Tackling the Second Louisville Food Truck Festival

This weekend was one that’s been circled on my calendar for a while now: it was the second annual Louisville food truck festival!  I went to the very first one last year and had such a blast that I knew I had to go back.  I’m here today to report on my favorite eats; many of the food trucks are based in Louisville so be sure to check them out and support local!

How to Wear a Midi Skirt & Evan Williams’ New Bar

Anyone else struggle with what to wear to events during this time of year?  You want to look nice but you don’t want to drown in your own sweat, ya know?  A few weeks back, I went to a preview of the new ON3 Bar opened at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience here in Louisville.  I wanted to show off how to wear a midi skirt, because this outfit was JUST what I needed for the event and the perfect mix of casual chic.

Why I Need Your Help for My Birthday

Hi friends!  Today’s post is one I’ve been anxious to write for MONTHS now.  I’m so excited to finally be hitting publish on this, but I know I’ll need your help.  About six months ago, I started to think about what I wanted to do with What Nicole Wore for my birthday.  That may sound materialistic or self-centered but I assure you it’s not.  This year for my birthday I want to be an advocate to end child hunger.

And before anyone’s like, “ummmm that’s not possible,” I get it.  We can’t end childhood hunger in one month.  What we can do is make a huge difference.  One organization that does this is Blessings in a Backpack and for the whole month of August {plus this bonus week!}, I’ll be fundraising for them.

Kentucky blogger, What Nicole Wore, shares what she wants for her birthday: to tackle childhood hunger and raise money for Blessings in a Backpack. Find out how you can support the Louisville based charity! // chino shorts outfit, casual outfit ideas, affordable red lipstick, colourpop makeup
