#BigBlogmasProject Day 4: Your winter hat that I want to wear but can't.

Play it! You know you want to...

Ooooh hello my lovelies! We are now well into our Christmas month and I have been blogging like crazy doing posts in advance. I'm actually writing this on the *checks phone* 25th. Yeah. That's how overly organised I am. Oh dear...

Right. Ok. The post.

Now one thing that occurred to me is I CAN'T FIND A WINTER HAT. I'm fine with the scarves, sure but hats don't suit me. Like ever. That's why you always see me in the woolly gnome hat which I think, is the only hat that suits me. The problem is my head is teeny. Ask my mates. We did a head measuring thingy and mine was 1.5cm smaller than their heads (I might be exaggerating. Maybe. A bit.)
So here are the 3 hats that I would love to wear but can't wear that might suit you because you're lovely. Damn you.



cat hat: New look, felt hat: Topshop, wool hat: Bench


  
I would love to wear the cat hat but it balances wrong on my head. I also ADORE  the topshop hat. I need it in my life. Now. *le sigh*

On a side note, We've reached 1000 page views! I was so happy when I logged onto blogger after school. Thank you so much!
See ya soon guys. Leave me to ponder the strange-ness of my head.

P.s Just found myself bobbing alongside to the song absentmindedly. Isn't it such a good song?

#BigBlogmasProject Day: 2 Online outfit

 
Kinda had a little wave of "Wooooh! I have to put this together!" and I didn't really have all the 'ingredients' for making this outfit so I scoured the tinternet and used a site recommended to me called 'pic monkey' and I'm so happy. It's exactly what I needed. 'Tis beaut.
 
Also, we are we are now onto our second day of the #BigBlogmasProject and I haven't given up yet! Harrah! Oh joy of joys! (insert favourite happy phrase here) *he he*
 
See ya soon my lovelies

#BigBlogmasProject Day 1: Get your perfect christmas prezzie

Play this
On the first day of Chriiiiistmas my true love gave to meeeeeeee, a partridge in a pear treeeee!

Hello guys. Strawbs here. And you know what time it is? No, not adventure time, CHRISTMAS MONTH! HAZZAH! btw, In my mind, Christmas lasts a whole month, starting from December 1st. I don't even care if it isn't cold yet. Its Christmas to me. Shut up.

So, to kick start blogmas I'm going to show you how to buy cheaper Christmas prezzies for your parents, brothers, sisters, cats, dogs and parakeets. Really hope they help!

Set a budget

First of all, how many people are you buying gifts for. I know your family mean all the world to you, but you don't need to spend a lot to get a meaningful present. Then, you'll want to buy cards. One of the easiest ways to save cash on cards is buying plain white envelopes and cards from your local craft store and then decorating them yourself.  Most small craftstores sell them for £2 for 50 cards. More than enough. For decorating the cards you might need to buy felt tips : £1.99 for the cheapest set.

Get creative

Why not have a go at making something this year? There are plenty of things you can make! Why not try :
my English book
  • Redecorate an old notebook using wrapping paper (I did this with my English school book)
  • Make a bracelet
  • Have ago at tie dye! Dip dye cheap sneakers or reinvent the hippy leggings!
  • Make a denim bag out of a pair of old jeans. (I did this once when I was 9 with my mum)
  • Grab a whisk and get cooking! Try your hand at making chocolates, cookies and biscuits. Always appreciated!

Unleash your decorating monster!

You can go ca-raaaazy with this one. Make bows, do the that thing with the scissors and the ribbon to make it go curly, why not even try to make some wrapping paper? It will look pretty whatever you do.

That's all for now guys. See ya soon
