The Kentucky Derby

Mark and Graham

I will be hosting a Kentucky Derby Party this Friday, the night before the Derby, with 30 people coming. It is a wine tasting and food pairing with the wines and foods of the Kentucky Derby.

I have a large collection of hats and fascinators. Since the red rose is the official flower of the Kentucky Derby, I will be wearing a red rose and feather fascinator by my favorite hat designer, Peter Bettley, that I bought on a trip to London.

Red Roses for Valentine's Day

Williams Sonoma

For Valentine's Day, I love my home filled with red roses in blue and white ginger jars. Such a classic. Publix had roses on BOGO this week, so I decided to take advantage of this great deal.
