There was a welcome break in the wild weather for The Lexus
Chase day at Leopardstown on 28th December. Ladies arriving in their
finery were thanking their lucky stars that the sun was shining for the glamorous
ladies day festivities.
The prize up for grabs was a €5,000 voucher to spend in
Brown Cow and a luxury two night B&B stay at the beautiful Mount Juliet. Xpose’s
Lisa Canon was the judge on the day. She looked beautiful as always and she
wore a Philip Tracey hat for the occasion. There was also a lot of interest in
her accessories as a few women surrounded her to get a look at the beautiful
diamond engagement ring on her hand.
The Palles Clan are always in attendance at Christmas. It is
one of the best festivals of the year and the fashion never disappoints.
Thankfully the marquee was still standing after the gales and rain the previous
day. Everyone was in good spirits and
that Christmas cheer was in the air.
There was a great mix of styles on the day, from a Victorian
inspired full length coat, to a modern feather Mohawk hat by Mark T Burke. The
rich berry tones and furs were turning heads throughout the day. We spotted a
race goer in one of our PrincessPalles hats, bought from Ruby Rouge in Gorey.
It’s wonderful to see a piece on a strangers head!
Our own Princess Lorraine was picked as a top ten finalist
for the ladies day title. She bagged a
prize worth over €200 in products from Vita Liberata. Nice!
Lorraine wore a coat from Miss Selfridge, belt from tk maxx,
shoes from Pennys and a custom PrincessPalles hat.
Lisa announced Suzanne McGarry as the winner. Suzanne wore a
beautiful vintage camel coat with amazing fur cuffs bought from ebay.
Underneath was a matching camel dress. Her hat was camel and cream to tie in
with the outfit. She looked really elegant and a very worthy winner.
We didn’t have a whole lot of winners in the racing but our
day was really fun filled with all the crazy Palles’. We went a bit mad in the
photo booth!
