Kaleidoscope got in touch this week to ask me if I'd like to blog about my perfect race day. I can't tell you how effortless this post was to write ... well, I say that - it was easy to describe what I'd do (it's basically a diary entry of what the girls and I do anyway) but when I looked at their site I had to really focus and concentrate. I could have created around 50 outfits from the lovely things they have online. I've actually never known a site to have so many good staple items - statement dress, handbag and shoes and mix and match and match and mix - voila a ton of race day outfits (see below).
Now back to what we do on Ladies Day at Newbury Racecourse.
We always start the day at one of the girls houses with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and bagels - mmm
We swiftly move on to the only thing you can drink at 9am. I AM LYING. We START with champagne and then move on to food!
After salmon and bubbles we taxi to the venue and away we go to the champagne tent. Do you see a theme here?!
Here are the outfits I would happily wear if I were going this year and if I had Kaleidoscope to dress me.

Trust you to put multiple outfits together. But which one is your favourite Fi? I love the last one the most I think. Now a group of bloggers at the races......there's an idea xx
ReplyDeleteI HAD to put lots together because I really couldn't decide!
DeleteI ADORE both dresses - I can't call between the two!
Love all your choices, my fav is number 6. What Chinese do you recommend.

That is so funny! Which one?!
DeleteI love the first dress! Great print & price! This is such fun & I can't wait to hear the result on Friday! Ax
ReplyDeleteThat first dress is so good for dress up dress down. I don't buy clothes for one off wears.
DeleteI wonder if we will know the winner? Good luck to everyone!
I love the first outfit best!! The shift dress is fab!! Some brilliant pick throughout the outfits!! xx
ReplyDeleteI want to go to the races now dressed up!!
DeleteI like the fist dress the best, so versatile & a great price! Love the colours in it too. I went to Newbury races a couple of years ago & saw Tom Jones! x
ReplyDeleteLOL Remember it well! I also saw Jessie J!
DeleteMost definitely like the last outfit best. Its the splash of cerise that does it I think !
ReplyDeleteI won the first time I went to the races and have lost every time since.
It is always a great place to people watch

I do love a bit of bright pink it has to be said!
DeleteI never gamble/waste my money!!!
Love the last outfit Fiona! We actually have the races on in Punchestown near our town this week so there is a fabulous atmosphere around! I have gone to them in the past and it is always a great day out:)

Our town is ALWAYS busy on race days, agree it's a great atmosphere but highly annoying if you go to town not realising they're on!!!
DeleteBoth those dresses are lovely Fiona and you have styled them all beautifully! x
