THE NEW VINTAGE ORANGE SUIT... MY COLOUR? HELP!

So today I visited my favourite Age UK charity shop today down Holderness Road in Hull and discovered this beauty! I've been looking recently in places like Topshop and Zara for casual/nice looking trousers and jacket suits, I've seen some nice ones really but the price of some are a bit off putting, especially with how fast fashion is nowadays and how my job/student loan is the tiniest thing ever. Anyone else in my shoes will understand my frustration at the fact there is so many nice clothes out there but when you have no money to cover it or even if you do, the fact you have to ration what you can buy per month is so off putting! I WISH LIKE EVERYONE THAT MONEY GREW ON TREES!
but back to today's find, I spent a whole £4.50 in the charity shop today on 5 items in total! I was able to get a baby pink adidas top, a Dolce and Gabanna top, a 90's sequin style strappy top and this two piece suit! All the tops we're £1 and the suit was £1.50.  I will post photos of the other things I bought today in another post when I have found out what I can style them with! But nevertheless an absolute bargain if I do say so myself. Oh and to top it off I went to the shop around the corner and got a almost brand new pair of lilac converse for £5! FIVE POUNDS! yep thats exactly what I thought too!






I just styled this suit with a simple black cami as I don't intend on taking it off when it's worn as it's quite thin which is a good thing for summer! To match my black cami these gorgeous black flatform slip ons fro Topshop work perfectly with the short legged trousers! and they're now in the sale only £15!! I would recommend getting a size or 2 bigger though because of they style, I had to get a size 8! Odd I know as I am only a size 6 but an 8! damn! but still they look uber lovely on my tootsies! 





I am unsure if it goes with my back to blue hair! but I aren't sure I mind too much because I just love the suit and it's so comfy! Also it just proves how amazing charity shops can be! As I say I will be posting more about the other items I bought in another post so keep your eyes peeled!!

Feel free to comment! 

PEACE!

THE DAY I GOT A NEW VIVIENNE WESTWOOD BAG AND MORE

So yesterday was a great day for me! First Jordan didn't go to work so I didn't have to sit on my own till he had finished so we went to do a spot of shopping in the town of Braunschweig which is great if anyone's wondering!! 


We found a lift in the New Yorker shop which was like a night club dance floor, it was literally just fully lit up in rainbow colours! It wasn't as good on photographs as it was in real life obviously! Although that was the best thing about the New Yorker shop because the rest was a bit rubbish, it reminded me a bit of Primark/h&m but a version that wasn't as good as either of them, I don't know I wasn't impressed! 

we then went to get some post cards to send home and came across these, which are sweet cones and when a german child starts school they get one of these full of sweets and they're really big! As my grandad is German he got my mum and aunties them when they started in school even though they were in England because it's a German tradition! I wish they did it here! Or at least I wish my mum did it for me when I stated school! They're so colourful! 


And then the good bit... I went to TKmaxx and was overwhelmed to see 3 Vivienne Westwood bags! some moschino ones also and Versace too! I was in ore! I could have spent up! I had to treat myself for being so brave to get on the plane here as I hadn't been on one before until last week! 
They were all the same colour, (the vivs) and from the same collection but it was such a decision which one to get! In the end I got a small pink/peach handbag with chains, perfect for going out as I already have a bigger one for other occasions so I thought it was a great but and for only €87 in the sale which is £65 I couldn't say no really! It was love at first sight! But trust me if I had more baggage allowance on the plane i would have more than one right now! 






Such an amazing bag I'm in love! Sad thing is I dropped it in the mud today.. Aren't I brilliant?! 

I also visited the kiko Milano makeup shop which I've wanted to visit for ages but don't live near one! And when I last went to Leeds couldn't find it! So it was my ideal chance to get some stuff! I got a lovely light cream eyeshadow and a AMAZING pencil lip gloss in a sparkly brown colour it's very jazzy! 



The brown lipstick comes out like this on this photo in case anyone was wondering and it's also colour number - 04


But to carry on the best day ever we had tomato and mozzarella for tea which is one of my favourite things to eat, along with other things of course! such as chorizo and nachos!


Me and Jordan then went to do international alcohol tasting in one of Jordan's friends room! And there were people there from, Finland, Hungary, Greece, Argentina, Slovina and some Mexicans joined later on! Some of the alcohols were disgusting but some surprisingly nice! I am awful with mixing drinks so was on my best behaviour. Also I knew Jordan would be in some kind words 'off his trolley', as was everyone there! It was a great night and one guy (marko) brought him donuts and I don't even like donuts but after a good few shots and more drinks I do!







The night was great and the company was really nice! Lovely people here couldn't fault them! Jordan picks his friends well and hopefully they like me too! I just hope this holiday in Germany stays this good! :D loving it so far! 

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed it


Peace!

