Strawberry Loves...: The top 10 shops of Nottingham and Beyond

Hello internet!

I would say this was hard...but I'd be lying. This was far too easy. The hardest part was fitting in all the shops into a list with one shop per number. *le sigh* (feel free to check out these places. I'll put their address's & links at the bottom!)

10. Frock

This is a bit of an odd-ball shop and, I'll admit it, I haven't bought anything here. (Mostly because they don't make the dresses in a size 6)

They sew their own vintage dresses and make dresses to suit you... costing nearly £100. I can only dream...

9. Vintage vixen

Yay! Vintage Vixen! I feel so cool when I come here! I can go in and be all like "Wazzup. Yeah. I shop here. I know. Cool right?" (I think I just lost a swag point...)

Anyways, it's always so awesome in there and the absurdity of the wall decorations just makes me happy.

8. Urban Outfitters

I love Urban outfitters with all their chic-ness and vintage-y-ness. Damn their prices to hell though! I come up with so many outfits in my head when looking at a shirt and then I look at the price and I'm like "Nope". Oh pity me.

7. Baklash vintage

This is the fez shop. Yes. We bought a fez here.

6. White rose

I did do a review on White rose but it's mostly a shop I like to keep to myself. I'm not being selfish its just... its my hipster shop. (Yes I did just say that) No one knows about it and I like it that way.

5. Topshop

Whatever your style is, you gotta love Topshop. Their style is so cool and imaginative- it's basically a slightly cheaper, less vintage-y Urban outfitters. Shame about their prices! (Though if you do buy something from there, you cherish it for years. Trust me. I KNOW.)

4. Asianicandy

This place just screams girliness and and Asian style. You have no idea how many times I have scrolled through, hoping against hope that I had enough cash to get a certain pair of cat themed pumps. I do have to thank Cutiepiemarzia for directing me over here though!

3. The custard factory (Birmingham)

It's a bit of a drive but going up here is always worth it. Granted, the area's not great but this place is like a little gem in a mucky part of town. Or city. Whatever. They have several great vintage shops in one area AND cow vintage round the corner. +1 bonus points methinks!

2. Asos

Asos have all the very versatile items that go with vintage, but I don't usually go there for the main piece of the outfit, just the little extras. Saying that, they are my go-to shop for inspiration and news on trends. The shop is so popular...for all the right reasons!

1. Beyond retro

My love for BR will go on and on. Their style is so urban vintage and effortlessly cool. Their blog is really good inspiration too as their ideas and outfit designs are just...awesome! *le sigh* BR, you make me happy.
