In The Pink

Eugenia Kim Organza Bow Pink Mirabel Straw Sunhat

 

This gorgeous hat is by one of my favorite hat designers, Eugenia Kim. It would be lovely for Easter, Kentucky Derby parties, and outdoor weddings. I am hosting a big Derby party and this would be perfect.

Tonight's Soiree & Recipe

CCC

 

Yesterday I whipped up this cork fascinator to wear at tonight's French wine dinner featuring Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley. I love hats. I have been asked to judge a big Kentucky Derby hat contest in May and am designing a special hat to wear for it.

A Big Coverup

One trepidation I had about moving to Florida was my skin. I have seen so many people who move here and their skin gets brown and wrinkled and leathery. I have always taken really good care of my skin and I have great skin. One tip I have is Creme de la Mer Moisturizer that I have used forever. I used Erno Lazlo (Jackie Kennedy was a devotee) in my twenties and then moved on to La Mer. It is worth every penny.
