Whilst Sydney's spring carnival racing may have been bought to a standstill, the Stylist whose Celebrity was voted one 1 of 9 best dressed at the Melbourne Cup, this very blogger shares her tips as she prepares the 2008 VRC Ambassadors wardrobes for this years Melbourne Cup Racing Carnival...

What’s In
§ The Dress in any cut
§ Colour and Prints - Monochromatics, Spots, stripes, checks and florals
§ The Saucer perched on the sides, backs and fronts of heads
§ Bedecked with flowers or festooned with feathers
§ Gloves and Umbrellas
§ Turbans
§ Attention worthy shoes – think grass, think wedges

§ The Watch – for Melbourne Cup think Longines!

What’s so Last Year
§ The classic Ascot jacket and skirt
§ The Fascinator
§ Goosebumps – Don’t forget your cold weather options
§ Green – some consider it unlucky at the racetrack
§ The oversized Handbag

What scares the horses and the Gentleman
§ Revealing Las Vegas cleavage
§ Shorts and High Heels
§ Wearing Flip Flops – regardless of if you have had a pedicure
§ Wearing your print too far i e polka dot stockings, polka dot dress and polka dot
hat
§ Wearing your face and forget your neck
§ You wearing your champagne

Tips for surviving the Racing Carnival
§ Celebrate your good taste if someone else is wearing your outfit
§ Your outfit should tell a story – work to a colour theme or concept
§ You are not just there for the fashion – study the horses and have a
flutter
§ Watch your champagne glass – and not just for safety - elegance and
appropriateness go hand in hand and champagne in the sun mixes quickly!
§ Smile and enjoy!!!
