Welcome 2008!

I was thrilled to be invited to a house party for New Years Eve and even more thrilled that it was a costume party ('80's vs '08). I took this opportunity to learn how to navigate Perth's public transportation system while hunting for the perfect outfit.

Recipe for the Perfect Outfit:
1 beige valor and gold square shouldered pants suit
2 large gold jagged edge hart earings
1 pair of leopard print heals with pointed toe
1 bright gold handbag
Pinch of high-impact 80's gold eyeshadow

The celebration continued on New Years Day when I dressed up in my finest backpacking threads and attended Perth Cup, Western Australia (if not Australia's) biggest horse race. It wasn't quite the thrill of the Kentucky Derby which I attended in April, but with four horses going down mid-race, the adrenaline was high!
