Fall Racing Season is almost here! This year the Breeders’ Cup is happening at Santa Anita Park on November 3rd and 4th and the Bing Crosby Season opens at Del Mar Racetrack on November 10th and runs through December 3rd.

Here is a little outfit inspiration for the season paired with some of our best selling hats and fascinators. Of course, custom is always an option and I would love to work with you to create a custom piece. You can reach out to us here to chat about custom options.

A fun, classic fascinator paired with a bold red lip for maximum impact:
