This weekend we get to have some classic American fun. The Kentucky Derby is full of crisp, conservative dresses, hats that wear you and and mint juleps served in their signature sterling silver cups. I recently learned that Tiffany & Co has teamed with Woodford Reserve to release a special mint julep cup to benefit The Barnstable Brown Kentucky Diabetes & Obesity Center. There are only 73 cups available that come with a hefty price tag of $1000. The special edition Tiffany & Co cup will be available at the Kentucky Derby inside Gate 10. Since we cant all sip from such a special sterling silver cup, I found some other mint julep and Kentucky Derby inspired items that suit my fancy. Below are some of my favorite finds.
