Right, lets be honest, most of us are going to pile it on this winter. There's too much fun food around to even consider a diet, and there's absolutely no way I'm going to consider any form of exercise more taxing then reaching for the roast potatoes. Easing your way back into an exercise routine … [Read more...]
Space Invaders from head to toe
Space Invaders stole a large part of my childhood with its addictive playing properties. Therefore, it's only right that I pay tribute to this simple game by wearing the famous icons with pride. A simple t-shirt just won't do. A true tribute to this mighty game can only be made through the … [Read more...]

It looks lovely, with seemingly … [Read more...]

My weakness for all things retro and geeky doesn't just stop at kids clothing, and after writing that piece I had a little wander onto Folksy to see what I could find. Turns out, there are quite a few jewellery designers who share … [Read more...]
Retro games clothes for kids
Ok, so the 80's bought us a lot of bad things. Bubble perms, shellsuits and Banarama to name a few. One thing they did get right, though, is Pac-Man. Incredibly addictive, I used to play this game for hours when I was a kid, along with Chuckie Egg (anyone remember that?) So, I squealed a … [Read more...]
