Retro Toys And Tea-Time Treats From Punky Allsort
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!
Retro gaming has never looked so cool!
Weâve just found out about an amazing exhibition thatâs happening in far away Los Angeles. âSuper I Am 8 Bitâ is a group art show where over 100 artists re-imagine their 80's gaming fantasies, delusions and secret desires via all sorts of media - painting, sculpture, plush, and even some more interactive experimentation. Get ready to see some classic computer game characters as you've never seen them before!
Check out this awesome flyer for the event, which features some of my favourite characters like Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic and Mega Man all leaping out into action from underneath Princess Peachâs skirt!
This short video shows one of the past events, and is a glimpse of the kind of goodies that you might expect to see at the new 2011 version. Keep your eyes peeled for a DJ using a GameBoy as a soundsystem!
For more information visit http://iam8bit.com/. It all sounds right up my street, itâs just a shame itâs so far away! Hereâs hoping that the exhibition can find itâs way to the UK at some point soon, don't keep a Nintendo fan boy waitingâ¦
Ode To The 80's
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!
Is what I really liked,
A true 80's child,
I was totally psyched!
I could rap all the words,
From beginning to end,
The Rock Chick's Back In Black
Before I started to guest blog for TruffleShuffle I was already a regular customer (some would say TS tees contributed to my current financial situation of ânot goodâ) and owned more than a few t-shirts in my Wardrobe.
Amongst those tees were a few from the label âAmplifiedâ who have an amazing range of music t-shirts. As much as I love my fashion, I love my music more but if I can combine the two then why not! So when TruffleShuffle asked me to do my next post based on a âRock Chickâ theme, I didnât have to think twice. And of course there was only one label that I was going to choose fromâ¦
Even though I will be the first to admit that I have the most random/eclectic taste in music (anything goes- within reason) one genre has to be a firm fave: Rock & Roll. It was tough choosing an Amplified tee as there are so many amazing tees to pick from but I really wanted one from the lyrics range. Unfortunately the ladies âI wanna be adoredâ Stone Roses tee was sold out but I wasnât upset for too long as the AC/DC âBack in Blackâ T Shirt wasnât!
AC squiggly line DCâs âBack in Blackâ is one of my favourite rock anthems ever. From the intro you are hooked. Itâs got everything a rock song should have in my opinion; epic guitar riffs, shouty vocals and catchy lyrics. This song definitely brings out the inner rock chick in me complete with air guitar and head banging.
My personal everyday style has a lot of rock influence so I found it pretty natural to style the tee. Taking inspiration from music videos from the early 80âs & 90âs (Madonna and Slash from Guns N Roses etc) to the modern day fashionistas such as Fearne Cotton, Kate Moss and Alice Dellal.
The t-shirt is actually quite long so in the first outfit photo Iâve folded it under to make it look shorter. One item every rock chick needs in her wardrobe is the biker jacket, guaranteed to give any outfit an edge. To inject slight colour into my outfit I opted for grey jeans instead of black. If only I owned some ripped stonewash jeans⦠(though my parents would not be impressed!) As it was such a nice day I chose black espadrille wedges, adding a bit of glamour to my look. My bandana scarf which I used as a makeshift belt is an ode to Guns N Roses front man Axl Roseâ¦
