Such a fun, fun day at Melbourne Cup this year! I had the best day with these two ladies, Lou my sister in law and Lisa from See Want Shop.

Cup Day is all about leaving the black and white of Derby behind and having some fun with your fashion and this is what I made sure I did this year. Being pregnant I am too small for maternity wear and too bumpy for a regular size 8 (unless its stretchy) so I approached an up and coming designer from Melbourne School of Fashion, Jamie Dark to make me a dress! We had a great time designing my dress, making it pregnant friendly, fashion fun and to work with my cherry headpiece.
