GUEST FASHION EDITOR: PATTI CORCORAN

Former owner of El Greco Cafe, with her father, George Soublis, for 17 years, Patti Corcoran never dressed casually — and she still loves being dressed up in a sexy dress and high heels. This mother of two is never seen without a pair of sunglasses on her head and a strand of pearls.

Patti Corcoran:

LAZARO DRESS
LAZARO DRESS "This is the dress that I wore to my engagement party, and I loved it so much that I had the same designer design my wedding gown. After my husband and I got married, I also wore it to the next UnGala, which was fun - I felt like a princ...
VINTAGE PURSE
VINTAGE PURSE "A good friend's mom gave this to me. It had been her mom's, so it has to be at least 100 years old. This is my go-to purse in the evenings, and I carried it for my wedding."
BCBG DRESS
BCBG DRESS "This is my church or visiting family dress. It always reminds me of Audrey Hepburn."
BCBG DRESS
BCBG DRESS "I wore this to my 40th birthday party to remind myself that I can still be sassy."
ST. JOHN WRAP
ST. JOHN WRAP "This is one of my favorite wraps. I'm always cold, so I always have this on or with me at night."
PASAMETES DRESS
PASAMETES DRESS "I love the color of this dress, and it's only one of two purple pieces I own. I love that it's sexy and trendy, too."
BURBERRY TRACKSUIT
BURBERRY TRACKSUIT "This my favorite everyday outfit â€" it's my 'drive my kids to school/run into Target' outfit."
BCBG DRESS
BCBG DRESS "I bought this for my husband's birthday. Because I usually wear black, this white dress was so fresh. I'm Greek, and it reminded me of a toga."
PUCCI SCARF
PUCCI SCARF "I'm obsessed with scarves - I'll wear them as a belt or loosely around my neck."
ST. JOHN PURSE
ST. JOHN PURSE "I always have this little purse with me. It doesn't hold anything but money and an I.D., but I love it more than anything."
SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SHOES
SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SHOES "My sister gave these to me; they are my 'so-not-me' fun shoes. The higher the better with my heels."
STUART WEITZMAN BOOTS
STUART WEITZMAN BOOTS "This is my version of casual. I wear these all the time October through April. If I'm ever in pants, these are my shoes."
