Derby fever is beginning to set in around town and as such, my email has been flooded with all kinds of Derby shopping events, trunk shows, fashion shows, deals, etc. While I wish I could go to all of them, my wallet and my schedule (boo for that whole having to work thing) don’t allow for that. Hopefully some of you will be able to attend some of these amazing Derby shopping opportunities. There’s a little something for everyone in the list below (even guys!).
If you have something you’d like to add to this list, just drop me a line at danielle @ louwhatwear.com OR post it in the comments (I love me some comments) and I’ll update accordingly.
Enjoy!
