That’s a lie. The Derby Days aren’t even close. But I scooped up this Carolina Cup Dress (still on sale!) upon the end of the season and could not be more smitten. I suppose it will just have to make a second debut come next year!

Summer is practically here and I fully plan on embracing every second of sunshine I can get over the next few months! I’ve been going out of my way just so I can walk along the Boston Harbor and soak up as much sunlight + summer cheer as I can. Long New England winters can do that to ya.
How are you soaking up summer this year?
Cinco de Mayo, The Kentucky Derby, and my best friend/roommate’s birthday marked three excuses to celebrate this weekend! Though I will say May 5 definitely threw some people for a loop this year– I saw ladies in sombreros drinking mint juleps and men in bowler hats downing margaritas. But we embraced it… here are snapshots of our celebrations! And those cupcakes– thank you Lauren Conrad for the delicious recipe.
I’m curious– how did you celebrate the double day of fun??
Some days I wonder how I was not born in the South. Lilly dresses and white gloves and and sweet tea and proper gentlemen and big ‘ol plantations? My dream come true. Oh, and the Kentucky Derby. Can’t forget the Derby.

How cute is the horseshoe print of this dress? In serious lust.
One day I’ll make it down there. But for now I’ll just dream about wearing this darling outfit to the races. That’s what Friday’s Fancies are for!
