It's no secret that I've recently become involved at Louisville's Speed Art Museum. The museum, founded in 1925 (by a woman, no less- Hattie Bishop Speed), closed it's doors in 2012 for a major, $50 Million expansion and renovation, opening back to the public just two years ago with a party that ...
A Derby Weekend Recap
Every May, it seems as if Derby weekend both lasts for a month and passes by in a heartbeat. Missing last year was enough for me to forget how much more alive our city becomes in just the few days prior. Despite the cleaning of our streets, the KDF Marathon, the balloon race, and Thunder Over ...
Sorry I’m Away…
Sweet friends, my sincerest apologies for the lack of a "real" post today, but Derby weekend is upon us here in Louisville, and your girl's feet hurt and her purse is empty, but her tank is full. We are rallying, grabbing a big breakfast, and partying on!

Derby Essentials
Once upon a time, the Kentucky Derby was a one-day event. Those who owned horses, who trained them and who loved them flocked to Churchill for the first Saturday in May, then dispersed. Over the years, as the Derby grew in popularity, it was the Kentucky Oaks, the day before, that began ...
It’s That Time of Year
This time of year, like every typical Louisville female, my mind is on my wardrobe. From girly dresses to bright and feathered hats, I wake up daily feeling like I want to make a giant, hat-topped entrance when entering a room.
Louisvlle- and Lexington, too, truly- offer so many events in the ...
Cheers!
I always have a bottle of Champagne in the fridge. This is due partly to never knowing when a girlfriend will pop in and announce her engagement, or surprising myself with new client, but mostly, it's because of this sweet reminder:
