Dressing Up: The Zoo

During Freshers Fortnight we had a night out at The Rainforest Cafe near Picadilly Circus. The fancy dress theme was the Zoo. My friend Holly and I dressed as Zebra's and Kathryn dressed as a leopard!  

Me: Dress - Boohoo via Ebay, Ears - Ebay, Boots - Topshop       

Kathryn (Middle): Playsuit - H&M, Shoes - Mango      

 Holly (Right): Dress - Ebay, Shoes - River Island, Ears - Ebay

This picture is of us just after we got ready in our flat in our Uni Halls. We then pre-drank a little bit and then headed over to the Rainforest Cafe. I wouldn't really say it was the best night of Freshers as I think the venue lacked a little bit, it was very expensive (just as everywhere is in London!) and it wasn't as busy as we had hoped. The night bus back to Uni is also pretty dire, so it's only usually worth it after a good night out.

Another couple of images from the night. The venue is beautiful, I used to go there when I was younger with my family for special meals out. I can remember it so well, the elephants used to be my favourite! So I would say the night was worth going to again, if only for the venue and remembering being there when I was younger! 

Face: Garnier BB Cream, Garnier Tinted Eye Roll On, Benefit High Beam

Brows: HD Brow Kit

Eyes: Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen; Black, Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara, Silver Glitter (Can't remember the make - sorry!) 

Cheeks - Topshop Cream Blush; Neon Rose

Lips - MAC Lipstick; Shy Girl 

In regard to my make up on the day, I had planned to wear red lipstick, but while I was doing it I thought a nude lip with a glitter eye would work effectively. I was happy with what we were all wearing, in some ways the getting ready was more exciting than the night as a whole. 

Here's a little promo video of the night. We are in there, see if you can spot us... 

Have you ever been? What would you have dressed up as?
