Sally plays the waiting game

sally grahamSTYLE is to be set, not followed, says model Sally Graham.
As the face of this year’s Spring Fashion Week, Graham, 23, is waiting to see what other women wear before picking something different.
“I’m already predicting what a lot of women will be wearing and I’ll try to get away from that with something vintage,” she said.
“I’ll be looking at something pretty instead of the normal strapless cocktail dress and I’m thinking of making my own hat. I’m very traditional. I’ll wear a hat, not a fascinator. I really love hats.”
She is way behind schedule and expects to decide on her outfit the day before, if not the day, of the event.
She is going to the Caulfield Cup with girlfriends and is hoping to go to either Derby Day or Oaks.
“I have some friends coming over from Adelaide and they’ll all come with me,” she said.
While she likes the simplicity of black and silver, which is the perfect colour combination for matching strong accessories, Graham is also keen to embrace colour this year, with a floral print.
The Adelaide-born model has never attended the Melbourne carnival before, but she has been to the races in Adelaide.
“The Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival is so well-known and it’s a celebration of this time of year, the end of winter and we can feel summer coming,” she said.

Miranda’s up for the Caulfield Cup

miranda kerrINTERNATIONAL supermodel Miranda Kerr has confirmed she will be a starter at this year’s Caulfield Cup.
The glamorous face of David Jones, currently in St Barts in the Caribbean shooting the latest Victoria’s Secret campaign, will jet into town on Thursday to attend the race day.
She’ll join another face of the retail giant, Megan Gale, racewear ambassador Kate Waterhouse, Olympic champion Grant Hackett and his wife Candice Alley, and trainers Lee Freedman and Gai Waterhouse in the exclusive David Jones marquee.
Leading Australian designers Alex Perry and Lisa Ho have designed stylish and sexy racewear for Gale and Kerr to sport on the day.
The turf wars are heating up this Spring Racing Carnival, with Caulfield Cup Day giving Flemington a run for its money.
With David Jones signing on as a major sponsor for five years and Channel 9 ramping up the television coverage, this Caulfield Cup Day is shaping up to be the biggest yet – although it has risen from quite a low level.
It’s not so long ago that the event’s dress de rigeur was better suited to a nightclub and the majority of attendees appeared to be barely past legal drinking age.
But this year an extensive list of celebrity guests, at least in the exclusive marquees, including David Jones and the Pegasus Club, will be suitably frocked up and feasting on champagne and fine food.
“I’ve never been to Caulfield before, but I did make it to the Autumn Racing Carnival in Sydney this year with David Jones,” Kerr said.
“If Caulfield Cup is half as fun then it will be such a great day out and I’m really looking forward to it.”
While her boyfriend, Hollywood star Orlando Bloom, joined her in Sydney last year, he is busy working and won’t be trackside at Caulfield.
