We've recently been getting obsessed with Tumblr, which is a social networking site that lets you share cool photos, videos and links.  It's a little bit like Twitter but with more of an emphasis on pictures, and we love it!  If you've never heard of it now's the perfect time to have a look, and what better place to start than with our freshly updated TruffleShuffle Tumblr page!

We particularly love blogging with Tumblr because it's so simple and easy to keep it updated with new posts.  From fab new clothing and gifts we've just added to the site, as well as tons of cool stuff that's caught our eye, made us laugh or kept us inspired.  Also because we've got everyone in the office adding posts it's a real melting pot of great imagery so there's bound to be something you'll have fun looking at!

One of our favourite recent posts was about the artist Jason Freeny who gave some of our Truffle favourites an anatomical makeover, kinda creepy but very cool!

So if we've convinced you to give Tumblr a try, give us a 'follow', we'd 'like' it very much!  TruffleShuffleTumblr

We love Bread and Butter! Every year after Christmas when everyone else is feeling gloomy, Claire and I get all excited about the trip to Berlin where we see new and existing fashion brands showcased at the wonderful Bread And Butter trade show. It's a great opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and meet tons of new ones too and this time we had the added bonus of our lovely colleague James' company!

It's an early start, heading off from Bristol, Heathrow bound, at the un-godly hour of 3am. A couple of bleary eyed hours later, we found ourselves seated ready for some top nosh breakfast at Gordon Ramsey's Plane Food restaurant at terminal 5 (the best terminal by far). This always deserves a mention, my Eggs Florentine was a vision to behold and tasted pretty good too.

When we finally arrived in a rather nippy Berlin, we paid a visit to the trade show Premium first. This was a high-end fashion show where we picked up loads of details from potential new suppliers and brands with the aim to launch later this year. We caught up with the guys at Chaser LA and absolutely loved their new ranges, we now know whats coming in all the way up to July! Expect to see more distressing, ripped details, tie dye and fringing, perfect for this year's 90's trend. No pics allowed though, so you will just have to keep you ear close to the ground!

Then it was off to Bread and Butter which is housed in the magnificent (now de-funct) Templehof Airport. With all the original signs, luggage conveyor belts and check in desks intact, it really is a breathtaking venue.

Frantically weaving our way through the crowds, we got to drop by Chunk, Coloud and Worn By 's stands (as well as many more) where we got a sneak preview of the up-coming lines for 2012. And we can tell you, there is a lot to look forward to! We also spotted some exciting new brands here which we can't wait to start working with this year.

Hello love bugs,

Let me introduce myself, my name is Miranda, and I am a Manchester girl with a passion for music. I was very much a child of the 90’s – I grew up listening to influential musicians from my hometown such as Morrissey and Oasis and a love of music blossomed from there.

My appreciation of all things retro started at the grand age of 6, when I got my first album. It was a Ramones album, a band that had formed 15 years before I was even born. I even insisted for a time that my family called me ‘Riff’ in honour of Riff Randall from the 1979 film ‘Rock 'n' Roll High School’ featuring the Ramones. I was a little quirky, perhaps.

I still regularly watch ‘Rock 'n' Roll High School’, and I’d consider myself a huge film fan, although my husband is constantly infuriated by my refusal to watch anything new.

“How about we watch a film? The King’s Speech maybe? It’s supposed to be brilliant.”

“Erm, how about we watch Wayne’s World again?”
