One week into my ownership of the house on Bellaire, and the kitchen has been ripped out, and the floors have started to come up (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can walk in and see the crawlspace tomorrow!!). As much as I've been looking forward to the much-needed renovation and remodel of ...
Bellaire
Years ago, after years of watching my dad purchase, renovate, and sell homes, I had the itch to begin such a hobby myself. When we stumbled upon the 4th Street mansion in 2009, it was as if Daddy and I had found the world’s greatest cookie jar…. 7,000 square feet of Victorian-era woodwork, 11’ ...
Benedictine
Benedictine…. Mention it to most people outside the Louisville area and chances are they’ll have no clue what you’re talking about. Here, though? We’re familiar with the rich, somewhat salty, somewhat sweet spread that makes even something as simple as a water cracker or a ...
My Mint Julep
As I type, it's 1am, and I'm propped up in bed in my NYC hotel, stuffed full of greasy, New York-style pizza and cheesecake. Not my typical Oaks night!! Still, I can't help but think that tomorrow (or today, if you're an early-Derby-eve-party-pooper-outer) is the Kentucky Derby! My ...
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 ...
Dinner at Gemini Chicago
If you've been following along on my Instagram or Facebook, you'll know that while the man and I were in Chicago last week, we managed to eat our way silly! From brunch at Hashbrowns and Siena Tavern, afternoon tea at The Allis at Soho House, to family dinner Friday night at Carmine's, we're ...
Chicago Eats
Each Chicago trip, we make a point to branch out a bit, try a few places we've never been before. We test fun cocktails, visit the buzzed-about new hot spot. We do, however, have our standard, go-to resturants and bars that just lend the feeling of being at home. We hit the road ...
Chocolate and Pistachio Tart
Easter seems to be one of those holidays where there's a bit of pressure put on the host. Its the first big gathering day of Spring, the first reminder of the tulips we planted last year, and the first opportunity to host a sweet dinner, to be thankful for your friends, to swoop out of the ...
