What I’m Wearing: Satya Twena Fascinator, Forever 21 Dress, Lia Sophia Jewelry, DSW Wedges.

Kentucky Derby 139 may have been much different from my last 24 Derby Day celebrations, but we threw one heck of a Kentucky-themed party in NYC. I was not willing to throw this shindig without a proper Derby attire, hat and all. I chose a simple black and floral sundress with a bold red lip and nude wedges for my look and it was all pulled together with my custom veil-fascinator.

My outfit wasn’t the only display of Kentucky Derby tradition. From the homemade mini-hotbrowns, to country ham biscuits, to mini derby pies, my roommate and I brought our Old Kentucky Home to the Big Apple in style. We even had a full bar with signature bourbon drinks and delicious mint juleps. Most of our guests were trying these Kentucky traditions for the first time and I’d say Kentucky left a lasting impression on all.

Hopefully everyone back home and all around the world celebrated just as we did. In fact, I know a few Lex What Wear readers had a great Derby party this past Saturday, and I am so excited to share Kama’s pictures. Thank you so much for reading every morning Kama, and for sending these great pics of you and your friends. You all look gorgeous!
