  1. I love the shoes the lady is wearing in the first pic - just what I need for London spring/summer as someone who is short but has no tolerance for 'proper' heels!

  3. Anna, those are TOMS wedges in the Sartorialist photo. They are ridiculously comfy--I have three pairs now! Jo, they would be a great option for chasing Toby around NYC. And I don't think that Oscar or Owen are likely to be wearing them ;)

  4. Hooray for the first day of spring and for shorts and sandals and bike rides and blooming flowers and trees. I SO love this time of year.

    But no hooray for our baby who seems content to keep chillin' in my belly at almost 41 weeks pregnant. Doesn't she know just how glorious it is this time of year?

    Be BORN already, spring chicken! :-)

  18. Love that vintage bikes are such the fad! Love seeing everyone gettin out and about. Such a shame that in Australia we have to ruin the look with ugly helmets...but then again, protected noggin is a win!

  24. Happy first day of Spring Joanna.. I look at these pictures and laugh at myself for just turning thirty and still not knowing how to ride a bike. I try to chalk it up to being a city kid but it's really no excuse. Your family snaps on the bike and these images give me hope.. Lol.
    Dont forget to celebrate Macaron NYC day (first taste for me & my boys).. We plan to stroll through Bryant park
