Thumbs Up or Down for Nicole?

Derby Day in Melbourne..

Nicole Kidman at
Derby Day.

Nicole Kidman made an appearance at Derby Day in Melbourne over the week-end.   Whilst I love it that Nicole was there and added a glamour to The Melbourne Racing Carnival, I was a little disappointed in her outfit.  It's a bit "Gone with the Wind" don't you think?

Derby Day is traditionally Black and White, and I'm all for keeping the tradition thing going, and I loathe the fact that some girls go the races looking like they are going to a night club but I think Nicoles outfit is a bit daggy.  What do you think?

Tomorrow is the Melbourne Cup.

What are you all wearing?  Dress Me GC is doing nothing at this stage. For the first time ever I have nothing planned and to be honest I am not unhappy about it.  The champagne will still be flowing and yes we will be watching.   Sammy from 'The Cutting Room Floor' is happy to miss the festivities and keep me company. Cheers Sam. 

Have a great day whatever you do and wherever you are. I know this is the pot calling the kettle black, but drink lots of water, make sure your shoes are comfortable and please make sure you have a great time and drink stacks of champagne!  If you have any good photos please email Dress Me GC Headquarters.

The bikes!

The Noosa Tri is over.  What an event! We had a great time, despite a few hic-cups.



We did it!
The Swimmer, the Turtle
 and The Cyclist.

I forgot my sports bra, so after beg borrowing and stealing I ended up with a combination of a bonds t-shirt bra and a Lorna Jane crop top bra over the top. Fortunately my running shirt covered up the mismatched mess, and it did the trick - except for the grazes I have from the underwire.  Lucky I'm not wearing anything with a low cleavage in the next few days!  My run started at roughly 11:15am so it was bloody hot!! I ran like a turtle -  56mins - one of my slowest 10ks yet!

The Swimmer smashed her swim leg PB, but got lost finding The Cyclist.  It was actually quite funny, because we (me and the husbands) could see both The Cyclist and The Swimmer trying to find each other, and we were all yelling - oh the chaos!! There were thousands of bikes, so you can understand The Swimmers agony!  The cyclist smashed it and rode like a pro! It was a great event and I thoroughly enjoyed participating with the girls. Love of My Life was very patient and a good support. It's not easy trapsing around event precincts with kids in tow, waiting for me to return from a run. Thank-you.
