Derby: 100 Days Out

This year, at Derby, we have an issue. A big issue. My beloved ladies at The Hat Girls have relocated… and they’re only a few blocks away from my house instead of on the other side of town. This is dangerous for my bank account.

I realize I just said that I needed nothing as a resolve this year, but friends, we’re only 100 days away from the best holiday around!

Last year, the girls posted the beauty above on their Instagram account, and I fell in love. I do try to keep things mixed up year to year; Large, traditional hat to funky little fascinator. Last year, the funky fascinator reigned. This year, I may need something wide-brimmed and shady.

Our plans this year will mirror last- we loved having our cousin Jeff in town. A mess of friends in a dining room at Thurby and a tour of Bourbon Country on Friday before an all-day bet-a-thon on Derby Day. I’m looking forward to the Board of Realtors Day at the track (off shoulder black dress and a black and white fascinator?), the Woman’s Council of Realtors fashion show… I can’t wait for the festivities to begin!

As always, if you’re into looking for a topper for yourself, be sure to check out The Hat Girls website and instagram for inspiration and a variety of toppers for purchase. Support a local business, and get ready for the season!

Maybe it’s due to an overactive mind, a desire to feel like I’m influencing someone, or perhaps, it’s simply that I need to talk.

Back home after a week and a half in Paradise/Palm Back home after a week and a half in Paradise/Palm Springs… walked off the airplane to some Fall weather, these hydrangeas showing off, and the promise that we’ll have curtains in here by year end.

Ok…. That last part may have been a promise to myself, but still.
