Totally out of the blue coral +

Barry M 312 Indigo
Barry M 296 Coral

You all know my love for Barry M polish is HUGE! I know when it starts to become autumn/winter the bright polishes go out of the window and in come the dark, deep colours appear. I dont own many dark polishes as im lover of the super brights and pastel colours.  

I choose these two colours at random, i was going to just use the indigo but I not a one shade nail person hee hee! I actually did the coral on my ring finger on one hand and on the other hand did it on my forefinger, just to mix it up a bit. Like all Barry M polishes, they last a good few days without chipping and the polish themselves seem to last forever!! 

I desperatly need some new dark polishes ... it doesnt matter what brand but if you have any recomendations let me know  :)
Thanks for reading

= Manchester Christmas Markets =

Me and the gorgeous Steph are planning a trip to the Manchester Christmas Markets, were heading over on the 9th December which is a Friday, and were planning on meeting up around 5.30ish, now with the Christmas markets being so popular we thought we would extend the invite to all the North west bloggers that are free that evening?
(sorry for the quality of the photo's there taken from google)

Now the christmas market will be a fantastic place for everyone to meet up, have a nosy around the markets, pick up some cutesy bargains and get some hot chocolate and have a good chit chat with you all!!

So if anyone's up for it let me know your email and i'll speak to Steph and get the exact details and let you all know!!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 046 %

Today was the boy's sister's due date ... and she's the only person who i know who actually gave birth on their due date ... let me introduce you all to my new nephew .... Harry Stephen Rich! He's absolutely gorgeous! So the first part of my day today was spent running around my local town trying to get some blue baby boy balloons and then i was sat in the Delivery waiting room :)

Ive been off work this week poorly with my asthma, Im totally blaming the colder weather, its been so mild for the last few weeks and then this cold week has just hit me ... if you've been following my blog for a while you'll know my asthma is made worse by cold weather, I totally need to move to warmer climates ... im considering Australia lol!!!

I totally forgot to mention in last weeks Sugar & Spice Sundays ... I went to watch Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 on opening night ... AMAZING, I'm totally sucked into the twihype that's going on, and I can hold my hands up and say im totally Team EDWARD!! I cant wait till the next film, shame its a year away! Booooo!!!

This is going to be a short post as im going to go back up to the hopsital and have another cuddle with my new baby nephew!!

These boots were made for walking . . .

For the last 4/5 weeks I've been eyeing up shearling laced boots, I've looked at lots of different ones & I just couldn't find the perfect one's, then one lunch time running through the Arndale centre i caught these out of the corner of my eye. It was love at first sight.
They look perfect tucked into a pair of skinny jeans and a big cosy woolly jumper ... perfect winter outfit! With the heel being chunky there mega comfy to walk around in for hours on end, strolling around the shops :) There a suede effect and lined around the top with faux sheep wool and laced up the front.

Oh the important information, they were from Peacocks, now thats not normally a shop i'd go in, im not sure why I just tend to ignore it and walk past! Also they should of been £30 and had £15 off when I bought them, so they were a bargain £15!!!! Peacocks currently have 20% off so it may be worth having a nosy to see what good bargains you could find!!

I can see these being a staple piece in autumn wardrobe, they'll look fab with a jeans, tights, shorts, dresses!! What's your autumn boots? Are you a heeled or flat type a person?

Sugar & Spice Sundays 045 %

So I've gone and done it again, totally not blogged at all, I actually have a really good excuse to why, I've moved house, we got the internet disconnected at our old house and have only had it in our new house a few days! We've been here just over a week now and i totally LOVE it! Its a weird story actually, when i first met the boy he used to live in this house with his brother, we moved out into our own place, his brother moved out and then 5 years later we come back to the house, its in a gorgeous area. In front of our house is all cobbled streets, right opposite the museum over looking the canal. Its literally my dream house and i couldn't be any more excited!

Like all my other Sugar & Spice Sunday post's im not going to go on and on about me working tons of hours, I'm just going to think that you all know me by now and know i work LOTS and that i literally live at my desk!! I think my work should invest in massage chairs, im sat in mine that much :)

I've decided that im going to do a little giveaway soon, probably around Christmas / New year as a kind of thank you for sticking with me during my bad blogging year. I started blogging just over 2 years ago (it was my 2nd blog birthday on the 13th Nov) and i cant describe how much i enjoy it, i just think i need to start managing my time better, I love spending time reading through all your posts and eyeing up all your amazing photos! Ive just noticed i wrote over 100 more post's last year than ive done so far this year, thats really bad isnt it?
