Sunny, You Goonie!
Heeyyy you guys!
Itâs been a little while since I submitted a guest post for TruffleShuffle, so I thought Iâd better make this one a really good one!
Well I donât know about you but there was clearly only one topic that I could talk about:
âThe Gooniesâ
Probably one of the best films EVER. You can quote me on that one too!
A few weeks ago, The Goonies was on one of the TV channels. Despite the fact that I have it on DVD and must have watched it at least a trillion times, I always get excited when it comes on. So much so I have to let all my friends and family know itâs on. You can't beat watching it live! :)
Fame & Fortune with TruffleShuffle
Blogging for Wardrobe Mag & TruffleShuffle, I find myself in front of the camera a lot awkwardly posing in the most beautiful of clothes. So when those lovely folks at the TruffleShuffle towers asked me to think of ideas for my next guest post, I had a slightly different proposalâ¦
Instead of being in front of the camera, I thought wouldnât it be refreshing for everyone to have a break from my lovely mug (ahem) and give someone else a go. Now before you pull that confused expression hear me out.
With it being summer (you know that brief period in our yearly calendar when this strange yellow thing called the Sun comes out and weâre all so happy and hot) I thought it would be cool to maybe do a mini photo-shoot. I also thought it would be perfect to show you male TruffleShufflersâ how some of the menâs tees look worn on.
As a keen photographer, I offered to âget my pap onâ and take the pictures. With TruffleShuffle providing the t shirts it was just the models left to gather. Unfortunately Kate Moss was busy back then with her pending nuptials but step forward two of the Wardrobe Mag girls: Steph and Bhavna. Now getting a bunch of guys to model wasnât as easy as I thought it would be but three superhero studs came to my rescue. Once again thank you Anthony, Alex and Kieran.
Now where does one do a super cool summer photo-shoot at? Well the park of course! Where else can we mix a bit of business and pleasure? Just a shame the kiddies had taken over the swings and slides, how inconsiderate.
The Rock Chick's Back In Black
Before I started to guest blog for TruffleShuffle I was already a regular customer (some would say TS tees contributed to my current financial situation of ânot goodâ) and owned more than a few t-shirts in my Wardrobe.
Amongst those tees were a few from the label âAmplifiedâ who have an amazing range of music t-shirts. As much as I love my fashion, I love my music more but if I can combine the two then why not! So when TruffleShuffle asked me to do my next post based on a âRock Chickâ theme, I didnât have to think twice. And of course there was only one label that I was going to choose fromâ¦
Even though I will be the first to admit that I have the most random/eclectic taste in music (anything goes- within reason) one genre has to be a firm fave: Rock & Roll. It was tough choosing an Amplified tee as there are so many amazing tees to pick from but I really wanted one from the lyrics range. Unfortunately the ladies âI wanna be adoredâ Stone Roses tee was sold out but I wasnât upset for too long as the AC/DC âBack in Blackâ T Shirt wasnât!
AC squiggly line DCâs âBack in Blackâ is one of my favourite rock anthems ever. From the intro you are hooked. Itâs got everything a rock song should have in my opinion; epic guitar riffs, shouty vocals and catchy lyrics. This song definitely brings out the inner rock chick in me complete with air guitar and head banging.
My personal everyday style has a lot of rock influence so I found it pretty natural to style the tee. Taking inspiration from music videos from the early 80âs & 90âs (Madonna and Slash from Guns N Roses etc) to the modern day fashionistas such as Fearne Cotton, Kate Moss and Alice Dellal.
The t-shirt is actually quite long so in the first outfit photo Iâve folded it under to make it look shorter. One item every rock chick needs in her wardrobe is the biker jacket, guaranteed to give any outfit an edge. To inject slight colour into my outfit I opted for grey jeans instead of black. If only I owned some ripped stonewash jeans⦠(though my parents would not be impressed!) As it was such a nice day I chose black espadrille wedges, adding a bit of glamour to my look. My bandana scarf which I used as a makeshift belt is an ode to Guns N Roses front man Axl Roseâ¦
Bag it up!
Just as we were beginning to enjoy the sun, in true British weather fashion itâs been nothing but rain and wind since. No wonder The Beatles once sang about getting their âtan from standing in the English rain!â
So itâs back to layering up and bringing out the warm jackets- sad times. One thing I love about Truffle Shuffle is that not only does it sell awesome t-shirts but theyâve got a great collection of retro accessories and gifts which they keep adding to it.
Jeez, is there anything on this site I donât want? *rhetorical question alert*
Last month Truffle Shuffle introduced the totally retro label Casio to the site and this time they now bring another retro brand back to our attention: Gola.
Growing up everyone knew of the brand Gola. It was as well-known as other sporting brands such as Adidas. I donât think you can get more retro than Gola! In fact Iâm sure I had some Gola trainers when I was a wee childâ¦.
Well you too can now fondly remember your childhood Gola days thanks to Truffle Shuffle. The site now features a range of Gola bags in a variety of sizes and colours.
Time to RELAX!
So spring is finally here and for us fashionistaâs that can only mean one thing: Spring wardrobe!
Weâve had the odd miserable day but the sun has come out and weâre ready to play. Finally, we can ditch our chunky knits for light layering and swap our hats and scarves for sunglasses.
The best thing about the sunshine is when youâre stuck for something to wear just follow the advice of those Jersey Shore boys from MTV (ahem) and opt for âT-shirt time!â
Yes, the t-shirt is a vital addition to any spring/summer wardrobe; in fact there isnât any day of the year where you cannot wear a tee. Iâm not just talking about any t-shirts- oh no, Iâm talking about those bad boy tees at TruffleShuffle.com
One of my favourite t-shirts from the website is this Frankie Says Relax tee, a steal at £20.00. This iconic tee is a wardrobe must have! With the sun out, I wasted no time in putting on my shades and trying to take Frankieâs advice by relaxing in front of the camera.
For my spring outfit I wore my t-shirt with one of the hottest colours of this season- cinnamon. The dark denim shirt compliments the two colours well and makes a light cover up instead of a jacket or cardigan. To finish off my outfit I simply added some mirrored aviators, my Keds and my brand new but totally retro Casio watch.
Be A Wonder Woman
Sorry guys but this Spring weâre bringing Girl Power back!
No Iâm not talking about The Spice Girls but our favourite super heroine is back with a POW! I am of course talking about the greatest female DC Super hero: Wonder Woman.
With news of a new TV series on the pipeline and a MAC makeup collaboration out, the worlds going Wonder Woman crazy- again. And whatâs not to love about her? Not only did she look incredibly HOT but this was one lady not to be messed with. Anyone who could wear a bustier and fight crime using her golden tiara as a weapon gets my vote!
If all the super hero talk has got you excited then why not get in on the action with the fab range of Wonder Woman t-shirts and gifts from truffle shuffle:
âBy day I am Sunny Gill, Wardrobe Mag blogger. But with a quick spin (and five minutes to get over the dizziness) I turn into Wonder Womanâ¦â *drifts off into a dream sequence*
