Melbourne Spring Racing Festival

We are 2 days into the Melbourne Spring Racing Festival.

Missed it? Not to fear, here is your catch-up.

Black and white, are not only my favourite colours, but the colours of Derby Day.

Jodie Anasta (nee-Gordon) stunned in a Toni Maticevski skirt. As my earlier prediction, midi skirts were all the rage - and Jodie nailed the A-line look.

The stand-out on the day, was none other that Ms. Myer (or should I say Mrs) herself, Jennifer Hawkins. Wearing a lace dress by good friend, Alex Perry - Jen landed herself on the top of everyone's best dressed list.

In today's Melbourne Cup, there was a clear winner. No one came close to this filly, and that was WAG Nadia Bartel in Johnny Schembri (finalist on Project Runway), hatinator by De Millinery. Looking like a picture of perfection in grey - with the frills in all the right places, the perfect pony, and the on-point accessories, anyone that backed this winner would have cleaned up in their sweep.

There were 2 real heroes of the races - that astonish us time, and time again. That is make-up extraordinaire Chantelle Baker, and hair whiz Marie Uva; aka 'The A Team'.

You know you can do no-wrong if your beauty and hair needs are being looked after by these 2 lovely ladies.

Here is a close-up of their work on Nadia at Melbourne Cup, and Jen at Derby Day.

It's all about the smokey eyes, the highlighted cheek bones/bridge of the nose, the nude lips - and the blonde slight waves (no beach waves in sight).

Until Oaks Day...
