derby preview

hey loves

today is the kick off for derby (thunder)... which in louisville means three weeks of random festivities for this town to party up until the big day... May 7th.  unfortunately this year the weather is utterly nasty, so i have decided to sit  inside all day looking for a new car and job, along with painting my nail (most importantly) my new nail color; dont mess with opi. love it on my toes, not sure if i am convinced it is a hand color yet... anyone else try to rock a green nail polish on the hands outside of celebrating st. patrick's day?

any who - these are some photos that were taken for the local st. matthews newspaper, the voice tribune.  all three of my looks were outfitted by the fabulous dressing room boutique - which, as everyone already knows is a stable in my weekly life.  i love the dresses that the girls picked for the shoot because it gives you an idea of a couple of different vibes that you could go with - long flowing dress (which is my look this year), uber adorable fitted mini with a contemporary hat/fascinator or more of a cutesy dress with a traditional large hat (classic look of derby).  all three are amazing styles... anything can go as long as you dont forget you hat, heels and bourbon. 

what style/vibe are you channeling for the derby this year?
