3rd Annual Derby Hatwalk Brunch + #Giveaway

The 3rd Annual Derby Hatwalk Brunch will be taking place on Saturday, May 11th in Atlanta!  I have the honor of being one of the Derby Hatwalk Bloggers for the event!  Egypt Sherrod from HGTV and V103 will host the brunch!  

Derby Hatwalk Brunch is an annual charity event that brings women together to celebrate sisterhood and service, and fellowship in high style by paying homage to the tradition of the Kentucky Derby. Ladies strut their fabulous hats on the Hatwalk and compete for special prizes. Guest will enjoy food, cocktails, vendors, live entertainment and goodie bags.  All proceeds from the Derby Brunch Hatwalk benefit T.R.I.P. (Travel.Rebuild. Inspire. Progress), a national non-for-profit organization that helps to rebuild and revitalize communities across the country.  T.R.I.P. hosts and facilitates volunteer-vacations and community service projects throughout the year.
