We're not the shy retiring types over here at TruffleShuffle, so we have to admit we are slightly loving the attention we've been getting in the press lately! And after already hitting the headlines at the beginning of last week, we were all over them again at the end of the week! Zoo featured our Chunk 'Where's My Tent?' T-Shirt in their feature on stand-out tees, Love It! were loving our Amplified Rolling Stones Union Jack Vest Dress, Top Of The Pops Magazine got a sugar rush for our Dolly Mixtures Bracelet and Mizz showed you how to colour-block with our Classic Casio Watch in Blue. All of the products featured in this weeks press are just perfect for the summer, so if you're feeling the heat, get yours now!

We have been getting ourselves a little bit too excited about the new lyrics t-shirts from Amplified, but it seems so now are Reveal magazine who tweeted and posted on their Facebook how much they were loving them today! Check out the screen grabs below and click on the images to see their tweets and Facebook posts in real life! Speaking of tweeting, make sure you are following TruffleShuffle on Twitter, you can tweet us on @truffleshuffle_ we're always twittering away!!

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!

We're always adding shedloads of awesome new stuff to the site but here's a few of our favourites from this week....

With only 25 days to go to THE BIG DAY, we're starting to get pretty excited about the impending Royal Wedding and our new fit for a Princess, Little Miss tee is the perfect way to welcome the celebrations. With sparkly blue jewels on her golden crown, Little Miss Princess is the latest addition to the classic series of children's stories, created by Adam Hargreaves in time for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Our exclusive tee features a shot of her in all her royal glory making it perfect for any fellow princesses in waiting! Click the pic to find out more...

This unmistakeable Kiss tee from Amplified is definitely a stand out design from their Spring Summer collection.  Featuring a cracking shot of Kiss frontman, Gene Simmons complete of course with his trademark facepaint, we think this Lick It Up tee is a future Amplified classic.

If TruffleShuffle did cameras.........

Oh wait, we do! This is no ordinary bit of kit though. Built completely from LEGO bricks, it can’t be taken apart but bricks can be added to the top or bottom of the camera so you can dig out your old toy box and start putting those boxes of lego back into use. Perfect for us grown ups who can still smell those little plastics bricks as if we were ten years old, kids will obviously love it too making it perfect for their first foray into the world of photography. Let's be clear, this is no toy though; it’s a full functioning 3 Megapixel digital camera, featuring a color 1.5” LCD screen.  It takes high quality photos with the built-in flash, fixed focus and digital zoom and  holds up to 80 photos at a time. Prepare for the nods of approval when you get this out and start snapping away.....

Last Thursday, alarm clocks set at 3am (yes, that's right) us TruffleShuffle buyers, hazily awoke from our slumbers and prepared ourselves for a long day of trade show fun. The destination, Bread & Butter in Berlin. This is where we head for a bi-annual buying trip, a place to meet up with existing suppliers for a chin-wag and view of the new collections for 2011. It's also a fab opportunity to source new ranges and expand our current supplier base as we are always super keen to introduce new exciting brands and product to the site.

Upon arriving at Heathrow, the first thing on our minds was BREKKIE! We needed some serious fuel for the day ahead and some kind of a feast to keep us awake and perky! After checking in, we swiftly made our way to Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food restaurant and one Eggs Norwegian, one full English, one Pancakes with banana, two apple juices and two coffees later we were ready to go!

Taking off at 7.05am, we flew high above the clouds and took in the most stunning sun rise; some more coffees and a little nap later, we had arrived! Set in the amazing old Tempelhof airport, Bread & Butter attracts buyers from all over the world and is a showcase for major brands such as Replay and Superdry as well as smaller up and coming brands.
