<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">On Saturday I had the pleasure of being one of <b><a href="http://clinique.com.au/">Clinique</a></b>'s special guests at the <b>Moët & Chandon Spring Champion Stakes Day</b> at Royal Randwick. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">The spring racing season is in full swing, so my outfit of choice was a bit of a rule breaker. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Just as felt hats should be reserved for the autumn carnival, I'm almost certain another rule says black should be avoided and leather is 100% inappropriate, but this Dion Lee dress was just too good to resist. </span></div>
