Melbourne Racing Club launched their fashion season last week, with guests invited to the Penthouse at The Olsen Hotel to check out the latest accessories on hand for all your racing needs.
Yours truly had the pleasure of attending and selecting my favourites from tables laden with hats, shoes, makeup and bags to create a flat lay unique to what I’d wear to the races.
Melbourne stylist Lana Wilkinson was on hand to offer fashion advice, and her prediction was bold, block colour (think mustard yellow and red), clashing prints and low and behold not to be afraid to rock a hat. Your own correspondent has never been afraid to wear hats and in fact has been disheartened in recent years at the trend towards racing ambassadors and celebrities forgoing fancy headwear. Remember this post?
I digress, it was a wonderful evening and fun to play dress ups, scroll down to see what I chose and where you can get your hands on it!
