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.
Red Dress, Houston Street
A red dress gets accessorized with a straw hat for a great spring to summer transitional look.
Mother Daughter Duo, Central Park Conservancy
Two great looks on a mother-daughter duo at the Central Park Conservancy luncheon.
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.
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.
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.
Alessandra Bush at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
Alessandra Bush arrived at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon looking chic in classic black and white, including a sheer black hat adorned with feathers and rosettes, a black feather skirt and pearls.
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. 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.
