A few weeks a go, you would have seen over on my Instagram and Snapchat that I attended the ever so quintessentially British, Goodwood Races. I attended the Dove 100 Colours Ladies Day event, which if you saw the pictures online you’ll have seen it was incredibly colourful. As Dove were hosting the event they had challenged me to wear my brightest colours and to be colour confident to celebrate theirInvisible Drydeodorant, which has been proven to leave zero marks on 100 colours. As someone who has used only Dove deodarants for years I was absolutely more than happy to take on this challenge. The reason I love Dove deo’s so much is that they come in so many different scents and have a 1/4 moisturising property which means that they leave your underarms super soft. And then of course they don’t leave any white marks.
Normally I would opt for a more muted coloured outfit or even black so for me this colour confident challenge was definitely out of my comfort zone. Trying to be as colourful as possible I wore an absolutely stunning Ted Baker Skirt, with the most beautiful pink and purple flowers all over it. I then paired it with a very bright pink cold should cami, my new favourite lilac Jimmy Choo’s, and then a huge baby pink hat.
Also, you may have seen me talking about this necklace on snapchat as I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s an 18k white gold initial G necklace from a brand called 77 diamonds who do the most incredible jewellery and this piece is from their new Monologue Collection. The range contains stunning initials in 18k white gold, yellow gold and rose gold with the prettiest diamond accents. At the moment you can get 10% off the whole Monologue Collection by using the code LONDONLIFE. I think this is the perfect piece if you’re looking for an extra special gift for someone or just if you fancy treating yourself and as it’s not plated metal it will last a lifetime!
I’m a big fan of the races and was lucky enough to be in a box right by the race course which gave the best view for cheering on the horses. We were absolutely spoilt during the day and were treated to a seriously delicious 3 course lunch, which followed by an afternoon tea. Is there anything more British that a day at the races and afternoon tea?
Being a truly British summer time the heavens opened halfway through the day and let me tell you, I’ve never felt happier to have our own little space in doors to watch the final races without getting wet. Unfortunately I didn’t hit the jackpot during my day at Goodwood but I did venture outside my comfort box of wearing neutral colours and wore a super bright outfit, which I absolutely loved.
