Easter Bunny and Parade in NYC 2010

Easter (2010) in NYC was unseasonably warm and beautiful.  Case in point, last Easter in NY, I wore a winter coat and gloves to see the Easter parade.  This year, I got to wear this springy outfit below.

One of my favorite Easter traditions in NY is to see the Easter bunny ice skate at Rockefeller Center and then to see the mad-hatters parade down 5th Ave.  This year did not disappoint.  Here’s all the colorful eye candy for those of you missed the fashions on 5th!

Dont’ these lovely ladies (I’m including the dog here) look elegant?

for more on vintage inspirations see my earlier entry 1 and 2

These women must have some serious superpowers being able to get their men to dress up with them

rainbow brite!

the 3 ladies on the left creatively made hats out of body exfoliators!

If you had to award a winner this year, who would you choose?  And is anyone else inspired to get a little more creative next Easter?
