Summertime is just about here and there are a few key fashion items that make racing more enjoyable when worn and brought to the track.
For me summertime tends to have more spontaneous trips and outings than the rest of the year. Since I'm not a fan of being unprepared I like an everyday bag that’s big enough to carry everything I'll need from morning to night and into the wee hours of the following morning. Plus, you'll have a place to store your tickets, racing program and other race day essentials.

Flowy, breathable fabrics are key to a cool summer. My favorite way to do that? With off-the-shoulder tops, rompers and dresses. They’re not only flattering, they’re also comfortable and a fun way to partake in the 1970s fashion revival. I’m a huge fan of the look and can’t wait to add some more to my wardrobe this summer.

I'm a fan of sunnies year-round, but summertime is definitely the most useful time for them, plus there are so many fun designs and brands to choose from and coordinate with your outfit.

While I’m a huge fascinator fan there’s even more of a reason to wear a hat to the races in the summer -- it shields your eyes and face from the sun. Fashionable and practical? Count me in!
