Fabric Flavours = Flavour of the month! xoxo
Us TruffleShufflers are always on the look out for cool kids clothing. As a team - we're full of parents, aunties, uncles, broody singletons and such ...always put in the position 'what should I buy for the new baby!?' I'd say it's more difficult than buying for adults - these cute little babbers haven't found their own style yet - this is why they need your help!
With the help of Fabric Flavours t-shirts - we can make sure the 'kids of the kids of the 80's' look as sharp as can be when out and about.
First up - our super cool Star Wars babygrows...
Next up we have some retro kids t-shirts, suitable for kids between 1 and 7 years old...! With the likes of Superman, Spiderman and Hulk on your side - rest assured the little nipper will always be safe!

Minimalist Superheroes
There's nothing I like more than Trawling the internet for random pictures and videos. And every so often you find fresh artistic talent that just catches you eye, in this case made even better by its retro inspired theme. These Minimal Superhero Posters by art student Calvin Lin perfectly demonstrate my point.
The minimalist designs are great, from Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman to Green Lantern and others, every poster is also 100% clear, without ever showing too much.
I don't know about you, but I'd love these hung around my house!
Even Superheroes Get Old!
How cool are these amazing Superhero themed wax sculptures from the French artist Gilles Barbier.
Ceated as part of his 'LâHospice' installation, they depict his idea of how some of our favourite superheroes might be spending their retirement.
Flabby Catwoman sleeps after the lunch, Mr. Fantastic limbs are overstretched, The Incredible Hulk rests in his wheelchair, while Wonder Woman stands by Captain Americaâs gurney.
Check them all out below....
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!
Cycling Superheroes
Being a keen cyclist I was pedalling my way across the world wide web the other night when I came across some some fantastic illustrations by graphic designer/illustrator/fellow bike fiend Mike Joos.
If like me, you grew up reading comics you'll know some superheroes can fly through the air, some can scale skyscrapers and others can metamorphose into other beings. However, I don't remember them ever resorting to riding bicycles! Joos, has created the funny side of these superheroes with these illustrations in which each character rides a customized bike. What is even more clever is that each of the bicycles is somehow connected to the character that sits on it.
See a selection of our favourite bike-themed Joos pieces below:
