Donna's Picks for May

Whether you’re headed to Churchill Downs or throwing a Derby-inspired party at home, our Fedora is the perfect hat choice. With a classic pinched crown and shaped to cast flattering shadows, the flat brim magically erases hints of late nights, too much fun and too little sleep. In Black or Leopard, a narrow band encircling the crown, adds design interest, texture, and color. Inside, a concealed ribbon tie ensures adjustable custom fit.

Perfect for cheering at track meets and spring soccer games, our 42" x 30" Mink Lap Blanket has soft, cozy black sheared mink on one side and black weather-resistant fabric on the reverse. Use it to cushion stadium seating OR grassy sidelines. Complete with a 13" x 13½" drawstring carrier of weather-resistant fabric. In yet another season, the Mink Lap Blanket takes you comfortably to outdoor concerts, picnics, and alfresco dining. Life happens and, conveniently, the Mink Lap Blanket is easy-care machine wash/line dry. Don’t forget our cute Sherpa Baseball Hat. Large enough to shade your eyes, the 3"-deep bill is perfect for hiding the fact you’ve ventured out with no makeup.

While the weather is finally warming, a cozy faux fur vest is essential for sundown drinks and chilly spring walks. There’s a vest for every taste on our Web site, but the Posh Snap Vest is my favorite. It’s a morning-till-midnight layer of super-soft Ivory Mink, tempered by the hard-edge tailoring of Ivory vegan leather bands, set with Silver industrial snaps. Absolutely bulk-free, it slips easily over a warm sweater and jeans. Indoors and out, the cozy 3” standup collar and four snap closures provide a stylish barrier to drafty rooms and chill winds. Concealed pockets conveniently stow lip gloss and keys. Casual, yet polished, this lightweight layer has the bonus of machine wash/line dry easy care.
