Preparation for the 2010 Central Park Conservancy "Hat" Lunch

On Wednesday, May 5, 2010, I'm off to Central Park Conservancy's 28th Annual Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon. Each year, I look forward to this date on the social calendar because it's always an afternoon filled with the beauty of the Conservatory Garden, the resonant sounds of strings and horns, and a vibrant show of finery.

After decorating my hat for the last couple of years' lunches, I decided to make a tradition of it. As the year passes, I'm always on the lookout for supplies for this special project.

For this year's hat, I used two birds from last year's hat.

Last Year's Hat (Side and Back View)


A flower from gift wrapping on a present from my parents, a branch of faux ivy from Gracious Home, and a butterfly from the wrapping on a jewelry store purchase rounded out the ingredients for this year's hat.

Two birds in the hand are worth less than two on a hat.

Supreme Shirt


If I were a boy, I would totally have to have this shirt. It's the coolest T in America.

Supreme, 274 Lafayette Street, is home to New York City's skate culture, and has been since 1994. A gang of New York skaters and artists are the store's staff, crew, and customers. Now there are shops in California, Hawaii, Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Australia, and Japan.

You don't have to be a skater to don this T.

Hits and Misses at Target


The Hits
Click Images for Details





These Jean Paul Gaultier for Target tops look even better not knotted at the side as they are shown here. Untied, they almost look like pinafores, and look totally SuperFab with a tiny T and leggings or jeans. Not only do these tops look great, but they feel great in 95% cotton and 5% spandex and 100% cotton, respectively.

for
Many Misses


So much polyester, I felt like I was getting a rash, and had to leave Liberty of London's women's section. The clutches, while potentially cute, were cheapened by the hardware. In the interest of full disclosure, I never made it to the home furnishing section so unfortunately, I can't comment on Liberty's items for the home. Hopefully, the quality of the materials is better there.

How you feel is as important as how you look.
