Today is Melbourne Cup Day – the day that Melburnians get a public holiday to watch a horse race! The best thing I like about the Spring Racing Carnival is catching glimpses of ladies and gents in their racewear finery trickling around town which as they near Flemington racecourse, turns into a full flood of hats and flash [...]

Over the next fortnight, I’ll be sharing the racewear [...]
