Kentucky Derby Festival Fashion with Macy’s

Macy’s Presents the Spring Fashion Show

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Macy’s this Derby for as an “influencer” for their KDF Fashion Show collaboration. Whilst I found the most amazing jumpsuit, earrings, and wrist candy, I couldn’t find the right fascinator for me. I don’t prefer to wear a hat so the fascinator was the next best fit. I brought back a fascinator from another year (2015 to be exact) and rocked the one made by my friend Britni Knable of Head Candi + House of K.

I think it turned out beautifully.

The Macy’s Spring Fashion Show is Kentuckiana’s premiere fashion showcase of the year. The Fashion Show features a runway of the latest in Derby and spring outfits and accessories by fashion brands and local boutiques.

I captured many photographs and had a very fun night with my great friend, Ashlea Spears of The Blush Influence.

Thanks for having us, Macy’s! I hope to do it again next year!

Kentucky Derby and Bourbon Party Planning

Preparing for the bourbon tasting at home tomorrow with sweet and savory items from Green Bean Delivery, Capital Bee Company, and Willett Bourbon. Completely inspired by the lovely folks at Southern Living Magazine with my dearest friend and photog, Anna May! Since my husband is quite the bourbon guy these days, I didn't "ruin" the bourbon with a lot of simple syrup and mint... just added a little of both. I "smacked" the mint before garnishing a cocktail because it releases that lovely minty ...

Great Happens with Maria Pollard

"We are designed for accomplishments. Engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness." - Zig Ziglar It's often our destiny but somehow we can get lost with our engineers lost and the seeds of greatness are stuck under a rock that won't allow it to sprout up into the world. That is where this blog led me straight to my friend, Maria Pollard. A bit of background, Maria grew up in Sweden as a shy child with a lively imagination. She became interested in theater in her ...
