We've talked about just how crucial a good playlist can be for exploring a new city, and this past Saturday, when the temps creeped into the 80s, I celebrated with a few new-to-me tracks, perfect for traipsing around the neighborhood to. The sun was peeking through cherry blossoms trees, people were out and finding any and every excuse to smile at each other and I grabbed a late (and boozy) brunch with a group of close girlfriends, lingering perhaps a bit too long out on the patio. All in all, just the afternoon you want to bottle up and put on a shelf to savor later.

I like to think this little playlist captures just that -- an afternoon that you don't want to end. (Side note: apparently the latest version of Spotify doesn't let you grab the embed code anymore. Does anyone know a workaround?)

On another side note, for my New Yorkers, if you're free this Thursday, join me at Saks where I'll be celebrating with Vogue for Viktor & Rolfe's BonBon fragrance anniversary. Party kicks off at 6 and lasts until 8. Hope to see you there!
