Guest Post: Rock Chick vs Geek Chic
Just before Christmas, me and fellow blogger Emily Jayne were discussing our favourite TruffleShuffle 80's t-shirts, as you do. It was interesting to see how although we had similar tastes our personal style is so different. So whereas I was more ârock chickâ, Emily was more âgeek chicâ.
Thatâs the beauty of TruffleShuffle, there is something for everyone. Whether you grew up listening to your favourite punk rock band or watching Neighbours, there is a t-shirt to bring back those good memories!
We thought weâd embrace our individual styles by joining forces for a âRock Chick vs Geek Chicâ photo-shoot, picking a TruffleShuffle tee to take you from day to night. Choosing a t-shirt from TruffleShuffle is always hard because there is SO much choice but in the end I chose a David Bowie t-shirt and Emily a She-Ra Tee. Very fitting for our themes!
For my day look I wore my Bowie tee with some leather look trousers, cowboy boot heels, a camouflaged army jacket and my wolf Spirithood (it kept my head nice and warm)!
It’s cool to be a mum of the 80′s!
With Mothers Day fast approaching, it's time to consider what gift you're going to treat her to - and as always - TruffleShuffle have it covered! The only question you have to ask yourself is 'What kind of Mum is she?' - then you can leave the rest to us!
If, like mine - your mum was responsible for some disastrous home made Super Hero costumes as you were growing up, then why not show her how 'times have changed' by treating her to a 'Girl Power-esque' t-shirt or accessory. With the likes of Wonder Woman, She-ra and Supergirl - you're bound to find something that will save the day!
Fancy herself as a bit of a Goddess in the kitchen? If so - then what better way to spice up her kitchen than with some quirky retro homeware gifts. This week we had some amazing goodies hit the TruffleShuffle shelves - including the Monopoly Board Tea Towel which would look great tucked into any of our aprons while she's cooking your favourite home made meals! We also recently added some amazing Espresso sets from Twister and Cluedo - you can check out the full range by clicking here.
With our wide range of 80's music t-shirts - she can show off her appreciation for all her favourite bands, while rocking one of our funky t-shirts. In a variety of shapes and colours, we have something for everyone. For our full range of music t-shirts and gifts click here.
Comic Con 2011!
If youâre anything like us then you'll be eagerly waiting for the 42nd annual San Diego Comic Con to begin next weekend! For those not in the know, Comic Con is for anyone who's really into comic book, films, TV shows, and anything else nerdy! It's basically a huge gathering (over 120,000 strong so really, really HUGE!) of enthusiasts (generally dressed up as their favourite characters) all coming together to share their stories and trade their wares. The best bit is that you get to meet the creators, artists and stars of some of these amazing productions which is why it's such a mecca!
Originally started by a group of comic book fans in the San Diego Area, the first convention was held in the basement of the U.S. Grant Hotel with an attendance of just 300 people.The convention has moved about throughout the years, going from the U.S. Grant Hotel to the University Of California At San Diego and finally to the San Diego Convention Center. In that time, it has grown to an attendance of over 100,000 people and has expanded to four days. It has now become the largest comic book convention in the world so it's pretty special!
So are any of you lot going this year and if so - seeing as it's pretty much obligatory to dress up, we figured we'd run down some of our favourite Fancy Dress Costumes to help get you sorted!
First off, you could be flying off to comic con in proper old school style with this amazing official Superman costume. It's all you need to woo your adoring crowd and go about your super hero activities! Proudly show off your ripped torso and world saving capabilities for all to see! And all that for £36 too!
