Anticipation for the Derby was building prior to the race when I spotted a friend wearing this Vineyard Vines tie from the Kentucky Derby Collection.
I have a feeling these Whale Derby hats will be heavily sought-after when they sell out.
I am curious who purchased the $1,000 Mint Juleps from Woodford Reserve and Tiffany & Co. There were 103 mint juleps for sale and they contained ice made from rainwater where the air is the pourest in the world.

Animal Kingdom with John Velazquez won the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
Special thanks to Dixie's parents for having us over to watch the Derby and congratulations to Lawyer Liz for running her first half marathon! xx

Animal Kingdom was such a surprise to win! I really wish I had been there this year to purchase one of those Tiffany mint juleps ;) xoxo
What a thrill that you got to take home the pot!
So fun! Those julep cups are beautiful but 1,000 is a pricey cocktail : )
Great post and congrats on winning the pot!
Don't spend all your winnings in one place! XO
Congrats on winning the pool. I picked up that hat a few weeks ago and when I wore it to Eastern Market Saturday several people asked me about it.
such fun! congrats on your winnings! my former boss owns midnight interlude and was interviewed....we had a fun time at our party too -- i mean, dresses, hats, juleps and bbq -- all the makings of a great time!
I picked animal kingdom too!
congrats on winning! o my goodness the $1000 mint juleps are too funny!
Congrats on having the winner! We certainly didn't, but had a great time anyway. The man in the box in front of us was sporting that VV tie - very sharp! Not sure who bought the Tiffany's juleps, but by the time Derby rolled around, there wasn't a julep to be found. I had my share earlier in the day, but for Derby had to sip upon a bourbon and water. :(
Ohhhhh! The VV tractor just kills me with its cuteness :) And I agree, that hat is definitely going to be a hot collector's item! You two look precious as always. HOORAY for your fabulous winnings!! Hope your beautiful Mom had a great Mother's Day! xoxo
Glad that you had a great Derby day and congrats on winning the pool :)
Love that tunic that you're wearing in the picture!
Wooohoo, congrats to you and JCW for your big win! That pink tractor is too much-- love it! I also am a big fan of the VV Derby hat!
If I ever had a need to own a tractor, I would want one just like that! Congrats on your winnings! We had a derby party and no one picked Animal Kingdom to win. I actually like it when that happens, a surprise finish!
Ah, got my hand raised as someone who sooo woulda been a sucker for one of those mega bucks Mint Juleps...XXOO
Congrats on winning the big prize! Darling picture. xoxo
Wasn't the Derby fun?!! I love that tie and whale cap! And, those mint julep cups from Tiffany. Wish I could afford it, but for now.....just the silver plated ones! :)

Love all the VV stuff-- YAY for winning the pool!!!
You won, you won! That VV cap would be perfect for summer boat trips, don't you think? You look lovely, as always!
What fabulous luck to win the pot! I adore the VV Derby collection. I'd love everything in the Jockey Silks print! :)
$100 sips seems crazy! All went to a good cause it sounds like though. Congrats on winning the pot!
