You don't really need a load of Star Wars guff for your house. But "need" and "want" are two TOTALLY different things. I mean, I "need" a dental check, but you don't see me posting pictures of teeth on my Pinterest page, do you? No. So without further ado, here's a round up of all the good Star … [Read more...]
Panning for Internet Gold: The owl jockey edition
Ah, internet. Without those rusty old tubes, almost nobody would know whether a Slow Loris liked to be tickled.

What do you F@*%ing want?!
We're off to watch the Olympics today so we asked sweary Crass Stitch founder, Kat, to write up her own blurb.

Review: The GoLondon DAB Radio
I'm a home worker, so more often that not a radio is playing somewhere in our house. My DAB radio (this beautiful PURE Orla Kiely ) has been rocking my world, both in looks and sound quality.

Retro Bakelite Alarm Clock. Simple but lovely
These Bakelite Alarm clocks from Dotcomgiftshop (£9.99) carry much of the charm of ye old world Bakelite goods, but are missing that musty aroma that you get from real vintage. The colours are the right shade of retro, and the plastic is almost as good as the real thing. All that's missing is … [Read more...]

It’s roped us in and whipped us up into a frenzy of “kinky f***ery”: The Fifty Shades trilogy is a book phenomenon that has remained in the New York Times bestseller list for the last 12 weeks.
