole from Running in Wedges and I had a vintage playmate in Brooklyn (specifically on Bedford ave). We started off the way I start off any of my long days here - with a very large ice coffee and a pastry. Of course I decided to sport some of my favorite vintage finds (blazer, sunnies and blouse) as we ventured to Beacon's Closet a.k.a heaven discounted. This Beacon's in particular is really big and can seem overwhelming when you first walk in, but I knew I was on a hunt for some new shoes so my search was simple. These 3 pairs pictured above were my finds and guess how much they cost me!? Yup, 30 buckaroos (total). Anyway - I really heart Nicole. We work together at Socialyte and always have so much to talk about. She's my thrifty/blogger other half, and just get's it.

Wearing: Vintage Top | Current/Elliot Jeans | Ben Minkoff BagLike any savvy shopper, I ALWAYS check the men's section for any amazing finds. Like this bag! Obviously I love Rebecca Minkoff everything, but have you seen the latest Ben Minkoff collection? It's  pretty great. And, of course every girl needs a great pair of boyfriend jeans - these are so soft and comfortable.

Wearing: The Addison Story Top | Work Custom Pants | Deena&Ozzy Shoes 

I can't get over how gorgeous this shade of blue is, and yes it looks like this in person too. This silk top from The Addison Story actually has an open-back, can you say sexy? Sorry I forgot to photograph it! I'm really loving this grundy looking wall and the mini staircase that lead to nowhere. Also, getting ready to host a giveaway soon so keep your eyes peeled...

So guess what, I'm going to ARUBA this Thursday! Be jealous, very jealous. 

ALSO - I've recently hit over 20,000 followers on my new favorite app Pose. It's basically instagram for fashion but better! So if you haven't downloaded it - do it! And, follow me @weworewhat. 

These Friends of Mine

Wearing: The Addison Story Shorts & Top | ASOS Cuffs | Vintage Sunglasses - Similar | Express Collar

Finally! My roof has been fixed and I can have all the access I want to a 360 view of downtown Manhattan. For the next few days I'll be posting a series of pictures I took featuring pieces from The Addison Story Spring collection. This was actually the last picture I took this day and so of course my trusty side-kicks jumped in for a few shots. You've met Kelsey before from Fashion Ace, and this is Freddy from Blue Perk who has been taking many of my pics lately. SO this is us, being us. Oh how I love these friends of mine.
