86°F9:40 PM Historic Haute: Jane Austen Society hosts Regency fashion show at Locust Grove [Books]
The perfect sashay. The steady fierce gaze of a tall, young glamazon striding the catwalk before the raised brows of the fashion elite. Many a stylista (or stylisto, gentlemen) feel a deep, primordial hunger for the marriage of art and function (but mostly just art) that is the high fashion industry. Summer suns beckon for this year’s favored trends – raffia fedoras, peek-a-boo cutouts and bold color combinations. Wardrobes and wallets are primed for indulgence. But are you close enough to the edge of fashion to rock a Regency frock? Trav

138th KY Derby Red Carpet Recap [Chic Geek]
Derby red carpet 138 did not disappoint! I saw fashions that made me realize some of the people that attend this event have no idea where they are going. The "celebrity" line-up was a little more fun this year for me. Loved seeing Coco. I think she was wearing her version of what you wear to a polo match. I saw way too many casual looks....even jeans. The Derby for me, as a lover of fashion, is where you don't do your everyday look. Respect the grandeur of the
The Art of Derby Night: From Gilded to Gay [Chic Geek]
One of the aspects I love the most about our fine city Louisville is its amazing diversity. Derby night parties were a perfect example of this fact. In one night I could attend an event at one of oldest social clubs, a hip boutique hotel, and a very historic venue hosting a gay party! All Louisvillians should be proud to live in a community that is supportive of the “real” collective world.
Derby Eve Festivities [Chic Geek]
With so many fabulous Derby eve events to attend, a fashionista has to make some tough choices. This year I decided to attend the 24th Annual Barnstable Brown Gala and the first Unbrideled Eve party. Both events were star studded and full of fashion finds and crimes. I’d have to say from a collective sum Barnstable Brown Gala had some of the best dressed guests however both events were a fabulous way to spend the night before Derby.

Taste of Derby [Chic Geek]
The third annual Taste of Derby event titled "The Perfect Derby Appetizer" was just that! Beautifully produced by Wayne Kostroski, founder of the "Taste of the NFL", it was held at the Louisville Executive Aviation Hangar at Bowman Field which was a stunning backdrop for the world-renowned chefs to prepare their innovative dishes. The featured top chefs came to Louisville from very prestigious restaurants from all over the US along with one who traveled all the way from Dubai!
