The Racing Issue - Part 1

Danielle Statham showcased her latest collection at Toscana last night. It was amazing. The work and detail involved in the making of her pieces are second to none. The prices were reasonable too. Having done Millinery I know the amount of work involved.

Have a look at Danielles website: http://daniellestatham.com.au/ or ring Judith at Toscana: 07 5538 3330.

With Milliner
Danielle Statham

Danielle has just returned from Paris spending time with one of the oldest couture flower artisans in France. Danielle also worked with Milliners in France who have worked with Diana, Princess of Wales, and HRH her Majesty the Queen and the Queen Mother. The Millinery artworks Danielle created have been bought back to Australia for sale in the "once upon a time collection" for Spring 2012.

Last nights showing at Toscana was perfect and was both professional and intimate. All the headpieces in these photos are Danielles work. My photos do not do them justice. And yes I do look lop-sided (and fat) in the photo. Blogger I am - Model I am not!

If you are going to Melbourne

For the any of the races, make sure you have two outfits planned. A summer one and a winter one. Love of my life and I went with friends a few years ago and the temperature didn't go over 14 degrees all day. It was freezing. The summer dress and strappy heels got the flick and I ended up in knee high boots, big black jacket etc... It didn't matter....after a few champagnes I thought I looked fantastic! Watching the horses thundering down the straight and seeing the crowds rise to their feet was one experience I will never forget.

No matter what you do on Melbourne Cup Day make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Remember the "Vanity overrides Practicality" blog? http://dressmegc.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/vanity-overrides-practicality.html. Don't do it on Cup Day. No matter how much you love the shoes or how good they go with the outfit, if you can't walk in them - ditch them!

The Simply the Breast cocktail party is on tomorrow night. I hope my Gawdy Girl is still holding up! lol! I'll let you know what she goes for - if she goes! lol!
