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.

White Dress, Union Square
Loving the all-white look for summer 2011. The spectator shoes add a nice 1920s touch to this dress, and the artfully braided updo is perfect for hot weather.

Masculin Feminin, Union Square
Usually when people talk about the masculin-feminin look, they’re referencing le smoking, as seen on several guests at the 2011 CFDA Awards. But it can be dressed down too, as with this look of slouchy plaid trousers, a white buttondown with tuxedo ruffles, unisex afro and not a stitch of makeup. True personal style.

Colorful Hair, Outside Chloe
Fashion has been so centered on clothing, bags and shoes for the past few years that it was easy to forget that there’s a whole other part of oneself to dress up: one’s head! The parade of magnificent hats at the royal wedding was a great reminder of the fashion statement women can make beyond clothing. These colorful braided hairstyles on two women outside the Chloe show in Paris may not exactly be hats, but these plus the bright fuchsia and red lipstick have the same effect of refocusing the gaze. Best of all, unlike skirts, hats and colorful hairdos can be completely outrageous and still be socially acceptable.

Pixie Haircut and Plaid Scarf, Union Square, January
Call it the Michelle Williams/Emma Watson effect, but pixie haircuts are looking particularly fresh right now. Sheared locks are such a nice harbinger of spring when cotton dresses are still a distant dream.
