The Facebook page for “We’re Cool” was launched on May 10 and already has 316 likes. Its description is charmingly modest: We’re Cool was created in 2013 by Richard Hudgins of Louisville, Kentucky. No one special. Just a guy who was fed up with people that treated others poorly. No one special? We’d beg to [...]

We’re trying to figure out why, but the high star wattage Derby parties are late in announcing their celeb lists … with a big one coming with less than 72-hours until the event. Too many parties, too few A-listers? Security concerns? We don’t know. What we do know is, we just got the list from [...]

[On Friday's 'Styling the Kentucky Derby' post, fashion blogger Cameron Miquelon talked with former-'Project Runway' contestant, Louisvillian Gunnar Deatherage, about his Derby and pre-Derby work styling the 'Run for the Roses' fashion show, the band A Lion Named Roar for their upcoming Barnstable Brown party and Derby appearances, among others.

Theater with Actors Theatre. Even advertising and marketing with Brown-Forman and Humana here. But is it possible we missed the most unlikely of [...]

My favorite color is orange. My favorite pocketbook was a ratty old Coach bag I bought at a thrift sale for $25; it was a mess, but it was the perfect size. I’ve been rocking a fleur de lis tattoo since long before fleurs de lis became cool, long before I moved to New Orleans, [...]

H&M is always at the top of the “most wanted” list when Insider Louisville (and everyone else) queries Louisvillians about which global retail brands they want to come to town. Well, it appears we may be about to cross H&M off that list along with Trader Joe’s, the Apple Store, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitter. Multiple [...]

Caden, a new entry to the Louisville fashion scene, has slipped into the Highlands. It opened on November 1 in that attractive white clapboard Victorian bungalow with the colorful striped awnings and wide wraparound front porch on 2013 Longest Avenue, between Heine Bros. and the Gregory Michaels hair salon. Owner, Anne Gordon, doesn’t want Caden [...]
