Hip Hop Hooray - Easter is on its way!

A vintage Hermès scarf inspired my Easter look this year. Its soft pastels are feminine and fresh but it's grounded by its geometric patterning and hunter green border.

I am pairing it with a simple RL button down and a coordinating green satin skirt and Chanel ballet flats (for church) and my favorite levis once we get home. I'll throw on a woven cuff bracelet & my drop pearl earrings from Virtue jewelers.

We are hosting friends for an egg hunt, followed by an early dinner and cocktails. With rain expected, there will be wellies and ponchos by the door, and something festive in hand to keep spirits high!

This is my go-to for any special brunch. It requires quite a bit of chopping, but the flavors are complex and it makes the house smell incredible. We’ll serve it alongside hors d’oeuvres like chilled shrimp cocktail,  a Jennifer Aniston salad  and a charcuterie board from Boarderie. 

For the main meal: baked ham (Phill’s department—I don’t eat meat), scalloped potatoes, and green beans.

For Easter dessert I'm whipping up a Carrot Cake, groundbreaking - I know.

I’ll pop Veuve in the morning & sip throughout the day (cue Biggie: “now we drink champagne when we thirst-ay”). It feels celebratory, a little fancy, and fun.

To keep things festive I am also preparing a Lavender Lillet Spritz  as a signature cocktail. I have yet to make it, but it feels perfectly aligned with the season - light, flowery and elegant in its simplicity. I'll do a kids version as well!
