Who made you King of anything?

All the outfit Primark
Tights : newlook

So this outfit is abit delayed ... its actually what i wore on the 5th Feb when i went out for a chinese meal with my team from work! I love this playsuit, the detailing on it and the fit is perfect for me, i think its really flattering on my curves (wobbly bits). It has 4 gold buttons down the front to add that little vintage touch, i teamed it with some brown brogues again from primark, there adorable, their my first pair & i LOVE them, im going to do a seperate post on them i think!!

To stay with the gold buttons on the playsuit i wore a brown belt with a gold buckle (again primark) my new eagle gold ring which turns my finger green & i think the best thing i bought in my little primark trip was this satchel bag. Its UBER spacious, can be used with or without the shoulder strap, for a bargain £6 its FAB ... i think it may also deserve its own little blog post with more pictures!

All the titles lately for my blog post's have all been lyric's from songs, im struggling to come up with anything myself and also the lyrics im choosing are songs im LOVING lately, the current song Sara Bareilles King of Anything, i actually frist heard this song whilst waiting for the fab Pixiwoo's video's to load, this was the advert playing before hand & i had to find out what it was and have been playing it constantly since!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 015 %

(I curled my hair yesterday, half of the curls have fallen out ... whoopsie!)
So what have i done this week ... i worked lots, didnt stay till 8 any evening though, i decided to come home & spend some time with the boyf which was lovely as even though we live together it seems like i havent properly seen him as ive been at work constantly!

On Monday i joined weight watchers, we have one at work so i thought if i was working all the overtime i wouldnt have chance to go to a meeting near home & this would be a perfect solution as its on my lunch hour & Mondays are the start to the week, so i weighed in and was about 5lbs lighter than i originally thought i was so that was a good start, Ive been tracking all week & whilst i was out shopping on Saturday i sneakily weighed myself in boots, i know i shouldnt of as i could end up getting obsessed, but there was a loss & im just going to wait till tomorrow to see what ive lost!

Today i was suppose to go to some comedy thing at the palace theatre, watching the show Daves One Night Stand being filmed but it involed standing outside in the cold for around 3 hours waiting to go in & guaranteeing a good seat & i just couldnt be bothered so we decided to head to Nando's instead, it was scrummy and was a nice treat to end the week after being SUPER good on weight watchers & not dipping into any of my 49 extra pro-points you get to play around with!! Not had Nando's in ages & it was delicious!!

Next week is my 6 day week at work, so even if i wanted a day off or not work any overtime its always a hard week ... boooo, i do get to finish at 3 on Thursday so will have to get my eyebrows threaded then, there in dyer need & i hate plucking them, threading just leaves such a nicer shape for me face! Sorry this isnt a long post, im super tired and about to have a shower then off to bed!

You took something perfect & painted it red %

 
Dress : Marks & Spencers
Belt : Primark
Tights : Newlook

My mum bought my this dress before christmas, it was originally £35  and she got it in the M&S sale for a bargain £3 ... when i first tried it on i thought it wasnt flattering at all, and thought it didnt have any shape to it, till i decided to throw on a skinny black belt and i actually really liked the end result!! It moves really well and i started spinning around my room to see how high it would go ... hence the last two pictures!!!

I wore this dress for work today & got lots pf lovely comments, i think its the perfect lenght for height and a dress i will definatly be wearing alot more, its a quite thick material, therefore it keeps me warm whilst its still FREEZING outside, i seriously cant wait for spring for when i dont have to have gloves & a scarf on all the time ... i want to be able to wear little cardigans to go out in and not have millions of layers on all the time!

Im trying my hardest to try and blog more frequently but im leaving for work at 7am and not getting home till around 8.45/8.50pm having my tea, having a shower then bed ... im trying to do lots of posts on Sundays so i can schedule them throughout the week but thats easier said than done i guess!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 014%


So another week of working lots of 12 hour days, but on Thursday it was my schedulded day off & instead of going in like i was going to i decided a day off was in order ... so i took quite a few pictures for my blog, schedulded quite a few posts and catched up on all my programmes on Sky+ ... perfect day actually :)

Friday was a 12 hour day then i worked on Saturday too till 5, last night me & the boy watched 127 Hours ... its a FANTASTIC film ... even thought most of the film is just one man, 2 stone walls it keeps you gripped for an hour & a half, i think because its a true story makes it even better. The story is about Aron Ralston, and seeing what hes completed after the incident that happened to him is so inspiring!

Today i went to watch Tangled with my neice ... its a FAB film, about time a Rupunzel thing was made :) The boy took our nephew to watch Gnome & Juliet and when that was finished we all meet up and went to Frankie & Bennys for tea, it was fab spending some time with them both, my neice is 9 & my nephew is 6, there both so funny!!

Now im at home, in my comfty's, with my slankie all cosy & warm, its only just gone 7o'clock and im struggling to keep my eyes open, im not sure why im so tired, i sort of had a lie in this morning!!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 013 %

I know i know like how many days late am i with this ... So last week what did i do ...errmm i worked ALOT!! Im still doing tons of overtime but its not bothering me, im actually really enjoying doing it at the moment so im not grumbling!!

