Behold - my actual outfit for the Ladies day event! After tirelessly trying on outfits till nearly midnight the night before, this is what I ended up wearing! Given more time, I most definitely would have brought a dress for the occasion, but in this instance I had to scrounge my wardrobe! Now you all know I'm not an overly formal dresser, unless it comes to weddings, etc, so you have no idea how hard it was to stop myself putting a leather jacket on! I was even contemplating ditching the fascinator but once I was there I happily wore it perched on top of my head! You all most definitely have to check out the stunning outfits from the Festival, but in particular ladies day, as the Colour me march campaign mean't everyone was decked out in beautiful, bold colours!

After a leisurely drive up to Cheltenham and admiring the beautiful houses, I met the lovely guys at Etail PR where I collected my tickets, had a little chat and a glass of prosecco! After meeting a few bloggers we decided to venture down the race course together. As you can see we were utterly spoiled with drinks, food and endless supplies of afternoon tea! Everyone was incredibly hospitable and we were extremely well looked after, we were even given these stunning bouquets from iflorist, just for 'looking lovely!' The atmosphere was incredible, and given I didn't know what to expect from the event, I would thoroughly recommend anyone and everyone to give a go, it truly is an experience!

It was an absolute pleasure to meet some new blogging beauties! I spent the day with Olivia, Leah and Natasha, prancing our way around the race course, placing ruthless bets and having some cheeky tipples! Unfortunately I didn't get enough time to meet all of the bloggers there, but hopefully next year I will make it an absolute priority! 

Be sure to check the girls blogs out below for endless inspiration and also for their own experiences at the races!

And of course I spent the journey back and following days with my Uggs snuggly glued to my feet, the numb toes were most definitely worth the friendships made and memories!
