Held on the last Saturday of January every year, it is the gathering of the rich and famous; the fashion savvy and those who seek to explore the intensity of life in the craziness of the crowds of over 50 000.
Socially, the J&B Met is renowned throughout the country as one of the most prestigious events in the Cape Town calendar. It is a celebration of 'beauty and magnificance', with 'majestic thoroughbreds' and beautiful people.
I was lucky enough to win 2 free tickets to the marquee!
The J&B Met will be held on the 29th of January 2011 at the Kenilworth Racecourse. Theme: Larger than Life. Tickets start at R165, gates open at 10am. Hope to see you there :)

A Day of Glamour at the Queens Plate
On January the 8th I made my way to Kenilworth Racecourse to take part in a day of glitz and glamour known as the L'Ormarins Queens Plate.
"The 150th running of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate will celebrate the royal history of this premier horse race with a gathering of the most noble thoroughbreds in Africa. Since 1861, when this race was first run in honour of Queen Victoria, the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate has distinguished itself as a sophisticated meeting of racing excellence, matched by the style and grace worthy of such a prestigious event."
The dress code is strictly blue and white and I was in pure fashion heaven. The ladies and the gents pulled out all the stops for the big day and everyone looked absolutely stunningly chic.
I've picked out some random photos from the day so you can get a taste of what I was seeing wherever I looked. Capetonians truly are a stylish bunch!
