Our Top #truffleshufflecom Instagrams!
Hello Truffle fans!
Yep, we're back again with another head first dive into the latest and greatest Instagram snaps that all of our lovely fans and customers have been taking and posting to their very own Instagram pages.
We've had sooo much love on there lately we really can't thank you enough. With more and more people showing off their latest purchases, we simply love getting to see all of our fab designs out in the real world and in their loving new homes. Every pictures put a big smile on our faces.
To help even further spread the love, we've plucked out some of our favourite snaps from you guys so you can see what's been going on and hopefully inspire you to also show off some of your retro items! Take a look at some TruffleShuffle fans....
Get ALL OVER Our Amazing New Exclusive Mr Gugu & Miss Go Range!
We LOVE how the fab prints on a Mr Gugu & Miss Go tee go all around, up and down and around about, basically covering the whole garment from top to toe (or neck to hem). This makes them super special, splendiferous creations which really make a statement and stand out from a regular, run of the mill tee (not that you will find any of those on our site, thank you, no siree Bob).
And what's more the designers here at Truffle Towers and Mr Gugu & Miss Go have been collaborating, resulting in our very own range of EXCLUSIVE tees, sweaters and gorgeous dresses. So do not tarry and get yourself on down to our home TruffleShuffle.com to sample some of these delicious delights!
NEW IN
Classic 80s Movie Posters Recreated...With Kids
Here at Truffle Towers, we love a new twist on something classic. Be it a friendly mix of The Godfather and Transformers resulting in our Tronfather T-Shirt, or maybe even a mash up of Pink Floyd and Button Moon giving us our Dark Side of Button Moon T-Shirts, we have always had an eye on other peoples interpretations of the classic films and TV shows from our 'not too distant' past.
On one of our many travels through the weird and wonderful world of cyberspace, we stumbled over some fantastic recreations of classic 80s films posters this time using some cheeky chappies. Utterly adorable, and such a cool idea, take a look at what we found...
Can you think of any other classic retro posters you've love to see getting the same treatment? Let us know with a comment below. :)
Jump up, jump up & get down, JUMP-ER round!
Soon enough it'll be time to retire that Christmas jumper for another year, so what will you replace it with? Retro jumpers are a good shout!!
It just so happens that TruffleShuffle has quite the collection of said retro jumpers, sweaters, whatever you call them... Designs available from some of our favourite brands including Junk Food, Chunk and Amplified!
So once the festive period has subsided you know where to come for funky jumpers. Take a look at my favourites...
Summer Colours To Brighten Your Wardrobe!
Ok, so we know we are not exactly enjoying much of a "Summer" at the moment however we have been brightening up our daily attire with some fabulous new TruffleShuffletees which help to lift the gloom of all this rain! We thought we would give you a little insight into the summer colours we are loving right now so you too can forget about the dreary weather and brighten up your outfits! ;-)
Ladies First - we are old "fashion"ed like that! Whether you look Pretty In Pink, fancy yourself as a bit of a Baywatch babe, Big Bang Theory nerd or just love a bit of Disney and My Little Pony we have the tee for you, which will you choose?
If super bright isn't quite your style you could always opt for a slightly less "in your face" pastel colour which is very much on trend at the moment, see our selection of perfect pastels featuring everything from Button Moon, Raggy Dolls, Moomins, Guess Who, Cluedo and Jem And The Holograms!
If none of these are your cup of "tee" you can check out the full range of Ladies T-shirts on the site to find your perfect summer treat!
Now for the men, whatever your style we have the summer colour to suit. Whether you're more Sesame Street or Simpsons, Superheros or Sports we have it covered with these bright colours featuring Harry Potter, Coca Cola and music tees!
Guest Post – meet the lovely Claire from 80scartoons!
Hiya!
I'm Claire and run 80sCartoons.co.uk which began back in 1998....has it really been that long? I was at art college in Dundee trying to teach myself web design, and had created a little homepage (most likely with a hideous tiled background, blinking text and animated gifs galore!) which mentioned a few of my favourite childhood cartoons
Any visitors that found my site (probably through Alta Vista or Lycos! Life before Google eh!) and signed my guestbook always commented on the cartoons and suggested more of their favourites that I should add...and so it grew from there!
Now it getting over 1,000 nostalgia-hungry visitors every day, and currently has over 8,000 Facebook followers! The demand for all things retro increases every year, especially as sites like TruffleShuffle have so many wonderful 80s goodies on offerto help to keep those memories alive!
Iâve been very lucky while running 80sCartoons, as Iâve managed to speak directly to many 80s cartoons âcelebsâ. If someone told me when I was 8 years old, that one day Iâd be talking directly with the maker of Button Moon, the animator of the Raggy Dolls, the creator of Jimbo and the Jet-Set the list goes on... I would have fallen off my rollerboots!
Iâve interviewed Terry Brain, who co-created Trap Door, which was a special treat for me as I was a huge fan back in the day. He also animated Stoppit and Tidyup, and went on to work for Aardman animation â that man is a legend! Amonst other things, he told me that Berk, Boni, Drutt & the big sponge were his favourite character creations and that his favourite Trap Door episode was 'Bye Bye Berk'!
