Styling clients and friends for Derby events is a new experience for me. Opening Day at Del Mar is defined as one of the most fabulous and fun festivities in the west. This event is not only about big bets and fast horses, but celebrating the season in style. Lady like frocks, dapper suits and blazers, forties reminiscent hair and makeup, and of course dressing for a derby is all about the perfect hat! Here are a few looks that I have used for inspiration in choosing and recommending hats for Opening Day 2011.
