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)!
Introducing Urban Species exciting new collaborations!
We are very proud to present two of Urban Species brand new collaborations, they have designed exciting new ranges with esteemed artist Sidney Maurer and iconic publication Life Magazine. Released together these fab new Urban Species T-Shirts celebrate famous Hollywood, Sports and Music icons as well as nostalgic 90's pop culture. I'll give a quick run down of these brand new tees.
Girls wanted to get with him, guys wanted to be him, Johnny Depp was the epitome of cool in the 80's and 90's (and still is in our opinion!). This awesome tee, celebrates this icon against a jazzy 90's background and is part of the new Life Magazine collection for Urban Species.
This great, new, vintage style tee from the Life Magazine collection for Urban Species celebrates the genius of one of America's greatest musicians, Johnny Cash who brought us such cult classics as, I Walk The Line and Ring Of Fire.
Will Smith was where is was at in the 80's and 90's. Not only was he hot, cool and funny, he had a starring role in US comedy Fresh Prince Of Bel Air and a penchant for rapping alongside Jazzy Jeff. What a treat this Urban Species tee is, from their Life Magazine collection, we are loving the 90's style design which shows Will off to a tee!
