Mint Julep Anyone?

Oh my heavens! I'm so nervous...

(horns sound off) 

And they're off...

To race for 2 minutes, on the first Saturday of May, where everyone sips on mint juleps all day, in fancy hats and dress like spring exploded all over themselves. 

The Kentucky Derby is most known for the annual hat parade. Kentucky is rich in southern history and hat's are the greatest expression of vintage southern style. Hats are known to bring good luck hence the reason for wearing them to "the best two minutes in sports."

So channel your inner Kate Middleton and dawn the most fabulous hat, cause it's the social event of the season. 

Cheers!!!!

Day to Night

When I know I have somewhere I need to go after work, my workday somehow seems to drag on and on and on. Am I the only one who gets this way?

I love my girls nights so much! The make me so happy. 

I really get into knowing what I will wear for them, how I will do my makeup and where we are going. Let's face it, when I go out, I go all out!

But knowing that I have to work beforehand really does kill the mood. So I try to wear my normal work wear to go to work but I pay more attention to the accessories that I can can change out to make for an even better outfit. 

During the day, I wear modest accessories and a blazer. The shoes are with a modest heel but they are still cute because of the pattern. 

(insert fireworks and dazzling music)

But at night the jacket goes flying. Get rid of the modest/professional shoe purse combo and exchange them for a pop of color. I love the blue and yellow together. (I refuse to wear blue and orange. So don't even go there) Then add a dramatic lipstick like a dark red or a bright pink when spring rolls around. 

Happy Monday!
