Can you believe it’s Easter already? Baskets and bunnies, bonnets and pastels, Crème Eggs and Peeps are upon us. While most of us might be well past our days of fluffy artificial candy and frilly hats, a couple themes throughout the years: the zeal over a new dress and treasures to wear with it. I’m as excited to wear my brand-new spring dress this Sunday as I was when I collected the most painted eggs in my basket as a tot – and that is the true sign of the holiday snob. Though her spirit might be childlike, the Easter Sunday Snob’s style is highly evolved – and highly enthusiastic.
Don’t go for Easter egg pastels. A sleek and subversively cut dress – part tank, part fluid draping – in a punchy shade of yellow looks like spring sunshine.Ali Ro Silk Asymmetrical Dress. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $250.
Espadrilles look edgy when melded with soft snake-print, and a rope-covered slingback wedge is a prime daytime occasion choice. You won’t scare the little ones with your spiked out heels – and you won’t get stuck in the grass. Jimmy Choo “Polar” Snake-Print Leather Espadrilles. On Net-a-Porter for $395.
Basket-schmasket! The real egg hunt winner gets to tote a luxe white bag. Valextra in grained leather is the pinnacle of Easter Sunday Snob luxury. Valextra “Babila” Tote. At Barneys New York for $2,240.
A daytime-decadent bracelet that is vaguely reminiscent of water-colored eggs. Big moonstone stations framed in 18-karat gold are the pink clouds to your sunny frock. Pippa Small Moonstone Bracelet. At Barneys New York for $2,575.
I love this whole look. I must have that dress! Fabulous!
