Hello Fashionable Fillies – Spring Racing fever is on our door step!  Time to bring out your femininity and let your personality shine.  

I personally love this time of year, Spring flowers, warm sunshine and lots of social activities.  It’s an opportunity to get outdoors and have some fun, so why not gather a group of friends and dress up for a day out at the races.   A perfect opportunity to wear a gorgeous dress and compliment with a hat or fascinator.  Men can wear a coloured tie and pocket square, to jazz up their suit.

Impeccable grooming is key, ensure your hair and make up are styled accordingly for your outfit.  Nude nails and lipstick are great if wearing a brightly coloured outfit.  Likewise if your dress and hat are demure, then a gorgeous lipstick and nail polish will add a pop of colour.

Melbourne Cup week has a theme for each race day, as a general guideline Derby Day – dress in black and white.  The main event, Melbourne Cup Day is when you can go a little crazy and have fun with colour or bring out your zany side!  Crown Oaks Day is for the ladies, an opportunity to be ultra feminine, think lace, florals & etiquette.  Finally Stakes Day is for all the family, dress style can be a little more relaxed.

Enjoy the season, dress the part and may lady luck be on your side!
