It's no secret that I love a good hat. Tall and feathered, cocked to one side, looking like a porcupine-covered weapon (a la' Derby last year), I love all hats. Sadly, though, it seems that wearing overly-wild track-style hats isn't appropriate for every day... meaning that if I wanted any wort of ...
For the Men: Cold Weather Gear
It seems winter is finally making an appearance here in the Bluegrass. We were fortunate to have several 60-plus degree days sprinkled in throughout the holidays, and- to be honest- yesterday here in Louisville topped out at 63, yet we woke up this morning to sub-freezing temperatures. It's this ...
Derby: 100 Days Out
Each year when Derby season ends and bets are cashed (or, losing bets are lamented over copious amounts of Bourbon), we awake that Sunday morning for the annual post-Derby day way-too-fancy-why-are-we-spending-this-much-money-on-brunch brunch, and I mourn the coming 300-some days until racing season ...
Winter is Here
A happy first day of Winter to you, sweet readers. Here in Louisville, it’s been a relatively chilly season so far, and with Christmas next week, I’m hoping for white, powdery snow everywhere.
To keep me warmer, but to avoid the inevitable giant, poofy Northface parka I have to break ...
Breeder’s Cup, 2018
After a long 7 years at Santa Anita Park, Keeneland, and Del Mar, the Breeder's Cup has returned to Louisville, bringing two days of racing to Churchill Downs.
Never one to miss an opportunity to visit Churchill, spend the day wagering with friends, or wear a hat, of course, B and I made plans to ...
Suit Up
Those of you who've been readers for a bit know that I'm a creature of habit when it comes to my wardrobe. Hand me a pair of black trousers and a blowy white blouse and I can conquer the world. Lately, though, I've loved having a more feminine way of feeling "buttoned up," bought myself a ...
The Guest Room
For the four years we've been in our home, the guest room has gone under a few transitions. First, outfitted with a desk and nightstands I bought from Target for my first apartment, then, when my mom moved in, with a giant recliner, a kitchenette, and her furniture from the farm. When she passed, ...
All Wrapped Up
We've established before that I'm a little timid when it comes to color in my wardrobe. Sure, I have the occasional funky blouse or bright Derby-season dress, but for the most part, I stay in my lane; neutral. Black, white, navy... It's comfortable, it's sharp. Never in need of statement ...
The Trench
Saturday, I had plans for my sweet photographer, Kyle, to come over and get a few shoots done (and share a whiskey sour or two). With temperatures here in Louisville that topped out at 74 on Thursday, you can imagine my surprise when Saturday morning, I looked up and out my front window to see ...