So Monday to Thursday consisted of working 8 till 8 and then Friday was my schedulded day off but i decided to go in & get a few hours work done ... i finished at 1, went over to Primark to pick up a pair of black flat pumps & came out £54 lighter and without my black pumps .... BOOOOO!! i got 2 playsuits, 2 belts, 2 pairs of shoes and a eagle ring & a brown satchel bag, since getting everything home & trying on i have returned 1 of the playsuits & 1 of the pairs of shoes, i'll do an OOTD with the other bits i picked up :) after a bit of shopping i got the train home, went and got my nails done, yes i got acrylics, now i know there not everyones cup of tea and that they can really damage your nails but ive looked after my nails and i think one set of falsies shouldnt damage them to much, but i really like them :) We all love abit of fakery sometimes! Aftr i had my nails done i had 30 mins to waste till the boy got off his train so i headed to Costa to have a chill out whilst catching up on my weekly gossip mag's!

When the boy finally came off we pranced to First Choice to book our holidays!!! We finally decided on a gorgeous hotel & the Ndogo Safari for 3 nights / 4days and were going to Tsavo National park West & East and on the final night we will be staying a the foot of Mount Kilamajaro ... its going to be a fantastic experience and im super excited!!!

Saturday i went into work and did 6 hours overtime then went out after work for a team meal, we went to Red Chilli on Oxford road in Manchester centre, its a Chinese restaurant, there was 11 of us who went & it was a really good night! On the menu was alot of food i havent ever tried like Birds Nest, Shark fin soup (which i DONT agree with) Frogs legs and tons more ... me & the other girlies (there was only 4 girls in total, most of my team is made up of boys) decided we would split a portion of Frog's legs to see if we'd like them ... i imagined they'd come out all green & slimy but they was done in a chili sauce thing & looked like really small chicken legs, they tasted like Chicken to be honest, Im quite fussy with meats, i dont like pork or lamb, not a mega fan of beef and for me to like frog is quite weird!!

Sunday consisted of having a lie in till 10.30, it was fab waking up at 9 and just lazing around in bed all snuggly & warm was sooo nice!! Me & the boy also went to support my nephew play a football match, it was cold, very windy & raining but it was all worth it and he scored a goal!! On the way back home we decided to go to KFC and get a family bucket and spend the afternoon in my PJ's watching rubbish TV and lying on the sofa with my blanket! PEFRECT!!

IN OUT shake it all about =

So i havent done one of these post since February LAST year so its been a WHOLE YEAR!!! So i thought i'd do another one ... its abit of a cheat post i think but hey its a post! So i'm gonna start with my

IN
- All the overtime im doing, so it might be tiring me out but im thinking its alot of extra pennies, its time & a half at weekdays & and weekends its double pay so its really worth it at paydays!
- Ive recently re fell in LOVE with my Ipod again, i love having it on whilst im on the train going to work in the morning, abit of Florence or the Radio one live lounge album puts me in a FANTASTIC mood
- Ive finally booked my holiday .... Kenya here i come in ... also going on a 4 day Ndogo safari!!


OUT

- How COLD it is ... i was walking to the train station the other morning at 7.12am and it was MINUS 2 (theres a temperature thing on the council office building) I seriously cant wait till Spring starts & i can leave the winter coat, scarf & mittens at home!!

- My clothes, i really want to go clothes shopping but im trying to hold out till its abit warmer and i can get new springy clothes ... lots of light layers i think i want!

- Not having time to exercise, so the reason i dont have time is because of one of my IN's ... all the overtime, im getting up at 6.15 and getting home at 8.45 so im just wayyy to tired to even turn on the DVD player to do my Shred or put the Kinect on & do my Biggest Loser ... i can also feel the lb's just piling on ...

- Not loving that my ezcema on my eye is still flared up, the cream i got from the Dr's is a steroid based one & i dont want to use it all the time on my eyes and im trying cream & cream to see what works!


Ive only just realised i only took pictures for my IN's and none of my OUT's ... whoopsie .. but oh well the OUTS are  BORING anyway!!!

So what are you In & Outs at the moment?

Im lusting over Topshop =

 Im not really a topshop kinda girl, im not sure why but i just dont go in that often but whilst browsing the Topsop website i found MANY things being added to my wish list,then it made me think ive never done a Wish list before on my blog & decided it was time to share with you all the things im lusting after so much!





  
I LOVE everything in top shop lately & im really loving this rust colour thats everywhere ... i think its such a gorgeous colour, i think the playsuit is really pretty & would look gorgeous with bare legs (when it gets abit warmer) and also with tights too, also the brown leather look shorts would look really nice with the vest tucked in & also with the sheer peachy grandad style shirt ... ooo payday on Thursday cant wait!! After looking at the brown bag in person im thinking the orange one will be better as its more of a vibrant colour and will stand out more with alot of outfits, also the gorgeous Lily from LLYMLRS did a blog post on it!

How cute is the stripy knitted jumper, i think it will look lovely with some light denim faded jeans and some cute flat pumps :) it will also look super cute with some light denim cut down shorts for when it gets abit nippy at nights (obviously for when its summer & if you wore shorts now without tights you'd FREEZE) Ive just realised what it reminds me of .... WHERE's WOLLY ... but a lot more fashionable of course! haa haa!!

So what are you lusting after lately? Is there any shops you just usually never go in, do what i did & get on their website and i bet you'll be shocked at how much there is that you will NEED in your life! Soi think a little shopping spree may be in order for me when its pay day on thursday, also i finish at 1.30 on Thursday afternoon so i can go shopping with my girlies ... will have to go & find the bits i want!! But dont think i could afford all of it, not got a spare £250 :S
