is hosting an Exclusive Spring Racing Designer Sell & Shop Event on Thursday October 15^th at Hotel Nest in Albert Park Melbourne. The first of its kind, the event unites the ‘Fashed Up / Cash Poor ladies with the ‘Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget’ fashionistas. This exclusive event facilitates a chic-o-nomic way to prepare for the Melbourne Racing Carnival where women can Sell, Shop & Hire designer fashions over bubbles, massages and canapés in a stylish setting.

100 lucky ladies will be able to make some cash and grab a designer bargain over drinks and canapés whilst being attended to by hair and make-up artists, manicurists and massage therapists from Makeovers, Manicures & Martinis all while being entertained by MC Ann-Maree Biggar. Professional Stylist Bronny Fraser from Style Establishment will also be on hand to advise on how to pull a fabulous races outfit together. Design Industry trend forecaster and adviser Kate Vandermeer for iSpyStyle will present some of the hottest looks of the season and how to pull them together.

Once the frock is sorted, ladies will be able to move onto accessories with hip handbags and accessories for sale by Tribu, and, the all important icing on the cake, the hat from exclusive Melbourne Milliner Julie Fleming on hand to give advice and complete the perfect outfit.

 If the perfect outfit cannot be bought, there is also an opportunity to hire one of the latest designer dresses and handbags from Indian Giver and Style4Hire who will have product on hand to drool over and borrow for the big race days.
