The Cheltenham Fashion Week team dressed their most stylish, on Wednesday, for the Cheltenham Festival Ladies Day. Responsible for entering chic-dressed attendees into the Festival Fashion Awards, the team including me, were chauffeur driven to the races in a fleet of Mercedes-Benz, one of Cheltenham Fashion Week's headline sponsors.

It was an exciting day, with my favourite entrants all winning first prize. Margaret Connolly, from Mullingar, Co Westmeath won The Best Dressed Lady title, wearing a vintage 1950's Lilli Ann dress and coat with accessories from House of Fraser and Dorothy Perkins.

The award for Best Hat went to Alisha Whitehead from Nottingham, wearing a striking Tangerine and Black ensemble with Hat made by her, Milliner, Sister, Michelle Foley.

Cheltenham Fashion Week Director, Sam Bawden, showcased Cheltenham Designers, wearing a bespoke Kelly Thorne Jacket and Skirt with a hat by local Milliner Denise Innes.

For Ladies Day I opted for a classic navy dress by Jaeger London, Navy Isadora Clutch by LiliYang, Hat by Madeleine Millinery and accessorised with a sheepskin cape from Dlux London and Jessica de Lotz Jewellery.

Dress to Impress for Ladies Day at Cheltenham Festival 2011

Cheltenham Festival is one if the most exciting and prestigious racing events in the jumping calendar. The Regency town of Cheltenham also happens to be my birthplace and the atmosphere that surrounds the town during this special racing festival is exhilarating and definitely not to be missed!

My 'Dress to impress' guide for Ladies Day glamour, Wednesday 16th March, is taken from the best of the high street and online emporiums to demonstrate how to mix and match and also how to keep your look elegant.

With the lovely Cotwold weather, always unpredictable, always aim to be safe than sorry when dressing for the races. Stick to dressing for the end of winter instead of the coming of Spring. Shivering with the cold does not look chic, if the sun decides to shine you can always remove the outer clothing.

However this doesn't mean you need to be bland - simply practical! Buy coats, scarves, and gloves and rather than bare legs opt for nude tights. My favourite are Aura-5 from Wolford, they provide a translucency plus subtle shimmer, yet will keep some warmth within!
