White Lace Flapper Dress, Jazz Age Lawn Party
While it’s true that Coco Chanel popularized the little black dress in 1926, it was more for evening than for a summer garden party. Kudos to everyone who figured out that white was the standard 1920s attire for a hot summer day – like this vintage lace flapper dress with a beaded hem. All white in the summertime is still a chic choice today.

1920s Hair and Makeup, Jazz Age Lawn Party
There were lots of great looks at this weekend’s Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island, but the best were ones that really took you back in time. Her hair and makeup – plus the fab vintage jewelry – looks like something out of a 1920s soda shop ad. If this were a melodrama from the era, she would be the beautiful hat check girl.

Tweed Jacket Embellished With Flowers, Outside Chloe
If, like me, you get stuck in a rut and keep wearing black and gray even though it’s spring, take a cue from this model off duty. She may be wearing a black cowl neck sweater and black lace skirt, but she tops it off with a colorful tweed jacket adorned with flowers. Making an effort!

Ruby Aldridge in Navy Blue, Outside Chloe
Is navy is the new black? That’s how things are shaping up for fashion muses like model Ruby Aldridge, who made her exit from the Chloe runway in a long-sleeved navy blue lace dress, artfully styled with a belt and sunglasses looped through.
Note that she has mixed navy with a black fringed bag, brown woven belt and white sunglasses, which looks much cooler and more relaxed than a navy blue outfit that’s all matchy-matchy.
