The Derby isn’t just fun- it’s good for Louisville’s economy as well. The Courier-Journal wrote an article (http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20090425/FEATURES04/904250323/Well-heeled+for+Kentucky+Derby+events) about how local businesses are profiting off the Derby. Everyone knows those fabulous hats aren’t free!
Stilettos can be a girl’s best friend and worst enemy (hello long legs and sore feet!) but three local boutiques are carrying a cool item that will come in handy at all the derby events. Women know not to walk through grass in pointy heels. They sink in and get muddy. Many of the Derby events are at least partly in grassy areas, so you see the problem. This little cap goes on the bottom of the heel to make it wider so it won’t sink in the grass. Sounds ingenious, but will they match the shoe? I’d have to see them in person to find out for sure. The picture shoes a black product with a black heel. What about my pink polka dot heels?
Next up is PINK, my favorite color. Several local stores, including the Fashion Post, Parallel 38 and the Peppermint Palm are donating some of their proceeds to the Susan G. Koman cancer foundation on specific days and times.
Check out the article for other shopping events and find out where you can get other fun Derby goodies, including the famous Derby hats and Derby Christmas ornaments.
