The Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island bookends the New York City summer every year. Check out the fun we had putting the season to bed!

For the first day of the two day weekend event, gal pal Tatyana was good enough to lend me this incredible late 30s/early 40s vintage novelty print dress. I love it so much I’m having it made for me in more prints!

For day two, I wore my beloved gramophone print dress from Charlotte Taylor. It was such a big hit even Elle Magazine took notice!

With every exhausted step back to the ferry at the end of the day, Dave and I said our taciturn goodbyes to the summer. It was a magical whirlwind and all that jazz.
Looks like an amazing event and so much fun! Congrats on Elle featuring you.
