Derby Day Highlights for Lexus and Lavazza 2015

Can you believe it is the 1st of November today, and I already have a cray cray super organised friend who has already put up her Christmas Tree!? Let’s just park Christmas aside for moment, because the most anticipated Melbourne event of the year has kick started – it’s Derby Day at the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

Driving into Flemmington Racecourse was quite horrendous with the downpour of rain, but thankfully the weather held up and all the fashionistas turned up in their stylish monochromatic outfits for a fabulous time at the Lexus and Lavazza Marquee.

My favourite outfits of the day (in no particular order) were Jess Dempsey in Dolce & Gabana lace ensemble as dressed by the Outnet.com and headpiece by Danika; Jacqui Felgate in Nicholas the label and Milinery Jill big bow head piece; Helen (Designer for Thurley) in her own custom designed Thurley dress ; Kate Waterhouse in white Stella McCartney top and wide legged pants and Nerida Winter hat; Margaret Zhang in Dion Lee and Sarina Suriano Jewel headpiece; Jessica Gomes in Ellery’s trademark bell sleeved dress; and the beautiful ladies in Louis Vuitton.

Anyway, I’ll let you decide … enjoy the snaps! For more images, please visit What Would Karl Do.

Special love and appreciation to S.Wallis for dressing me this year to keep me comfortable and stylish xxx

Oaks Day Lavazza Marquee 2014

My fave look of the day was the cute striped navy outfit, meeting Samantha Jade who looked stunning in Demillinery headpiece, and hanging out with my all time favourite girl, Alexia Petsinis who handmade her beautiful green dress. Enjoy the highlights!

Melbourne Cup Day Lavazza Marquee 2014

I just want to start this post by thanking you guys for the overwhelming positive response to all my images on What Would Karl Do blogsite, Instagram, Facebook and even walking up to me to tell me in person! Wow thank you so much! What amazed me the most is when I woke up this morning, I found my image of Lindy and Michael Klim’s Louboutin heels on Louboutinworld’s Instagram feed (over 3.4M followers) with 73K likes, I mean that’s incredible, and the fact that they acknowledged our work shows me how ethically and the respect they have for other creative’s work.

You see, I love Louboutin’s trademark red shoes because it was only 3 years ago I went to Paris to visit their infamous store on 19 Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 75001 Paris to buy my very first pair of Louboutin heels (patent violet heels) as Parisian souvenir. The store manager who served me at the time even let me in on a secret back then that an Australian lady was opening up a store in Sydney! It has surely come to pass!

Here’s the image that’s going viral (thanks for the regrams too):

Anyway, grab a Lavazza coffee and enjoy some highlights I have for you from Melbourne Cup Day. Feel free to leave me any comments as I would love to hear from you x
