It's definitely been a rainy couple of days in the city. In need of a little sunshine (and a tan) here are some things that have brightened it up my week a little, including my kick ass leopard umbrella!
Colorful Toy Watches... I'm on a watch kick lately, just got myself a beautiful white one for the summer. Would love to add an orange or blue to the mix
Emmy's raw and vegan macaroons - the chai are the best! 
Congrats to William and Kate! Check out these hysterical tea bags on Pylones

When I think of April I think nice weather, open-toe shoes, lunch outside and ice coffee. Here are a few things that I'm looking forward too this month as the weather gets warmer..... 
The $1.99 daffodils at Trader Joe's -- always adds some bright color to my little kitchen 
The Brewster and Bloom Parade on Cape Cod - forever reminds me of April, when we were little my mom used to load us into the Bronco and we'd park outside of my grandmothers deli to watch the parade on her tailgate. My aunts and cousins would join us as we'd watch with turkey sandwichs in hand.
Open-toe shoes and anything peach..... 
Cherry Garcia at Ben & Jerry's (except the B&J's in new york don't always take part in free cone day which i think is bullshit!)
Nautical sweaters as seen in Atlantic-Pacific 
Easter brunch with my family on Cape Cod -- counting the days! 
I was walking home today and saw another lovely sign of spring... the restaurants in my neighborhood opened up their outdoor dining. Finally, the winter entrances are gone and have been replaced with rod iron fences and window boxes filled with hydrangeas. This makes me so excited -- my favorite evenings in the city consist of getting a bottle of wine, eating outside and people watching. Depending on where you are in the city, the crowds are different so it never gets boring. Here are a couple of my favorite outdoor spots...

Last year, Francois Payard organized the first Macaron Day in NYC inspired by the Jour de Macaron in Paris -- why wouldn't Paris have a day dedicated to macarons? All the more reason why I want to live there. In the mean time, I can celebrate that across NYC bakeries will be giving away macarons all day on Sunday, March 20. Yes, I will be spending my sunday patisserie hopping.
Why is this the first time I've ever heard of the cadbury creme egg and mini egg McFlurry at McDonalds? And why are they only offered in the UK? I can only imagion the yummyness of cadbury and soft serve swirled together, ahh I want one. I need one. AND thankfully I may be headed to London in the beginning of April for work. Considering I gave up sugar for lent -- you can break lent on Friday's right? Or is it sunday...... or maybe I'll just sprinkle some crushed mini eggs on my tasti delight.....
