Blush Handkerchief Dress for Kentucky Oaks Day

Oaks Day is the day before the Derby and everyone is encouraged to wear pink!  Breast cancer survivors are honored and a portion of proceeds from the day goes towards breast cancer research and awareness charities. Knowing this, I picked a blush dress that would be perfect for Oaks Day and brunch with friends.

One Stop Shop to Get Ready for Kentucky Derby Festival

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Kentucky Derby Festival Fashion Show as a guest of Macy’s. Macy’s is the official sponsor of the event and really shows off the fact that they’re Louisville’s one stop shop for getting Derby ready. Keep reading for more of the process of picking out this look with help from Macy’s, my thoughts on the fashion show, and how I’d style this dress for Derby Day.

Event Recap: World of Vera Bradley at Macy’s

Last weekend I hosted a World of Vera Bradley launch party at Macy’s Tuttle Crossing in Columbus, Ohio.  There are nine Macy’s locations throughout the country that have these mini Vera Bradley shops set up within the handbag department; Lexington friends, Fayette is one of the locations!  There are a ton of great new offerings this season so I wanted to share some of those as well as what a World of Vera Bradley looks like with you all today.

World of Vera Bradley at Macy's
featured: leather duffle + plaid tote + scottie dog scarf
How dreamy is that duffel? I love that it has the classic shape that I associate with Vera Bradley’s signature travel pieces but is more structured since it’s constructed out of the high quality leather the company has added to its line.  The new plaid print is absolutely gorgeous {styled a bag in the print in this post} and reminds me so much of the well known Burberry plaid.

Event Recap: World of Vera Bradley at Macy's
featured: puffin sweater + navy buffalo check vest + abalone stone necklace {on gold chain} + vera bradley: sagebrush satchel c/o + matte lipstick + foundation + eyebrows + nail polish
For our launch party, we had a DJ as well as a fun photo booth station where everyone could share the reasons that they love to be a girl.  Columbus is about a three hour drive from Louisville so while I didn’t have time to explore the whole city, I did do my research beforehand and picked out a donut shop to stop at to celebrate National Donut Day.

Derby Days: Macy’s Blogger Event

I was lucky enough to co-host a Kentucky Derby style event at Macy’s last weekend and had such a blast. It’s always a huge compliment when a brand you love reaches out to you, but I felt allllllll the feels when I first got asked about this event.  Like so many people, I’ve grown up going in and out of Macy’s stores everywhere as well as watching their parade on Thanksgiving mornings.  So it was kind of a pinch me moment when they were like, “hey, we’d love to have you at our event!”

I headed to Macy’s at Oxmoor Center the Wednesday before my event and picked out a few Derby outfits for myself and for my model and then arrived a little {okay…a lot} early on the day of the event to set up my little boutique area and make some final picks.

Oh and great news, Macy’s is hosting Friends and Family right now! Take 25% off in stores and online {plus free shipping starting at $25!} just use code FRIEND // Louisville friends, if you don’t have a Derby hat or fascinator this is a great time to check out Macy’s selection!
