Winter Wishlist

Beanie | Red Jumper | Snake Bangles | I Agree T-Shirt | Tassel Loafers | Mesh Bomber | Silver Backpack | Boots | Green Check Coat | Necklaces | Flower Dress | Gingham Skirt | Khaki Dress | Red Jeans | Chocolate Coin Purse | Grey Bomber

It wasn't hard for me to switch into Winter mode. I'm already there. I mean, there's been freakin' Christmas stuff in stores for weeks now, and John Lewis have already put out their famous adorable advert (which to be honest is definitely rivalled by Sainsbury's.) And my friends have rediscovered their Christmas playlists and are taunting me with that Band-Aid song.

*sigh*

But on the bright side, SNOW, FAIRY LIGHTS, HAVING HOT CHOCOLATE AND NO ONE JUDGING YOU! All wonderful perks that should get a mention. The upsides of Winter never cease to amaze. I can now expect my class to freak out when they see a single snowflake and declare it a "snow day" (with, of course, their faces smushed against the window pane). And the lovely Costa/Starbucks special Christmas drinks that I, without fail, always ask for with extra cinnamon. Mmm cinnamon...

Oh and yes, the most important one. I now have the god given right to justly say:

"Winter is coming".

See ya soon guys

Kicking Leaves

1/2/3/4//5/6/7/8/9

One of the best (and the worst) things about Autumn is the fact that it rains ALL THE TIME. I mean, who doesn't love the sound of it?  And it gives you the god-given right to bundle yourself up in scarves and jumpers and coats. Only downside is, is that my hair fluffs up like a poodle every time I spend 0.0009999 seconds in it without an umbrella. *sigh* It's honestly the most frustrating thing ever. It makes me want to hide inside my bedroom and hibernate until Spring.

So with all this rain, its almost without doubt that you will pull on a killer pair of boots. And here are my beauties that I found out on the internet. I tried to find as many as I could that weren't real leather but I failed and now I feel pretty bad. If any of you could suggest some brands that don't use leather that would be fab :)

Anyways, tell me what you think of these in the comments. My personal favourites are the green Chelsea boots and the burgundy lace up ones. They both kinda remind of Christmas somehow though! I think I'm getting ahead of myself season wise...

See ya soon guys

Autumn Wishlist

Pftttt..... it may not technically be Autumn right now but hey, what can I say? I'm a forward thinking person.

Heya guys! This is my seasonal wishlist that rounds up basically everything I want for the upcoming new season. Lots of these beauties are taken from my Mallzee app which has basically become my mini bible for shopping. It shortens everything down and makes it super easy for me to metaphorically cry over how little money I have.

I digress.

But anyway, I think for the new season there will be lots of metallic material and cargo/semi-army print. There will also be printed beanies and toned down Aztec print and as for hair and makeup, I'm pretty sure it will be all about the I-literally-just-rolled-out-of-bed hair and the smudged eyeliner. Maybe in the later months lips will take a gothic plunge and go for dark reds and cranberry colours. However, I would definitely begin steering away from the minimalism route and take up more layered, patterned wear. Grunge will totally rule the next few months.

Tell me your thoughts in the comments

Eat my Shorts

top (left to right) : Topshop, New Look, Topshop
middle: Miss Selfridge, Lazy Oaf, Joy the Store
bottom: Topshop, Shopstyle, New Look

Ahhhh.... warmth at last. If I'm ridiculously lucky, I might even get a tan. But that seems a little far fetched for my pale-as-frickin-snow skin.

Hello my lovelies! I am here to give you ALL the shorts. I couldn't manage to find a single pair today while out shopping that were A, long enough to give complete coverage of my butt, and B, versatile and comfy. *sigh*

So here are my beauties, hand picked from the depths of the internet. Tell me your favourites in the comments! I personally love the pair in the top left hand corner and bottom right and centre. The cargo/crocodile print shorts will really stand out and can possibly be worn in warmer Autumnal months. I also really like the very centre pair as they are super cute and ditzy with the little flower emblems.

See ya soon guys

Summer Wishlist

Hello my lovelies!

Wishlist time! Have a read and tell me what you think in the comments.

 

1. Milkmaid Braid

Ok this isn't technically a thing to buy but I still really want to know how to do a milkmaid braid. They're so gorgeous and stunning - not to mention it keeps the hair out your face!

2. Urban Outfitters Sunglasses

Aren't these just lovely? The buttery yellow colour is so great for summer and the style of these are just perfect for framing your face.

 

3. Urban Outfitters Roses Bun-Ringlet

These are simply beautiful. I can see myself using these a lot! It would really bring some life to be my plain, boring ponytails and buns.

 

4. The White Pepper Simple Shift Dress

The colour of this dress reminds me of minty ice-cream. Its also really easy to wear - shift dresses always are!

 

5. Lazy Oaf Bag

Yes please to that bag indeed! I've actually wanted this for quite a while now because its pretty much wearable in any season.

 

6. Topshop Green Heeled Shoes

Aren't they just gorgeous?! They've got a nice khaki tone to them which I have a feeling will be in for summer! *wink wink*.

 

7. H & M Dress

Everyone needs a nice plain white dress in their wardrobe. Why not this fairly lovely H & M beauty? Its got faint stripes on it which makes it a tad more interesting :)

 

See ya soon guys!

 Pinch Punch first of the Month! (Not so effective over the internet it seems...)

 

Heya guys! Recently I have found myself typing 'Monochrome' into every search bar. I have always thought myself a colourful and artistic person but apparently not.

