Talk Derby To Me

Carly, Hallie, Mackenzie, and I met up at the Waldorf for the most festive little lunch with Vineyard Vines last week! The theme? Ladies who drink bourbon at lunch. Or rather, ladies who lunch meet the Kentucky Derby. 😉

We were decked out in our favorite Kentucky Derby pieces from Vineyard Vines. Vineyard Vines is the official style of the Kentucky Derby and their 2014 collection is amazing! While heading to the Derby is definitely a Bucket List trip for me to take someday, this year I will just be in New York City watching with a Mint Julep in hand.

If you’re attending a Kentucky Derby party this year, Vineyard Vines has the cutest dresses, skirts, and tops! Or if you’re going for a more casual vibe, there are plenty of hats, totes, and scarves that are just as preppy and fun. Thursday is the last day to order to guarantee arrival before the Derby so make sure to get your order in sooner rather than later! If you want a little history about women’s Derby fashion, check this out. Oh, and if you are in need of a few mint julep cups before the big day, Mackenzie has them in her store!

In love with this hat, this scarf, this bow headband, this top, and this scarf!

    This is the sweetest outfit combination ever! Love the preppy vibe and especially the big, floppy hats! The Kentucky Derby is most certainly on my bucket list too, but sadly I`ll be watching at home on TV as well.

    when you’re ready to cross Derby off your bucket list – you better call me!
    Derby is, hands down, my favorite day of the year. Seriously, once you go – you’ll want to come every year.

    10 days!
