Chic, Casual, and Sexy: WTFashionati in Williamsburg

Cassie with We The Fashionati snuck out to Brooklyn to get some nice and dirty Williamsburg backdrops. Today Cassie was serving us chic, casual, and sexy- all at the same time.

 Come play with us. 

Cassie fit perfectly into the city landscape as soon as she arrived to New York. Cassie is chic as hell in these vegan leather trousers from H&M. 

This peplum top has great shape and awesome detail. Looks great on you Cass. 

Top by Parker NY. 

LOVE the square face on this watch by Marc Jacobs. Love Marc. 

Loving this fucking fab staple of a bag from Michael Kors.

Another Marc Jacobs accessory of the day: these black booties. 

Love the outfit. Love the model. Check out her blog: We The Fashionati 

Because we're obsessed.

Rainy day in Dumbo

m- Every day Kealro and I venture into the city to take pictures, it rains. Is this metaphorical to our friendship Kealro? Today there was an ominous cloud over the city of Manhattan but we were far from discouraged. One must know how to dress for any weather in NYC. It takes time, but with a little preparation, you can TOTALLY win against the weather....or at least be dry when it's wet. 

Dumbo was our location of choice for the day. I fucking love dumbo. The cobblestone roads, the old warehouses converted to art galleries, the view of the city across the Hudson. Dumbo WINS. 

So Kealro is wearing a nice comfy outfit from American Apparel. His dark purple velvet sweatshirt looks perfect with a nice little peek of denim at the collar. 

Black American Apparel jeans and Doc Martens are Alex's staple this time of year. You cant go wrong with a good foundation of black. Makes outfit choices easy. 

I threw this outfit together minutes before I walked out the door and I ended up really loving it. My maroon corduroy pants are a pair of Levis I got at Urban Outfitters years ago and the camel turtle neck I paired with them is an old sweater of my grandfathers. Camel is my jam in the fall and winter sooooo this turtle was MINE as soon as I saw it. 

This army green jacket was found deeeeeeep in the mountains of West Virginia at a fellow Goodwill. It is American made from WW2....I mean what? The details of this jacket are patriotic and plentiful. I especially love the star buttons and thick belt around the waist. Great find Goodwill. (only $15 bucks) 

Alex wore this outfit for two second but I still got a little snappy. Alex is sporting a primary red mock neck and gray fisherman sweater, both from American Apparel. 

My accessories today are also from American Apparel. I loveeeee these tortoise shell frames and any color beanie from AA is fantastic. Today mine was maroon. 

Keeping the same turtle neck/cable knit theme, I changed into this vintage LeTigre sweater I found at a vintage shop in Asheville, North Carolina with a mustard mock-neck from American Apparel. 

Nice and warm in Dumbo today. 

Rainy days can be fun when you prepare.

A Piece of Fab

The night before I moved to New York, my mother (Momma Nay) came into my room while I was finishing the last of my packing. "Ok FINE" she said. "You can take the leopard jacket." 

I almost peed. 

 Growing up, this jacket blessed us with it's presence when my mother was feeling especially fabulous. And being especially fabulous is my mother's specialty.

 

 She really does love me. 

Thanks Momma Nay.

Street Style: American Apparel

I love these girls so much. They are REAL in every sense of the word. Working at American Apparel has exposed me to some beautiful people but these two are the most. They deserve to be seen. 

Today Lorraine (left) and Bria (right) came out to Williamsburg to get some shots for American Apparel. We are determined to get them on a billboard. Love this mustard long sleeve turtleneck on their beautiful skin. YES please. 

Bria is Tina Turner but better. 

Lorraine is rocking the light wash 100s from AA. I literally wear these more than any other article of clothing I own. The FIT is fanTASTIC. The high waist flatters all...and your butt looks oh so fantastic. 

Lorraine is an African goddess. 

Obsessed with American Apparel's basics. 

Because we're obsessed.
