Loving my gloves to add to the Racing Fashion look, but short well manicured nails are the look du jour.















Spring Carnvial is officially off and Racing with Caulfield Guineas being run yesterday. Well before Spring Carnvial the people of Racing are there every week rain hail and shine.
I was grateful to be invited to 'People in Racing' at Circa for the Starlight Children's Foundation of Australia. This gave me a chance of course to wear a wonderful hat and outfit and have conversations with Racing friends, but to also understand that the 'Sport of Kings' also holds philanthropy close to their hearts.
Often when attending the luncheons and drinking Champagne and watching these magnificent horses run, we forget to be mindful of others. I am fortunate to have made a platform of being the name 'Racing Fashion' and in association I will be working harder than ever in 2013 to bring forward more philanthropy and charity work.
I love feeling fantastic in beautiful clothes, but more importantly I was touched to sponsor a child for the Starlight Children's foundation. There are fantastic ways we can help and every dollar helps.
The Starlight Children's Foundation, has made it easier for us to help and grant wishes to children desperately in need of a little happiness that you and I take for granted on a daily basis.
The lunch was spectacular with mouth watering delicacies and sips of bubbles to bounce into the Carnival to come.
One mentor I adore and have always admired from a young age is the amazing Lillian Frank. She does have the social pages on a Saturday in the Herald/Sun and many would think of her as the higher echelon of Toorak, where in actual fact Lillian Frank is one of the most humble beautiful women I have met. I love talking to Lillian and learning from her. We have much to learn from mature members of the community that can tell us stories and places they have been and there journey to where they are now.
A delightful day was had by all.

Chanel, Dior, Largefeld, Madam Virtue, Names, Names, Names Darling!


In case you may have wondered where I was on Wednesday, it was not the opening of Zara. It was the wonderful Haute Couture Show of Madam Virtue that is located in Crossley Street Melbourne, where an unmentionable show host flaunted her birthday couture in aid of Racing Fashion.
Located behind the Prince in St Kilda the refurbished Circa Restaurant not only had our taste buds humming with delectable delights but the Laurent Pirrier danced on our taste buds to begin and dine through the formidable Couture.
Hosted by the Zestful Phillip Boon from 'Fashion Torque', with the ever lovable 'Jenny Bannister', we were treated to a spectacle of Haute Couture that is to rival Paris.
Although Winter flu did have me feeling under the weather, I was in Princess mode wearing Cassini, couturier to Jackie O, OH, no, not that Aussie one and Princess Grace. Thank you so much JC and Dean of Madam Virtue finding all my curves in all the right places with the perfect dress.
One thing is for sure when you are attending a Haute Couture event, it is all about the fashion that was far far ahead of anything I have seen in catwalks in Australia that I can remember. All Garments were flawless with the finest attention to detail. Embellished with Chanel and Pearls there were no errors just magnificence and huge applaud. JC and Dean take a bow.
Tom From Couturing www.couturing.com, always such a pleasure, you are a gem and the gorgeous www.cecylia.com it is such a wonderful place to be in wonderful company with other bloggers writers, reporting on our favourite thing. No rivalry amongst us only accolades to each others achievements. Thank you Madam Virtue and Circa, not to mention that we raised funds for the Prahran Mission for people in need. A day for mindfulness and fashion.
