This coming weekend, Nov. 5 and 6, the Breeders' Cup returns to Louisville. So, the who’s who of the horse world will again descend upon our fair city. I have a chance to go to the preview races on Friday, but I’ll have to see how my schedule shakes out.
With the cooler weather, Breeders Cup offers a different take on the fabulous finery at Churchill Downs. Instead of straw hats and Lilly Pulitzer-inspired colors, the fall meet features wool cloches, leather boots and more earth tones, yet some vibrant colors still manage to get thrown in the mix. These hats from Susan Van der Linde are simply gorgeous.
Très expensive, but gorgeous nontheless.
The Breeders Cup only makes it to Churchill every few years, so when there’s a chance to wear a great hat in November, be sure to jump at the chance.

The 2nd and last hat are calling my name...I needed to mute my computer. :) Love a good excuse to wear a fabulous hat! Hope you had a fabulous time with your kiddos last night!

Oh how utterly fabulous! Wishing that I was going to be in town for this big event!
I LOVE hats. I feel like my fashionable whenever I wear one!
Oh, I had fun at the Breeder's Cup when it was here in TX 5-6 years ago. Have so much fun if you go! And wear a fabulous hat. I will say, we didn't wear hats...not the same kind of spirit here, sadly.
Have fun and love the hats

Have fun and bet some long shots...I will bet the turf and classic remotely via phone bet as I will be at a Tailgate watching the Penna. Hunt Cup Steeplechase on Sunday. Post pictures of whatever hat you end up wearing!
Good Luck!
I've had my eye on a brown wool cloche with a rosette on the temple. I was afraid it was a little too "Olivia Walton," but your post has changed my mind!
Can not wait to see yours! Have never been much of a hat lady in the fall... But now, I may have to change that!
The first hat is crazy and funky!
