We've Got Company!

Flick through the pages of your latest copy of Company's High Street Edit and you will find some truly inspirational features, where not just one, but two of our glorious tees appear! Firstly, our rock chick must-have, the Led Zeppelin 1977 tshirt from Amplified Vintage which has been teamed with a simple, crisp white shirt, racy leather skirt, plaited belt, statement necklace and this season's big hit wedge heel.

Then there's our iconic 80's Frankie Says Relax tee. Worn with skin-tight, stonewash denim, burgandy brogues and a quintisentially English Bowler hat, giving it that all important Spring, Summer '11 twist! OR with a mid length pleated skirt, cropped denim jacket and a pair of retro high tops!

Be A Wonder Woman

Sorry guys but this Spring we’re bringing Girl Power back!

No I’m 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 what’s 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:

“By 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 Woman…”  *drifts off into a dream sequence*

Ten Favourite Retro Computer Games on Ten Retro Platforms!

Some of us have been getting a touch into Call of Duty recently, but is it as satisfying and addictive as games of old? Well, to be fair, modern games are a million times better than oldschool games in so many different ways. But a little piece of us longs to be back in the day when you could do your homework whilst waiting for your Sepctrum to load (oh, and don't forget to turn the cassette over halfway through). Or show off to your mates with your very own Duck Hunt bazooka.

So, we came up with 10 blasts from the past - perhaps not the very best games around in the 80s and 90s, but these special little treats still hold dear memories in our slowly numbing fingers. I'm actually humming the California Games song whilst writing this post!

Donkey Kong II Hand Held

Rockstar Ate My Hamster on Spectrum ZX

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on GameBoy

New Zealand Story on Amiga

James Pond II Robocod on Atari ST

Felix (on) The Cat(walk)!

That purring preener Felix The Cat definitely has an everlasting vintage appeal. Since his first steps out of the catflap way back in the 1920's, we have grown to love this silent (but stylish) tomcat! Cementing his uber cool credentials yet again, Jean Charles De Castelbajac's Spring Summer'11 collection features the silent-movie star embedded in wild, tribal prints. Way to go Felix! Check out these beauties to take you through from day to night in feline fashion (limited stocks mind folks!)...
