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.  :-)

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.

Colored Easter Legs

This was my first Easter that I spent in Manhattan, so I took the opportunity to walk down to see the Easter Bonnet Parade. I wasn't 100% sure that we were going to stay in town today, so I didn't get a chance to make my own bonnet. Let me tell you, some of them were absolutely amazing! Stay tuned tomorrow as I plan on posting pictures of some of the creative bonnets I saw while walking down Fifth Avenue.

shoes- c/o SO Central available at Yeswalker

I was so happy my friends at Yeswalker sent over these amazing lace-up wedges. I literally walked about 50 blocks in these shoes (no lie!)...and this was my first time wearing them! No blisters, no pain. Can you say comfortable??? If you haven't checked out their website yet, I definitely recommend it. There you will find all sorts of unique shoes, handbags, and accessories.

I was really surprised that the city was as bustling as it was considering it was a holiday weekend. I haven't seen that many tourists in quite some time. Needless to say, I was rather embarrassed taking these photos today. So many tourists just staring at me! Were me and my dog that cute that it was necessary to gawk at us? Geesh! Didn't anyone ever tell them it is rude to just stare at someone?

Albion Fit Go Long Crew + Giveaway

As many of you are aware, I'm not a very sporty kind of gal. I wear jeans time to time, save my yoga pants for bedtime, and do not belong to a gym. Even though I tend to dress up 90% off the time, I like to do so comfortably. Albion Fit, a leader of women's fitness and swimwear, sent over this crew for me to check out and it has become an instant favorite of mine. It is so unbelievably soft and cozy! This top has a great deal of stretch to it, and the light weight material is perfect for cool springtime weather. Although Albion Fit is known for their workout clothing, I like to venture outside the box and try something different with their activewear...like pairing this top with hot pink tights. Nothing wrong with that...right???
