Wonder Wheel

The iconic Wonder Wheel in Coney Island celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it was unable to open this summer but Coney Island is still great a place to spend a sunny day with its historic boardwalk, beach and quirky vibe. I wore this fun terry cloth top that doubles as a towel when the urge to jump in the ocean comes along after warming up on the boardwalk . I absolutely love the embroidered flamingo and crocodile on this cabana shirt- it makes me smile every time I look down.

Coney Island

Coney Island is home of the famous 4th of July hot dog eating contest, mermaids and magic. Going to Coney Island not only makes you feel like a kid again, but it brings you back in time to old New York. A classic seaside amusement park, it’s incredible how so many things seems unchanged from decades ago. It’s a true gem and worth a day trip on a beautiful spring day. The day is not complete without trying a Nathan’s original hot dog, which must be eaten at the iconic venue at the corner of Surf and Stillwell. This is the only one that serves the original hot dog which tastes much better than the ones served inside in the park.

For my Coney Island adventure, I wore a breezy and bright mini dress. The pattern and color are unique and I absolutely adore the puff sleeves. The pocket pouch that you can tie around the waist is not only practical but fun. I love all the Rhode Resort dresses for summer, but I think this one is my favorite.
