Still fresh off my visit to the Belmont Stakes, I’m putting together a few easy-to-wear outfits for a day at the races or really any weekend occasion.  A colorful sundress and an easy-to-grab clutch are a no-brainer combo,  but it’s the interesting headgear that will really make your look stand out.  Go for a big floppy hat or if you’re feeling extra fancy, top your outfit with a darling little fascinator!

I’m still daydreaming about my recent trip to Louisiana, even though my body and my bank account are still paying for how much I ate, drank and shopped while down there.  One of my favorite finds included this bird print dress from a local boutique in New Orleans.  Just another piece to add to my collection of bright, whimsical prints, but this one will definitely stand out as a reminder of my amazing time down in the south.
