i hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. easter has become one of my favorite holidays over the past few years. it's the only one i get to celebrate in the city i call home, with the two people that mean the most to me. for the past five years my parents have traveled up early sunday morning, burgeoning wicker basket in hand, to deliver milk chocolate bunnies and reese's eggs (with a trinket or two mixed in). we then head over to the upper east side to wait in line alongside the majority of new york city's social registrar. with ensembles rivaling fashion week and more birkin's than you see at the BG cafe for brunch, it's an optical indulgence. regardless of the temperature, it feels like the city is finally coming back to life. the poppy red tulips that line park avenue and the pastel clad toddlers, is enough to put a smile on anyones face.
there is only one thing more synonymous with spring than florals ("groundbreaking"...) and that is wicker. for the past few s/s seasons straw bags have seen a resurgence in popularity. the easter bunny was kind enough to deliver this grosgrain pamela munson beauty to me and words cannot express how obsessed i am with it. my love runs deeper than peoples fascination with who bit beyonce, so much so that i'm moments away from adding the complimenting clutch to my cart. whether you're in the market for a bag to protect your farmers market peonies, or window shopping in sag harbor, these beauties won't let you down.
