LalaLiars give us some LalaLove!


Last Friday, the SUPERSWEET team skived work and went to Standon Calling Festival for a day in Hertfordshire to check out our favourite band Liars headline. Much to our surprise (and without the band knowing we were coming), one of them was wearing LalaLove's Popeye top!


Sadly this style is now all sold out. But you can check out more here. Latest I heard was that guitarist Aaron is going through some hardcore Madonna phase, so he'll probably be bagging a lot of our Madges too!

ATP by Matt Groening Tweetathon

So some of you might know, I went to the ATP last weekend and did hour by hour on-site tweets. It wasn't easy, I don't talk to myself all the time that much but it was pretty interesting to have to busy myself all the time so I had things to tell. If you missed it, we had two cool guest tweets and here's the highlights of my past weekend with pictures. Follow us (or me, basically) at @supersweet!

Rachel Callaghan Animated!



So we've immortalised our favourite hero Adam Green in the epic comic strip by Joe Kelly, it's time we did our very mini heroine Rachel Mary Callaghan from KASMS!

Why? Rachel's a great friend of mine and we've always had so much fun together doing my mini "fashion projects" and I thought we had to take it to another level and do the biggest thing we've ever done - photograph her for the SS10 lookbook and animate!

If you click on individual products in our Shop now, you will see Rachel spinning round and round, something like this...
And in case you're curious, here's behind-the-scenes video of the day. We had much fun watching Rachel changing in and out of 50 outfits in 8 hours!

Welcome to SUPERSWEET, Sophie Hulme!

Sophie Hulme is the latest designer to join our Rockstar AW 10 range at SUPERSWEET! But how could she not? Sophie is, as we recently discovered, our very own Islington posse. She is the missing piece that completes us. We have clothes, shoes, jewelleries and now, because of her, bags...

With each collection, all her items come with collectible charms. The first one was a brass whistle with the brand and collection engraved, then a toy soldier, name tag and now (into her 5th season) a military whistle! Yes, something like this necklace below.
So look out for all these guys as they'll be coming to you before you know it. Armoured tan and black leather totes or box bags, whistle necklaces, belts (another category added) and the best thing of all to turn that mundane coat of yours (come on, everybody's got one) suddenly into the coolest thing you own - the bow necklaces! I know I'll be having one, armoured and protected please.

I'm gonna be a Rockstar!

Is it too soon to talk about the next winter when we've hardly made our way out of this one? I'm just slightly excited when I get to exercise my shopaholism through work and put it to good use!

With our wonderful SUPERSWEET Shop, I try to buy for each season as if everything was our own collection altogether. So with the current season (that's Spring/Summer 10, in case you're stuck in a time loop like me), we're doing Beach Candies... As for the next Autumn/Winter, I intend to turn everyone into a Rockstar!

Starting with Brooklyn's Noble Youth (only their 3rd season in!), they've borrowed a Hugh Heff's raspberry velvet jacket, cropped it, slashed the back out and stuffed it with black lace... actually a lot of super see-thru black lace to tease the crowd! Raspberry isn't the only option, there's black roses on brown velvet and black too!

For more of the "frontwoman" type, I've got the tassled leggings for you in three colourways from SteveJ & YoniP. If I were you, I'd rush and get my hands on everything now. We heard that Yoni is turning into a rockstar herself as she'll soon appear everywhere on Korean TV with her own chat show. That's some gossip for you!

We could go back to the 70s glam rock a bit more with IVANAhelsinki's billowing sleeves from her latest Copper Chain collection. Nearly everything shines and shimmers, and this cute lurex dress is no less. If you get it, wear it with the coolest leggings from threeASFOUR!
For me, I already have plans to steal this ultimate rockstar harness, again, from threeASFOUR. What an amazing idea! Just throw it on top of anything (and everything) and you're a superstar!

Oh and don't forget to put your new shoes on. Faux fur "wild things" from Opening Ceremony!

Now start saving money and book me for gigs at once!

LFW: Parade Your Fashion Icon!

Scary resemblance no?

We've got some smoking hot LalaLove Tees still available, but not for long! So be arrogant, tongue-in-cheek, or just plain silly and parade you favorite icon for LFW, from Auntie V Tee to a certain supermodel leg akimbo, Jeans Off. Hopefully you'll bump into one of them so casually, they'll think they're looking in a mirror...
