Personally, I loved how Carrie Bradshaw rocked her Carrie nameplate necklace in the earlier seasons of SATC.
I've always wanted to get one, obviously with Karina instead of Carrie..
. but I've seen some girls wear these necklaces, and well, its looks a little silly and totally 'omg carrie wannabe..
.' On the otherhand..
.I think some people could totally pull it off and look very chic
Tell me, what do you all think when you see someone wearing a Carrie style nameplate necklace??
why I should move to America...
seriously - it is sooo good compared to our Juicy Fruit. Its just sooo much more tasty and I love the the long sticks. Chewing Gum in Australia usually comes in a smaller stick and its definately not as yum.
..
This dress is just nasty in soooo many ways!!!
Spring in Australia means plenty of Race meets (Horse Racing that is)
Don't know a thing about horses or betting? Don't worry - 90% of the crowd don't.
..it's all about the drinking and flirting and fashion.
A few of the races throughout the month of Oct and Nov are;
Melbourne Cup:
* AKA The Race That Stops a Nation. Seriously, at 3.05pm on the first Tuesday of Novemeber, don't even bother trying to call any office, make a Dr/Dentist appt because for the 5 mins that the race is on - everything shut's down.
* The Melbourne Cup has the best Fashion on the Feilds compeition. Here is a pic of this year's top 3;
*At least one or two Hollywood celebs are 'special guests' at the Melbourne Cup. In pervious years it has been Eva Longoria, The Hilton Sisters, Carson from Queer Eye and this year, Kate Bosworth Andrea Bowen (from Desperate Housewives)
Ladies Day Girls Day Out:
*Held at Rosehill racecourse in Sydney.
..this is where the Sydney siders celebrate a day at that races.
Drinking usually starts around 11am...
and goes until the wee hours of the morning
* Basically its just an excuse for the boys to wear a suit and the girls to wear a hat and dress or facinator. Ladies Day Girls Day out is not just for females!!
Males flock to the races on these days, because its a sure thing that there will be drunk girls around (last weeks crowd was 25,000 +)!!!
* A few pics from last Saturday when my and my crew went to Girls Day Out;
A few points to keep in mind about the 'races' in Aus;
* Most females, and some males are so uninterested in the horse racing side of the races that we are lucky to see one race. In saying that, when the horses are coming into the finishing line everyone stands up and cheer as if there horse is neck and neck to win first place!!
! Its just part of the fun!
* Despite the Sydney weather (usually resulting in Sunburn), Toilet line ups, the half hour bar cue and the crowds.
..it really is a great day!
