Something's Gotta Give

Last night I discovered that I have a really awesome roof, with a bunch of different "areas" that are fenced off but open to explore. It's an average NYC roof and doesn't have much going for it, but it's a roof in NYC people (that we have access to) - this is huge! That's where these pics are..

High Up

Wearing: The Addison Story Dress | Kelsi Dagger Booties | Pinky Yotto Jacket Are you not dying over this look!? The hight the heels that dress! I literally look like a fashionable sky-scrapper... ha kidding? So you can see I'm kinda excited about this look and that's because when I saw this dress in the showroom I said "no way Jose I cannot pull that off." With a little added edge and a personal style touch I think it looks pretty freaking awesome.Took this look for my new banner, what do you think?!   

Time Out

So this is definitely my favorite outfit I've worn in a while. From the colors to prints to cutouts and that small ruffle detail, it's close to perfection. And hello, have you seen how great this roof is? I live on the 9th floor, and we only have 9 floors in my building, so the roof is right above me. I've been finding it so nice to walk up there and take a "time out" from my busy day and clear my head. Which brings me to a suggestion for all bloggers out there - staring at your computers for way too many hours without taking a break is SO NOT the way to go. IFB recently did an article on 10 Secrets of Super Productive Style Bloggers that has some other great tips too.

Also - by the time you read this I'll be on a plane to ARUBA, yes!

So even though this look kind of goes against my personal style, I freaking love it. I never go for that girly "pretty" look, but the colors on this dress were just too amazing to resist. I mean I did put some armor on (using my cuffs) just to add a little edge. How sick are these pictures though?!
Today I am so crazy busy packing for Aruba and doing some last minute shopping. On my list is the new Zara flagship store and H&M for some inexpensive bikinis. Ugh bikinis, not sure if I'm beach body ready just yet.

Question - should I do a blog post on all the sunglasses I wear? Anyone...anyone...

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

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.

Big things are happening in this apartment guys, but it's all hush hush right now. The other day I spent my morning brain-storming with my partner in crime, Rebecca Zhau. Work breaks were taken on her incredible lower east side rooftop, and of course the weather was perfect. Had a really fun photo shoot today on my roof and I can't wait to share the images with you guys soon! Enjoy the weekend.
