The race that stops a nation...

...is unfortunately not stopping my day at work. But nevermind - there will be celebrations and plenty of good food and champagne downed by mid afternoon, I'm sure.

So although I am chained to my desk for the day, and not even in the same state as the Melbourne Cup for that matter, it doesn't stop me wanting to buy a whole heap of pretty fascinators, does it? Of course not. If I was headed to the racetrack today you can bet (ha.. get it!) I'd be wearing this pretty (giant) bow by Hopelessly Devoted on Etsy. Hopelessly adorable!
