So…I want to wear fresh flowers in my hair but these accessories from Twigs & Honey are making me want to reconsider….
At Home with The Man Repeller
Leandra Medine (The Man Repeller). Love her, love her sharp tongue, love her blog, love all the recognition she’s getting and now am completely jealous of her clothes/shoes/bags/abode.

The WORST of the Derby hats
If you read this blog often, you know I have an affinity for hats. I love hats and next to the royal wedding, the Kentucky Derby is the mecca of big hats. However, I only spotted B-list celebs and only one hit the mark.
LOSERS
I honestly can’t believe people are a) still inviting KG to parties or b) people are still photographing her or c) websites are still publishing her photos.
Maria – I like your fascinator but the whole look is too much. It’s not the royal wedding, sis.
Oh no…Miranda Lambert – everything you have on looks like it came from a clearance rack at the buckle. I could have allowed it if you had worn cute heels, but the boots – ick!
Aubrey O’Day – not as bad as you could have been, I’ll give you that…
Oh, spoke too soon! Aubs did a lil outfit change! Oh my…
Erin Andrews, this is just foul. That hat I could deal with…maybe paired with a LBD? But the pants? Girl you are thin! These make you look like Kirstie Alley! And the shoes…there is NO EXCUSE.
Salt & Pepa….
Vicki Gunvalson, if Miranda L. got her “getup” at the Buckle, you got yours at Target.
Jordin Sparks, I don’t so much have beef with your hat as I do your leggings. WTF. It is the derby.
WINNERS
There really was a lack of appropriately dressed peeps at this shindig. In fact I saw 2 that I appreciated. One was Marisa Miller. First of all, it’s really hard to look bad with that body. Secondly, although I don’t particularly love the monochromatic look in beige, I do like her Great Gatsby-ish, 1920’s take on Derby Day.
Well done, Kate Walsh

I think I need a swim cap!
St. Tropez, Shall We?
Ooops, J Simps forgot her pants.
Am I Wearing Pants?
Well Suited
All that glitters
Die-die-dying over these sequins and sparkles and the simple, slicked back hair. The color, the slight tan and easy make-up. Everything is right.
