Today my boyfriend and I went to Perth Zoo for the first time in 8 years (even though for over 2 years I have lived only a 10 min drive from it) something that I have been meaning to do for ages but have never got around to it.It was 31C so a lot of the animals where asleep due to the heat but I got to see the penguins and the otters that are my favorite animals there.

Top- Supre 07
Skirt- Veronika Maine found in an op shop
Belt- op shop
Shoes- Bamboo from City Surf on sale for $20

I have just come back from having a grate Indian curry dinner in Vic Park at my boyfriends favorite Indian restaurant. My hair is quite flat because I rode on the back of his Vespa to dinner which I love to do and for the first time in a skirt not shorts or pants was a new experience.

24/01/10 - First outfit post

T shirt- Roxy
Shorts- Primark in 08
Belt- Roxy
Ballet flats- Big W
Headband- Unknown
Sun glasses- Free with Marie Claire magazine


Yesterday I went to see the new movie Nine with my mum seeing that my other half would have slit his own wrists to not see it and I have to say I liked it. My favorite heroine in it was Marion Cotillard as Luisa Contini. I loved her portrayal of Guido Contini's long suffering wife especially her angry striptease to the song "take it all".


(sorry about the bad outfit shots I'm still trying to find a good place to take better photos in my house)
