Outfit Planning: Derby Style

April 29, 2014

Derby season is here! Last year, I went to the Belmont Stakes (one of the three Triple Crown races) and I couldn’t help but fall in love with the derby culture. It’s not so much about the horse racing as it is about getting gussied up in a feminine dress and an over the top hat and making an entire day out of a two-minute race. It’s equal parts pageantry and shenanigans. So whether you’re going to the Derby this season or are looking for the perfect spring outfit, I’ve got a few fabulous looks for you!

Maxed Out

April 28, 2014

Hot off the trail of my spring maxi dress roundup, I was super excited to don the newest maxi in what will surely be a growing collection. So excited in fact, that I apparently couldn’t wait to hem the dress before I wore it.

A much needed trip to the tailor aside, I actually feel taller in a maxi dress. A soft, solid color elongates the body and a easy flowing fabric enhances that no muss, no fuss look that I’ve been loving lately. Just excuse the pool of fabric around my feet and pretend that it adds to the romance of the look.

Chartreuse City

April 17, 2014

When I booked my ticket to TX to visit my BFF Emily, she told me to pack my cowboy boots. Well my friends, this is probably as close as it gets. Skinny jeans and ankle boots — I know it’s far from rodeo material, but it was perfect for grabbing coffee and wandering the Riverwalk in San Antonio on a Sunday morning. Consider it my city twist with a splash of country inspiration.
