Hello there! I am finally back after a very inconsistent summer and hiatus for the past little bit. My apologies…but there are a lot of exciting things coming up and I cannot wait to share it with all of you. 

First out of the gate (pun intended) is my wonderful experience at the Woodbine Racetrack this past Sunday. As to how I found myself among these beautiful horses and watching them race was all thanks to Dan Tordjman from America's Best Racing! Dan and his team set up this amazing opportunity for some Toronto bloggers/writers/influencers to experience a day at the races.

For me, I have never really been exposed to horse racing besides having maybe gone once or twice when I was very young. So when it came time to dressing for the event I was at a loss for inspiration/ and point of reference. Thankfully, I found these gorgeous pair of culottes from Topshop the other day and knew instantly that they were what I was going to wear. It ended up being quite chilly the morning of the race so I paired an oatmeal sweater with the blue vest for a full pastel look. And of course I had to wear boots to visit the stables! 

The start of the day began with a tour of the stables and training facilities where we got speak with expert trainers, breeders and racing experts. We even got to get up close and personal with one of the most amazing horses in racing today- Escaper (See pictures below)! After the exciting tour, we had all afternoon to lounge, eat, drink, watch and bet on the races. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my Sunday and loved the opportunity I got to meet all these amazing people. Horse racing is such an amazing sport and everyone, if they have a chance, should check it out. I guarantee you will be amazed at how beautiful these horses are and the speeds that they race at. 

Here are some pictures from my day:
