<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As the days have been growing shorter and darker, the rain has started to subside and winter has well and truly established itself in Manchester. Despite being an unashamed sun-lover, I have a bit of a soft spot for the winter months. I love curling up in front of the fire and allowing myself that huge slice of cake because my winter wardrobe is so much more forgiving, and I love wrapping up in a million layers and venturing out into the cold to sip mulled wine and explore Christmas markets. As I am still wearing my trusty winter coat from 2009, I have decided it is time to treat myself to a new one but I am having a lot of difficulty deciding on one. I'm adoring the amount of burgundy and camel on the high-street this winter and a new camel coat would go just perfectly in my wardrobe and is so classic that I'm sure I would still be wearing it for years to come (much like my last coat).Here are a few that have taken my fancy- Santa take note!(Many thanks to my new favourite site polyvore for helping me with this post)</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A couple of weeks back I took advantage of a rare rain-free day in Manchester to do a bit of exploring and found myself a short while later being dragged into a </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">vegan</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> cafe. Being a self-professed meat lover, the word </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">vegan</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> usually fills me with dread as visions of lettuce leaves topped with tofu flood my mind but Withington's vegan cafe/bar</span></span><br />

Any place that has a room dedicated solely to board games whilst also stocking a banana bread flavoured beer has got to be worth a closer look. Serving home-made,locally-sourced, vegetarian and vegan food and wide range of speciality beers under the ever watchful eye of Elvis, the place is a hipster's dream. Surrounded by the rest of the local student population I scoffed a hearty falafel wrap and washed it down with a fresh fruit smoothie, all the while feeling just a little bit virtuous for saying no to meat. A return trip is definitely on the cards... </span></div>

With a window full of leather satchels and a variety of vintage and British-made pieces, it's perfect for a girly shopper with a conscience. I found several things I wanted but, being an impoverished student, limited myself to just one and in the end came away with this shirt for £21 (to add to my already enormous collection)- a feminine take on the classic blue boyfriend shirt that I team with fitted trousers or a leather skirt to really hit the androgynous nail on the head. The rest will have to be added to my wish list. Until next time... S xx </span></div>
