Today is one of the much anticipated event of the year - Dubai World Cup. Going to it is like getting Kentucky Derby Party Invitations for an AMAZING PARTY.

I have never actually been to one but I always make it a point to read about it. The preparation, the hats and the fact that no one who has ever been to this party ever sees a horse!!!! Anyway, I think all those who attend are in it for the party, the drinks and “The Outfit” contest. No wonder people really make an extra effort to look great in this party. They do give them a big award for it.

Bur Juman mall is the host of this competition. Check out this year’s prizes:
