Peplum in Paradise

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! I have to say, mine has been quite fantastic...and half of the reason has to be the weather. It has been absolutely gorgeous here in NYC. If it were about 10-15 degrees warmer it would be perfect! HELLO SPRINGTIME!

Yesterday we went for brunch in Williamsburg, Brooklyn where I had the most amazing French toast (probably the best of my life!). If you are ever in the area stop by Walter Foods and try the stuffed French toast...you can thank me later.  :-)

dress- Elle

tights- a gift

shoes- Kimchi Blue available at Urban Outfitters

necklace- H&M

coat- Silence + Noise

This morning we opted to wander around Central Park (which is where these photos are from). I have to say, living on the Upper East Side isn't my favorite neighborhood...but living within walking distance to the park makes it all worth it! We love wandering around Central Park when the weather is nice. My dog loves it too! All we have to say is, "Rocko, do you want to go to the park?" and he runs to get his harness on. Silly guy!

After living in NYC for countless years and going to Central Park more times than I can count, it's really amazing that every time I go there I wander upon a spot that is new to me. It really is quite refreshing.

NYC Easter Bonnet Parade

As I mentioned in my last post, this year I had the opportunity to check out the Easter Bonnet Parade in NYC. This was such a fun gathering of some seriously creative and fashionable people. I saw everything from top hats to hats made out of Easter baskets and peeps!

I have to say, I think the peep hat that this little boy had on above was my favorite. What you can't see in this photo is that the stuffed chick on the top jiggled back and forth. And in case you didn't realize, I love peeps!!! I mean...who doesn't???

I just love that everyone in attendance had such a great sense of humor about it all. Laughter and smiles filled the streets. If you get a chance to go to this gathering in the future you should definitely check it out. Have any of you ever gone to it before?

This bonnet showcase got me thinking...what would I make my ideal bonnet out of? The next time I attend this "parade" I will definitely be rocking a crazy hat. What would you make your Easter bonnet out of???
