Given how much I love traditional British summer events, getting dressed up and um, sipping on prosecco all day, it's hard to believe I'd never actually made it to Ascot until a couple of weekends ago. Invited along with a few other gorgeous ladies by the lovely girls at Wallis, I had the best day indulging in some delicious food, placing some poor bets and wearing the most beautiful total Wallis outfit – all from the comfort of our very plush private box!
After travelling down together from London, we kicked off the day with canapés and bubbles on our terrace before taking a seat for an incredible 4-course lunch at the table set up so beautifully for us! Giving ourselves a little break before dessert, we wandered down to the stalls below to place our first bets and get a close look at the magnificent horses. Having been to the races a few times when I was younger, I forgot how exhilaratingly fun it is right up by the course cheering your horse on as they thunder past! Unfortunately, I didn't win anything all day but still had so much fun having a go – even if they were only £2 bets hehe.
I don't like to go to OTT with occasion wear, but absolutely adored my outfit for Ascot. I had so many compliments on this gorgeous ruffle lilac dress. Super figure flattering with the most gorgeous neckline, it's a perfect choice for weddings, races or summer parties this season. Not to mention how gorgeous the colour looks with a tan. I teamed it with a simple white jacket (we are in the UK after all!), my Gucci Marmont and some killer gorgeous suedette grey heels by Wallis that I'm just so obsessed with.
You can shop the whole look below and be sure to check out Wallis' entire occasion range here. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed this post and have a fresh dose of inspiration for your upcoming summer events!
