And They're Off




Hunter Royal Horticultural Society Wellies 

Today i went to the Epsom Derby and what a dilemma i had on what to wear. The weather was predicated to be thunder storms, heavy rain and even a weather warning had been given all week - was i to wear my #hunter +RoyalHortSocietyVIC wellies? Or was the rain going to stop and i could get all glammed up and not look like i was going to a festival?

Shoes - Dune Decorum T-Bar in Pewter
Fascinator - Debenhams

As you can see the sun came out and i was glammed up and ready to hit the race track. I was going to wear a white summer dress, but after going through my wardrobe and throwing quite a few dresses on the bed i remembered i had this classic +Armani Exchange dress that i bought in New York 2 years ago for $20 - what a bargain. The dress is so lovely and light and is tiny dots of grey and blue with a matching reversible tie belt (not seen). It has 3/4 length sleeves and sits just on my knee. I have worn this dress a few times in emergencies and it never fails to look great. I wish that i had bought more designs whilst i was there. I matched the dress with my +Dune London Decorum T-Bar shoes in pewter with a 5" black contrast heel and as i didn't want to take a black clutch as i wanted to pop the blue in the dress i decided to use my Dune navy blue ipad case. This case was large enough for me to carry everything i needed for the day, including my Butterfly fold up pumps for the walk back to the train station. The look was finished off with a black fascinator that i had purchased in +Debenhams a few years ago, my classic +Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a slick of +Avon lipstick in Smitten Red, finished with my +Shellac Colors manicure. I wanted to take a camera that would fit in my bag, and remembered my new +Nokia 1020 phone in bright yellow has an excellent 40 mega pixel camera and has taken some great shots of the day.
