Top of the Rock


When I think of magical places, the rooftop at Rockefeller Center is high on my list. And if you haven't been... pack your bags, put it on your to-do list and come away with me!

When people ask me what to do in the city I always always point them to the top of The Rock. It has the best views in the city, is so easy to get to and is truly such a fun time. The common mistake is that people go to the top of the Empire State Building. While that's all good and well, it doesn't make any sense!

Why be IN the building that defines the New York City skyline? You want to SEE that building (and One World Trade for that matter too). The Rock is that place for you!

An insiders tip is to keep going up. They let you off first on the skydeck level with all the windows and tall glass. You make a full circle in the building, go up some escalators and are completely outside with tall glass casing. You might think you've made it BUT there are another set of stairs to go up where you have a completely unobstructed view.

Up there is where the good photos are. No glass to get in your way, the wind in your hair AND there are a lot fewer people up there (since most don't realize they can go up higher). So if you ever visit the top of the rock, make sure to keep this in mind!!

As for this dress... I LOVE it but it sadly sold out the day I got it in the mail :/ but the good thing is THESE shoes are back in stock and you need them in your closet ASAP. Like yesterday because they are amazing. While I will admit I'm wearing them incorrectly in these photos, I will say that they worked out just fine this way.
