Derby Day

Where else in the world do you come across a series of events that mixes sport with high fashion, gambling, and drinking? The Aussies love their horse races & today is Derby Day. So whether you're watching the races on the telly or you're lucky enough to be at the racetrack in Victoria, be sure to dress in black & white and remember these few dos and don'ts: 

• Don't wear a strapless dress.
• Do drink water (between your glasses of champers) to stay hydrated.
• Don't forget to wear sunscreen.
• Do wear sensible shoes that won't have you sinking into the field or walking home barefoot at the end of the day.
• Don't let your hat & dress compete against one another. Allow one to take the spotlight.
• Do take a small handbag. Nobody wants to carry around a heavy purse all day.
• Don't pull an Eliza Doolittle:

• Do get inspired by these derby day hats, dresses, shoes, & bags.
