In the Crowd, 2011 CFDA Awards
Anytime there was a dull moment on the CFDA Awards red carpet (which was rarely), we turned around to scan the crowd of non celeb guests. Often they were just as well dressed, like this guy in an expertly styled preppy look. The bow tie, windowpane plaid shirt and khaki blazer with pocket square are perfect for a formal-ish summer event.

Short Shorts, Madison Avenue
If you’ve got legs, now’s the time to show them off with short shorts, a big hit for S/S 2011. Also of-the-moment: tie-front shirts, like this one in denim.

Floral Dress, Union Square
Fashion has gotten decidedly more feminine this season, with last summer’s boyfriend jeans and racer back tanks giving way to maxi skirts and dresses and lots of floral prints. Above, shopping in Union Square in a flirty, feminine dress paired with flat metallic sandals.

Summer Layers, Outside the Parsons Fashion Show
This struck me as the perfect outfit for summer travel: a lightweight white tunic top with chunky necklace over a colorful pink minidress (which could be its own outfit on another day/night). The stacked heel sandals balance it all out – and you can walk in them.

70s Jeans and PS1 Bag, Parsons Fashion Show
This outfit looks so sleek and classic you could almost forget it includes one of the trendier items of spring 2011, 70s wide legged, high-waisted jeans. In fact this is a great way to wear them: with design standards like Ray Ban Wayfarers, a white silk blouse and that other new classic: the Proenza Schouler PS1 bag in caramel leather.

Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes on Stephanie LaCava
I received a press release about Miranda Kerr’s fabulous shoes at the Met Costume Gala this morning and recognized them from Paris fashion week, where they also appeared on the feet of style star Stephanie LaCava in the black version. Here they are, by Nicholas Kirkwood – totally lust-worthy. Full shot of Ms. LaCava after the jump. (more…)

Striped Maxi Dress, The Bowery
Longer hemlines are definitely not translating into dowdier looks for this season. Jersey maxi dresses are one popular interpretation of longer hemlines for a sporty, sexy daytime outfit. Love how she’s mixed this striped maxi dress with bright accessories: a yellow bag and red belt.

Vintage 70s Jeans, NoLita
Love the highwaisted jeans on this model off duty in NoLita. She told me they’re vintage from the 70s. Highwaisted jeans can be hard to pull off, but they’re really cute paired with a black sheer top, long sweater and yellow bag – detail shot after the jump. (more…)

Khaki Dress and Cat Eye Glasses, Prince Street
Such a cool look on this woman outside Olive’s in Soho. A khaki dress gets some edge from the black leather piping and laces, and the cat eye sunglasses and red lipstick compliment the late ’60s style pixie haircut. On her feet, one of the new trends I appreciate the most: flats.

Navy Romper With Belt, Prince Street
Anyone willing to bare her legs in yesterday’s 80-degree weather brought out the shorts, especially rompers. This model-esque woman in NoLita sported a navy blue short shorts romper with a wide caramel-colored belt, black sandals and cross-body bag, perfectly mixed and accessorized.

Blush Jacket, Outside Louis Vuitton
Loved this gorgeous blush pink jacket outside the Louis Vuitton show. It’s the perfect color for this spring – and the sunglasses are just right.

Julia Frakes at Oscar de la Renta
Love the real life “Gossip Girl” style of Julia Frakes in a prep school blazer with a white cotton dress and tights at the Oscar de la Renta show. According to her tumblr blog Julia Bunny (formerly Bunny Bisous), the dress, tights, and shoes are Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, the blazer is Topshop with a vintage pin, the sunglasses are Karen Walker.
Here’s another photo of her in a great outfit at last season’s Oscar show.

Khaki and Orange, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Orange is popping up everywhere in spring fashion. This jolt of color is surprisingly versatile when you pair it with neutrals like khaki.

Caroline Issa at Viktor & Rolf
Speaking of pointy collars, fashion editor Caroline Issa of Tank Magazine also wore a pointy-collared shirt to the Viktor & Rolf show. Even if an exquisitely embroidered blouse like this one is not in the cards for you, a plain white collared shirt will also do the trick. Also, love the mirrored sunglasses and pink lipstick! Full length view including shoes after the jump. (more…)

Spring Color in Cold Weather, Outside Chloe
Yes, it is annoying that the cold continues even when it should be spring. But wearing a black parka in March makes the weather more depressing for us all. Here’s a great example of how to stay warm and look springlike: lighten up the colors and layer them. Outside the Chloe show, this woman expertly mixed texture and pattern in a light palette of blues and beiges. Also, note the pointy collar peeking out over a sweater – a detail being adopted by a few super chic ladies right now.
