Odds: 2012:138

Just kidding! Those aren't the odds! It IS however, the 138th Kentucky Derby today!!

LBP loves Liason! 

Even if the odds are 50-1, Liason loves pink and green and so does LBP, so natch I'm cheering for this horse! The owner is also the former CEO of Talbots! 

Just look at those polka-dotted silks! TOO MUCH FUN!

My second choice bet would be Sabercat, because it's CLEARLY a Gamecock at heart:

Garnet and white, I'm not against it. (Interestingly enough, there's no orange jockey this year...sorry Clemson...)

Who are your picks to win? Are you going with either of my LONGSHOT picks? Let me know and we'll get our Derby Party started!!

Carolina Cup Week: The Hats

In a style a la the Kentucky Derby, the Carolina Cup is famous for it's hats.

If you're not familiar with proper hat etiquette, check here--straight from fancy derby hat capital, Kentucky!!

Super popular this year were the Marley Lilly hats as made famous by Carly at College Prepster! ML even held a trunk show here at USC for some very lucky Kappa Delta sorority sisters and other girls on campus for Carolina Cup! Here are some of my favorite ML styles:

Great colors to match any bright dress for Cup!

LOVE this style and color! I have the PERFECT shift that would match this!

Carly's hat--what a great combo!

I love the pink and navy together! I think pink and black would look fab together too!

I love this basic style, it would match just about anything. I'd put white in for the monogram and it would match the dress I'm wearing perfectly!!

I am oh-so last minute, but I still need my hat!! Anyone have any advice for where to get one? I'm thinking to head over to department stores, BUT I have two tests Thursday and that's my 100% focus until then! After work ends at 5 on Thursday I'm good to go!
