> Derby

So. If you’re getting weird looks from everyone it’s because you’re ORANGE.

Lets hope your spray tan goes down before tomorrow. Because it’s going to rain and although you won’t be solely responsible for the orange tainted water flowing through the gutters at Flemington, you’ll definitely be a contributor.

Have the best day, take flat shoes and carry a few emergency band aids. But most of all stay tuned for next weeks racing extravaganza here on Lady C.

And, if you’re not a race goer I hope you’ve managed to get Monday off and are taking a ridiculously long weekend.

> Fenton

If you haven’t set foot in Fenton, 377 Malvern Road South Yarra, do so immediately.

Escape into another world amongst a treasure trove of goodies collected by the Fenton Sisters from every corner of the earth.

Browse their collection of homewares, clothing, furniture, jewelry, antiques and art. And maybe, just maybe, if you buy something you’ll feel like you went on a trip to get it.

Aaahhh the powers of retail therapy.

MIMCO IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF.

$229 for a flimsy fascinator that half of Melbourne will be wearing this Spring Carnival.

RIDICULOUS.

That is all.

> Man-gift of the week

I get worried when men buy big things. I feel like sometimes they’re trying to compensate for something. Like Lord Farquhar and his castle in Shrek. However, if you buy them for him it’s completely different.

All men love BBQ’s. ALL. So there’s nothing better to get your man than a MASSIVE set of tongs.

These babies are about 16 inches long and could aid (and possibly improve) your mans meat cooking. Available at the Chefs Hat, South Melbourne.

> Emergency Feet

The races are fast approaching. Or, if you’re a Caulfield goer – already here!

And with the ridiculous fascinators that people are wearing these days come the show stopping heels that you see in everyone’s hands at the end of the day. Guilty.

I normally carry thongs in my handbag for such an occasion, however Cosgriff & Rizzardo have come up with the ultimate solution. Emergency feet. What a treat.

These compact ballet slippers fit perfectly in a clutch or handbag ready to put on before you get your first scabbed knee on Derby. Available at Sportsgirl from this weekend.

Nice one girls.
