Pulling out all the stops for the final event of the carnival - Stakes Day - wearing an absolutely stunning black mesh flared midi dress with silver & gold embroidery, satin lining & tulle underlay (once again) from formal wear maestro Anthea Crawford. I've styled it up with a pair of vintage-inspired black vegan leather dual buckle heels from Kitten D'Amour, a velvet knot bag & matching velvet & faux pearl headband from Spanish boutique Swinging Chicks Shop (discovered on online emporium Etsy), a chunky Victorian silver bracelet with heart locket & teeny tiny key from Kellie's Antiques that a dear friend gave me for my 30th birthday & finally, a brushed silver cuff from Wallace Bishop for that extra touch of daytime shine.
