It is the first Saturday in May. You know what that means? The Kentucky Derby! And this year we have a double whammy with Cinco de Mayo on the same day. Talk about having to pace yourself! Mint Juleps in the morning, Margaritas in the afternoon and Excedrin at midnight.

But seriously...the FASHIONS! I mean, ok, the race is absolutely exhilarating. But let's be honest I love the hats and fascinators!! I have a collection and they are so fun.

Now, although these looks are pure Cinco de Derby approved, these looks could be just as perfect for the busy bridal season ahead. The dresses themselves translate beautifuly to a Mother's Day Brunch, First Communion, and graduations just to name a few!

I love pink and I love this hat. It's a WIN-WIN for me! If you are outdoors and in a warm climate enjoying outdoor festivities you will love it. It is by Kate Landry and I found it at Dillard's. The dress is a lovely abstract floral and it is by Katherine Kelly at Dillard's.

I am totally obsessed with this lip color! It is from Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Paint-On liquid lip collection. The name is Liquid Desire #406. It feels amazing on, has a "vinyl" finish, but it is not too shiny and the color stays put for hours. I also have it in Chrome Copper and it too delivers great color pay-off.

You need to try these, you will love them!

Another great hat option is the fascinator a form of hat that may be traced back to the Renaissance era of the 16th century.

If you don't want or like a big hat then the fascinator is your perfect choice. This cutie is by Kate Landry at Dillard's. It will make you feel like a guest off to the upcoming Royal Nuptials! This great looking dress is by Gabby Skye at Nordstrom. A terrific fit and flare with another take on the floral print. The woven fabric is very unique and so pretty!

I hope you have enjoyed my Cinco de Derby inspired fashions! Thanks so much for sharing my passion for fashion. Whatever you find yourself doing this weekend, hope you have lots of fun and remember,