So in my rampage for bleak colours and simplicity, I have a found a few pickings which might take your fancy.

 

 What do you think? Leave me a comment below!

Spring Wishlist for the like-minded

Hello lovely people!

Ah, a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. This weight just so happens to be entitled 'SCHOOL'. I have 2 weeks. 2 WHOLE WEEKS where I no longer have to worry about what essay has to be in and what class I have to run to and etc. etc. etc. And also, if I haven't mentioned if you're not sick of me mentioning I'm going to freaking Japan!

Eeeeeeeeep!

So I thought in these joyous times I'd make a wishlist, in the hope that my parents feel generous and in the giving mood. I can only hope.

So sit back, relax, grab that mug of hot chocolate/tea/ delicious hot beverage and let me go through my wishes.

1. Edit Printed Crop Sweatshirt
Isn't it so awesome!? I'm in love with the whole rainbow-galaxy-woah print. (Also, I own, like, no cool sweatshirts.)

2. The Tribal Print Cap
I've suddenly rediscovered one of the coolest shops I know. One of the reasons I forgot/ignored American Apparel was because I am natuarally drawn away from "Eeek! too socially awkward to wear that!" clothes but I've recently started browsing there because of my beloved Instagram giving me pics from them. Anyway, this cap used to be too cool for me but NOW I (might) ROCK THIS.

3. Bow Hair Clip
Another American apparel treasure. Adorable. Pretty. Pink. What more could I need?

4. Pink Bralet
I was actually shocked to discover this was from Primark. Its perfect. Shows hardly any skin and is a bralet. Erm...WIN! hehe

5. White Heeled Shoes
These are beautiful. Apart from the fact that it is inevitable that their whiteness will soon be tarnished by my amazing ability to make almost all my clothes mucky in about an hour of purchase. Its a natural gift. Spiderman gets spider agility, I get clumsiness. We all know where I stand in the X men mutation revolution.

6. Prickly Cap
I don't think this needs thorough explaining. Its a cap with totally awesome different types of cacti printed all over it. What's not to love?

7. Bunny Bag
This is so totally cute! I love the pastel-y mint colour which is perfect for spring. Granted, it may not be the most useful item but.... Bunny Ears!!

8. Black Flower Print Shorts
Slightly more dark and gloomy than the others on the wishlist but only just. The flower print is beautiful and the fact that they're shorts, well, I literally own zero pairs of shorts for the summer so these will do nicely.

9. Cat Eye Sunglasses
 I think these have been featured in at least 3 of my #OOTD posts. That probably shows how much I love them! And also cat eye sunglasses are so in for SS14.

10. The Ragged Priest Coat
Slightly weirder than the rest. I'm not sure how much I would wear this; I think this is one of those statement fashion things that get worn about 5 times per year. However, after seeing something really similar in Topshop and falling in love with that, I have also fallen in love with this oddball treasure too.

11. Paint Splattered Platform Sandals
Oh these are beauties. Not sure my mum would actually let me wear them though, I'd break my ankle! Anyway, I love the paint splattered effect and the whole 70s thing going on.

Thanks for reading guys! Leave a comment and tell me what you think!

 

See ya soon guys

February wish list

Hey internet!

Because I have nothing better to do, my school holiday has basically been a series of watching the box set of The Walking Dead and catching up on the blogs I've neglected to read. Contrary to what you're thinking (which is probably : "OMG this Strawberry girl is so boring!") It's kinda fun. I'm a lot less stressed out than I was, which makes for better posts for you guys. All round awesome-ness

I hope you like this wish list. It's basically a mish-mash of everything I've been loving this month. (Which is everything).

1.Skirt- Urban Outfitters.
I love this skirt. I actually saw it in the shop in Nottingham but I decided I hated it when I saw the price. *le sigh* I love the daisy pattern on this as its so cute and vintage-y.

2. Skirt- Urban Outfitters
This item is so versatile and simple, yet its still really cute. It reminds me of a school skirt a little but I still really like it.

3. Skirt- Ark
Yet another skirt. It seems I'm obsessed with them at the moment, but hey ho, there's worse obsessions. I love the tartan-style pattern of this one, even though I was never a fan of the tartan trend. Just wasn't my thing.

4. Bag- Asos
Does this really need explanation? It's so cute and...blue! I love it so much...

5. Shoes- Topshop
It's Cutiepie Marzia that made me a fan of Mary Janes, now I am forever a lover of them.

6. Dress- The White Pepper
I included this dress on my Valentines day post and I really like it. The cut is adorable but I can just imagine getting a massive coffee stain on the front. White + me = a disaster waiting to happen.

7. Shoes- The White pepper
They're kinda odd looking which sort of makes them attractive I guess. I adore Doc-Martens and anything with a similar style is an instant hit with me.

8.Belt- Asos
Its a pink belt. What's not to love?

Hope you enjoyed this post! Leave a comment down below or on my twitter page!

Spring Checklist

Hi there! Tis' le moi, Strawberry.

This is another one of those file declutter things where I basically just shove out onto the tinternet all the stuff I want for Spring *le sigh*

But yeah, this is my all essential January shopping checklist. Some of these things you MAY have seen on some of my older posts. As in; the pink coat (primark), the acid wash jeans (new look) and the flower crown from god knows where. There are some new things like the black and white flower bomber jacket from Topshop (bit of a mouthful) and the pink boxy tshirt from New look.

Post a comment if you want to know about where something specific is from!

 

See ya soon guys
