Giddy Up!




The Kentucky Derby is rapidly approaching....No plans?! May 2nd is a day of celebration much like Halloween. Add: Horses subtract: Headless Horsemen add: Mint Juleps subtract: Thin Mints add: Big floral hats and dresses subtract: Witch hats and naughty nurse dresses... See, they are EXACTLY alike! AND would you sit in if Halloween was on a warm Saturday in May?!!! I think not! Put the anti-anxiety meds away, I have the remedy for your potentially problematic situation.

For those of us who cannot make the trek to Churchill Downs and bet on the horse with the goofiest name, what better way to spend the day then on a pub crawl with all of your friends and friends to be. What better way to use my blog than to promote my own business endeavors?!!There is nothing like a day of drinking Mint Juleps and Miller Lite to celebrate this yearly occasion. And who doesn't love a good pub crawl to kick off summer? You will get all this and more by attending Derby Daze Chicago http://www.derbydazechicago.com/ , the pub crawl event of the year!

Ladies, this means finding the best outfit possible, for 3 reasons. Reason 1- To avoid being one upped by the hot 19 year old (Hey...We are hosting this in the DePaul neighborhood, someone under 25 could come!!!) with her fabulous dress, big boobs and trendy hat. Reason 2- You'd don't want to miss out on the chance to win the Best Dressed contest! Reason 3 - Who doesn't love a little pub crawl make out??? (We are not responsible if the person you chose to make out with after 5 Mint Juleps ends up looking like the winner of the Derby when you sober up).

This doesn't have to be a bank breaking endeavor...I saw some great hats and dresses at Loehman's on State Street and some great hats at Target for less than $15. Also, dig a bit in your own closet. Any polka dot, floral dress or brightly colored dress with a big hat to accessorize should do the trick! If you want something special and just won the lotto, Betsey Johnson makes the most amazing Derby-Ready dresses!
