You Need Nickelodeon!

Have you got fond memories of rushing home from school and slumping in front of the amazing kids channel Nickelodeon for hours on end?  Or maybe you even appreciated the finer points of it's cartoons as an adult, like I do now!  Either way, we've got a treat for you to help remember those halcyon days!

First up we have the deliciously dark Invader Zim!  This series was about an extraterrestrial named Zim from the Planet Irk, and his ongoing mission to destroy the planet Earth, which (luckily for us) never seemed to go to plan!  Our tee features his quirky and loveable robot servant GIR, who was the ultimate fan favourite from the show.

Next up we have the awesomely bright and colourful show Rocko's Modern Life which aired between 1993 and 1996.  This show was based around the surreal adventures of a wallaby named Rocko, and his life in the city of O-Town.  Originally from Australia, it showed the hardships of Rocko adjusting to the American way of life!  Our brand new T-Shirt focuses on Rocko and his faithful dingodog Spunky.

Rock 'n' Roll....definitely our cup of tee!

With so many festivals going on, rocking reunions, anniversaries and such - we thought it would be only fair to pay homage to some of the best rock bands around (past AND present!)

When it comes to retro inspired music t-shirts - we really do have quite a lot to shout about. With names like Chaser LA, Amplified Vintage, Junk Food and Worn Free - getting the Rock Chick look couldn't be easier!

Being a massive fan of anything Rock n Roll inspired, I thought I'd take you through my top 5 'rock' items on the site - and introduce you to some of the new ranges we've recently added.

First up, Rolling Stones- these cheeky chaps have just celebrated their 50th anniversary. Out of our collection of Rolling Stones clothing, this speckled sweater from Amplified Vintage has to be my favourite...perfect for wearing over a band tee!

Join the Kiss army, by showing your support for the iconic band with this Amplified Vintage Khaki t-shirt!

I'm addicted to Wayfarer sunglasses - and look at all this choice!

In eager anticipation of a bit of sunshine, I've decided to look on the brighter side and show you what TruffleShuffle has to offer the Wayfarer sunglasses buyer.

Wayfarers were designed back in 1952, but I think its true to say (looking at our fantastic range) that they are as popular as ever. Showing that this classic design has really stood the test of time and that the wayfarer is a design the will never go out of fashion.

Ranging from the classic look to the brightly coloured and bold. Whatever catches your eye, we have a pair of wayfarers suitable for every occasion!

To help you find your perfect pair I've picked my 6 favourite, I hope you like them as much as I do.

Prices start at just £9.99! You can check out the full range here.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 12!

Oh my stars! The days get longer and the weeks get shorter but the weekend remains the same - full of  nostalgic cinematic retroactive joyfulness!

We totally enjoyed “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” last weekend so we’re dead happy to see that “Temple Of Doom” is on this weekend. There’s a real mixed bag of treats in store including a randy British spy, giant green people, an alien and the Batman, “Ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light?” now I love Batman but I still don’t know what that line means or why I remember it, anyone help me out with this?!

Have a happy retro Weekend Folks :-)

Lst months winner bagged herself a £50 gift voucher by telling us about her purchase of the (incredibly popular) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Backpack!

''This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I've always loved the TMNT. I love the facts that it's strong and I can fit my macbook in it! For me fitting my macbook in a bag to go on holiday is an essential, I can't go a day without the internet (guilty). Also my kitten loves chilling in it. I looked for this back pack everywhere and I only saw US online stores selling them, so I went on truffle shuffle (which was my first time visiting the site) and I was so amazed by all the cool stuff that you guys were selling, I was literally drooling on my keyboard... When I saw you guys were selling the back pack I did a flip in the air and slid down a rainbow on a unicorn (true story) and I bought it straight away. I was inspired to buy this back pack when I saw LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem and Jenna Marbles videos, I was like "That's a cool back pack I want to buy one" so that's what I obviously did :) The service was amazing and quick, only took two days. I also realised that Truffle Shuffle's location is in Bristol which is where I live! Because of the amazing challenge I plan on buying more stuff from Truffle Shuffle. I have my eyes on a Darth Vader t-shirt (Fun fact: My grandad was good friends with David Prowse aka Darth Vader) and a hat for my magical pet unicorn. I sent a bunch of links to the truffle shuffle store to my friend through facebook and she loves the store and wants to buy everything. 5 stars ***** Thanks for my Ninja Turtle Back Pack Truffle shuffle!''
