statement pant

Usually throughout the winter I spend my time trying to figure out how to pull off dresses and pencil skirts, sometimes sans tights, despite sub zero temperatures in the city. However, this season - with its exceptionally disturbingly freezing temperatures - I've decided to become BFF with the statement pant. Animal print, sequin, velvet, faux leather, wide leg, high waisted, neon green, pastel pink, literally anything you can think of - from cook prints and patterns, to bright colors or cool textures, I've fallen in love and I don't care who knows it. There are so many great options for fun pants  just about anywhere you chose to shop and it truly does help combat those winter closet blues. Plus, you can layer them with tights underneath for extra warmth during those freezing months and then wear them in the spring and fall without the thermal layer. I've had a much easier time befriending the winter season when I'm able to look down at the snow and see leopard print ankle biters or sequin track pants cascading down my legs, instead of frost bite. I'd definitely recommend it.

One of my favorite things to do in New York (or any city for that matter) is finding balconies, rooftops, porches, etc to perch up and visit in. To me, there really is nothing better. You get to see the city from a completely different standpoint and environment, and - sometimes - after a long day's work or fighting for your life on the New York City subways during peak hours, it really reminds you why you love the city so much.  Looking up you see a beautiful scape of skyscrapers and older "historied" buildings, all with the most beautiful architectural feel. And looking down you get a view of the New Yorkers and city visitors buzzing around. With Manhattan being so small, you will usually find some sort of views of the rivers, too. It is truly a favorite weekend activity and above is a favorite weekend outfit.

Some of my favorite rooftops, for good measure:
Gallow Green, Chelsea
230 5th, NoMad
Loopy Doopy, Battery Park
The Press Lounge, Hell's Kitchen
Top of the Strand
The Ides, Williamsburg, Brookyln

On my list for this spring:
Lounge at Pod 39
