When we were in New Galloway we attended a 1950's day for the Queens Diamond Jubilee, this involved dressing up in 50's clothing which allowed me to get out a dress I bought last summer and have only worn once or twice before.
The photos are not the best but it was difficult when there's three children running around along with a 5 month old puppy. It also would have been nice for the photographer (aka my sister) to tell me my fringe was doing it's own thing in the third picture.
I bought my dress of Ebay last summer for about £20 and so I couldn't say no to it, I just wish I had the opportunity to get it out more often. I wore it with my handbag which I bought in Volterra, Italy last summer and my Asda sandals due to the fact it involved a lot of standing up not that heels and fields go together all that well anyway.
While we were up in Edinburgh we spent a day at the zoo and got to see the Pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang. As much as I love seeing the animals at the zoo I wasn't overly keen on Edinburgh Zoo I thought that some of the enclosures were too small for the animals and they were all really caged in. I much prefer Chester Zoo where the animals which aren't dangerous have a moat around the edge of the enclosure stopping them from getting too close to the visitors but allowing them to be much more out in the open.
I really enjoyed my little holiday and spent quite a bit of money on Princes St so i'm sure those clothes will soon make their way to my blog.
