Exciting news on Bec Boop today, I’m going to my first UK horse-racing meet! You all know I’m a massive fan of the Galway Races and attend this festival every year in Ireland. Well I couldn’t believe my luck when I was invited along to the Bet365 festival featuring the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury Racecourse next month! Woop-woop! Now that I’ve calmed down (ever so slightly) it’s time to begin the outfit planning. Racing fashion is one of my favourite styles, in fact I’d be quite happy if I could indulge in this style more often. I’ve taken this as an opportunity to reflect on my racing fashion resumé to date as an inspirational starting point.
Since the Newbury Races is one of the biggest social events of the Winter I’m going to have to adapt my normal racing fashion style for the chillier weather. Some initial ideas which I’ve seen trending on instagram and pinterest for Winter race meets might include a cape, boots or faux fur accessories. I must also begin thinking of the hat/headpiece. The majority of my racing fashion outfits have featured a hat by Irish Milliner Mark Garvie and the pleasure has been all mine in styling them with each look.
You can also win tickets to the Bet365 festival by entering using the widget below and a John Lewis shopping voucher to complete your perfect outfit! This year looks set to be an extra-special event given that it is the 250th anniversary of the Hennessy Gold Cup. If all that isn’t enough, there’s also an exclusive discount code for Bec Boop readers for tickets, keep reading for all the details.
