The Melbourne Cup is only a lace gloved handful of days away. The question is what will you be wearing. Milliners around town are busy customizing buttons and dying feathers. If you still haven’t organized your headwear be prepared for a anxious grimace when you enter your hat makers hallowed door.

Stylists around town whispered in my ear that celebrities will be wearing pastels, pretty florals and crisp whites this season. Last years reign of digital prints will come to an end, to be replaced by ladylike lacy detailing and arty, flowery fabrics.

The recent Caulfield Cup saw many petaled hats and hot pink to peachy hues. Channel your inner princess and make a graceful entrance.
