Today just last week I was lucky enough to be standing at the front of The Statue of Liberty herself as she gazed across the bay. Believe me I never thought I'd be saying that!

Oh yes, my week long Manhattan NYC adventure saw me up the Rockefeller Center (night) and Empire State (day), shopping in Soho, eating breakfast in Times Square of a morning, walking the High Rise, navigating Central Park, and more! What a dream!

Being such a huge retro fan (obviously) one thing that I was always on the look out for was the retro 80s fashion scene over in the states. Being my first time over the pond, I really didn't know what to expect. Would be be popular? Would they love all the same films and characters?

What awaited me when I hit the streets of Soho was simply amazing! Working at the wonderful world of TruffleShuffle had meant that I'm now pretty accustomed to seeing a huge amount of awesome tees, but this left me standing wide eyed and open mouthed like something out of a cartoon. No really!

It seems like this summer it’s almost impossible to get away from watching some form of sporting event, like the agony of watching England play in the euro’s, Wimbledon’s upon us this weekend and in the not so distant future the Olympics start in case you missed that bloke you never met running down your street carrying a torch! So, like a fat kid avoiding P.E I’ve faked a note from our mother excusing us from any physical activity and we fully expect to get away with it too. If you would like to join us on the proverbial side lines we have a mean packed lunch full of  gooey retro goodness and creamy nostalgia to get your movie loving fangs stuck into. Hope you enjoy!

Have a happy retro weekend :-)
