Hey.

Just a quick note to let you know that if you've headed over to the site the past couple of days and found it down....well, its all sorted out now. There was a big old glitch at the main HQ which affected loads of people. Anyway, its all cool now. Thanks for your patience :-)

Secondly, Halloween is coming up soon - we've got a few treats you may like...crazy fashion lenses, an amazing New Era Halloween Pumpkin hat and loads of creepy Emily Strange stuff.

Finally - check shirts are so in right now. Make sure you head over to the site in the next few days to see our range. Better than H&M. Cheaper than loads of other people. Yup.

In the spirit of Halloween, heres an awesome homage to the greatest film of all time. probably.

Stuff. Nonsense. Etc.....

Hi.

So, aside from sending out the occasional mail to grab your attention, we figured it was about time we set up a cheeky little blog....for not other reason other than it gives us something else to do when we're not unpacking boxes, sending out orders, saying hello to customers, finding new and amazing brands and generally trying to be really nice.

There should be a little box/button where you can subscribe to this blog and get regular updates. Be sure to do this, cos as soon as new things happen, its gonna be here first.

In the meantime, if you'd forgotten how amazing Famous Stars and Straps were, best check this video:

Thats it!!
