Friday Things- Kentucky Derby Party Edition

 {homemade derby hat sugar cookies}
The Kentucky Derby is this weekend, and I couldn’t be more delighted. Not only am I excited to see what everyone is wearing at the Derby (especially the hats!), but I am hosting a party as well. Here is a glance at some elements of my Derby party.

 {party favor: mint julep vase with junior mints}
 {party polish: Pandora by Zoya}
{individual bottles of PURE LEAF Sweet Tea}
I have no idea how to make "Southern Sweet Tea", and when I tried it tasted awful. PURE LEAF's Sweet Tea taste perfectly homemade and the individual bottles are a classic touch. 
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Lipton Pure Leaf. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for participating

    Girl, you should have asked me about making sweet tea! Your ML hat is too cute--love the scarf/tie around it. The vase and mints--adorable! I hope you have a wonderful party!

    Oh sweet tea is so easy to make when you do it right...it's one thing every Southern woman knows how to make - I could totally give you a great, no-fail recipe if you want!

    You are soooo creative, love those cookies!!

    I love sweet tea and since my family is from the south, I am a pro at it:-) I love those cookies! so cute. And of course I have always wanted to go to the Derby. I went to a Derby event where I live last year and got to wear a cute dress and big ol hat...LOL

    I tried mint juleps and I think they are awful. I really don't know why people like them

    Those cookies are darling!
    All your polish colors have inspired me. I painted my toes a pretty spring color last night!

    I almost bought Pandora the other day but was concerned that it looked too nude. It looks stunning!
    I'm doing a giveway. Please enter if you're interested. xx
