The Jumpers of Christmas Past...
The world has literally gone crazy for kitsch, Cheesy Christmas Jumpers (or ugly jumpers as some people like to call them).
We have been hooked ever since Colin Firth fashioned a rather fetching Reindeer Jumper in Bridget Jones Diary, but it doesn't end or even begin there. The cult of the Christmas Jumper has reigned for quite some time now. Ever since grannies decided to take up knitting needles, keeping themselves busy with increasingly intricate, vivid, sparkly and even 3D, festive woolen fantasies, people have been either proudly flaunting this festive fashion or begrudgingly obliged to wear it at family functions.
If it seems all too familiar, you will probably recognise the deliberate fashion faux-pas from some of your favourite movies and TV shows. Remember these?
Check Out Ooo-r Amazing New Adventure Time T-Shirts!
As huuuuge cartoon fans, naturally a lot of our time each day is spent watching them, talking about them, and maybe even drooling over our fab collection of Cartoon T-Shirts that we've worked so hard to compile. With so many amazing new series to pick from as well as the old classic, it's hard to know where to start! One of our top picks for sure has got to be the amazing Adventure Time series which has taken the world by storm and earned a cult status for both young and (ahem) older viewers.
For those not in the know yet....get on it! Taking place in the post-apocalyptic land of Ooo, sometimes awkward teen boy Finn and his adopted talking shape-changing dog Jake find themselves in some pretty amazing adventures with the other list of regular characters including the likes of Princess Bubblegum, The Ice King and Marceline the Vampire Queen.
What ourselves and many many others out there love it's all out creativity, coupled with the amazing relationships and story lines that not only sooth us after a long day but can also leave us with some good old fashioned life lesions and teachings. What a show! :)

As we hit a montage of us high fiving our wingman for retro movie greatness, weâll take off and tail spin for cinematic awesomeness before an aerial assault of celluloid magnificence.

Guest Post: More Yo-Yo Than YOLO!
Hello! Let me quickly introduce myself, my name is Nikki and I am a fashion blogger from Passerellauk, but most importantly of all, I'm a fully fledged 80's baby!
Growing up in the 80's was pretty amazing wasn't it? There are so many things that make the 80's great. If you've all but forgot the crazy times of the 80's, then let me jog your memory a little.
Remember Ring pops, Yo Yo's and Spokey dokes?
We all remember the good old fashioned Yo Yo right? Can you remember the one that lit up? The Coca-Cola spinner? Most people still don't understand why they were so popular... Why were they so cool? It was all because in 1989 the UK was gripped by Yo Yo fever.. and everyone got involved from our friends, to our mums and dads! We took them to school, we took them to the park, we swapped them, replaced them and finally, got very bored of them and that was the end of the Yo Yo craze! I have to be honest, I never learnt one trick, but if I saw a Yo Yo today I would probably have a go.

10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About...Mr Men & Little Miss
As you know, we're huuuuge Mr Men & Little Miss fans! So much so we tucked ourselves away and worked as hard as ever to create and bring you our exclusive range of Mr Men T-Shirts AND Little Miss T-Shirts! We might have mentioned them once or twice already :) But hey....classic designs at only £14.99! Who can blame us right?
While digging our way through the iconic stories and books, it got us thinking of a cool little post we could do where we dive in and seek out some cool, interesting and perhaps shocking facts about one of our all-time favourite books. So here it is! Check out our 10 Things You Didn't Know About Mr Men & Little Miss!
1) "What's a tickle look like?" That was the question which launched the series, asked by a young Adam Hargreaves of his dad Roger. Inspired, Roger created the first Mr Men book, Mr Tickle, in 1971. Another five books came out that year.
2) The Mr Men books have been translated into 15 languages, and in this process several other Mr Men characters have been created by editors around the world, such as "Madame Oui" in France. Additionally, some characters have been renamed for foreign markets, such as Mr Jelly, who is known as Mr Nervous in the USA.
