Black and White Polka Dots, Fifth Avenue

Keep an eye out for polka dots this fall, when the nautical stripes have been stowed away. They were a hit on the Marc Jacobs fall 2011 runway, often mixed in various sizes as seen here on Fifth Avenue.

White Overcoat in the Rain, Fifth Avenue

I always find it difficult to figure out what to wear on rainy summer days. This white cotton overcoat was a practical, lightweight and pretty solution at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon. The earrings are Chanel.

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.

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.

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
