Etsy Finds: custom derby shoes

They just don't make shoes like they used to. Unless, of course, you order a pair of handcrafted, custom made shoes, like these amazing 1930s inspired derbies. The shoes are made to fit your personal foot measurements and tracings, and since they're custom made just for you they can be modified with different options such as other colors or toe shapes. More custom shoe styles are also available.

$500 from zerkahloostrah

What does it take to win the Kentucky Derby? This hat!

Posted Jul 11th 2008 at 2:51PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care


Okay, so an amazing hat won't win the race, but we're actually not terribly interested in that part anyway. We're far more fascinated by the hats that the Derby brings out, and the Kentucky Derby Museum has chosen the hat with which it is most impressed this year -- Gena Conti Millinery's Orange Ade.

American League All-Stars: The jerseys

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really. Go Yanks!

Major League Baseball will be celebrating the All-Star break in one week. That doesn't mean you can't start celebrating it now. We're talking jerseys, people.

Granted, we usually don't suggest that people wear replica jerseys and faux uniforms as a fashion statement. However, as a regular statement they are generally acceptable. Still, you probably shouldn't wear them to the office. They're much more appropriate to wear to the game, bar, or other sports-related event. Luckily we go to a lot of games, bars and sports-related events. Mostly bars.

Make your own Kentucky Derby hat

Posted Apr 29th 2008 at 12:27PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories


Kentucky Derby fashion is most excellent, escpecially the hats. They are truly the definition of fabulous, and they just wouldn't do anywhere else.

However, not everyone can afford to spend $100 or more on a hat that might not be worn more than once, especially if it's just for a party and not for the Derby itself. In that case, you might want to create your own hat.

The crazy fashions of the Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby brings with it so much excitement -- the parties, the betting, the race itself -- but none of that comes close to the excitement of the fashions.

Of course, the hats are the main draw -- from the fabulously funky to the terribly tacky, unique hats (for the men as well as for the ladies) are an absolute must. But one can't get away with wearing only a hat to the Derby. (Seriously. Don't try it.) When it comes to clothing, here's what you can expect:

Decorating for your Kentucky Derby party

Posted Apr 18th 2008 at 12:37PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Haute Home




The Kentucky Derby is right around the corner (Saturday, May 3) -- what are your plans? If you're not heading to Louisville, you can still enjoy the festivities of the event by hosting a fabulous party in your home.

If you want to keep some of the Derby traditions in tact, you'll need to serve some particular drinks and dishes, but even before the food comes out, you'll want to set the tone with decor. Here are two ways to decorate, going along with the two types of Derby-goers (Millionaire's Row and the infield).

Fashionable food and drink for your Kentucky Derby Party

Posted Apr 18th 2008 at 10:02AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Fashionable Food




A stylish party is one part fabulous atmosphere, one part gorgeous guests, and one part fashionable food and drink -- a Kentucky Derby party is no exception.

First things first -- you can't celebrate the Derby without serving up mint juleps. This is the traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby, made of sugar, water, mint, and bourbon (or variations thereof). Ideally, they should be served in a chilled, silver cup (which are fun gifts for your guests to take home).
