Colorblocking, Houston Street

Love the contrasting colors in this look: garnet red with cobalt blue finished off with lipstick in fuchsia.

Blazer and Shorts, Houston Street

Mixing work with play in an outfit that combines faded blue shorts and shirt with a sleek black blazer and lots of bracelets.

A red dress gets accessorized with a straw hat for a great spring to summer transitional look.

Military Green Dress and Hat, Central Park Conservancy

Love how this flattering “drab” green color has transcended military looks and become a new neutral, here in a beautifully tailored sheath dress and hat with a green satin bow. It’s especially smart when paired with red gloves and bag.

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.

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

Virginia Redfield

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. Traditionally, the outdoor luncheon calls for hats, a sartorial choice that seemed to be embraced with even more fervor this year on the heels of the royal wedding.

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

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.
