So the Kentucky Derby was this weekend... pretty much a reason for me to wear a pretty dress and a big hat... and another event crossed off my to do list!
Friends of mine had a party... it was a hit!
Mint juleps, cucumber sandwiches, big hats, blazers, dresses, cigars, and sangria.
Gentleman and a jockey.
beautiful ladies.

the hostess with the mostest... and her tulips.
beautiful hats.

me and my love... our attempt at taking a self portrait.
