Retro Range Run Down

Today Extreme Largeness have put their new range of Retro jewellery online. Premiering at London Edge last weekend, the bold and bright handmade acrylic jewellery pays homage to 80's gaming, comic graphics and Doctor Who. Here are some of my favourites.

Bazinga Necklace
by Extreme Largeness

I don't know anyone who isn't a fan of The Big Bang Theory and we all love Dr Sheldon Cooper's "practical jokes." Featuring his classic catchphrase BAZINGA! this necklace is literally a big bang. I love the primary colours and the big bold brightness of it, it's a true eye catcher and perfect for any BBT fan. Now available online for £9.

Tardis Necklaces
by Extreme Largeness

I've grown up with Dr Who from watching early episodes as a kid to the more recent Ecclestone/ Tennant/ Smith years. So when this little beauty came in I was very happy! The Tardis necklace is made from gorgeous mirrored blue acrylic. What really sets it off is the amazing engraved detail, with the iconic "police box" sign and even the tiny details on the door! All on a matching bright blue chain, it's now online for £7.50.

Pacman & Ghosts Necklace
by Extreme Largeness

This Pacman necklace is probably my favourite. I love the old school pixelated design and the little ghosts. The attention to detail is great, from the chain gap between Pacman and Pinky (yes the ghosts have names!) to ghosts and their real googly eyes! There's also matching rings available so the ghosts can chase Pacman on your knuckles too! Pacman & Ghosts Charm Necklace, £10.50, now online!

Extreme Largeness Heart Name Necklaces

wonky mouth much?
Extreme Largeness
Heart Name Necklace

Personalised necklaces from Extreme Largeness are the perfect gift. A massive success over Christmas, there are so many different combinations and colours to choose from, you can get something made that looks extra special for someone special. Which is why they're also perfect for Valentines Day! What more could you want than a necklace that has been personally created by hand for you?
I have an awesome pink and yellow one saying PONIES which I wear all the time. I wore it to last years UK PonyCon, and got lots of comments from the bronies and My Little Pony lovers. I love the cute bubble font, but you can get sharp rock font for a metal look or gorgeous shiny mirror impact font which looks really bold.
There are some great leopard print variations too, my favourite is the natural leopard print which looks really Rockabilly with red font. Or the green and pink one with pink font for trashy chic (yes, that is a genre, I'm not sure if I made up in my head, thinking Ke$ha meets psychobilly)
ALL FOR ONLY £10! Available now online or in the Afflecks shop!

What I Wore Today

I got this amazing maxi dress from H&M the other day, I was having a casual browse when I spotted it, sprinted a little bit, grabbed it, threw my money at the cashier and ran away. All because it has a cat on it. when I got it home I then realised it has a humongous slit up the front. But it still has a cat on it. So risking looking a little but prozzy-ish to wear something with a cat on it. Worth it.

Also got some gorgeous new liquid lippy from Lush's Emotional Brilliance range. Love these lipsticks because I've never worn anything else like them. It's not glossy but it's not matte, it has a really nice moisturising quality. I like that all their make up is really versatile, you can use this as blusher and eye make up, and the eyeliners they sell look ace in your hair. I got the Glamourous lippy which I've wanted for a while. Plus at the Manchester Arndale shop it's currently HALF PRICE!

Also sporting one of my Extreme Largeness favourites, the Wings Necklace. If I could have everything in gold mirror I would, if I knew it wouldn't result in blinding people with my shininess/ people exploding with envy. It's a huge necklace but avoids being Mr T-esque by being so beautiful.

Pixel Picks

Super retro pixelated graphics are popping up everywhere at the moment. Inspired by 80's nostalgia and 8 bit games, we know party rockers LMFAO are fans and we have seen Space Invaders style pieces in Topshop recently in their Spring Summer range.

Extreme Largeness paid homage to this look last season with their Pixelated Heart Necklace last season which comes in small and extra extra large for the gangsta nerd look.


Also a big fan of this awesome Flip Flop and Fangs Pixel Zombie Skater Dress from Blue Banana

Love the print and it would look ace with the necklace!

Hell Bunny Mystical Unicorns 50's Dress

Just spotted this amazing unicorns and cupcakes dress from Hell Bunny. It's a new design which they posted on their blog last Friday. Anyone who knows me well enough will know how much I appreciate both unicorns and cupcakes, hoping it will be available at Blue Banana or Attitude Clothing soon so I can get one of my own!

It would go perfectly with Extreme Largeness' Unicorn Necklace

One of my favourite necklaces, when they first got them in, I covered one in glitter to make an awesome space unicorn

The original non-glittery unicorn on gorgeous pink bead is available online at ExtremeLargeness.com

Extreme Largeness Varsity Patches

It's that time of year, January is a month of enthusiasm towards fitness and sport. Even if you don't actually participate, getting that gym membership and shopping for sweaters shows enthusiasm. Topshop's Say It Loud range combines comic inspired graphics with varsity slogans on sweats and oversized tee's. This style commonly associated with the high-school jock is paired with words like GEEK and DWEEB to create something tongue in cheek which looks great.

The Varsity Letter Patches from Extreme Largeness are great for creating this look and customising something plain. My grey hoodie is an old faithful, I wear it everyday. It has hair bleach on the hood and a hole in the sleeve, so it definitely needed some sprucing up. I ironed 2 of the patches onto the hoodie paying homage to varsity jackets and stitched around the edges to make it extra secure.

You can get 3 of these patches for only £5 online. They're really easy to apply, there's a blog available if you need a few tips.
