Jazz Age Lawn Party
This weekend, Alex, Toby and I took the ferry over to the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor's Island.
A jazz band played old-timey tunes, and there was a tug-of-war, pie contest and Charleston lessons.
People dressed up in fabulous 1920's ensembles--lots of pearls, suspenders and straw hats. (I, of course, wore a nursing shirt:)
Toby mingled with the dapper crowd.
And this girl wore the most fabulous swimsuit (which she had made herself). Yowza!
It was a wonderful day! See more photos here. xoxo

That's such an adorable party! Toby looks like he had a good time ;)
Gosh don't I wish I was born as a flapper! The dresses are just to die for!
Becca
That looks like so much fun. I do love the jazz age. I am very admiring of the brave girl in the 1920s swimsuit – really going with the outrageous spirit of the age! x
It looks like so much fun!
And I think the people from 'Hither & Thither' was there as well, or at least something similar, just read their post about it earlier today :)
Oooh, I wish I went! I have never been to a theme party in my life. Did anyone dress their kids in historical gear?
so cool that you went. I saw some photos on The Sartorialist a few years back and it always looks like a great time. Toby steals the show though.
Siubhan, i know! she was so brave -- and smoking! :)
Ohhh..what fun! Hope you had a fabulous anniversary too:)

Wow! I want to go!!!!

I especially love that little black number in the second to last photo - yowza!
That looks like SO much fun!!!
Toby is SO beautiful! Those eyes are amazing! So much personality already.
What a fun party!! And everyone was dressed so well for the event!
The lawn party is on my list of life want-to's!! Look like such a good time!!
And Toby is adorable as usual! :)
That swimsuit is to die for! Love!
Looks like so much fun!

this looks SO fun! that bathing suit is knocked-out!
Oooooh, I went to Jazzfest too! It was loads of fun! I'm actually planning to write about it and post pictures next week.
I think I remember seeing a few people in your photographs...hmmm.
P.S. Toby is a cutie.
Fun!!
These photos are amazing!!! That should be such a nice day!!! Your baby is beautiful... and that girl with the swimsuit... oh boy, i wish for those legs every day! :) :) Have a sweet day, Twiggs
what a fun event! and yowza is right... that swimsuit is fab!
omg. i love this!
Man, wearing the nursing is always such a drag, isn't it? I wouldn't change a thing, but I cannot wait until I can go out in the world in non-nursing appropriate clothes again.
Next year you will be perfectly dressed for the lawn party, of course.
amazing photos!!!
I look at pictures of this every year, and every year I think how wonderful it would be to go NY whilst it's on - looks like so much fun.
Wow - that is all so beautiful! It looks so fun and summer-ish.
Definitely dressing up next year--I don't have a good excuse (like nursing)! Sorry we missed you guys!
omg! i just saw some pictures on facebook of a friend of mine who recently moved to brooklyn and went to the same party :) how cool!
oh no! I can't believe I missed it!
Looks like so much fun!
Oh, this is just so wonderful. Thank you for showing us. Sending love to you wonderful, darling, smart ladybug.
how fun...such a great family activity!
what a fantastic looking party...and toby just fits right in! :) i love how perfectly dressed everyone is...looks fabulous!
I'm just bummed there is not another one again until next summer! You got some great shots as well Joanna!
Toby is such an angel! He has the sweetest little round face. I know you two are so smitten by him!
Oh how lovely you all look. You have a beautiful family.
Oh my! Toby seriously gets cuter by the minute (not surprising, superior A+ DNA).
and the girl in the last picture is a goddess. wow...next life i would like that bod! lol
Wowie! Toby looks so big for 3 months! I love that all his little hair is coming in.
We have friends whose home was a speakeasy during prohibition, and every year on (or around) Dec. 5, the day prohibition was repealed, they have a speakeasy party. Everyone is given a password and a secret knock for entry. Most people dress in their best 20s/30s garb. And yes, they do keep the cold gin in the bathtub.
Hey, Joanna. Don't forget (soon) to set up a way for Toby to listen to audiobook of Gatsby. Can never start too soon! (You want to make sure he never ever goes for "a Daisy.")

Jealous! That looks so fun.
Great pictures! That looks like so much fun too!

Oh, I'm so jealous:-) I see pictures from this every year. I must go one day. Looks like so much fun!
Aw Joanna, this could be one of my favorite posts of all time - such beautiful photos full of love and laughter. Toby looks super cute and cool!
Toby really looks like his dad! Looks like loads of fun. :)
call me crazy but i would love a post about your nursing shirts or nursing wardrobe. i am guessing you will have some good options i haven't discovered before!
Absolutely adorable!
Toby is getting so big! And cuter and cuter by the second!
Looks like a lovely time!
:)

What an interesting event! I have never been to a Jazz thing where the people dress up. That baby has gorgeous eyes!
so jealous! I've been wanting to go for years. Looks like Toby was the hit of the event!
Your little Toby is absolutely gorgeous! What a chilled out little man.
Love that swimsuit too x
I passed you on 7th Ave yesterday. I got so nervous and my heart raced a little bit. You were tied up with groceries and Toby on your stomach or else I would have star-struckingly (a word?) introduced myself. Hope to run into you again one day :)
A huge admirer,
Lindsay
joanna,
i remember seeing photos of these from before (maybe last year)
looks like a lot of fun.
one of those perks from living in such a cultural city i guess

I was there Saturday - I would have loved to see you! Rock the Bells was happening at the same time, so it was funny to hear an MC rapping in the background with the old timey music nearby.
Sounds like a fantastic fun time... great photos too...!
Wow, wowzer, wowee. Just love this whole thang. So want one of those parties for myself. Or to get invited to one! Sigh
What a fun idea! Super cuuuute photos, too... How fun this would be to scrapbook... :)
Sounds like it was ridiculously fun. I'm sure the outfits were awesome, but honestly I only noticed that beautiful Toby.
xoxo,
Allegra
what a wonderful idea for a party!
That bathing suit is gorgeous!
And Toby just gets cuter and cuter!
woah! jealousy doesn't even describe it.
Wow this is awesome!!
The costumes are perfect!
those are some fantastic costumes! and Toby is as adorable as ever! what a popular little dude! :)
I LOVE that girl's swim suit...actually I love her whole look all together! What a fun looking party!
So fun! Great costumes, who runs this event? Is it for charity?
Looks like such a wonderful time. And that bikini is so va va voom, I love it!
Toby's getting so BIG! I love that girl's swimsuit and your friend's black flapper dress :)
that looks like so much fun!!! and why do all new yorkers have such fabulous legs?
This looks too glamorous for words. Toby is going to be so cultured!
Love the last shot swimsuit shot. Classic.
Your baby boy is so adorable, and with you two as parents I have a feeling he is going to grow into a dapper and handsome man.
Toby is growing and changing soo much! he looks so different every time you update with new pictures! He's adorable :-)
oh this sounds like SO much fun! I love that last girl's swimsuit!
The last girl in the swimsuit reminds me so much of Maggie Gyllenhaal...i actually thought it was her!
Oh my God! It looks like an amazing party! I bet you had loads of fun. I am longing for something like this too. And the pics are awesome! You all look so cute :)
the outfits are breathtaking, sooooo cool!!! i need those dresses, pearls and headbands!
