the virginia gold cup

Monday, May 7


We got all gussied up and went to the Virginia Gold Cup with a few friends over the weekend. The races were exciting, the food was delicious, the hats were much more fabulous than mine {I guess I just have a hard time with poufs on my head}, and the miniature bow-ties were charming, yet remained mostly hidden by the baby with the outstanding chins. But really ... forget the horses and the hats, the program booklet was the one capturing hearts for the afternoon. Riveting material! So says juicy lips.
P.S. I found my dress here

Wait, is that Lisa?

Oh I'd love to go to a race like that someday! It looks like such a fun time! And your baby is so precious.

Gorgeous dress! Perfect for a sunny day on some lush grass :) Although online it looks like the under-slip thing is verrryyy short. Did you extend yours somehow to make it more decent?

May 07, 2012 5:40 AM

beautiful captures!

What did you do to lengthen the under layer of the dress? In the UO picture it seems much shorter?

May 07, 2012 7:09 AM

so fun. and i like your hate much better than the other poufs i saw. nicely done.

May 07, 2012 7:11 AM

I loved seeing everyone in D.C. dressed up to head out to the Cup this weekend! I'll have to do it next year :)

May 07, 2012 7:35 AM

Cutest little family! I prefer your hat & hair out over the ridiculous hats I see girls wear to the races!

May 07, 2012 7:37 AM

What a perfect place to wear that hat!

That food looked amazing! What a fun time it looks like you had. I love any excuse to get dressed up.

May 07, 2012 9:15 AM

I agree with the Stratton's....(any excuse to dress up). I can't get over that dress....feminine and soft...perfect for a formal picnic and a race....I've been to neither, but maybe someday I'll take a gander at that! :) Inspiring!

May 07, 2012 9:16 AM

You look just stunning in that dress and floppy hat and your men sooo handsome. In fact, I am sitting at the airport and the woman next to me looked at my computer screen and said, "Wow, that's a cute baby!" :)

May 07, 2012 9:34 AM

you look ADORABLE. and horse races? my mom would die. someday i must take her to a horse race, she just loves them (we live in utah - not much for horse racing other than watching on tv ;)) so fun!
