Eric Javits Hats, Central Park Conservancy
Love this look in vivid greens and blues on this pair at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon. The straw hats are both Eric Javits.
Cream Colored Suit and Hat, Central Park Conservancy
The few men who attended the Central Park Conservancy luncheon last week dressed the part, like this guest in a beautiful cream colored suit and hat with a pale pink tie and pink pocket square. He’s carrying his dress shoes in that plastic bag – a practical choice on a rainy day.
All Black, Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
No matter what the season, occasion or current fashion, New Yorkers will wear black. It still confers instant elegance on the wearer, as with this guest at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon last week, in black from head to toe.
Slideshow: Best Hats, Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
We may not have a royal wedding here in New York, but we do have the this ladies luncheon in Central Park, which brings out hundreds of women in elaborate hats every year. Here are some of the best.
Fe Fendi at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
Fe Fendi arrived at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon in a bright red silk dress with laser cut scalloped ruffles, matching umbrella and red flower fascinator. It was a beautiful splash of color in the rain.
Sandra Lee at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
New York’s new first lady of sorts, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s girlfriend Sandra Lee, exited a limo wearing white and a towering hat in the shape of huge pale flower. Though controversial in the food world, she’s quite a hit fashion wise. Full shot after the jump. (more…)
Lady in Yellow, Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
The weather may not have been cooperating, but that didn’t stop hundreds of fashionable ladies from attending the annual Central Park Conservancy Luncheon this morning.

Most New Yorkers would be tempted to put on all black clothing in dreary weather, but not here. The women arrived in colorful suits and dresses, like this lady in a bright yellow suit, green bag and umbrella and a headpiece of flowers and red, gold and green ribbon.
Addendum: She is Central Park supporter Virginia Redfield
One Day Without Shoes
If you know TOMS shoes, the espadrilles that are popping up on fashionable feet everywhere, you probably know that for every pair sold, the company donates a pair to a child in need. To further raise awareness of the millions of children in developing nations who are at risk of infection and disease because they don’t have shoes, TOMS started an initiative of volunteer walks in cities all over the world, One Day Without Shoes.

Street Chic: Oceana Benefit
The glamour quotient was high at Monday night’s party for Oceana, hosted by Alexander and Brenda von Schweickhardt at their beautiful Upper East Side apartment. Founded in 2001, Oceana is a nonprofit international advocacy organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. Sam Waterston, Denise Rich, the Hilfigers, Mick Jones and many more came to show their support.
Two models dressed as mermaids set the scene, lounging on a window ledge off the apartment’s winding staircase. (more…)
