Vineyard Vines: Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby is coming out on May 2 and 3. While I have never attended, but hope to so day, I love the fashion of the derby. Each year, Vineyard Vines releases their Kentucky Derby collection which is filled with bright, preppy staples that are perfect for a day at the races. 

This year's collection is quite possibly one of my favorites yet. I would love to wear one of the looks to the Derby, but I would wear almost all the pieces around town in the summer. Here are some of my favorite looks from the new collection that give inspiration for the races. Note: all outfits pair well with a Mint Julep! 

Have you attended the Kentucky Derby?

Vineyard Vines Holiday Arrivals

Holiday collections are always a yearly favorite. They are usually filled with icons of the season, namely tartans, plaids, intarsias, and fun embroidery. The new holiday arrivals from Vineyard Vines include some great pieces for the season as we get closer and closer to calendars filled with dinner parties and soirées. Included in the collection are a myriad of fun, printed ties, oxfords in seasonal colors, and fun party pants. 

Here are some of my top picks from the new arrivals:

The navy pants embroidered with wreaths and the Vineyard Vines whale in a Santa hat are perhaps my favorite...who said dressing for a holiday party meant you had to be boring? The tweed blazer will become a go-to favorite, and the oxford in navy and red is vibrant yet appropriate for the season. As always, the ties never disappoint.

Derby Days

A lot of exciting events are coming up in the preppy world. The Carolina Cup is just a short time away, but  the big event, the Kentucky Derby, is just around the corner as well. Of course I love derby dressing...whats better than a lot of seersucker and embroidered pants in one location? Perhaps nothing. 

Vineyard Vines launches a Derby collection each year. I even featured it last year!

This year's derby collection was recently released by Vineyard Vines, and of course Im loving it! Here's a few of my favorites for men:
