This Saturday marks the best day of the year to be a Kentuckian…The Kentucky Derby is upon us! And while, we unfortunately cannot make it this year, we will still be watching the Run for the Roses from over 6,000 miles away (albeit at 4AM).
Clearly the main focus at Churchill Downs this Saturday will be the paddock full of fine-looking thoroughbreds – but let us not forget the very close runner-up – Derby Day FASHION. The search for the perfect Derby Day chapeau takes weeks…well months really. But the fact that I won’t be there in person hasn’t stopped me from scouring the runways for ideas for the perfect Derby Hat. Among the many traditional options, I also found some rather outlandish looks for those wanting to make a statement.

I have wanted to take Fip to the Derby for the last two years but I’m pregnant and due in October and pregnancy has not gone easy on me. Get everything out of the way you want to do before you try to have a baby because morning sickness is more like all day for three months sickness!
