L'Ormarins Queen's Plate 2014

Hello there sweets and compliments to the New Year. Relax,  I am not about to bore you with my endless list of New Year resolutions. However,I do apologise for staying away for too long - transitioning out of holiday mode has been so hard. This past Saturday I had a  date,well a rather a unplanned one at that: I woke up, the weather was great and I was bored.  That's when my date with the oldest distinguished royal horse-racing event on the social calendar began. Maintaining it's historical style and sophistication, the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate saw horse-racing enthusiasts and fashionistas alike parading in all things blue and white at Kenilworth racecourse of course. To be frank the fashion was just okay, nothing amazing but I can tell you this - it sure was hella have fun.

It was an elegance of occasions, while a burst of  all things blue and white reflected over the Kenilworth racecourse as thousands gathered for the prestigious 152nd L'Ormarins queen's plate. Fashions, entertainment and a variety of hospitality on offer  made for perfect place to share good wine with friends while enjoying the races.

I for one, finally broke my virginity to this calendar affair and actually learnt a thing or two about horses racing, sadly the horse my bet was on came out 6th in the million rand race, However It was nothing a bottle of the new L'Ormarins Brut Classique couldn't fix, I got a bit tipsy and It was back to doing what I was there for in the 1st place, fashion, fashion and more fashion. It was truly a fun day.
