I’m totally geared up for this year’s Melbourne Cup, and while I’ll be bringing the trackside glamour to my office (#girlboss), I’m excited to share with you fashionista’s, my tips and tricks to looking fabulous on the field in 4 simple steps!

1. The Feminine Frock

When it comes to Melbourne Cup fashion, I like to keep things classic and feminine, which is reflected in my choice of dress. Since Seduce dropped their latest spring collection, I have been lusting over this little monochromatic number, the Alexa dress. From the sheer panelled bodice, to the lacey hemline, this piece becomes the perfect little races ensemble, allowing for versatility in the choice of headwear and accessories. Also, check out Shopbop’s selection of gorgeous cocktail dresses for the occasion!

2. Striking Headwear

Fascinators, headbands and hats – oh my! It’s a tough choice to decide upon the perfect headwear for your outfit, but I recommend going for something striking! Think texture, colour or structure, but make sure your headwear harmonises with the rest of your ensemble. The trends predicted for this year’s Melbourne Cup headwear include metallic crowns, smaller structured hats and veils. I’m taking my inspiration from Jen Hawkins, who graced the Myer racewear lookbook wearing a lace veiled fascinator – HOT! I’m also lusting over a few pieces from Shopbop’s hair accessories category, perfect for the low maintenance pony.

3. Bold Lips

When it comes to beauty, one of the quickest ways to create that racing WOW factor, is with a bright, bold kisser. The latest lip range from Napoleon Perdis highlights vibrant pinks and candy corals, with sheer, glossy finishes. I myself am going for the classic red lip to enhance my porcelain skin (and match my killer mani of course).

4. Bring The Bling

Curating a stand out outfit requires attention to detail, and your choice of jewellery helps to add the final sparkle. Layered rings and fine pendants are very on trend this season, and Pandora’s Magnificent Kingdom collection features some exquisite pieces, so layer up ladies!

I would love to see you all dressed up to the nines and looking gorgeous next Tuesday, so feel free to snapchat me your outfits, tbsilhouette! x

St Frock Meant To Be Lace Dress, Pandora Lace Botanique Rings & Pendant, Michael Kors Selma Medium Messanger Bag (available via Shopbop), Wittner Alice Heels.

A simple Sunday calls for a girly getaway, where I pack a light handbag (in this case my new Michael Kors) and escape busy Brisbane. For this little adventure, my friend Jess and I drove to the gorgeous Mt Tamborine, where we took in the beautiful views of the Hinterland, surrounded ourselves in fresh flora and enjoyed a leisurely high tea at Tea & Niceties.

For such a ladylike occasion, I dress accordingly, wearing a feminine, lacy number from St Frock, teamed with golden, floral gems from Pandora’s Magnificent Kingdom collection. As for my beauty routine, I’m keeping it sweet, simple with a hint of girl next door glam, with soft waves and neutral tones.

After spicy tea variations, with two sugar cubes and sweets, I’m swapping my seat for a gentle stroll throughout the garden, embracing a whimsical spirit and enjoying the delicate florals. The pinky tones of the setting sun, make a scenic backdrop for the drive home, ending a beautiful day. Bisous, bisous!

Worn together, or on their own, the Timeless Elegance Set creates a sophisticated statement, perfect for a fancy dinner date, or in my case, an afternoon of tea and trinkets.

Tibi Blanca Lace Jumpsuit (available at Shopbop), Wittner Rover Heels, Amber Sceats Double Pearl Necklace (available at Tyson & Peppa), Tyson & Peppa Double Pearl Cuff (similar style here), Pandora Crystallised Floral Ring, Pandora Luminous Leaves Pearl & Silver Ring.

Making it’s first appearance at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival this year, this Tibi Blanca Lace Jumpsuit has been on high rotation this spring, quickly becoming one of my favourite pieces to wear. What instantly drew me to this jumpsuit was the geometric style lace patterning, that features a partially lined bodice and shorts. With each wear I am reminded just how comfy this piece is, with it’s wide-leg pant and adjustable, tie up back. But the best news of all, is that this jumpsuit is on sale as we speak, so head on over to Shopbop tout suite!

When styling a jumpsuit, I always recommend heels over flats to help elongate the legs. I know I’ve blogged these babies a hundred times over, but that’s only because I’m living in these Wittner Rover Heels. Last I checked there’s nothing wrong with a girl who loves her staple black stilettos.

Totally spoilt for jewellery, I’ve collected some new shiny pieces from Pandora’s Magnificent Kingdom collection, with each piece completely magical, feminine and fabulous. You’ll see I’m sporting some serious finger bling, wearing the Crystallised Floral Ring and two of the Luminous Leaves Pearl & Silver Ring. You may recognise the double drop Amber Sceats pearl necklace I’m wearing, which is complemented by a pearl cuff, both of which were gifted to me by the lovely Josh of Tyson & Peppa.

With a full bodied curl and a pop of coral lippy, I’m ready to stand out in the dark, don’t stop me now x
