There is nothing better than getting all dolled up for the beautiful Spring weather! My morning is busy doing my hair, putting on the right make up to complement my Black & Whites for the day.
Wore: Year 10 formal dress (I still fit into it- YAY) Marc Jacobs black & white shoes, Blumarine black & white handbag, BIG black & white hat.
Melbourne Cup, the only day I venture into the TAB and place bets on the horses, what beautiful magnificent animals they are... I place a couple of bets plus the sentimental favourite Makaybe Diva. Winning her 3rd Melbourne Cup. The race that stops the nation - the 5 of us on the table had tears in our eyes when the little feelie came running down the straight. Only 2 of us (me included) backed the beautiful girl. No one would begrudge this win. We witnessed history.
Lunch was at the Monkey Bar in Balmain with my work colleagues (we closed the office at 12.30pm). Fantastic food, Fantastic vibe - who won the best dressed - not me. A fru fru in a pink dress with feathers in her hair :-(
J & L came up to the Monkey Bar to share the 4th bottle of Champers for the day, Melbourne Cup is the only day where girls can get all dressed up, start drinking at midday, totter around in 4" heels and it's socially acceptable! I love this country!
