Caulfield Ladies Luncheon

Yes, my silly season wears me out and I am always behind in work.  Caulfield is always one of my favourite courses and the Winning Post Restaurant has had a major facelift.  In fact an Extreme Make Over!  I will be reporting on that soon.
This year it was exciting to see the Lolly Bar was on each table and we did not have to go through the huge lines like previous years.  
One of my favourite parts of the Ladies Luncheons is I catch up with so many friends from the members, and people that head to the races every week.  This gives me a chance to say "hello" to all my friends that on the busier days that I am filming and I love seeing all the familiar faces.  Also the filming during luncheons has just stayed at still photography as having a TV show is not Cheap.  (hint hint advertisers, we outrate Foxtel)
Again, it was wonderful to bring awareness to 'The Starlight Foundation' where we can also see our entrance snaps, and all the money received from the Pin & Win competition goes straight to granting wishes for children in need.  A lovely lunch, friends, smiles and fashion for a great cause.  That is what we want!

Hello to Chris and Carol, I always love catching up with these ladies.  
We see each other at every luncheon and have been doing so before I was reporting on 'Racing Fashion'

I took this home for my 4 year old daughter and she loved it.  Mind you a week later she still loves it and it is turning brown.  Maybe a lesson now in potpourri.

Champagne Theft at the RACES!!!!!

Although I am on track every week, one thing is for sure, I am always wanting to look the best and be the best I can be.  I adore heading to the track in Winter and sometimes some roughies get up with the slow track paying $80 the win in the maiden.  The Trifecta and First 4 paid a treat but alas, not for me.  My husband and I had a wonderful day and I am still on my mission to try and see how many looks I can get out of 1 Herve Leger dress.  With the way the cost, why not, you would want to wear them every week to get your moneys worth, and I am and also a great warm dress during Winter and to add with Opaque Hosiery.
The biggest talking point in the 'Winning Post Restaurant' with the staff and the regular guests was that last time my Champagne was stolen, Yes Stolen.
Lust time, (two weeks ago) there was a table of mature people drinking 'Yellow', I had only had two glasses all day (I had a headache) and when I went to the bathroom at the end of the day the bottle had gone when I arrived back to the table.
I spoke to the staff and said I had not finished, they said they had not taken the bottle as only half had been touched.  This in no way was the staffs fault, it was someone helping themselves.
They searched the bins out the back and could not even find the bottle as I was the only person who had decided to drink that Champagne.
The 'Yellow' people were looking very shady although I was not blaming them!
The staff and managers apologised and opened a new bottle for me to drink and I could not finish it, I know what a waste!
When 'Yellow' people left their table, the empty bottle had been stashed under their table.  I could not believe someone would steal a bottle of Champagne in a fine dining restaurant.
Anyway,
Hope you love the snaps from last Saturday, poor Mark Gatt out in the rain, I really did feel for him, but still getting allot of looks out of Herve.



Again Herve, and I know my hair down, you hardly ever see it, but my husband loves it down.

My favourite Prada bag that my husband purchased for me for mothers day for being pregnant with his first child.
Love the flower fairies.

When spotting the fake Prada flower fairies, they do not have the sheen on the leather and it is not supple,  the leather on the fakes is very hard.  

HMMM, yes, this is a replica of the Champagne in question, Gone Missing in Action!


Love a luncheon

Love Racing for a cause.




Houston we have a Problem!  My husband had spilled his drink over all his tips and it was only the 2nd race.
