Claire and I were very lucky darlings indeed last Friday when we crossed the West-East divide, teetering our way over to London hot on the heels of the fash pack on route to London Fashion Week. After a quick stop off at the Chaser LA showrooms, where we saw some pretty amazing new collections due over the coming months and new year (keep your eyes peeled) we headed over to the Strand and Somerset House. We have been drooling over the Minnie Mawi collection for Disney Couture over the past couple of weeks here at Truffle Towers so it was very exciting to go and see all the stunning up and coming pieces at the Fashion Week exhibition. We were met by the lovely Sandra and Lisette, who looked very at home in the uber fashionable surroundings. I managed to get a few snaps whilst I was there...

After taking a tour around, seeing some stunning new brands showcasing their latest collections, stopping for coffees and people watching, I scampered off, Hoxton-bound for some fun times and slightly dodgy 90's rave dancing flaunting my new favourite thing, my Ivory Pearl Minnie Mawi Bib Necklace!

This week we've just launched a brand new collection of Ghostbusters T-shirts from Fame and Fortune.  Of course this got everyone in the office buzzing, but I was most excited of all cause designing these Tees was my first ever project for TruffleShuffle!  Seeing the final results of my work is such a great feeling and it took me back to when I had just started working here as a designer.  For me there couldn’t have been a more perfect starting point as I am a huge fan of the classic film, I remember that I couldn’t wait to get started!

The first step towards building a new collection of tees is to really research your subject, so luckily for me it was the perfect opportunity to spend an evening in and watch the film again for the 100th time, any excuse will do!  I knew there were a number of bases I had to cover, everyone loves Stay Puft, Slimer is a definite and we really wanted to see the Ecto-1, but it was really useful (and fun) to see the film again as it refreshed my mind and reminded me of some really classic catchphrases and scenes.  It was the best way to get me back in the Ghostbusting state of mind!

As well as the ultra popular “Who ya gonna call?” and “I ain’t afraid of no ghost” I loved the phrases “Don’t cross the streams” and “When the light is green the trap is clean” and was determined to get them included on one of the tees!

I also included the Ghostbusters Montage design to show our four heroes fighting against some of the monsters from the film as well as a special appearance from the ghost best know from the films main logo!

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 proposal…

Instead of being in front of the camera, I thought wouldn’t 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 we’re 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 TruffleShufflers’ how some of the men’s tees look worn on.

As a keen photographer, I offered to “get my pap on” 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 wasn’t 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.

We were left positively drooling at these new arrivals from the super-sweet brand Punky Allsorts! Lovingly hand-made, just like mama's fairy-cakes, these utterly scrumptious delights are the perfect pick-me-up treat (and completely calorie free!)

And, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, these absolutely gorgeous and nostalgic goodies turned up! How we loved building castles from Lego and practicing our Care Bear stares back when we were little!

One of TruffleShuffle's favourite Facebook fans Ashlea Davies has written this amazing poem for us and we wanted to share it with you all as if you are a child of the 80's it will certainly bring back some memories!

The Fresh Prince Of Bell Air,

Is what I really liked,

A true 80's child,

I was totally psyched!

I could rap all the words,

From beginning to end,
