Spring is coming! In just a few weeks, Adelaide will be ablaze with colourful blossoms and the smell of good times ahead. Getting dressed up and going to the races with your girlfriends has got good times written all over it. As part of Fashion at The Races this year, you can win the ultimate Asian holiday with 10 days in Hong Kong, Macau and Shanghai and you’ll also attend the 2016 Longines Hong Kong International. Second prize is amazing too — $3,000 shopping and private styling session with BNKR. I’m in! The next chance to enter is at Balaklava Cup 2nd Sept.
Some of us (including me) need a little Spring Racing inspo, so the lovely Melissa Barnes – the owner and creator of Adorn Collection, bespoke millinery creations for racing enthusiasts and lovers of fashion, is going to share with us some great people to follow for Spring Racing inspo.

When I put together my own outfits I take bits and pieces from styling I’ve seen or brands I follow online. By combining a range of styles you can add your own personality to the look you want to achieve which ensures you won’t be wearing the same outfit as someone else on the day! These are my top Instagram accounts that I follow for race day fashion inspo.

I aspire to the creativity and standards of these amazing milliners. Their work is so innovative and beautiful. I love watching their spring creations come to life in the lead up to big race days throughout the year.
