Looking to add to your vintage tee collection? Look no further! Junk Food have just introduced this brand new ORIGINALS collection and boy, are we chomping at the bit to get our hands on some of these prize beauties!
Incorporating that vintage, lived-in, loved and faded look we all love from a real vintage tee, Junk Food have really focused on the finer details and used hand drawn graphics, real vintage fabrics, special washes and dye treatments to re-create an authentic and unique range of tees which also feature classic prints from a nostalgic, bygone era. All hail Junk Food, we applaud this new range for Spring Summer '11 and can't wait to flaunt our new(ish) tees at music festivals, in sunny parks, on our hols, down the pub and well, everywhere!
Summer, When The Vest Is Best…
We are loving all this glorious sunshine and can't wait to let our skin breathe and soak up some rays in some of our stunning ladies vests this Summer! Here are some of our hot picks to see you through the season of sun!
Time to RELAX!
So spring is finally here and for us fashionistaâs that can only mean one thing: Spring wardrobe!
Weâve had the odd miserable day but the sun has come out and weâre ready to play. Finally, we can ditch our chunky knits for light layering and swap our hats and scarves for sunglasses.
The best thing about the sunshine is when youâre stuck for something to wear just follow the advice of those Jersey Shore boys from MTV (ahem) and opt for âT-shirt time!â
Yes, the t-shirt is a vital addition to any spring/summer wardrobe; in fact there isnât any day of the year where you cannot wear a tee. Iâm not just talking about any t-shirts- oh no, Iâm talking about those bad boy tees at TruffleShuffle.com
One of my favourite t-shirts from the website is this Frankie Says Relax tee, a steal at £20.00. This iconic tee is a wardrobe must have! With the sun out, I wasted no time in putting on my shades and trying to take Frankieâs advice by relaxing in front of the camera.
For my spring outfit I wore my t-shirt with one of the hottest colours of this season- cinnamon. The dark denim shirt compliments the two colours well and makes a light cover up instead of a jacket or cardigan. To finish off my outfit I simply added some mirrored aviators, my Keds and my brand new but totally retro Casio watch.
Stone Roses give their approval to their hit Fools Gold being sampled by Wretch 32
Grime artist Wretch 32 has used the bassline from The Stone Rosesâ 1989 classic, Fools Gold on his new single Unorthodox and King Monkey Ian Brown has given it his royal seal of approval.
Set to be a Summer smash, The Sun say 'North Londoner Wretch explained his joy at Brown giving the all clear to sample Fool's Gold revealing that the indie icon had given the nod to his song. The track, which features fellow rapper Example, is a surprising use of the 90s hit but it works really well with an infectious chorus guaranteed to make it an anthem.'
Check out the new version HERE and let us know what you think. Does it even come close to the original or is it an improvement in your opinion? Gotta admit, it does kind of get stuck in your head but then that's most probably thanks to The Stone Roses influence!
Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?
I was asked just that by trade magazine Womenswear Buyer WWB this month and after much thought and a little help from the office girlies, plumped for Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry.
Why? Well she'd be flashy, feisty and (we imagine) fabulous fun. Ideally sheâd turn up in one of her iconic 80âs outfits, complete with two tone blonde hair and armed with a karaoke machine.
The perfect night in! If only.....
Who would you choose?
