64°F12:25 PM 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 Fashion Trash and Treasures [Chic Geek]
I have been wearing my manicure down to bring all of you our fashion "finds" from all the Derby events. As I have no shortage for words or an opinion on fashion and style, I will be uploading more blogs throughout tomorrow. Including my red carpet disasters and my very up close and personal "experience" with the diva (and not in a good way) herself...My sweetheart Star Jones!

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!

Bacon + Fashion = Hog Heaven for Chic Geek [Chic Geek]
The historic Water Tower alongside the Ohio River set the stage for this fun and fashionable event. Not only was there a fantastic array of bacon-infused foods, the fashion trends were just as varied and interesting. I was surrounded by so many types of good style, it made the Bacon Ball one of the most fashionable crowds thus far. Ranging from vintage hipsters, Coachella inspired looks, modern preps, and our standard few fashion victims (bad style happens to good people) there was a buffet of fashion in addition to food.
Downs After Dark [Chic Geek]
Despite the wind, rain, and yes HAIL opening night of races at Churchill Downs was covered like an active anthill with a HUGE variety of ants with “style”. From Millionaire’s Row to the Paddock area, guests of the event showed their sense of style in ways I for once, don’t have words to describe. Ladies, please know that you dress for your size, not the size you would like to be.
