Manifesting this scenario soon: LA, bike, daisies in the basket. The lovely Anita Ekberg, 1956.

Swimsuits in the dessert, 1949 Vogue. I’d like to see more surreal fashion spreads like this. Stop playing it so safe, Anna!

From where I ride.
Meetings, meetings, meetings! Last one of the day: at The Maritime Hotel.
A handsome building on Sixth Avenue I often overlook.
Things I need: a soft pretzel pool floatie. And, um, a pool! Discovered via Oh Joy, one of my favorite blogs. From one pretzel-eating-sun-worshipping Philly girl to another: Oh Joy, you’ve done it again!
Kristen Stewart and her scowl bore me to tears, but her new campaign for Balenciaga Florabotanica fragrance is pretty awesome. Love that mastermind Nicolas Ghesquière clad her in one of the iconic dresses from the label’s 2008 spring collection, too. The re-use of the dress is, paradoxically, rather fresh.
How fabulous is this traditional water seller hat from Morocco? Leave it Kelly Framel to subvert and style it to stunning effect. If you haven’t peeped this latest fashion editorial by The Glamourai and From Me To You, do so right now! The colors, patterns, luggage, headpieces and bold jewels are beyond. These two are creating spreads on par – or superior – to most high fashion mags. Hats off!
Every night, like a moth to a flame.
Hershey Park: A Tradition
The Prusinowskis have a longstanding Hershey Park tradition. We’ve gone nearly every year since I was born. In fact, my mom and dad had a date there before they were married, and we picnicked there when I was one. Over the years, it’s become a Father’s Day tradition. Here are some fun shots from last weekend. Yeah we’re nerds. And we love it.
Here comes the boom: Kar and Dad taking off on Storm Runner. It launches from 0-72 mph in 2 seconds flat. Naturally, we must ride the front.
The Wild Mouse. Such a strange ride. As it careens around corners, this teeny tiny coaster gives the illusion that you’re gonna fall off the edge of the track. Mice be crazy!
The Flying Falcon is just the dumbest ride ever, which makes Karen and me love it all the more. Four giant arms suspend with seven Falcon cars that spin sideways in a circular motion. And it’s hideous. J’adore.
We’re too impatient for the Ferris Wheel. But this captures the beauty of the day.
We conclude each visit to Hershey Park with the Carousel. It’s the oldest ride in the park, an American classic.
I call this teen angst. Earn those summer dollars buddy! It gets better.
Ice cream season!
Coney Island: Mermaid Parade
A spectacular day and turnout for the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island this year. We rode from The Bowery to Williamsburg to Coney Island and made it just in time to catch the Parade in full swing.
Unicorn, taking five.
Unicorn, back on the scene.
Happy merman!
I hadn’t been to Coney Island in a while, and I forgot how much I love the old school signs and awnings there. One of my instagram followers pointed out the ‘lollipop’ misspelling in the sign above. I can only imagine how many years it’s been like that.
