Day out: Colchester Zoo

As I really enjoyed writing the post about my day out in Cambridge I decided I'd write another similar post but about my trip to Colchester Zoo yesterday. I also went last Wednesday with a few of my close friends but decided not to take my big camera as I wanted to enjoy the day more with my friends instead of lugging the camera around, so yesterday when my wonderful mum said she was taking my little brother and sister and meeting up with one of my older sisters, I jumped at the chance to go so I could get some good pictures with my camera.

First thing my niece jumped on when we got there, look at that precious smile!
Oh look, King Julien!


The cutest two year old I know!

Can we just... how cute is this meerkat?!

Feeding these beautiful creatures!


If you know me, you'll know just how much I love elephants!





Oh how I wish I was in the actual enclosure! 




Follow the leader?


Hope you enjoyed this little post about the zoo, I really do enjoy these posts so expect more in the future! If you'd like to see what I wore to the zoo be sure to check out my profile on Lookbook it's a great website where you can see the things I wear, I update it almost daily (unless I spend the day in my PJs) which means you can see outfits which I don't write posts on!

Flowers: Day into Night

Onto my last OOTD/OOTN post from holiday! Now that they've all been posted I think I probably should have separated them out with different sorts of posts but hey ho, nothing I can do now.
I've noticed that with these posts it seems like I only buy clothes from cheap shops, I promise I don't haha, but I can't fault the 'cheap' places I do buy if I'm honest!




I bought this amazing top from the Tesco sale, yep! I am seriously in love with it, I think it's extremely complimenting and I will probably be wearing it for the rest of the summer, woo!
When I first tried it on, I did wonder how to style it as the looseness of it means you have to wear tighter/tailored shorts, which is exactly what I went for, they're not tight but they look sort of tailored I think.









Top - Tesco
Shorts - Primark
Bandeau - New Look
Shoes - Converese 



































(Sorry for these photos looking a little grey, it started to rain when we took them)

 I then randomly tried it on with a skirt whilst throwing outfits together, I didn't think of this when I first saw it as I thought, "oh the flowiness of it has to be the main attention, style around it", however once I tried it on with a skirt I loved it! I really think it makes the top look so much nicer and compliments me even more, making the perfect evening outfit, as you can see I went for an even more dressed up look by wearing these gorgeous heels.