HANNOVER ZOOOOOOO


After spending a full day recovering from the party and the fact that Germany isn't open on Sunday's, we decided on Monday we would get up early and go to the ZOO! I love zoos and animals so it was fab idea. After dragging ourselves out of the flat at 7:55 we got on the tram to the train station, then the train to Hannover and then the bus to the Hannover Zoo! We got there about half 9-ish. 

The first animal we got to see was a zebra with some type of gazelle animal which was cute! I love the fact that no 2 zebras have the same stripes and that they're as unique as a human finger print! 


The next animals that had the pleasure of meeting us was the Pelicans which were so funny! There was a moody one on its own and it was like me! The good thing about this enclosure is that you could go in it to get closer to them. Their beaks are massive, like so big! I was gobsmacked, I've only ever seen one in finding nemo!


Next we saw flamingos and they were so pretty and pink, but what I found funny was the fact they slept on 1 leg... How uncomfortable, I've never seen these before either so it was a nice surprise as they were so cute and quite delicate looking! 

After that we went to visit the hippos! It was SO SO SO big, enormous even! (Sorry for the bad photos) but there were children everywhere shouting and screaming so as you can imagine I was huffing trying to get a photograph! But it was great to experience it all the same! We also found a pretty fish in the hippo tank.


Moving on further into the zoo we came across little meerkats and they had the smallest babies ever they were so cute! My heart melted! The little baby ones got abandoned at one point because a small child screamed and they all got scared but they came back to save them thank the Lord! 




We then went on a short boat ride around a small section of the zoo which showed us the zebra again, flamingos, rhino (briefly) some other animals and a LOT of ducks and ducklings! We also had our photo taken on the boat which we weren't ready for as I was pulling the most horrendous face and I don't think Jordan was even looking anywhere within the vicinity of the camera! Fair to say we didn't buy it.

                     

We then moved on the see the giraffes. These are one of my favourite animals because they're so oddly shaped! One started to come over to eat the food that was near us so we got super excited for that, because they're so long I loved it! Some days I wish I was a giraffe! 

                   


After being pushed out by an influx of children we moved on to the monkey encloser which included sloths! And other kinds of monkeys. But we didn't get to see gorillas because they were cleaning the enclosure which was sad! But still the orang-utan was the best because it was so fascinating watching it trying to use a stick to get itself leaves! It was so clever! As for the other one it was being miserable on the floor and hiding. It looked the saddest! And the sloth just itched itself the whole time I stood and watched it! 

We then got the fab chance to see some lions which was great because they're so amazing looking like, they could kill me in a heart beat but still I love to look at them! The male came through a bit later and his mane was so cool! Loved them! 


Some of the other animals we saw were baboons, turtles, wolves and Buffaloes! All I've never seen before which was an experience. Baboons bottoms are the ugliest thing ever! Turtles are funny watching to try to get out of the water! Wolves reminded me of twilight but they just looked nasty not even that cute! And the Buffaloes were SO BIG! huge! 


NEXT we saw the polar bear. Oh my god it was amazing I loved every second in its presence it was like an honour, it was so elegant and literally was like the one that's in Narnia if anyone's ever seen it.. Amazing animal! It dived in the water from a great height and it was just so amazing. A moment l definitely remember for ever, seeing a polar bear! 

After that we ate our dinner, we had 2 sandwiches, a paprika chicken and let the and a cheese and lettuce, not bad to say we didn't have much in for out packed lunches I think we did quite well as spontaneous as it was! I also found €5 on the floor which was great and to be used on ice cream later.. 

Luckily after we had finished our din dins we was able to go see a seal show! In German of course so I understood very little, I mean like I know some german language enough to gather what they're kind of talking about if I pay enough attention! But no it was amazing, not only did they have seals but they had raindeers and an eagle also! To tell a story it was a lovely thing to watch. The seals were so happy!

We also saw some penguins at that time too which were pretty cute! They were tiny, like the ones in Mary poppins!! We also got a chance to see these been fed by the keeper lady but one kept nipping her so she picked it up and put it away! also the ducks kept eating all the Penguins fish but what can you do it was a laugh and I had ice cream at this point!



Then we moved on to one of my favourite animals of all time the elephant and I was so excited because we got SO CLOSE! literally feet away! Amazing experience, we also got to see them being fed and they all got in the bath for a wash first and then had chance to eat their dinner after they had done a little trick it was super cute 
We also couldn't resist having a photo with the statue elephant, it was as good as we were going to get! 

Next we saw the tiger, but first time around it wasn't really in view so the photographs were rubbish so Jordan wanted to go back later to see if it had moved and are we glad we did! I got down great shots of this beauty it was amazing it kept coming near us.
My personal favourite was this photo because the tiger actually almost looked straight into the camera lens! This is now my phone background because I love it so much! We stayed with the tiger for such a long time! I think it was getting sick of us!

We then skidaddled after this and went to come back to the flat and have tea! It was a great day and a great idea of Jordan's I loved it so much, I've never been to a zoo like it and I'd go again and again! I hope to go again one day in the future and will always remember it because it was so good! 

Thanks for reading this amazingly long post! Hope you enjoyed! 

Peace!
