I’ve had a really lucky weekend to kick off Frocktober– it’s been full of events where I would naturally wear a dress and the races is certainly no exception. I find that I usually start to struggle a bit a week or two in(you know the days where you just want to pull on a pair of jeans and be done with it) but by the end of October I’ve forgotten what its like to wear a pair of pants!
I digress, yesterday I was invited to attend the Westfield Doncaster Styling Suite at Turnbull Stakes day which is a preview day to kick off the Spring Racing Carnival here in Melbourne. You all know I’m a fan of dressing for the occasion so as it was cool with the possibility of rain I went with long sleeves but made sure I was wearing something nice and bright. This is one of my favourite dresses, I haven’t owned it for very long considering I tend to hold on to things for years even if I don’t wear them anymore. It’s pure silk and as it’s a block colour I find it really ‘easy.’ But I’m not alone I’m sure- you must have a go to dress that makes you feel fab when you wear it?
This post is also a first for Lady Melbourne- I have never done a post with photos taken on my phone, but as I discovered when I dived into my bag to fetch my camera yesterday I had left home sans SD card. The day HAD to be photographed however so I thought I’d snap away on my phone(its a HTC Incredible S and I love it almost as much as my Mac Book. Reminds me of this video) and if the photos were good enough I’d post them.
Considering the size of the tiny lens I am amazed at how well these photos turned out.

I just love this dress and the colour. It is so fun and fresh. I’ve been toying with the idea of heading to the races for about a month, but after seeing this I think I need to purchase some tickets.
I did my first ever phone photo post last week and was surprised to find I quite liked it too. Great colour for a dress!x
Why on Earth is your lovely bag lying on the floor? Where is the bag hook that I gave you Phebes? Xx
Amazing dress, and great quality photos for a phone camera.
The blue dress looks divine especially with the blues skys in the background.Hope you had a great day. many more to come?
darling , you look amazing! your dress is fabulous! xxx Stella
Absolutely divine! You look incredibly chic. Thank you for showing that races attire should be about looking ladylike, not looking like you are about to hit the clubs.
xo, L.
That colour is killer!
Ok, It’s official, I would much rather be where you were yesterday than where I was! Spring racing is so much fun and it looks like you made the most of it in that gorgeous dress!
Good luck with Frocktober, If anyone can do it well it’s you!
xx
Love it 🙂 You’re certainly frocking up! Struggled not to put jeans on today… but the little black dress (in one of it’s infinite incarnations) saved me. Day 3… the does not bode well!
