YOU’VE rolled out of bed today only to realise your hair is oily, you haven’t worked on your summer glow and the last addition to your wardrobe is a puffy dress your mum bought you from Millers Fashion Club.
Meanwhile, Gold Coast fashionistas have been counting down the minutes to Magic Millions; outfits planned six months ago, right down to the very last bedazzle encrusted clutch.

Well, you won’t be alone with hundreds expected to make a last-minute dash to the Magic Millions today.
Amy Billings of Currumbin knows well the feeling of being a hopeless mess when it comes to planning a polished ensemble.
“The vision of me in a dressing gown with rollers in my hair, scrambling around for an outfit an hour before an event is a sight my husband Shane knows all too well,” the 26-year-old musician said.
“I’m absolutely shocking when it comes to organising this sort of stuff.”
Fashions on the Field pro Milano Imai said despite rocking up looking picture-perfect on race days, she also tended to leave her outfit choice to the last minute.
The Mermaid Waters fashionable filly said disorganised women could easily poach her secret, which was putting together clothing and accessories she’d accumulated during the year and combining them with flair in time for the big events.
“I love designing outfits and I like detailed accessories,” she said.
“I think it’s important to put your own spin on an outfit whether that be adding feathers to a hat or mixing and matching different skirts and tops.
“That way you’ve put a stamp on your own style and don’t have to worry about being in the same outfit.”
