Whether you and your friends are going to attend the Spring Racing Carnival track side or donning a fascinator in the office on Melbourne Cup day for the office sweep stakes is more your thing. Traditional race wear and beauty is completely out dated, gone are the days of huge flying saucer hats and tacky feathery fascinators. Here is the Beauté Gazette guide to alternative race wear accessories and beauty.
Satin pink bow headband from ASOS $11.95
This adorable little headband is my perfect balance of pretty and elegant without being an over the top eyesore. It is also under $15.00! Horray for a wallet friendly price point, leaving you more money to spend on champagne on the day.

Gold drop earrings with rose quartz by Amy Tamblyn $75.00
How absolutely adorable are these earrings? It was love at first sight when I spied them. They sit perfectly on the earlobe and are so light you cannot feel any weight whilst wearing them, which is what you need when you are going to out all day and night for Melbourne Cup shinanigans.

Surface To Air Arabella Suglasses $129.00
I love sunglasses that are expressive of your personality and mood, these Surface To Air Arabella's are my new obsession. The pastel blue colour is unexpectedly chic and goes well worn with so many different outfits. The races are a time to leave your serious glasses at home and have some fun with your eye wear, also don't forget that glasses are your number one accessory when champagne is being consumed before midday.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream EDP $60.00-$120.00
When swanning around the race track you need a fresh, flirty fragrance, no heave notes that will weigh, steer clear of Ambers and Patchoulli and gravitate to florals with top notes of Jasmine and freesia. Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream is the perfect fragrance for a long day at the races, it will make you feel fresh and floral all day long.
